Anya could understand Phil's feelings as she also missed Phil, but she just couldn't refrain from having a close look at the baby.
Since the baby was still sleeping, she couldn't interact with the baby, so she might as well comfort Phil who was aggrieved.
Thinking about it, she gently pulled her finger from Chris' palm, walked over to throw her arms around his neck, and chuckled, "I miss you, too."
After saying that, she leaned forward and gently kissed his lips.
Tasting the sweetness on her lips, Phil gripped her waist and made out with her in the bedroom. Then, in order not to wake up the baby, Phil carried Anya out of the bedroom to the adjacent guest room.
Anya's breathing got uneven, and she raised her hand to caress Phil's face, which was beaded with sweat from holding back the sexual urge.
"Are you sure you don't want to go on?" She asked.
"No," Phil replied firmly, though he was suffering.
"At least a year later."
"I won't have sex with you until you fully recover."
Phil had said something similar to Anya before, and for this reason, he suppressed his desire to make love to him.
Abigail had said before that Anya's health was severely impaired after C-section. Sex life might cause Anya's unexpected pregnancy even if they used the best birth control. Being pregnant at this time would be a disaster for Anya.
Therefore, Phil would rather not sleep with her than put her in danger.
Anya was moved, but she wanted to make him comfortable, so she buried herself in his arms shyly and whispered, "Let me help you."
The man stiffened for a moment and then tightened his arms around her.
They had a good time in the guest bedroom.
Phil, who had bathed himself and returned, held Anya in his arms and asked, "Why are you back so early? Why don't you spend some time with your mother?"
Anya softly nestled up against him and hummed, "My mother insisted that I come back to keep you company. It seems she likes you the most now."
Anya could sense Lorie was fond of Phil and quite satisfied with him.
When she was with Lorie, Lorie always talked about Phil.
If she hadn't done a video call with Phil as usual, Lorie would urge her to do so, saying that they should cherish each other since they were a newly married couple being apart.
Anya was at a loss for words every time she heard that.
She and Phil had been through so much, so skipping a video call was not a big deal. But Lorie insisted that spending time on a love relationship was very important and advised Anya that she should show more concern for Phil.
Phil nodded hard after hearing Anya's words, "What she said made sense. I should have a special place in your heart even after we have a child. That's what makes a couple."
Anya poked him in the chest, "Why are you even jealous of your baby?"
Phil took hold of her slender fingers and chuckled, "I'm not jealous of her. I just want to tell you that you can rely on me in the future."
Anya argued, "But she's so young, of course, I have to take care of her with soul and heart."
"Your affection for the baby is the affection between families, while your affection for me is the one between men and women. If you show some concern for me, I will not be jealous of her."
Phil expressed his meaning euphemistically, but Anya understood what he meant.
He implied that she didn't give enough attention to him.
She smiled brightly in his arms. "Okay, I see. From now on I will care more about you and pay more attention to you."
"That's the best." Phil was finally satisfied.
