Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart novel Chapter 1058

Anya now had also become calm and self-assured. Adhering to the principle of eating without saying anything, she ate with her head down and not saying a word, ignoring Phil’s silent protest.

They finished their lunch in total silence. Phil put down his fork and looked at the girl sitting opposite him. He said, “I have a question.”

Anya looked back and felt his question would be hard to answer.

Phil smiled at her. “Do you think… two strangers would sit face to face and eat together like us?”

Anya could not answer him.

She knew he was not easy to fool. What a sharp question!

To fight back, Anya pretended she did not know what he meant and responded to him coolly, “Why not? We are the best example, aren’t we?

“We don’t know each other well, but we still sit down to eat together.” The last sentence was added on purpose.

Phil was gritting his teeth in anger and stared at Anya with the tip of his tongue pressing against the molar tooth.

For fear of annoying him and being lifted up to kiss, Anya moved her eyes away and explained, “Many school girls were interested in you when you came to my school. One of them asked me about you and wanted your phone number or something.

“I just want to study here quietly and don’t want to be involved in affairs. So I told her we don’t know each other well.”

Phil huffed, “Just tell them I’m your ex-husband. You can then study more quietly. I’m sure no one will ask you about me hereafter.”

“I don’t want to have any contact with you,” Anya retorted without a second thought. “I don’t want others to only know about our relationship but never know MY value.”

It was true that Phil was excellent and common people could not hold a candle to him.

But Anya thought she was good, too. She was confident in her excellence in appearance, capacity, and character.

Her college entrance exam grade was among the top. Also, she was among the best students in her major as director scenarist. She used to be a confident, outstanding girl.

But it was all because of Phil that she lost her name after their marriage. Every time others mentioned her, she was called “Phil’s little wife” or a worse nickname. No one knew she was Anya.

She did not want such a life again.

She wanted others to call her by her name. She had her own excellence.

Phil looked shocked. He never knew she cared about her name and fame so much.

To be honest, he had never thought that his identity and position would make her upset. He had always believed that she would take vicarious pride in them.

“Anya…” In his heart, shock, heartbreak, and great guilt were so intertwined that he could not help but murmur her name.

He never meant to hurt her. He wanted to present her with the best in the world all along.

“Lunch’s over. You have to leave.” Anya had nothing to tell and stood up to see him off.

“I never meant to hurt you.” Phil knew it was time to leave and he made a solemn statement before he walked out.

His statement, however, only elicited Anya’s self-deprecating laugh, “But you gave me a deadly blow.”

Anya’s mother’s car accident was the bad blood between them that would never go away.
