My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Phil was desperate and helpless.

Did she burst into tears because she understood what he had said?

Without thinking much, he carried the baby in his arms and began soothing her, “Sorry, sweetie. It was daddy’s fault. Mommy will be back soon. She’ll come back and tuck you in.”

But the baby didn’t feel like hearing anything now. Instead, she just kept crying loudly.

He kept comforting her and the baby kept crying hard. Finally, she cried herself to sleep, and Phil was exhausted.

He threw himself on the bed and lay beside the baby. In depression, he thought he had fallen into the hands of Anya and their daughter. Both of them were good at making him suffer.

Anya arrived at the station and met Gaven there. It was over 9 p. m. when she arrived at Phil’s place.

Gaven was gonna drive away as soon as he sent her back, but Anya stopped him amusedly, “Do you think your boss has been asleep?”Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.

“No. He’s a night owl,” said Gaven.

Phil texted to ask about where they were while they were on the way back. He was driving and unable to check the message. He read the message and texted back right after he stopped the car, “Downstairs.”

“Can you call him to make sure? I won’t go upstairs if he’s asleep,” added Anya.

“Really, he is awake. He has just texted me. Go upstairs now. I am going home to have a rest,” Gaven said and drove away quickly.

Anya went upstairs and rang the doorbell. She looked up and saw Phil, who answered the door and couldn’t help being stunned. He looked worn and haggard!

“What did you…” Anya was a bit confused.

Phil opened the door to let her in and explained, “Chris has been crying hard. Finally, she was asleep.”

Phil glanced down at her, “You’ve been tucking her in at night recently. Maybe she was a bit upset tonight for not seeing you. So, she kept crying hard.”

Anya pursed her lips and said nothing else.

Phil’s words had broken her heart.

Phil seemed to have sensed her sadness and comforted her, “Don’t be guilty. She has to get used to it sooner or later. You return to the country later, right?”

Anya hadn’t told Phil that she would return to the country. Phil got to know it when Abigail came to visit them last time. They had a tacit understanding that Chris couldn’t return to the country together with her, and Phil would stay in Ustistan to take care of her.

But unexpectedly, Chris had cried her eyes out without her mom around and Phil had got exhausted from comforting her. Anya knew clearly how hard and loudly Chris could cry.

With the thought in mind, she stared up at Phil and apologized, “Sorry.”

If she hadn’t hung out with her classmates to irritate Phil today, the baby wouldn’t have cried her eyes out and Phil wouldn’t have been so exhausted.

In fact, Phil was mad at her for hanging out without telling him or discussing it with him. But he was softened when Anya apologized to him so humbly. And his anger had dissipated.

“Did you have dinner?” he shifted the topic.

Anya nodded. They came back after having dinner together.

“Chris might wake up for milk later. Can you stay here for her? I’ll go for dinner.” Phil asked her opinion.

Phil didn’t have dinner till now. Anya nodded, with her lips pursed.

Chris was sleeping in the bedroom, and Phil was eating in the dining room while Anya was sitting on the sofa in the living room. They didn’t have much to talk to each other. Anya was strangely silent.

Phil glanced at her and became aware of her feelings immediately. Without doubt, she was guilty for leaving Chris crying hard and waiting for her.

Phil put down the fork and comforted her, “It’s a good thing for her to learn to get used to it. You can’t stay with her 24/7. Neither can I. she must get used to not being tucked in.”

Anya didn’t feel like listening to any word of comfort now because she knew it wouldn’t help much. She just wanted to be alone to relieve the sadness.

She glanced up at him, snorted, and looked away. She rejected his consolation in this way.

Phil was speechless.

He was kind to comfort her, but she was just annoyed with him.

It was more and more difficult for him to guess what she was thinking.

Chris woke up before Phil finished his dinner. Anya ran into the bedroom at once and saw Chris kicking her legs with her eyes turning red with tears. It seemed that she would cry out loud the next second.

But she giggled as soon as she saw Anya.

Anya felt distressed and thought the baby was super adorable at the same time. She changed the diaper for Chris and cuddled Chris in her arms softly. She acted to be angry and said lightly, “Christina, did you do it on purpose?”

“You know everything, don’t you?”

“You want no one else but mommy?”

Chris was waving her arms and kicking her legs joyfully in Anya’s arms as if she had understood every word Anya said.

Anya was touched and couldn’t help leaning close to her and kissing her cheek.

“It’s mommy’s fault. Mommy shouldn’t have hung out for fun to irritate your daddy.” Anya whispered to Chris, “I promise I won’t do it again. Mommy won’t leave you again until I have to.”

Anya finally felt better by carrying Chris in her arms and apologizing to her softly for a long while.

She played with Chris for a little while and tucked her in. Then she said goodbye to Phil and got ready to leave.

Phil wanted to chat with her but she wasn’t in the mood. So, he had to let her leave.

Chris was growing fast under Phil’s attentive care. She ate well and slept well and had grown more beautiful. Anya couldn’t help but rest her arms on the rib and take her little soft hands, “I love her. I can’t bear to leave her.”

Even so, she still had to return to the country to visit Lorie. Anya was distressed.

“You can come back sooner, then,” Phil said peacefully.

“Emelia and the girls want me to stay a bit longer so that we can gather together.” snorted Anya.

“You stay a bit longer for blind dates, don’t you?” Phil teased her.

Anya held her chin with one hand and peered at Phil. Then she said something irritating to him on purpose, “That’s right. Abigail has arranged several blind dates for me. It takes time to meet the guys one by one.”

Phil was irritated by her words but she just added, “Phil, if you meet some nice girl, you should ask her out and move on as well.”

As well?

Phil put on a gloomy face and looked at her.

What did she mean by saying that?

Did she mean she wanted to love someone else? So she wanted him to move on as well?
