My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Since Arthur and Jean could take good care of the baby on their own, Abigail discussed it with Brandon and decided to provide medical assistance again. Surely, they had also discussed it with Arthur and Jean and had won their support.

Jean was in a muddle when she just entered motherhood, but she thought she was good at taking care of the baby now. And Arthur was a great husband and father. He helped a lot. So, she didn’t need any other help. Honestly, she also hoped Abigail and Brandon could keep doing what they loved.

She didn’t need Selina to stay to help if it wasn’t for the fact that Selina was unwilling to go home and live with Harold.

Anya was moved by Abigail’s kindness. But she still rejected it, “I haven’t visited my mom for a long time. I will go back to the country. You can come over and give me a diagnosis next time if necessary.”

“OK. No problem,” said Abigail. She liked Anya, too.

Jesus! How she wished she could have a daughter! But it was only a wish in this life. So, she had no choice but to show her love and care to others’ daughters.

Thank God she had a granddaughter now. She preferred baby girls and she had played with Phil’s and Anya’s daughter for quite a long time before they had dinner together.

“What’s the name of your daughter? Have you come up with one?” Phil asked Arthur when they were eating.

“Bella Hudgens!” Arthur said firmly.

Abigail punched Arthur on the shoulder unhappily, “Why must you act against Jean on the baby’s name? Jean has given her a very nice name. Why must you name her Bella Hudgens?”

Jean didn’t speak to him for a few days because of the disagreement about the baby’s name. Abigail was mad and couldn’t understand why he refused to take her advice but insisted on naming the baby Bella Hudgens. He was usually obedient to Jean in every way.

Fortunately, Jean was open-minded and tolerant. They made peace very soon and she had accepted the name. Abigail thought Jean spoiled Arthur, too.

Arthur bore the pain on the shoulder and explained, “The name means my promise to Jean and my hope for our dear daughter.”

Anya licked her lips and giggled. Surprisingly, Arthur was stubborn and romantic.

“Thankfully, Jean didn’t bother to argue with you. Otherwise, you’ll be the first and only one who is abandoned right after having a baby!” snorted Abigail.

Abigail taunted him without mercy and Arthur just said nothing but to bury his head to eat.

“No, Abigail. Arthur is not alone,” Anya said with a smile across the table.

Anya didn’t say it bluntly but Abigail had heard the stupid things that Phil had done. So, she felt sorry and distressed for Anya when hearing Anya’s self-mockery.

She glared at Phil with a grudge and comforted Anya, “Forget those stupid jerks. There are millions of good guys out there.”

“And you are so young and pretty. I bet thousands of guys want to ask you out.”

Anya just smiled but said nothing. Phil, who was sitting next to her, looked bad and felt bitter. Anya had mocked herself for being abandoned right after giving birth to a baby. That wasn’t what he wanted but he had no choice but to make a decision like this.

He didn’t want to do that, either.

In fact, he loved her so much.

Then, Abigail talked to Anya friendly, “By the way, I know plenty of capable young men in the hospital. Would you like me to introduce some nice guys to you when you return to the country next time?”

Arthur was almost choked with food. He wondered what the hell his mother was doing. How could she fan the fire like that?

Beside Anya, Phil paused. He thought Anya was gonna reject it but she just agreed without hesitation, “That’s great. I admire doctors since I was young. They look so handsome in the doctor’s overall. It will be nice if I could marry a doctor.”

Arthur was speechless.

He glanced at Phil, who had pulled a long face, and didn’t know what to say for the moment.

As a doctor that married a psychologist, Arthur didn’t give a very clear opinion about Phil’s choice as Ezra did. Instead, he understood that Phil was going through a hard time and he needed some time to calm down and get past it.

But what if Anya fell in love with someone else and stopped waiting for him when he was still getting over it?

Abigail wasn’t bothered by those two guys’ complicated feelings at all but talked directly to Anya, “Deal! I’ll give you a diagnosis and introduce some good guys to you when you go back to the country next time.”

Anya replied with a big smile. And Phil didn’t feel like eating anymore.

After dinner, Arthur and Phil went downstairs for a smoke. Arthur asked him, “Will you go back to the country with her?”

What if Anya fell for some capable young man if he didn’t return to the country?

It didn’t mean he took Anya as an easy girl. But he thought it was possible that Anya would do something with other guys only to piss Phil off.

A woman’s heart is a deep ocean of secrets. Arthur was scared of it now.

Phil took a hard drag on the cigarette, “No. The baby is too young to travel long distances now.”

He didn’t want to travel long distances with her before she was one year old. She was a premature baby and she was a bit weaker than normal kids. So, he thought it would be better to raise her in a stable environment before she was one.

“That’s true.” Arthur nodded.All content © N/.ôvel/Dr/ama.Org.

“So, you just let her go back and meet those guys that my mother introduces to her? You’re not gonna do anything?” Arthur asked again.

“She has to go back. She misses her mother and should visit her” Phil said in a deep voice, “So, the only way is to ruin the blind dates.”

He said it and looked at Arthur. Arthur got him immediately but shrugged, “Hey dude! My mother arranges it. Do you think I can ruin it?”

“Don’t count on me. I can’t nail it.”

Arthur understood the reasons why Abigail got in the middle of Phil and Anya. On the one hand, she liked Anya a lot and wanted to help Anya vent her anger.

On the other hand, she wanted to irritate Phil. And it would be very hard for him to mess it up.

Phil glared at him unhappily, “Are we still best friends?”

“Actually, the best way is to get back together with her before she returns to the country. In that case, you are in a serious relationship and she can’t go to those blind dates,” Arthur said helplessly.

Arthur’s words silenced Phil. He said nothing and smoked hard.

Maybe he hadn’t smoked hard like this for long. He was choked with the smoke and began coughing severely. Noble and dignified as he, he looked quite awkward when coughing severely with the cigarette in his fingers.

Phil almost quit smoking since Anya got pregnant.

He could hardly smoke now since he had to live with his daughter and take care of her. Thus, he wasn’t used to the strong smell of cigarettes.

Arthur didn’t say anything but sighed silently. For what?

Maybe it was a good thing that Abigail and Anya irritated him like that. Maybe it could make him realize sooner that he couldn’t live without Anya.
