The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 793

Phoebe pretended to be sick and asked Anya to call her father over, to which Anya succeeded.

Maxwell eventually came, but as soon as he entered the room, he asked her how she was feeling and decided to call an ambulance for her.

In truth, she was faking her sickness, and she would have a hard time explaining to him if the ambulance came and the nurses were unable to detect what her sickness was. As a result, she told him that she was just a little dizzy.

Then, her husband pulled up a chair and sat by the bed to read a book. It was a very thick book, and he seemed to have entered a trance while he read it. She sometimes wondered if her husband's soul had left his body whenever he was reading, because he would rather read a book than look at his charming wife!

Sometime later, she could not stand having to feign her sickness anymore, so she told him that she was feeling better and wanted to get some fresh air outside.

Maxwell still did not show any concern about her.

'Being married to a man like that isn't any different from being a widow!' She felt that it was inappropriate to rant to her daughter about the emptiness she felt as well as the lack of physical touch, so she just shook her head dejectedly and said, "He's reading in the room. Where are you going now, Anya?"

Anya was very annoyed at that moment, too. "Joey is becoming more and more unruly now. He cries as soon as I enter the room, and he only wants to be with his teachers! He makes me so angry that I feel like sending him back to the orphanage!"

Phoebe understood her daughter's frustration and patted her shoulder. "Can't say I'm surprised. Why would an adopted child be close to you? Just leave him be. You can give birth to your baby in the future."

Anya's expression soured after hearing what her mother said, and she quickly looked around her to confirm that no one was around. She quickly pulled Phoebe into the guest room again and said uneasily, "Keep your voice down, Mom! If people find out that I'm not infertile, I won't be able to use that against Jeremy in the future!"
