Lorie didn't stay for dinner, because Dr. Choffard said she'd better not stay out for a long time and asked her to go back to the hospital early for her health.
Anya reluctantly sent Lorie into the car. Lorie teased her while smiling, "Go to accompany your fiancé. We have plenty of time when he leaves."
"Mom! Don't make fun of me!" Anya was embarrassed, especially when hearing the word "fiancé", which made her blush.
She didn't know why she felt uncomfortable when she heard the word "fiancé" though they got married once.
Lorie stopped laughing at her and waved goodbye to them before she rolled up the car window and left.
Anya, who leaned on Phil's chest, turned around, intending to ask him to go back to the hall with him, but Phil said to her with affection in his eyes, "Anya, do you dare get a marriage certificate with me again?"
In fact, Anya was forced the first time they did it. Even so, Phil quite admired her courage at that time.
Although they had confirmed their love for each other and she had said yes to his proposal, they hadn't discussed the specific date of getting marriage certificates. Phil felt shocked when he blurted out this question, and he wasn't sure if she dared to
Perhaps after those four years of marriage, she may not be willing to marry him again.
Anya was surprised by Phil's words. Then her eyes suddenly lit up. She smiled and looked at him, "I dared do it four years ago. Why not now?"
Phil chuckled. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "Let's do it before I leave tomorrow morning?"
He proposed this, thinking that he couldn't stay any longer since he had to go back to Ustistan to take care of their daughter.
"Sure." Anya cracked a smile.
It was a sincere smile that showed her inner happiness, which was what Phil had always wanted to see.
It was a smile out of the joy of being with him and it only belonged to him.
He didn't say anything but intimately held her soft hands. Their fingers were entwined silently.
It was enough for him to have her in his life.
Everyone was happy at the evening party. Phil and Anya had patched things up with each other, which meant that they all have found their true love. So of course, they would be happy.
Ezra was annoyed by Phil because his wife, Maisie, was not around him, so he kept pouring wine into Phil's glass.
Finally, it was Anya that helped Phil to drink the wine. She looked at Ezra in distress, "Mr. Cantillo, stop making him drink. He has to catch a plane early tomorrow morning."
Anya was familiar with the hell of a hangover. She drank for Phil because she was worried that Phil had to travel a long way back to Ustistan with a hangover.
Strictly speaking, this was the first time that Anya defended Phil in front of them.
Anya usually showed her dislike for Phil when they had parties in the past. She even ignored him when others poured wine into his glass.
This time, Ezra finally got the chance to tease Anya when she defended Phil.
"Wow, it's so rare to hear that."
Ezra tried his best to stretch out his glass to clink it with Phil's, "Lawyer Henderson, you can't avoid it. This scene is exactly what you dreamed of, isn't it? Don't you drink some wine to celebrate it?"
After being friends with Phil for so long, all of them knew Phil's thoughts.
He desperately wished Anya to fall in love with him and care more about him. Now Phil's dream had come true, so shouldn't he drink some wine to celebrate it?
Unexpectedly, Phil shook his head and refused, "No."
