My Ex, Please Love Me Again

What Phil didn’t know was that Julian and Arthur joined Maisie and Ezra in coming. They were both concerned about Phil and Anya so they decided to come too.

Emelia and Jean didn’t join them but they gave their presents to Anya via Maisie, some meant for the baby and some meant for Anya.

Anya’s apartment was rather small so Phil took them to his place when they arrived. And Anya came over too.

Somehow Anya began to shed tears upon meeting Maisie. They held each other in the corner of the bedroom.

In Maisie’s assumption, the reason for Anya’s crying was that she liked Phil and felt truly sorry for his misfortune.

But Maisie didn’t say it outright. Anya’s feelings for Phil left her to discover.

After venting her feelings by crying, Anya was embarrassed. “Sorry. I don’t know what is wrong with me. I should be happy to see you guys but I just wanted to cry.”

She elaborated with sadness. “Although I am not familiar with his parents and I kind of hated his mother for trying to hurt my baby, I just felt sad seeing that they didn’t end well.”

Even she felt sad, not to mention Phil.

Maisie soothed her, “Nothing in life is sure. It is common for you to moan for them.”

“Yeah. You never know what happens next.” Anya had this feeling. “Sometimes I feel life is so hard. We have to experience the sorrow of separation and go through the hurt of betrayals over and over again.”

Mostly due to a series of events lately, Anya, as an optimist, couldn’t help but be in low spirits.

Anya felt much better with Maisie’s communication because she could have someone to talk to. She never thought about telling her feelings to Phil. He already had his hands full and how could she bother him with her personal emotional venting?

Besides, she did not develop the habit of telling him how she felt since the start of their marriage. She always concealed her inner thoughts and Phil could only learn that by guess.

In the living room, Phil told them about the situation here.

“I have had people look into it. Jenny’s parents planned this. They hired a woman to pester my father. They took some intimate photos and sent them to my mother.”

Phil said with irony. “I had to admit that they knew my mother’s weakness quite well. My mother was an arrogant woman with high self-esteem. She would be pissed off watching the photos about my father cheating on her.”

“And my poor mother fell into their trap, which directly led to her and my father’s tragic endings.”

There was no doubt that Jenny’s parents were behind all of this.

His assumption was testified with some digging. Admittedly they had a full understanding of Cara’s personality and weaknesses. No wonder they could get all the massive funding from Cara.

Julian frowned, “What about the car accident?”Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

“I looked into that as well,” said Phil. “It was an accident. I can only blame it on my father’s bad luck.”

Cara ran out suddenly, sending the driver a great shock. The driver did his utmost to stop the car but it was too late.

There was a short silence in the room. Julian comforted him. “I am sorry for your loss.”

Phil said with a bitter smile, “Actually I have no sympathy for my mother. I just–”

“Kind of feel sorry for my father. He has been living under restriction throughout his whole life and he didn’t feel a hint of delight even when he died.”

Phil could sense Trevon’s regret over his grandmother’s death when Trevon told him about Cara’s plan to harm Anya on the phone.

Trevon didn’t want his son to experience the same pain as he did so he made the call.

Though Trevon regretted it and made amends, Phil didn’t forgive him and Phil would never get the chance to do that because Trevon had died.

This became a permanent trauma to Phil. That was why Phil was so sad.

“The dead are gone. Let’s arrange for his funeral and then take care of your mother,” Julian said.

Arthur added, “I reached one of my friends here. He is a famous psychologist. He is on the way here to check on your mother.”

“Thank you.” Phil tiredly perched himself on the couch.

Holding his son with one hand, Ezra patted Phil on his shoulder with another hand. As his friends, they were always ready to help him without asking in return.

At this time Phil’s phone rang. It was from Gaven, saying that Jenny’s parents were begging to meet Phil to explain that they had no intention to kill Trevon.

They were just mad at Cara for giving up Jenny. So they attempted to retaliate against Cara by misleading her into believing Trevon having an affair. It never occurred to them that Trevon would have a car accident and Cara would go insane hearing his death.

Phil spared no efforts in punishing them after learning their plot. They were bound to spend the rest of their lives in prison. Of course, Phil didn’t forget to retaliate against Jenny. Without her parents’ protection, Jenny, who didn’t know how to make a living on her own, would be doomed.

After learning their looming retribution, Jenny’s parents pleaded for a chance to talk with Phil. However, as the major driver in his father’s death, they would never be forgiven by Phil. Phil answered Gaven with “give them the severest punishment” and then hung up.

They could have gotten away if they stayed still and left his mother alone.

Their personality decided their destiny. How would a remarkably selfish couple have a happy ending?

Ezra threw Phil another question. “Where do you want to bury your father? Home or abroad?”

Phil paused for a short while and said, “Let’s send him home.”

“He failed to fulfill his responsibility as a son to his mother when he was alive. Let him be with his mother after he died.”

“He has his roots in his home country too. He actually craved homecoming but he was too weak to disobey my mother.”

“Indeed,” Ezra responded. “Fallen leaves returned to the roots. He would have wanted that.”
