There He Is Again, My Ex-Husband (Julian and Amelia)

Chapter 1073 In Your Dreams

“I...” Phil stared at Anya’s fair fingers on the belly and tried to say something.

Anya realized his intention subtly and shrank back a bit immediately. Then she glared at him, “Don’t tell

me you want to touch it. Not a chance!”

Phil was lost for words.

After that, he smiled helplessly, “Was it so obvious?”

She had guessed what he wanted based on a word he said.

“Your eyes have sold you out.” snorted Anya.

She noticed he had fixed his eyes on her belly and related it to the plots in the TV series where fathers

would like to caress the pregnant belly and talk to it, which was considered one form of antenatal

training.

But that was the interaction between the married couple. She had divorced Phil and she didn’t think it

made sense if she allowed him to do that.

So, she rejected him without thinking. Phil had to give up the thought since Anya was so determined.

“I’ll cook lunch for you now,” he stood up and said.

Phil had to comfort himself in his mind that he must be more patient. He had to consider Anya’s

feelings first no matter how eager he wanted to interact with the unborn child.

He convinced himself that the child was too small to feel anything now. He could try harder later. Maybe

Anya would let him interact with the child closely by then.

After lunch, Phil went to do the dishes in the kitchen, while Anya picked up a book and started reading

on the couch. Maybe the sunshine was too warm and cozy in the afternoon, or maybe she felt very

sleepy because of pregnancy, then she felt like sleeping very much after a short while.

She was reading a law book because she took law as an elective. The professor must raise some

questions in class if she could attend school tomorrow. She thought she was a top student and didn’t

want to be baffled.

She had no idea since when Phil had gotten out of the kitchen. She just felt it was suddenly gloomy in

front of her and the book was taken away in a second. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

“So, a law book helps you sleep?” said Phil, kinda teasing.

“No!” snorted Anya, “I’m just feeling sleepy.”

Fine, she admitted it was a bit too hard to understand and she felt sleepy, so she almost fell asleep.

She didn’t realize how difficult it was to study law until she took it as an elective. She wondered how

Phil had overcome it and she also heard that he did well in every subject, which had brought him fame

and prestige before graduation.

“Oh, really? I thought you found it too hard to understand and just fell asleep,” said Phil, staring at her

face.

“You can just ask me if you have any questions about it. I’m right here,” Phil said confidently. Anya

couldn’t stand his arrogance anymore. She just humphed and sat up abruptly.

“Your time is money, Mr. Henderson. I can’t afford to consult you. I’d better go to school and seek help

from the professors later.”

The professors in college were ready to teach and solve problems for students. It was their job and she

didn’t need to worry about anything else. God knows what kind of unreasonable demands Phil would

ask from her if she turned to him for help.

Phil didn’t insist and began leafing through the book.

He was thinking if it was necessary to be an honorary professor in her school to teach the lesson

specially for her. Then, she would feel free to ask him questions.

“I’m taking a nap in bed,” said Anya. She just didn’t want to stay with Phil anymore. They had been in

the same room for a whole morning and she could smell him everywhere.

“Go ahead,” Phil said neatly.

However, Phil knocked at the door again while Anya was about to lie on the bed, “What’s up?”

“Can you open the door, please? I have something to tell you,” said Phil.

Anya was really annoyed. What was he thinking? Couldn’t he just tell her everything before she

returned to her room?

A couple of days ago, Phil broke into the room while she was sleeping. Since then, Anya locked the

door when she got in. She was really too lazy and sleepy right now but she still had to open the door,

which had irritated her a lot.

She swore that she would make him regret it if he didn’t tell her something seriously important.

Bearing the thought in mind, Anya answered the door.

With a book in his hand, Phil stared at her and waved the book. “I’ll read to the baby every day from

now on. It’s antenatal training.”

Anya was speechless. That was it?

She felt rage surging up in her chest.

But she bore it and said in annoyance, “I can read to the baby by myself.”

Anya thought she was capable of doing antenatal training by herself. It wasn’t a big deal to her, since

she was a girl of many talents. He could just save the trouble reading to the baby.

She didn’t want to listen to his reading. She couldn’t calm herself down whenever she heard his deep

and low voice, which was like something tugging at her heart.

That was why she rejected him.

“That’s different. And it’s the only chance that I can be close to the baby for a whole day long, right?

You’re not going to deprive me of my right as a father, are you? Come on. I’m the father of the baby!”

Phil tried hard to fight for it.

Anya couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

“Mr. Henderson, are you guilt-tripping me on the moral high ground now? Indeed, you are a good

lawyer. You’re worthy of your job! You win, OK!” Anya put on a false smile and glared at him.

Phil burst into laughter at her glib satire, “Be right back at you.”

She was good at arguing.

“I reject your proposal.” Anya wasn’t gonna compromise, “And, there’s no room for negotiation, either.”

What a sly old fish! She couldn’t do anything with him when he moved into her room shamelessly like

that. Now he was going to take up her time for sleeping? No way! Just in his dreams!

Anya was firmly determined, so Phil had to give up and face the music, “Fine.”

Then, he was kicked out of the room rudely.

Phil took a look at the book in his hand, shook his head, and sighed. It seemed he had to come up with

something else to approach her.

He truly wanted to have some interactions with the unborn baby. He still wanted to tell him something

though he might not feel it or hear it in the belly.

He wanted to tell the baby that he loved his mother and it very much, that he would do everything he

could to enable them to live well, and that he wanted to win his mother back and give him a complete

family.

If possible, he wished the baby was a girl.

If he was gonna have a daughter, he would feel he never lived enough even if he would have only one

child in his life.

He wouldn’t be heartless like his parents and he wouldn’t leave the child behind to live with the older

generations in indifference. Instead, he was going to be a responsible father and he would be there for

his child all the time.

He would love them and care the most about them. Nothing else in the world was more important to

him.
