After drinking some wine, Phil was a little tipsy at the moment.
Feeling sad, he leaned against the wall outside the door and murmured helplessly, "Anya, how can you forgive me?"
Anya was originally overjoyed, but his words made her out of breath and heartbroken. Even she couldn't understand why she had such kind of emotion.
"Any, can you forgive me?"
"I really didn't expect such a misfortune to happen to your mother. I'm willing to pay you for the rest of my life. Just forgive me."
Anya was overwhelmed by Phil's confession. She said to the door with a terrible tone, "Phil, you are drunk. You need to leave. Stop acting crazy or saying stupid words here!"
"No." The man didn't intend to give up, "I won't leave until you forgive me."
Anya was furious, "Whatever!"
She had no idea why Phil was being like this tonight. Since he came to Ustistan to find her, he had been normal, gentle, and good-tempered. He did whatever she wanted him to do, and he never asked for her forgiveness.
She didn't want to mention this topic at all. She felt as if she was becoming more and more defensive about men, and she even had no idea of staying with a man forever. She thought it was good to live alone.
Although she didn't believe in love before, men were not that repulsive to her before. Such kind of feeling became more intense maybe because she was pregnant.
Flooded with disgust with men, she became quite indifferent, "Still the same. If you can accept the way we are getting along, you can stay, and if you can't, you can leave."
"Phil, I don't want to talk about getting back together, nor do I want."
Anya's indifferent tone calmed Phil a lot. He knew that after getting along well with Anya for some time, he became a little self-complacent and could not restrain his stronger urge to get back together with her.
Under the effect of alcohol, he just spoke up about what he wanted to say.
But Anya was much calmer than he was. Her words were like a fist, punching him back to reality.
He raised his hand and pinched his forehead, apologizing lowly, "Sorry, I was being offensive."
"It's getting late. Have a good rest. I'll go."
Hearing his footsteps, Anya breathed a sigh of relief, but she always felt uncomfortable, so he told the whole thing to Emelia and Maisie in the chat group.
When Phil got home and came out of the bathroom after taking a shower, he received a message from Arthur.
"Jean asked me to tell you not to talk about getting back together with Anya since pregnant women are easily agitated. That will only upset her even more."
"Well, you just have to be a companion while Anya is pregnant, and stop that drama thing."
Phil, "..."
"And, after giving birth, some women are prone to get psychological problems, like postpartum depression. What Jean means is that when Anya has just given birth, you'd better not mention that topic, either."
Phil was about to collapse, "That means I am nothing to her these years, right?"
Arthur replied, "If you really want to mean something to her and do not care about her feelings, you can keep on doing that for sure."
