My Ex, Please Love Me Again

If he was not the father, why did he specially send her here?

If he was not the father, he wouldn’t spoil her so carefully.

Anya did not expect her professor to be so clever and saw through her relationship with Phil at a glance.

“Yes.” She did not deny it, but explained, “We are divorced. He is here for the sake of the child.”

Hearing her words, Phil was speechless.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

He came here not for the sake of the child. The baby was his excuse to get close to her.

So, he explained, “I’m not just for the kid.”

He couldn’t leave such a bad impression on her professor.

Anya glared at him, and the professor could not help chuckling when he saw Anya’s silent protest. He warmly invited them into the house without giving any remark.

They chitchatted for a while, getting to know one another.

Then Anya went to the study with the professor’s wife and began to teach her to play the piano, while Phil stayed outside with the professor.

The professor told the story of him and his wife. It turned out that they were childhood sweethearts, but they did not have children considering his wife’s poor health since young.

The professor’s wife recently became infatuated with piano. Coincidentally, he heard that Anya was an expert in piano, so he sincerely invited Anya to teach his wife.

The professor also praised Chiobar’s culture. Phil replied, “Indeed, Chiobar has a long history and its culture does have some unique charm.”

The professor asked, “What happened between you and Anya? And you don’t have to tell me if you don’t want.”

Phil was okay with that and then told the whole story, from the first time he saw her to how they broke up and divorced in the end.

After hearing this, the professor was very upset, “I didn’t expect such a twist between you two.”

“A lot of twists and turns, right?” Phil mocked.

“Hey, young man, cheer up.” The professor comforted him, “As long as you really love each other, any difficulty can be overcome. You see, my wife and I.”

Phil said with a bitter smile, “I do love her. I’m just afraid she doesn’t love me.”

The biggest problem between him and Anya was that Anya didn’t love him. If she loved him, it might not be so difficult for him.

“Come on, try to make her fall in love with you.” The professor raised his hand and patted Phil on the shoulder, then got up, “I’m going to prepare some fruit and drinks for them.”

“Thank you.” Phil thanked the professor for Anya’s sake.

The professor got up to prepare, while Phil listened quietly on the sofa to the beautiful sound of the piano and Anya’s voice. He could tell that she liked music very much from her brisk and happy tone.

The morning passed quickly, and the professor and his wife wanted to keep them for lunch, but they politely refused and waved goodbye since Phil had some business to deal with.

On their way back to Anya’s place, Phil said apologetically, “I’m sorry you can’t have lunch with the professor because of me.”

Phil could see that Anya liked the professor and his wife very much and was willing to have more contact with them.

But he received a phone call from the boss who commissioned him to buy a foreign company when he returned home a few days ago. That boss said that he had come to Ustistan and wanted to meet Phil. He was a prestigious industrialist, and Phil couldn’t refuse.

Previously, that man said to give Phil time to consider whether to take the case. Now he took a long trip to meet Phil. Both of them proved his sincerity. Phil thought it would be rude of him to refuse this time.

“It’s all right.” Anya didn’t take it to heart. She could see that Phil was really busy.

She even wanted him to focus more on his work so that he could bother her less.

Somehow, she thought differently from many women. Many women wanted their husbands or boyfriends to spend more time with them, but she didn’t want Phil to spend more time with her.

When they were a married couple, Phil was a perfect example of a good husband. Except for unavoidable social activities, he would come home from work on time to have dinner with her, spending a lot of time with her.

Anya really didn’t like that. Occasionally, Phil could not accompany her because of work and he would be very sorry, but Anya was very happy that she could have some alone time.

He haunted her all day. She didn’t have her own free time.

She could do whatever she wanted when he was away. It made a lot of sense that distance made two hearts fonder.

It was the same this time. She was very supportive when he said he had an important person to see and had to leave quickly.

Knowing that he might take over the case, Phil said, “I may have to take a big case, and I have to go to Nortopia where the target company is located for some time, so I can’t take care of you…”

Phil was interrupted by Anya, “Work is more important.”

She was relieved, for she didn’t have to be bothered by him for some time. She even cheered with delight, but she couldn’t show it in front of Phil.

Phil raised a smile, “I think you really want me to stay away from you.”

Anya responded with a polite smile that was enough to express all her emotions, which meant he was right.

Aware that Anya wished him to leave as soon as possible, he explained, “I’ll have someone take care of your diet if I don’t have time.”

“No…” Before Anya finished her words, she was interrupted by Phil, “No matter what, you have to listen to me. Your belly is bulging, and it won’t be convenient for you to move, let alone cook.”

Seeing his decisive expression, Anya didn’t refuse.

Phil then added, “I will finish this case as soon as possible and try to come back to accompany you.”

Anya was very speechless. She didn’t need him at all!

After sending Anya back, Phil left for the appointment.

That boss was extremely sincere, so Phil had no choice but to take the case.

He even invited Phil to dinner, so by the time Phil returned to Anya’s place, he had had dinner with that boss.

In fact, Anya did not welcome him at all, especially after smelling the terrible smell on his body. She covered her nose in disgust, “If you don’t have anything to say or do, please leave. I can’t stand the smell on you.”

Phil, who was despised by Anya, raised his hand and pinched his forehead, “It’s nothing. I’m here to see if you’re all right.”

“I’m fine. I’m great. I’m very well. You can go,” Anya said in one breath and closed the door to enjoy the quiet night.
