My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Phil got mixed feelings but still called Gaven, telling him he couldn’t go to the office in person and requesting him to bring the documents to his place.

He understood that she wasn’t happy in their marriage. He manipulated her a lot like a control freak, which deprived her of interest in interacting with her classmates.

He didn’t wish to see her interacting with others a lot, especially those young and handsome guys. So, he would attend any of her school and class activities though she didn’t want him to.

Because of his identity and social status, he would surely make stir whenever he showed up in public. Once he made a stir, people would judge her, gossip about her, and even spread rumors about her. As time passed, she stayed away from people and didn’t attend any activities.

It was a good thing that she could get on well with her classmates.

Phil comforted himself in this way. Then he handled work while he was taking care of his daughter.

He was still worried about her safety though he told her to have fun. She was in a foreign country now and he was afraid that she would get into trouble, get bullied, and get hurt.

Then, he texted her a moment later, “Where are you now?”

“Are you having fun?”

“Call me any time if there’s anything wrong.”

“Have you decided when to come back?”

Anya didn’t reply to any of his text messages though he kept texting her endlessly.

In despair, he plucked up the courage to call her. He knew he would be despised but he still wanted to know if she was fine out there.

It took a long while for Anya to pick up the phone. Phil heard the laughter first before Anya’s voice came into his ears, “What’s wrong, Mr. Henderson?”

Mr. Henderson?

He found what she called him irritating to the ears but he heard someone asking Anya on the other end before he could say anything, “Who is it? Why is he calling you at this time? Doesn’t he know you are having fun?”

“A friend,” Anya answered with a smile.

The classmate said with a big smile, “What kind of friend? So mysterious. Or is he your boyfriend?”

“No. Just a friend.”

Anya said it and kept her voice down to ask him, “What’s wrong?”

Phil felt extremely bitter and sad in a second. A friend? Mr. Henderson?

But he just asked for it himself. What else could he do with it?

“Are you enjoying yourself?” he murmured.

“Yeah, very much.” Anya sounded very happy, which made Phil feel bitterer and sadder.

“OK. I’ll leave you to it, then. Be safe.” he said.

Anya hung up the phone as soon as he finished talking. Obviously, she was busy having fun there. Phil heaved a sigh and felt terrible.

He raised his eyes and saw the baby girl sleeping quietly in the crib. He felt more bothered. There was another girl that he had to worry about.

The baby was the apple of his eye. He wondered what kind of man she would marry to irritate him.

He was kinda breathless whenever he thought of it because he didn’t think any man in the world was worthy of his beloved daughter.

It was seven at night. Anya was on the train back.

She thought Phil would keep calling her again and again, but she just received a call from Gaven. Anya raised her eyebrows and answered the phone.

“Where are you now, Miss? I’ll pick you up at the train station.” Gaven asked with a smile on the phone.

Anya rolled her eyes and thought they couldn’t be more scheming.

Instead of asking her if she would be back today, Gaven asked her directly where she was now. Apparently, he was getting her to talk about her schedule. He wanted her to tell them whether she was back or not.

But Anya didn’t buy it. Then she added, “You’re at the train station now? But I didn’t say I would go back tonight.”

Gaven knew he had been seen through and rubbed his nose, “Don’t you miss the baby if you don’t come back tonight?”

Anya snorted.

Indeed, he knew exactly what to say to sting her.

“Mr. Henderson is worried about you. He told me to wait and pick you up at the train station but he didn’t know the specific time of arrival, so I can do nothing else but wait here,” added Gaven.NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

“I’ll be grateful if you could tell me the specific time of arrival so that I can make time for dinner.”

Gaven was sadfishing and she couldn’t bear to be so mean again.

She was at odds with Phil but she didn’t think she should get Gaven involved. Moreover, Gaven was a nice guy and they had always got on well with each other. He was like a friend to her.

So, how could she bear to see him waiting and starving at the train station?

“I am on the train back now. I’ll arrive at about 9 p. m.,” she said.

Gaven was happy to hear that, “OK, thanks. See you later.”

Gaven hung up the phone and reported to Phil immediately. He thought Phil would sigh with relief after knowing Anya would be back tonight and the specific time of arrival.

Others might not see it, but as his assistant, Gaven really felt Phil had been absent-minded for the whole day. He just hoped Anya would be back soon so that Phil could stop worrying.

But Gaven felt worse when he remembered Anya would return to the country very soon.

She would stay at least one month or longer once she returned to the country. He would have a difficult time if Phil was absent-minded like this every day.

Gaven couldn’t help feeling sorry for himself when he thought of the misfortune.

He really didn’t get it. He wondered why Phil suddenly let go of her when he still loved her so much.

Or, the deepest love was like letting go?

He had never been in love with someone and he got really confused.

And, Phil did sigh with relief when he heard when exactly Anya would be back.

He had just finished feeding the baby and put her on the bed. He stayed by her side with his legs crossed and lifted his hand to pat her soft cheek, “You’ve finished drinking milk but you are not sleeping. Do you miss her, too?”

“Do you want her to come back to cuddle you?”

“You can’t sleep tight without seeing her, right?”

Anya had dinner in his place recently. After dinner, she got the baby asleep, and then she would go back to her place.

As time passed, the baby had been used to being cuddled in her mom’s arms. That was why she didn’t sleep till now tonight.

He had no idea if she could understand his words. She just stayed awake, kicking her little legs and babbling.

Phil complained to the baby, “Forget her. She’s been out for fun. She has forgotten us. Just go to bed first.”

“Don’t wait up for her. It takes long for her to be back.”

Right after that, the baby suddenly pouted and her eyes were red with tears. Phil thought something awful was on the way. As expected, the baby burst into tears.

She cried so loudly.
