Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 1023

But she was still a freshman when Lorie had the car accident and she couldn't do anything with those bastards.

Moreover, they had taken some of the money and run away to live abroad, which made it more difficult for her to seek revenge on them.

She wanted to depend on a capable and powerful man. That was also the main reason why she agreed to marry Phil at that time. She admitted that she was snobbish. She thought Phil loved her face and body only and they just took what they wanted.

And, she guessed he might be impotent since he was still unmarried at his age. She thought their marriage would remain in name only even if she really married him. So, she accepted his proposal.

However, she found she had a wrong guess on the same day they got married. It turned out that he wasn't impotent at all. Instead, he was good at bed.

After they applied for the marriage licence, they went back to the hotel. Anya was thinking of taking a rest but Phil just pressed her on the bed and kissed her before wedding night. She kept crying and cursing him for the rest of their first sex. She condemned his as a dirty man and cursed him that he couldn't put it up.

She still remembered how angry she was when she looked at the bruises all over her in the mirror before she took a bath. After the bath, she went over to Phil, who was drinking coffee leisurely, and tried to get even with him. But Phil just untied his bathrobe idly and pointed at the love bites on his shoulder, "Let's call it even, OK?"

It was the first time she had sex and she didn't know how cheeky a man could be! She got blushed when she saw the love bites on the shoulder and turned around to run back into the bathroom.

She realized Phil did love her truly as time went by. She just thought he was obsessed with her young body and pretty face when they first got married. She even hoped he would let go of her once he got tired of her.

She would have finished her study in college and been mature enough to take a firm stand in the society by then. It was exactly what she wanted if he abandoned her.

But she didn't expect that he would come pick her up at the airport in the middle of night though they had divorced.

At this moment, Anya lay on Lorie's arms and felt warm and secure though she couldn't comfort her by saying or doing anything.

Finally, her mother had woken up. She was flesh and blood with thoughts and feelings again! She could feel all her emotions and she wasn't alone any more.

Anya couldn't stop crying until she felt the tears on her cheeks.

She raised her head with her red eyes and saw Lorie shedding tears too. Anya couldn't help to hold her and cry again.

They had no idea how long they had been crying. Finally, it quieted down in the room.

Anya dried her tears and then pulled the napkin paper to wipe the tears off Lorie's cheeks. Then she caressed Lorie's face softly and said with a smile, "Lady Lorie, you've been sleeping for so many years but you're still very beautiful."

Anya had been loved and protected by Lorie since she was little. She used to be a naughty little girl and liked to play jokes to enliven the atmosphere. She got on with Lorie like good friends and that was the real Anya.

Her words amused Lorie. Though Lorie smiled very lightly, she smiled truly from her heart and she had showed the real love and care for Anya.

Though she'd been unconscious for many years, Lorie still could see Anya had lost weight.

She knew Anya wanted to look good all the time and she had kept a great body shape. But she believed she wouldn't look so thin like this with the protection and care of Phil for the past few years.

Phil didn't have the heart to see her so skinny. She didn't look good or healthy at all.

Lorie also knew Anya had been spoiled since she was little. She couldn't cook or take good care of herself. She must have suffered a lot when she lived alone out of the country.

Thinking of it, Lorie felt like crying again.

It scared Anya out. Maybe it was because of the special bond between mother and daughter, she could feel that Lorie was too worried about her. So, she asked immediately, "Mom, are you worried that I have a hard time living abroad?"
