Chapter 180
Eudora should be frightened of Evan as well.
But compared to the strange woman who had abducted her, Evan was less of a stranger. Anya had brought Eudora and her brother to Evan’s place to play. The child naturally felt safer with the young man.
She shouldn’t. Anya had told her not to get too friendly with the young man when they had visited his place. She had listened to her mother and kept her distance.
But the young man was carrying her in his arms right now.
The girl felt strangely safe in his arms. His embrace felt as familiar as Anya’s.
Besides, the young man smelled nice. He smelled like peppermint.
Eudora stopped crying instantly. She wrapped her arms around Evan tightly and didn’t let go. It was as if he were her very own knight.
The woman who had snatched her from her mother had been terrifying. She had grabbed Eudora and started running. Anya couldn’t catch up with her at all.
Eudora had been so frightened.
She had been worried that she might never see her mother again.
Evan was startled by the light grip Eudora had on him. She was just a small child. The kid was hugging him fiercely with her tiny arms. A sudden and unexpected surge of paternal affection rose within the young man.
He patted the young girl’s back gently and tried to calm the child down.
Evan’s gentle gesture sent Hayden reeling with disbelief. He had just caught up with his boss.
His impression of Evan was of a distant and unapproachable man who kept everyone at a distance.
In fact, the young man carried himself like royalty. He was the emperor and everyone else, his humble servant.
Not this time though. The man was as gentle as a lamb.
Hayden wasn’t going to speculate the relationship that Evan might share with the young girl. But that didn’t mean that he had forgotten about the expensive kids‘ furniture that Evan had bought recently. Honestly, he couldn’t help but wonder privately.
Was the girl his boss‘ illegitimate daughter?
You couldn’t deny the possibility.
Hayden thought about the matter for a few moments before he shoved those terrifying thoughts aside.

Everyone detested human traffickers. In fact, they thought that human traffickers deserved capital punishment

They were the scum of the earth.

“I can’t believe it! She is a human trafficker! Make sure she doesn’t run. We have to hand her to the cops when they sove.” The woman’s begging didn’t invoke any sympathy for her. All it brought upon her were waves of disgust and anger
No one should be robbing another family of their kids because her own was gone. That wasn’t right
The crowd of onlookers seemed to have the situation under control. Eudora’s attempted kidnapper wasn’t going anywhere Evan decided to bring Eudora to Anya.
Meanwhile, Anya had been running for the past twenty minutes. Her legs were ready to give out. She finally managed to catch up with Eudora’s kidnapper.
That was when she saw the kidnapper surrounded by a crowd of onlookers. The woman was on her knees begging for mercy. Standing next to her was a man and in his arms was Eudora.
Anya felt tears well up in her eyes. She started sobbing uncontrollably.
The young woman raced towards Eudora as she cried. She pulled Eudora from Evan’s arms and hugged her daughter tightly. Her voice was choked with tears when she spoke. “I’m so sorry, Eudora. Mommy’s not going to let her eyes off you ever again.”
“I’m so sorry, Eudora.”

Aniya sounded anguished Evan frowned at the misery in her voice. He wasn’t going to yell at the woman in public. There were people watching. He reached out, grabbed Anya’s arm, and dragged her into his car. Then, he told Hayden to hand some tissue to the woman. “Dry your tears”
The man had saved her daughter. Anya didn’t refuse his kind gesture. She still kept her distance though. The young woman wiped the tears off her cheeks. “Thank you, Mr.
Evan fell silent for a moment. “You should be more careful next time
