Jean was a professional psychologist, so she analyzed things with great authority. Her words were equivalent to clarifying the irrationality of Phil's love. His heart was hit.
Jean said, "Since you are in such a situation now, you might as well start over with Anya and change your attitude. Don't be so strong and don't force her too much. Just let go appropriately."
"Emelia asked me to tell you that the best love is that she's being naughty and you're being amused, instead of she keeps silent to make you happy."
Phil got a laugh by these words. What was wrong with Julian and others? He did complain to them, but how could they tell everything to their wives? Not only that, their wives blame on him.
However, although Phil was annoyed, he had to admit that these words were indeed very reasonable.
It seemed that it was not a big deal because he was affectionate to Anya. In fact, there were many problems between Anya and him.
She didn't love him, which was deadly enough. Now his love was too heavy for her to instinctively reject it.
"Thanks for your advice." Phil no longer wanted to look at his mobile phone after saying that to his friends.
He didn't contact Anya anymore. Specifically, it should be said that he didn't harass her anymore. Originally in his plan, as long as he had time, he planned to go to Anya. Even if he did nothing, he would be relieved and satisfied only if he could see Anya in his sight.
After being hit by Anya's words today, he calmed down and rethought a lot.
Jean and Emelia were right, he needed to start over well with Anya.
Since they didn't have the basis of feeling before, they needed to cultivate their feelings first and get along with each other for some time. He should not force her so tightly. After all, they would never cut off in the future because they have a child.
Anya had a good lunch time with her mentor, who was in his forties. He was humorous and gentleman, and loved and respected his wife very much.
He made Anya feel very envious because she had never felt respect in her four-year marriage with Phil. Everything between them was imposed on her by Phil.
Outsiders thought that Phil loved her so much, so she must be happy as if she was soaked in a honeypot every day. If she was the kind of girl who was content with the status quo and has nothing in her mind, or she was the kind of girl who worshiped money and loved vanity, maybe she will feel very happy.
But she was a very independent person. In addition, she was a little bit rebellious and unruly. Phil added such heavy love to her, forcing her to accept it and fall in love with him, which will only make her more and more rejected.
In fact, she had a hunch about their ending. Either such a tragic divorce or she became depressed and crazy.
Phil never asked her if she liked anything he gave her. He bought piles of luxuries to fill her wardrobe, took care of every detail in her life and gave her everything he thought was "the best". He made her become a canary in cage from a free girl.
She never liked those luxuries, nor did she like fancy cars or houses, let alone jewelry. She just wanted to be a simple and ordinary university student and enjoyed her school life.
At the beginning of university, her life was colorful. Later, as Phil strongly intervened in her life, everything she was forced to change.
She no longer loved to socialize with others. It was not that she didn't love it anymore, but that she didn't dare to love it. When Phil knew that she talked, laughed and played with her classmates, especially those male classmates, he would punish her severely every time. Each time she had to cry and beg him for letting her go.
That made her feel ashamed.
However, when she saw the car parked downstairs, she suddenly couldn't move.
That car was exactly the same as the one she saw parked across the street a few days ago, even the license plate number was the same. Now she had been sure that it was Phil's car. Last time it was not that she thought too much. He had indeed come to Ustistan.
The car was parked downstairs of her apartment right now, which meant that Phil had already prepared dinner for her.
Anya raised hands irritably, grabbed her hair and walked home with heavy steps.
When Anya walked into the door, she smelled the fragrance of food all over the room, but she didn't see Phil. So, Anya guessed that he must be in the kitchen.
Anya was unwilling to come in and change her shoes. God knew how embarrassing she was in such a situation. Phil was actually quite bad-tempered. In the past, he sometimes ignored her after they quarreled.
In fact, she enjoyed the silent treatment, which meant she could finally stay away from him for a while.
However, why didn't he ignore her even she spoke those bad words?
He should continue to the silent treatment!
He came to cook for her in such a situation, didn't he feel embarrassed?
