My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“Alright, I’ll shut up.” Phil held back his laughter and coaxed Anya.

Anya heard Phil’s playful tone, which irritated her so much that she pulled over the quilt to sleep with her head covered, in no mood to go on reading.

She really wanted to let the females fascinated by Phil see the dark side of him and maybe their fantasies about him would be shattered.

Phil slept outside on the sofa all night. Although he felt uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa, he felt very pleased within himself.

Anya woke up by WhatsApp’s prompt tone in the morning. She fumbled for her phone and found it was a message from Nina.

Nina, “Why did Gracie, that bitch, return to Chiobar a few days ago? I heard from Sherlyn that Gracie signed with an agency. It seemed that she planned to start a career in showbiz.”

“I’m not sure if you’re clear about this. You said that they didn’t dare return home because of Phil, didn’t you?”

Probably considering that Anya was still sleeping, Nina didn’t say anything more.

When Anya saw the message, she was a bit stunned. Gracie’s family was indeed scared of Phil, so they had been living abroad over these years.

When Lorie got into a car crash, Anya wanted to kill Morgan, Luna, and Gracie, but was stopped by Phil.

Later, they were all driven abroad by Phil, and Anya hated Phil for a long time because of this.

Although Phil did not explain anything, later Anya gradually understood the reason why Phil did so. He wanted to protect her by stopping her from doing something crazy.

Also, he probably did not want to let that shameless family of three live in Riverside City or show up before her from time to time to give her trouble, so he just drove them out of the country.

Out of Anya’s expectations, that family of three now returned home.

Did Phil relent?

If so, what was his purpose?

Thinking of this, she hurriedly replied to Nina, “I haven’t heard about this.”

Nina made a video call, “I just learned about it and I’d like to ask if you need me to deal with that bitch. I have plenty of opportunities to punish her underhand.”

Nina was clear about what to love or hate. Anya did believe that she had many ways to torment Gracie. Moreover, based on Nina’s status and seniority in showbiz, she could deal with a rookie like Gracie with ease.

However, Anya smiled and rejected Nina’s proposal, “No, no need to dirty your hands because of such a shameless person.”

“It’s not a big deal for me.” Nina proudly said, “I love dealing with such villains the most. I can tear them to pieces.”

Then she added in contempt, “The threshold for being an entertainer was getting lower and lower these days. Literally, even a random guy can work in showbiz and get a piece of the pie. What strengths does Gracie have? How come agencies want to sign her?”

“She’s plain-looking and tacky with a poor body image. Also, she’s not a professional actress. Well… I can’t figure out why.”

Nina’s words of degrading Gracie brought a smile to Anya’s face.

Actually, Gracie was not as bad as what Nina described. She was very tall with a good body shape. She had been working as a model before and had studied ballet and music, so it was suitable for her to enter the entertainment industry.

Of course, compared with Nina, a stunningly beautiful actress, Gracie was really nobody.

She heard that Gracie had planned to enter showbiz before. If she hadn’t been driven out of the country by Phil, she should have a good career development there.

In the past few years, Anya heard that Gracie had been working hard on this abroad as well, but it was harder for Gracie to get recognized since she was from Chiobar, so she could only be a makeup and dressing blogger, or to be more exact, a social media star.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

Anya had cast a few glances at Gracie’s posts on social media. Her makeup and dressing were really a disaster from Anya’s aesthetic view.

“Hey, don’t just laugh.” Nina said in the video call, “Did Phil know this? Was it possible that he allowed them to come back? What did he intend to do?”

“I’m not sure. He’s never heard of it either.” Anya indeed knew nothing about this matter, “Let me ask him later.”

Anya said it casually, but Nina who was gossipy sensed something suspicious and immediately asked, “Ask him later? Is he at your place now?”

“Yep,” Anya replied honestly.

Nina exclaimed, “He slept in your house last night? Oh my, you didn’t sleep together, did you?”

Anya was embarrassed and denied, “No, no. He slept outside in the living room, and my bedroom door locked.”

Nina laughed out loud, “Well good, I thought you two were caught in passion.”

Anya said helplessly, “Come on, my big star. I am now a pregnant woman.”

Nina said, “So what? Pregnant women can have sex, too. You’ve passed the first trimester.”

Anya sighed, “That’s not a problem. The question is, with my current ugly appearance, can he be aroused if I throw myself at him?”

She didn’t know if she had overthought. She felt that her body was swollen as her belly bulged little by little.

It seemed her facial skin was worse, and she was plain-looking now.

Nina got anxious when she heard this, “Well, you should take it easy. A pregnant woman should be the most beautiful. You’re nurturing a life after all.”

“Besides, how come you say you’re ugly?”

“You are as gorgeous as before to me, or even more beautiful than the first time I saw you.”

“In my opinion, a gorgeous woman like you should enter showbiz. It’s ridiculous that Gracie is the one that enters showbiz.”

Anya had to admit that Nina’s compliment had washed away her recent anxiety and inferiority.

Anya raised her hand and pinched her cheek, “Thank you for the compliment. I always feel that I have become bad-looking, perhaps because pregnancy can make women sensitive.”

“It’s not true at all!” Nina answered very firmly, “You must be carrying an angel in your belly, making you more and more beautiful.”

Anya laughed so hard.

Outside the door came the knocking sounds, “Anya, are you up yet?”

Nina heard it in the video call, and then said, “No more chatting, or I will disturb the private time of you two.”

Anya was speechless.

She thought, ‘Private time of you two? I don’t want to spend time with Phil, not at all!’

But before she could say anything, Nina had said goodbye to her and hung up the phone in a hurry.

Anya had no desire to sleep, so she answered Phil at the door and got up to get dressed, but then she remembered what Nina had just said about Gracie, and she felt somehow irritated.

Phil didn’t relent or allow them to return, did he?
