Days went by soon. Phil went to Nortopia for research for two months when Anya was six months pregnant.
During that period, he came back to visit Anya several times, and although Anya felt relieved after he left, she had mixed feelings when he suddenly appeared.
In her third trimester, Anya always got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom.
She just woke up that night when she got a strange message. She unlocked her phone and saw a picture of Phil being with a woman.
They were sitting together in the coffee shop and having dinner together. The woman was a typical beauty with a beautiful face and a hot figure.
Looking at these pictures, Anya felt somewhat upset.
That woman was mature and charming, with exquisite makeup. She knew at a glance that she was a successful woman in business, the type she once thought a mature man like Phil would like. Now that he really had such a woman around him, she didn't know if he would have a crush on her.
Taking a deep breath, Anya put down her phone and went to the bathroom.
When she came back, she didn't feel sleepy at all. She kept thinking of that woman, with charming wavy hair and sexy breasts. Even she would be attracted to that woman.
However, Anya was also well aware that the person who sent her these photos was trying to drive a wedge between her and Phil.
And Phil was as concerned about her as always. Although he was now far away from her, he would call her many times and send her a bunch of messages every day.
Sometimes she was so annoyed that she didn't want to reply to his message, but within half an hour, he would call her and ask her why she didn't reply.
His performances made her feel that Phil didn't fall in love with someone else for the time being, so Anya knew it was someone's lame trick.
After comforting herself in this way, she lay down to go back to sleep, but the next second, she thought of the relationship between Lorie and Morgan.
Morgan had always shown the image of a good man and a good father at home, and because of this, her mother let her guard down and never thought that Morgan would have an affair.
Anya couldn't help thinking of Phil's excellence, feeling a sharp pain in her heart. Could Phil be pretending to be nice to her? Was it possible that he already had a crush on another woman?
These thoughts tore Anya's heart so hard that she didn't sleep well all night.
When Gaven came to pick her up early the next morning to give her a ride to school, he noticed her terrible look.
Gaven was frightened and hurriedly asked, "Miss Willigen, are you feeling unwell?"
Everyone knew that Phil took Anya and his child more important than his own life. Phil would feel very worried if Anya felt unwell, not to mention that Anya was now pregnant. Any sign of her discomfort would make him get on his nerves.
Anya didn't know that Phil would call Gaven to ask him about what Anya had done and how it was going with Anya every day before he went to bed.
Although Phil was in Nortopia, he missed Anya very much.
He didn't want to call Anya to ask those questions, because Anya would be annoyed at him, so he could only call Gaven.
"I'm good," Anya answered without much energy.
She was fine except for the chest tightness.
"Why don't you take the day off?" Gaven was worried. He didn't believe Anya's words as her face and eyes had betrayed her.
Anya was not good at hiding her emotions. As soon as she saw Phil, the pictures she received last night came into her mind, so she didn't want to look him in the eyes.
Phil captured all her emotions. Thinking that it was not a proper time to explain, he told Gaven who was in the driver's seat, "Go home first."
Gaven immediately sent them back. When Anya saw the prepared lunch on the table at home, tears welled up in her eyes and streamed down.
These dishes must have been cooked by Phil. He came back from Nortopia after a long journey and even prepared a good meal for her. She should really be moved.
But because of those photos and Morgan's betrayal, Anya always felt that Phil was pretending to be nice to her. Phil soon discovered Anya half melted in tears.
She didn't want to cry, and she didn't want to look so fragile in front of Phil, so she raised her hand and wiped her tears, intending to walk into the bedroom.
She didn't want to see him.
Phil would not let her go that easily. He strode up to her and the next moment he had blocked her way.
"Anya." He held her shoulder and said, "As I said before, I hope we can talk to each other about everything. No matter what questions you have, you can ask me. No matter what grievances you have suffered, you can just tell me."
It was only after the divorce that Phil realized that Anya had hidden a lot of things from him, so he talked to her candidly before, hoping that they could communicate with each other no matter what happened.
But now, apparently, she was hiding her thoughts again.
Gaven was right that she was in a bad mood, or a worse mood to be more exact. After all, during the months of pregnancy, Anya hardly shed tears in front of him.
