All Chapters of The Heirs' Passionate Desire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

“Evelyn?” Andre’s voice trembled as he took in the woman standing in front of him. “Is that really you?” he asked again, clearly shocked that the woman he thought is long gone suddenly appeared.Evelyn took a deep breath, fighting to collect herself. Memories of the sweet, loving relationship she once shared with Andre flooded her mind. But in seconds, those memories faded, replaced by the painful realization of how cruelly he had abandoned her.And to make it worse, Andre had married someone she despised most in the world—her sister.Deciding on her next move, Evelyn took a bold step. “I’m sorry, sir, but I think you’ve got the wrong person,” she replied coldly.Before Andre could question her further, she swiftly changed the topic. “I’ll cover the cost of repairs for your car. Do you have a preferred shop we can go to right now?”Andre’s brow furrowed in confusion, clearly puzzled by Evelyn’s distant attitude. He was sure this woman is Evelyn, his former love. Though she looked older

Evelyn adjusted the rearview mirror, her gaze softening as she glanced at her two children in the backseat. "So, how was your first day of school?" she asked, her voice warm with curiosity.Liam, who had been uncharacteristically quiet, suddenly brightened. "It was great, Mommy!" he exclaimed, reaching over to squeeze Lily’s hand. "Right, Lily?"Unlike her brother’s enthusiasm, Lily’s smile was forced. "Y-yeah," she murmured, her voice barely above a whisper.Evelyn’s brows knitted together as she caught the hesitation. "Oh? Really? What did you two do today?" she probed gently, sensing there was more to the story.Liam launched into an animated retelling of his day—dancing, singing songs, learning new words, and making friends. He described how their classroom was decorated with bright posters, how the teacher had read them a story, and how he had played soccer during recess with some of the other boys. Evelyn listened patie

The next morning, Evelyn arrived at the office, her long legs accentuated by tailored black pants paired with a deep navy blouse. Her straight hair was half-tied, framing her sharp, elegant features. As she walked through the office, she remained oblivious to the admiring glances of several male employees.Reaching the office door Rena had pointed out the other day, she knocked lightly before stepping inside. “Excuse me,” she said, her voice soft yet clear.Inside, two desks faced each other. One was occupied by a woman in her thirties with impeccably styled wavy hair. She wore a white blouse with a plunging neckline and a fitted pencil skirt, her attire emphasizing her curvaceous figure.At the sound of Evelyn’s voice, the woman turned sharply, her eyes narrowing as if irritated by the interruption. She gave Evelyn a slow, deliberate once-over, her gaze dripping with judgment.“You must be Evelyn Sinclair,” she said in a cli

Lily’s innocent question left Evelyn gaping, while Julian struggled to suppress a laugh. Adam, however, remained silent, seemingly weighing the best response to give the little girl.Not wanting the situation to escalate further, Evelyn quickly stepped forward. “L-let me take Lily, sir. Sorry for the trouble,” she said, reaching out her arms.Seeing Evelyn’s hands outstretched, Adam handed Lily back to her. Yet, for some inexplicable reason, he hesitated. A part of him felt reluctant to let go of the cheerful little girl, as if he was already fond of her—a strange and unfamiliar feeling, especially for someone like Adam Dean, who had never particularly liked children.As he passed Lily over, Adam’s hand accidentally brushed against Evelyn’s. The brief contact sent a jolt through both of them, their gazes locking for a fleeting moment. The room seemed to still, thick with an unspoken tension neither could quite explain.

“I’m so sorry, ma’am,” Helena, the nanny, said, bowing deeply in front of Evelyn. Her reddened eyes made it clear she had been crying. “I’ve been so careless,” she admitted, taking full responsibility for what had happened earlier that day.Evelyn sighed softly, seated across from Helena in the living room. “I hope this doesn’t happen again, Helena,” she said firmly, though her tone remained calm. “I hired you to take care of my children, and I need you to be more cautious moving forward.”Helena’s head snapped up, her eyes wide with surprise. “You’re not firing me?” she asked, stunned by Evelyn’s words. She had fully expected her employer to let her go after her mistake.Evelyn’s lips curved into a faint smile. “As long as you promise not to repeat this mistake, I’ll give you another chance,” she said.Helena’s face brightened instantly, a broad smile spreading across her lips. “Yes, ma’am! I promise!” she exclaimed, her voice brimming with relief.Evelyn knew her children better tha
