My Ex, Please Love Me Again

They left the City Hall and went to have a light breakfast together. Anya drove Phil to the airport. When they arrived at the airport, they felt more reluctant to part with each other.

In the parking lot, sitting in the car, Phil hugged and kissed his new wife, unwilling to part with her for even a second.

They’d been together for long, but it was still hard for him to stand parting with her.

But he had to leave for Ustistan as their baby needed to be taken care of. The baby was too young to travel long distances back to the country, so he had to go back to Ustistan instead.

Phil hugged Anya and sighed, “I feel so sad to part with you.”

Anya nodded in his arms, “Me too.”

Anya was in a dilemma. Her husband and daughter had to stay in Ustistan, while her mother had to stay in Chiobar, and thus she couldn’t take care of them at the same time.

Anya wrapped her arms around Phil’s waist and said, “When I go back and finish my studies, we can return home sooner with the baby and stay long in Riverside City, so none of us has to travel back and forth.”

“Okay.” Phil nodded and suggested, “When we come back, we’ll take your mother to live with us.”

Dr. Choffard had said that Lorie could go home to recuperate, but he was afraid that the caregivers alone couldn’t take good care of her at home.

But if they went home and Lorie lived with them, Lorie could be watched over 24/7, and they would be much relieved.

Anya shook her head and sighed, “I’ve talked to my mom about this before, but she said she wouldn’t live with us even after she got out of the hospital.”

“She said we had our routines and she had hers. Living together may cause conflicts. She would rather live near us than live with us.”

When Anya said this, Phil understood Lorie immediately.

He couldn’t help but gently rub Anya’s hair and say, “Your mother is really thoughtful.”

Conflicts would be caused if parents lived with their children. No matter how close they were, the accumulated conflicts would hurt their feelings for each other.

That was why Phil said Lorie was thoughtful. She knew the cons of living together with them, so she would rather live near them to make it convenient for them to visit her and keep a proper distance from them.

“Yeah, she’s very thoughtful.”

Anya sighed softly, “To be honest, I feel like I didn’t understand my mom at all before. It was only after she woke up and asked me to take revenge that I got to know her.”

“She’s a strong-minded and tough woman.”

“She’s smart, wise, and strong.”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Anya poured out her heart to Phil.

In fact, she was a bit sad when she talked about Lorie, and always felt guilty for not knowing her mother well before.

“It seems that your character is like hers.” Phil could feel how frustrated she was, so he hugged her tightly to soothe her.

It was a good thing Anya was brought up and educated by Lorie wholeheartedly, otherwise, she would have been led astray by Morgan.

Gracie was a good example of it.

“Well, it’s getting late, you should hurry to catch your flight.” After some sweet talk, Anya urged Phil who held her in his arms to leave.

Phil could only reluctantly get out of the car, thus separated from Anya.

Anya stayed there to continue to deal with Luna and Gracie, and also to accompany Lorie.

Gracie’s career had been ruined because of the two public outcries over the slander about her, and Anya’s next step was to hand over the evidence to send Luna to jail.

Phil had introduced the most competent lawyer in his firm to Anya when he left, and gave all the evidence they had to that lawyer, who would be fully in charge of the case later.

The lawyer was a female, and when Nina and the other girls knew it, they laughed at Phil for not giving Anya any chance to meet a man and thus arranging for a female lawyer.

Anya believed that Phil did it on purpose, but he refused to admit it when she talked to him via the video call.

“What do I have to worry about? You’ve got married to me for the second time. I have faith in you and myself, so I didn’t mean to arrange a female lawyer for you.” Phil said that, but he didn’t mean it.

Anya laughed at him, “Oh, really? She told me she was on a business trip for another case, but you insist she should come back and take the case.”

After Phil flew back to Ustistan, Anya was contacted by this female lawyer, who was around forty years old and exuded the vibe of a competent and tough lawyer.

She was single and had absolutely no desire to get married.

Anya was chatting with the lawyer when the topic of marriage came up.

The lawyer said slowly, “I’ve been a lawyer for so many years and met all kinds of people, and many unfortunate women, and do you know why those women suffer?”

Anya wondered, “Why?”

The lawyer smiled and said, “Because they fell for men.”

Anya froze for a moment, then realized that the female lawyer was mocking those scumbags and instantly burst out laughing.

The lawyer also laughed, “There are beautiful love stories, like that of Mr. Henderson and you, but there are some unpleasant ones in this world. Some choose to do anything for love, but I choose to never fall in love.”

“Yep, they are just about different choices.” Anya was appreciative of the lawyer’s remarks.

Some chose to get married and have children, while some choose to stay single and focus on their careers. Both choices were acceptable.

After chatting for a while, Anya then learned that she was the lawyer assigned by Phil to take charge of her case. The lawyer was well aware of Phil’s intention of keeping Anya away from the male lawyers.

Anya snorted, “You lied to me that she was the best lawyer in your firm in handling my case, but she said she was the best at handling economic cases.”

“Phil, you arranged an unprofessional lawyer for me.”

Phil hurriedly explained, “Firstly, the lawyers who can enter my law firm are the best in the legal profession, and they are all-rounders. It’s just that most of the cases she handles are about economic disputes.”

“Secondly, she is a female lawyer, so it’s easy for you to communicate. You may not know she emerged from a criminal case she handled.”

“Okay, got it.”

Anya was not blaming Phil but making fun of him instead, because she knew Phil would not be that irresponsible to assign an unprofessional lawyer.
