My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“What are you looking at? he chuckled and asked her. “Aren’t you looking at me?”

“No way!” she retorted in exasperation and didn’t admit having looked at him obsessively.

He explained tenderly, “I was about to ask you to eat fruit when I looked up and saw you staring at me.”

Anya blushed in embarrassment and wondered if she had stared at him just now.

She just zoned out, instead of being enchanted by him and she explained to the smiling man, “I just recalled some things. Don’t smile like that.”

He wore a flirtatious smile. “It just so happens that I have some wonderful memories too.”

His tone and words rendered her sullen.

Just as she was wondering whether she should scratch his face, his cell phone rang, breaking the intimate, and somewhat awkward atmosphere between them.

He glanced at her and went to the living room window to answer the phone. Meanwhile, Anya angrily picked up her fork and stabbed the man’s cut fruit, and began to eat.

She denied that she stared at him since she didn’t think he was that attractive.

Then, Anya looked up at the man on the balcony wearing the simplest white shirt and black trousers. He was holding a cell phone in one hand and making a call with the other hand in his pants pocket, looking perfect in the figure.

She admitted that he was perfect and that he was a standout among men in terms of face, body, and temperament.

She pouted and regarded him as a handsome but still cunning man full of tricks.

Her mom…

She stopped thinking further.

In fact, she had thought countless times about what kind of life she and her mom would be living today if he hadn’t exposed her dad’s cheating and her mom hadn’t been in a car accident.

Would her father and Luna transfer the property and then divorce her mother, leaving nothing to them?

Her mom might find out about her dad’s affair, get a divorce, and get a piece of his fortune.

But no matter what happened to her parents, Anya would live a frugal life. Luckily, Phil provided her with the best things these years.

“You keep staring at me.”

As she was deep in thought, he had ended the call and walked over smilingly.

Anya paused and turned shy since she finally realized her eyes had actually rested on him.

Unexpectedly, he finished his call quickly.

For a moment, she compressed her lips and lost her words.

He leaned slightly over the corner of the table with one hand. “Honestly, am I the most handsome man you know?”

His naive question and narcissism rendered her speechless.

“No,” she replied, “Your friends, like Julian, Ezra, and Arthur, all look handsome and enchanting.”

Irritated, he could do nothing about it. Anyway, he could not get jealous of his friends, could he?

He snorted, “What a blind woman.”

Then he added while looking at her affectionately. “In my eyes, you are the most beautiful one in the world.”

He could easily show his love for her by saying sweet words.

All the time, he would express his love for her in deeds and words.

“You are too glib.” She lowered her head. “I’m trying to read. Stop talking.”

She looked over, afraid that she would immerse herself in his tenderness and handsome appearance.

Among all the young talents, he was acknowledged to be outstanding. Even on a list that she had seen, he was on top, along with Julian and Ezra.

When they were rich single men, women, including celebrities and famous young ladies, courted them repeatedly.

She and her classmates also commented on them, but at that time she was still in school and didn’t meet the group of successful men.

Since Anya didn’t respond, he had to return to his seat to focus on his work. They also spent most of the quiet morning.

In order not to be disrupted by Phil, Anya simply put on a headset, listening to music while learning.NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

She wanted to go to the bathroom, but Phil decided to hold her because her legs were not working now. And if she refused his help, Phil would carry her over.

Phil put water, fruit, and snacks in front of her so that she could eat them.

At noon, he opened the door as the doorbell rang.

As soon as the door opened, there came a sound that made Anya frown. Jenny snarled at him from outside the door, “There you are! Your mother was hospitalized. What are you doing? Dating a woman?”

Anya shook her head helplessly and thought Jenny was so foolish that she mentioned his despicable mother at this moment.

Surely, Phil indifferently replied, “Get out.”

“Phil! Why are you so obsessed with her that you don’t care about your mother in the hospital?”

Anya did not know whether Jenny understood the grudge between Phil and Cara, but always felt that Jenny’s accusations were unpleasant and unreasonable.

In the eyes of others, if Jenny did not understand his experience, she could not condemn Phil in this way.

It was unfair to Phil.
