Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 1045

Anya didn't cry because of the pain in her arm. Instead, it was an excuse to avoid arguing with him in public. At that time she thought of Nina's suggestion that she could shun him by pretending to be sick. So she managed to escape after bursting into tears.

But she felt surprised when her tears rolled down. The crying was supposed to be a disguise. But tears actually fell down. To weep bitter tears of sadness?

Now she was confused by herself.

Anya didn't return to her usual calmness until she went back home and had a glass of water.

Then Phil called her. He sincerely apologized to her in the phone. "I am terribly sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I just need to explain something."

"I am fine." Anya answered. "You could go back to your work. See you at supper."

Anya wasn't in the mood to hear any explanation. And Phil was in no rush of explaining as well because new concern arose, for example, what about the lunch?

Wasn't he supposed to take charge of all the meals she had? Why skipping the first lunch after their pact?

He asked, "How about the lunch?"

Anya told him the truth. "I had an appointment with my mentor at noon."

"Your mentor?" Phil was fully alert. "A male?"

His words indirectly acknowledged that he had people investigate her secretly because he knew every detail of her life, including her mentor's gender.

Anya didn't bother to squabble with him about this.

She nodded, "Indeed he is."

Anya didn't think having lunch with her mentor, or a male, was a big deal. She wasn't having an affair with her mentor anyway. They were having lunch because her mentor wanted to ask her favor.

Her mentor was a married man. The favor he was about to ask was exactly relevant to his wife. His wife was obsessed with music and thinking if it was possible to learn piano after knowing that Anya could play that.

To show his wife's determination, he treated Anya to lunch.

Anya didn't tell Phil the whole story because she didn't think it was a necessary thing to do. He was just someone irrelevant to her and she was fed up with all his restrictions and rules.

She almost lost in touch with all her male friends because of Phil. He was so easily jealous that she couldn't even chat with a male. This man was possessively crazy.

She was good at socializing and used to join clubs. But later Phil meddled too much in her social life and she was compelled to quit. She rejected every social gathering except having class.

Every day she only had two destinations -- home and school. Phil was pleasantly satisfied while Anya was on the brink of depression.

She turned into a quite girl who stayed at home all the time from a people person.

Recalling the days when she was under tight control, Anya had growing resentment towards Phil who now again tried to restrict her.

Did he plan to control her as he always did?

Phil at first intended to elaborate something but he compressed his lips sensing the resentment on her voice.

Actually he was hurt by her repugnance. Did she really hate him?

Phil sunk into deep thought and Anya could feel that too. She continued to pour out her true feelings. "Phil, we have been divorced. You have no right to interfere in my personal life."

Thinking of the following days they were going to spend together, Anya wanted to elucidate her thinking to avoid the potential quarrels between them.
