My Ex, Please Love Me Again

Phil regretted promising to take care of their daughter.

If their daughter had been in Anya’s care, she would not have gone out drinking.

He took a deep breath and patiently asked, “Maybe you’re in a bad mood because you miss your daughter?”

Since she didn’t reply, he knew he was right and added, “If you miss your daughter, you should come back to see her. In that way, you won’t feel bad. Wine only makes you suffer.”

Worried that it was unsafe for her to drink alone outside, he persuaded her to go home.

But Anya read his thoughts and mocked him. “Phil, I know your intention. You just don’t want me to drink. Let me ask you one question. What are you to me to meddle in my business?”

Her question was seemingly unreasonable but aimed to force him to redefine their relationship.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.

If he insisted on drawing clear lines between them, he should not intervene in her business.

If he intended to mind her business, he had to get back together with her.

Phil was both amused and annoyed when he saw through Anya’s intention.

He found an excuse. “I’m making sure you’re safe.”

She sneered and retorted, “You needn’t worry about my safety. I’m responsible for my own safety, and whatever happens to me is my business.”

Then the phone was hung up. Phil held the phone and could do nothing.

In the past, he would decisively get her back. But now…

Phil hopelessly looked at the bedroom where the baby was sleeping and he could not leave the baby alone to find Anya.

He had to admit that Anya could easily irritate him.

She knew he could not go to her, so she went to the bar boldly.

Phil wouldn’t leave Anya alone, so he called Gaven, told him the whole thing, and asked for his advice, “Do you want to take care of my kids? Or do you want to find Anya and keep an eye on her for me to make sure she’s safe?”

Gaven immediately made the choice. “I go to find Anya. I’m afraid that I can’t look after the baby.”

In fact, Gaven didn’t know how to take care of a newborn baby.

“OK.” Phil agreed and added, “If she wants a drink, let her have some.”

“I see.” Then, Gaven set off and found Anya in a bar.

At the sight of Gaven, Anya turned annoyed and knew he was instructed by Phil.

Feeling her impatience, Gaven touched his nose awkwardly and sat down opposite her.

“Anya, don’t blame Mr. Henderson. He’s just worried about you.” Gaven defended Phil while she ignored him and poured wine into her glass.

Bearing Phil’s words in mind, Gaven didn’t stop Anya from drinking. Unexpectedly, Anya complained about Phil with Gaven after drinking some wine. “Do you think he’s a coward?”

The question startled Gaven and he could not give any answer since Phil was his boss.

Gaven knew that his boss proposed to end the relationship with Anya and felt that his boss did it because of his deep affection for Anya. His boss was worried that he would make her suffer more so he broke up with her. Thus, Gaven didn’t think his boss was a coward.

Without getting any response, Anya mocked. “You are a coward, too.”

Gaven was speechless and felt aggrieved by Anya’s sudden criticism.

“Though he’s your boss, can’t you judge him? Does he forbid you to tell the truth? He is a coward. He loves me but has no courage to be with me!” Anya said in a snappish tone and then continued to drink.

Feeling that Anya drank too much, Gaven tried to stop her. “You should stop drinking. Otherwise, I could not send you home.”

If she was drunk, he wouldn’t dare hold her or carry her home.

Phil was busy with his work when he got married to Anya, so he occasionally asked Gaven to pick up Anya.

But Gaven was almost fired because he had a happy talk with Anya on the way.

Gaven didn’t lose his job after repeatedly explaining to Phil that he had no feelings for Anya.

Working for Phil for many years, Gaven was finally promoted to the general manager of the Ustistan branch, so he highly cherished his job.

Thus, he reminded Anya not to drink too much. Right on cue, the idea of tormenting Phil jumped into Anya’s mind.

She instantly put down the glass and stumbled to Gaven while the latter tried to distance himself from her for fear that their intimacy would irritate his boss.

The next second, Gaven was startled by Anya’s movement.

She hit the video recording button on her cell phone, took his arm, and said affectionately, “Gaven, I heard that you don’t have a girlfriend, and I’m single now. What do you think of me?”

Shocked by her words, Gaven trembled and lost his words.

He thought, ‘Is she getting me into trouble deliberately? My boss still loves her. Even if he doesn’t love her, I’ll never have the gall to mess with her, as it’ll upset him!’

“We are the same age, so we must have a lot in common. Do you remember that we used to have a good time talking? And I think you’re young, handsome, and very spirited. I think you’re a perfect partner for me.”

Scared by her words, he covered her mouth with one hand and tried to delete the video by grabbing her phone with the other.

But Anya was quicker than him. She touched the screen lightly and then the video was sent to Phil.

Gaven became hopeless and felt he would lose his job.
