There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband novel Chapter 1128

"Anya." He cornered her, picked her up by the chin, and called her name angrily.

He had intended to threaten her not to behave in this way. But she looked up to stare at him and bit her red lips plaintively.

He paused and was enticed by her deliberate move and approach.

Phil, who had been refraining himself from making love with her since she was pregnant, was completely aroused.

Suddenly he let go of her jaw and turned away, clenching his teeth. "It is up to you."

As he quickly walked out, she snickered and thought he could not keep calm in the face of her flirting.

He hurried downstairs into the car.

Anya slowly walked over when he was sitting in the car and kept drinking mineral water.

Anya cleverly stopped arousing his desire and quietly sat in the car. If she kept flirting with him, she believed he would throw her out of the car.

He silently finished his water and drove to the hospital.

As they got close to the destination, they had mixed feelings, including joy, excitement, guilt, and remorse.

At the thought of the sufferings their daughter was forced to experience, they were heartbroken.

In fact, both of them visited their daughter these days. She would sit silently outside the hospital room for some time while he would pull into the parking lot and smoke in silence to ease his guilt.

They came to the hospital separately to have a look at their daughter, but their purpose was the same, that was, to accompany their daughter quietly.

After he parked his car in the hospital parking lot, they did not get out of the car immediately but sat in the car in silence.

In the depressing atmosphere, so much guilt and regret crowed into his mind that his hands on the steering wheel slowly tightened until they were white at the knuckles.

Before getting off, he, overwhelmed by sorrow, breathlessly said to Anya, "Let's go."

These days, he tried to keep calm by burying himself in work. But when he came to pick up his daughter today, he recalled what happened and turned sleepless and restless all night.

Feeling his bad mood, she called his name when he walked toward the elevator. "Phil."

Instead of sounding annoyed when she used to call him by his name, her tone was tinged with a touch of coquetry. He stopped and turned to notice her red-rimmed eyes.

She said, "Can you hug me?"

With her eyes closed, Anya buried herself in his arms to smell him and wondered when he could get past it. She really wanted to be with him.

After a while, he asked helplessly, "How long are you gonna hold me?"

Anya collected herself and snorted after loosening him. "Are you so reluctant to be held by me? You are really fickle."

Offended by her harsh words, he rubbed the top of her head vigorously. "Do you know what we are here for?"

They came here to pick up their daughter instead of hugging each other in the parking lot.

Anya knew why they were here for sure. She just needed an outlet to vent her anger and grievance after he broke his promise that he would be with her forever.

He was the one that pursued her like crazy. But now he decided to break up with her since he was beset by guilt and regret, leaving her alone.

Had he ever considered how sorrowful she felt in the face of his change?

Anya compressed her lips, glared at him, and stormed out.

Phil confusedly pinched his forehead and followed her, wondering why she got angry.
