Just when Phil was angry at her attitude, he heard her ask him, "Will you be in danger?"
Seeing that his beloved woman was worried about his safety, Phil felt much more relieved instantly.
He comforted her, "I will be fine. They won't dare do something to me. I'm just a lawyer. Besides, even if I don't take the case, other lawyers will take it. It is my client's company that is determined to acquire it."
He added, "So I have been working overtime these days so that I can finish it and come back early. And then we can return home."
Before this, Phil fully solicited Anya's advice on whether to go back to Riverside City to wait for childbirth. Anya decided to go back after careful consideration.
Her relatives and friends were all in Riverside City. Besides, Arthur had a hospital there and the most important thing was that she could often visit her mother.
Originally, she planned everything well, thinking that even if she studied abroad, she would often come back to visit Lorie, but the plan changed so fast, which caused her to never go back after the visit when her mother first woke up.
Anya missed her mother very much, though Lorie's nurse would send her some photos or videos of her mother every day, and sometimes Anya would do video calls with her mother.
Lorie was still recovering and couldn't speak, so they couldn't communicate with each other.
With so many thoughts in mind, Anya decided to return to Riverside City to give birth, and she also sought the advice of her mentor. Her mentor was a very reasonable person who supported her going back and promised to send her courseware by then so that she wouldn't be left behind.
Anya was very grateful.
Since they had decided to go back, they certainly could not wait until she was about to give birth, because that was not safe. Thus, they decided to go back when Anya was eight-month pregnant. By then, Phil should finish his case.
Anya felt a bit guilty when she heard Phil say that he had been working overtime these days.
He was already so busy and tired, but he still came back to explain to her about that woman.
She chose to trust him again.
Sometimes Anya thought that she would take it if he really cheated on her one day.
Before they had finished their meal, Gaven called Phil, "Mr. Henderson, it's time for you to catch the plane."
Since he was too busy with his work, Phil could only stay for a few hours this time. When he arrived, he made a delicious meal for Anya and went to pick her up. Just now, they talked for a long time, and there was not much time left for him.
"I'll be right down," Phil said and hung up the phone.
Anya was stunned, "Are you leaving?"
She had thought that Phil would stay for one night this time. After all, he had stayed at least one night before. It would be too tiring for him to leave so quickly.
"Well, the research work has been winding around recently, so I'm very busy." As Phil said this, he got up and was ready to leave. Anya also stood up, ready to go downstairs to see him off.
"It's okay. Enjoy your meal," Phil told her.
"Don't think too much." After that, Phil raised his hand and rubbed the top of Anya's head, leaving.
