My Ex, Please Love Me Again

“Dad…”

“Mom…”

Jenny was on the brink of collapse with her face badly battered; she then collapsed to cry seeing her parents taken away.

Stella and her friends had thought the policemen were called by Jenny’s family, only to be shockingly amused that they were here to take Jenny’s parents away.

“Well, well, it looks like someone’s scheme to use others to hurt Anya boomeranged on herself at the expense of her parents arrested.” Stella kicked Jenny.

Stella and her friends were gloating while Jenny dropped into desperation.

She was just confused about why her parents were arrested. Stella’s words made Jenny suddenly realize it could be Phil.

“He…”

Jenny was annoyed to think about that possibility. Was he aware of her plan to harm Anya with her mother?

But she didn’t expect Phil would relentlessly send her parents behind bars in retaliation.

She definitely knew what her parents had done these years to be brought up in such surroundings. They were only safe with their fishy business not known to others.

She then crawled hurriedly to stand up and went to her home. She wanted to call Cara to save her parents considering their lasting friendship these years.

Stella’s friends wanted to keep Jenny from running away but were stopped by Stella. Stella had taken her anger out on Jenny whose parents were just arrested, so she thought it was enough.

“Let’s go. Now that her parents were arrested, she would have tough days from now on. Anyway, if anyone should be blamed, it was herself,” Stella said.

Stella then gathered her friends and left. She had a panic fear after getting in her car that her family would suffer if she was not reminded timely by Anya.

When she thought about that, she was less jealous of her rival Anya; she even abandoned the idea of pursuing Phil whose retaliation was so relentless and swift.

Anya on the other side didn’t know what happened to Jenny; she just quietly took lectures for a whole morning. Phil called in advance that he was outside her university to pick her up, yet she borrowed several books in the library on purpose to leave with fewer people on campus.

What happened between her and Stella made her try to spare herself problems by avoiding being seen with Phil.

Of course, she texted Phil before borrowing books that she might come a little later.

But Phil also knew why she did that.

He understood that it must be because of Stella that she decided to play that.

Not only did he bore down on Jenny’s family, but he also warned Stella’s father to discipline her daughter to stop troubling him. He would not make further moves as long as Stella’s father knew a thing or two about behaving correctly.

Anya came out later and sat in the car silently, and so did Phil. It didn’t take long before reaching Anya’s place because of the close distance.

What came into her view after getting off the car was Cara, with bruised and sloppy Jenny standing beside her.

Anya frowned.

Cara and Jenny were the last people she wanted to see in the world because they were too annoying.

But…

She also couldn’t help gloat seeing Jenny’s almost disfigured face. She thought Stella was also too violent.

Yet then Anya felt lucky for herself not to be beaten so hard by Stella, otherwise, she and her baby might suffer.

Anya felt uncomfortable to see Cara and Jenny, even more so for Phil.

He knew immediately that Cara came here to intercede with him because he didn’t answer two calls from Cara.

Phil sneered at her biological mother Cara who was aware of the reason why he did that but still appeared in front of Anya with Jenny and still wanted to intercede with him.

Did she give any thought to how Anya would react seeing her help someone who tried to hurt her?

Anya had just made peace with her in the morning, and now at noon, she was helping an outsider.

Even Phil began to feel terrible for Anya. He regretted being kind to Cara who couldn’t tell who was the one bonding with her and who was the one worthy of her defending.

“Mean and malicious people are forbidden to be here; we didn’t want to see you even more so.” Phil broke the silence bluntly for Anya not to be insulted again.

He then put his arm around Anya’s shoulder, gesturing for her to leave with him.

“Phil!” Cara stopped him immediately.

Jenny refused to talk at first, frozen there. She stumbled to get close to Phil and Anya with Cara dragging her a little bit.

“Sir, would you please stop punishing my parents? We knew we did a terrible thing and we would never do it again,” Jenny said in tears.

“Phil, that’s right. Let us just stop going after them since I go way back with her parents.” Cara found a proper moment to wade in.

“Ma’am,” Phil yelled uncontrollably, “Don’t you know why I get back at them?”

Cara pursed her lips. “If you don’t know, may I tell you word by word?” Phil continued.

“They made bad blood between Anya and others, using others to hurt my baby; and now you are here to intercede with me in front of Anya! You are evidently conniving with those. Don’t you feel sorry for Anya who buried the hatchet with you this morning?”

Cara was embarrassed and awkward.

She didn’t expect Phil to pull no punches to humiliate her in front of Anya because she anticipated that she could avoid this turning into a big thing by interceding with him.

Cara was so awkward to see Anya sit by that she hoped the ground to open up and swallow her.

Cara’s Waterloo made Jenny out of control. “You think I am mean and malicious, but I gotta tell you Anya is no less.” She exploded.

“She instigated Stella to batter me, and I’m almost disfigured! It’s all on her.”

Jenny accused Anya, stamping her foot.

“You want her to be kind to you after your malicious plot against her? I think she could have done it bitterly, so I helped a little bit by having your parents arrested which I still find not enough to punish you.” Phil sneered.Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Jenny didn’t expect Phil to connive at Anya’s evil deeds. It pissed her off.
