Desires Die Hard

Shower was a brief affair that took twenty minutes. Anya changed into a fresh set of pajamas and headed to her bedroom.

Her precious angels had curled up against each other and were fast

Anya tiptoed her way towards them and gave them each a light peck on the cheek. She slid into bed next to them, wrapped her arms around them gently and went to sleep

All she had now were her two precious children and Ellie She mustn’t allow Evan to find out about her kids

But honestly, she had been shocked by the kiss tonight

No matter how hard she tried, Anys couldn’t fall asleep Sleep evaded her

Her head was filled with images of the distant looks on Evan’s handsome face She couldn’t stop thinking about his slightly cool and surprisingly soft lips

The young woman knew she shouldn’t be thinking about Evan

Because the man didn’t love her. He only wanted to have a good time

The thought mortified her

It was driving her insane.

Anya gave herself a harsh rebuke privately before shutting her eyes. With her kids in her arms, she gradually fell asl

She woke up the next morning

Anya didn’t dream of Evan Before she could open her eyes, she felt something warm and soft kissing her cheeks

The kisses didn’t stop

They were wet

Anya’s eyes snapped open instantly. Her precious angels were awake. She found herself sandwiched between them as they sprawled on the bed and pressed kisses to her nose, eyes, and cheeks

Nathaniel wouldn’t stop kissing her He was especially enthusiastic with his kisses

Her cheeks were wet with salival

Eudora, on the other hand, was a quiet kisser when compared to her brother

She kissed like a princess, planting soft kisses on Anya’s cheeks

Anya found her head swimming as she turned from side to side, eyeing both her kids as she beamed brightly. “What naughty little devils you are!

“Mama…mama…mama…no…no…” A flustered look appeared in Nathaniel’s eyes when he heard what Anya had said. He shook his head furiously, as if trying to tell his mother that he wasn’t naughty or the devil.

Neither was his sister.

Anya heard Nathaniel said ‘no‘ loud and clear.

She froze and stared at her son in surprise.

Weren’t kids supposed to start talking when they were two?

Nathaniel was only one this year.

Anya couldn’t believe her ears.

He might be an early bloomer.

Anya thought girls were meant to be early bloomers when compared to boys. The average girl started talking sooner than the average boy. But Nathaniel seemed to be the exception.

He had been the first to take his first steps and the first to call Anya ‘mama‘.

He spoke clearly and was beginning to learn simple words despite being only one.

It seemed unbelievable.

Anya patted Nathaniel’s face. He looked like a replica of Evan. Her voice was filled with love, “You’re learning to speak your first sentence, aren’t you, angel?”

Nathaniel nodded and stuck his chin out proudly, “Yes…yes…I am, mama…mama…

Anya widened her eyes in startlement. She had been busy with work recently and hadn’t been paying much attention to her kids. She hadn’t realized that Nathaniel had begun to speak his first simple sentences.

She whipped her head towards Eudora. “Hey, sweetheart, can you do that too?”

Eudora behaved exactly like a one–year–old.

She wasn’t speaking in sentences yet and she didn’t really understand what Anya was saying.

The young girl simply blinked and stared at her mother with her wide and beautiful eyes.

It appeared that Nathaniel was the only one of the two who had begun talking.

Anya felt delight filling her heart. She lifted her kids into her arms, got out of bed and headed to the living room. She had to tell Ellie that Nathaniel had started talking. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

She didn’t have to though. Ellie already knew.

Her aunt was the one who had been taking care of Nathaniel and Eudora all this while. She had known that Nathaniel had

begun practicing his first words as he watched cartoons. The boy would mimic their actions and try to repeat the words the characters on TV were saying.

He struggled with the longer sentences.

But he spoke the simple sentences just fine.
