My Ex, Please Love Me Again

The air was filled with contempt for Gracie.

“Gracie’s mother was such a bitch that hooked up with a man whose wife was pregnant,” someone whispered.

“It was more disgusting that she gave birth to the illegitimate child.”

Gracie felt ashamed and awkward.

Though she knew what her mother did, she didn’t care at all before she was cursed.

“Right. Another thing is that Gracie has a brother who also shares the same father with me.” Anya continued with a smile.

“And my parents haven’t been officially divorced.”

People at the party were stirred again.

It was inconceivable that a man had another child with a mistress while he didn’t divorce his wife.

“Anya. Shut up!” Gracie yelled hysterically and wanted to shove Anya.

Anya stepped backward quickly because she knew Gracie would do that out of shame and anger.

“What are you doing?” Some onlookers stopped Gracie and accused her.

“Well.” Nina stood up for Anya and stared at Gracie indifferently, “Are you justified by anger and shame to batter others?”

Nina protected Anya because she was confident to deal with Gracie. She once kicked a man’s ass when he tried to assail Emelia.

She had never met someone that intimidated her, not to mention she wore a pair of high-heeled shoes today that could make Gracie pass out with a kick.

That was why she insisted on going here with Anya – to prevent violence.

Nina had an intimidating quality, and she was also known for kicking the guy who tried to hurt Emelia, so everyone knew she was good at fighting and Gracie gave up right away.

“Go on.” Nina turned her back and signed to Anya.

Anya nodded and said calmly, “My mom didn’t divorce my father because she wanted to earn more legal interest and rights by collecting more evidence, but a car accident happened to her before she could figure things out. Then she has been in a coma for many years until she woke up recently.”

“That’s why the formalities for a divorce haven’t been finished.”

Phil helped Lorie compete with Morgan on the court, but she only took some properties of their share through written agreements. As for the divorce agreement, she needed to sign her name personally.

If she died, that marriage would lose effect automatically; but she was in a coma with vital signs, which meant that marriage could only be finished by her own signature.

Morgan and Luna thought Lorie might never wake up, so they went abroad boldly.

“Anya! Do you think you are totally innocent?” Gracie yelled to prevent Anya from digging out more.

“I can tell you that she was the ex-wife of Phil. She hit on him at a young age but Phil got sick of her for only several years and divorced and abandoned her.”

“But she got herself pregnant secretly to make Phil come to her in Ustistan. She tied Phil to her with their child.”

“Are you any different from me?”

Gracie kind of exposed some big news. Phil was very famous in Riverside City, so his story with his ex-wife also made news. There was a rumor as soon as they were together, and then the gossip about their divorce, and then there was no news at home about them.

Then word had it that Phil’s ex-wife studied abroad to heal from emotional damage or pursue her study.

Phil was absent from news of Riverside City for a long time for some reasons, but rumor had it that he also went abroad.

If Gracie was right, Phil must do so for Anya and his child.

Nina didn’t let Gracie’s fake news sink in but confronted her directly, “If that was true, why would Phil take a bullet for Anya when they were attacked in Ustistan?”

Then those on-lookers were totally shocked.

He took a bullet for Anya?

If that was not true love, then nothing qualified.

Who else could put love before their life?

“What?” Gracie stepped back in shock.

The whole thing about the gunshot was not known to people at home because Julian and others controlled it to avoid rumors, so Gracie didn’t know it all.

She heard the news for the first time, just as everyone else did.

But it did shock her that Phil would take the bullet for Anya. His life was priceless, after all.

The jealousy and astonishment drove her crazy.

Why? Why Anya could make Phil do that for her? She didn’t deserve that!

Right on cue, a man’s cold and aggressive voice rang across the noisy hall. “Who gave you the gall to cook up such a story?”

Then Phil was seen walking from the door in a black couture suit with elegance and indifference.Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Gracie was at a loss and sprained her ankle when stepping back in a panic. She collapsed to the ground like a drowned rat, but no one helped her up.

Anya was more shocked than Gracie. “You…” Anya covered her mouth seeing Phil walking toward her steadily.

She wanted to ask why Phil came, but she was too staggered to say anything.

“Sorry for keeping you waiting.” Phil stood in front of her and apologized.

Others might have no idea what he was talking about, but she knew it immediately.

What he referred to was the period when he offered to cut off their relationship. Anya felt like crying, but she knew it would be inappropriate; after all, Gracie was here.

And her only thought was about their daughter. “How is our daughter?” She blurted out.

It might not suit the occasion, but that was her instinct as a mother.
