There He Is Again My Ex Husband by Emily Jenkins

After leaving his company, Phil found himself having nowhere to go.
He was not in Riverside City where he could go to Julian’s or Ezra’s companies whenever he was in a bad mood. He would be
happier by just sitting in their offices when his friends were busy working.
But he had no friends here. He did not want to go back to his empty home either. After driving around for a while, he chose to go
to Anya’s house.
Anya went to school and was not at home. But he could find some comfort here. Especially when he threw himself on her sofa
and leaned on her pillow, he slowly calmed down.
After sitting for a while, he felt the surrounding area was too quiet to stand. He simply turned on the TV and lay on the sofa.
If not for the hint of blood ties, he would have broken off the relationships with Trevon and Cara, and even have announced the
news in the newspaper so that everyone would know it.
Julian and the other two friends had told him not to be so hardhearted.
But Phil could not understand why his parents would be so cold, especially his mother Cara. His friends were all loved by their
mothers.
Even if Heather did not have a deep relationship with Julian, she cared and was very concerned about her son.
Ezra too. Although he never had his father’s company, Nancy loved him gently. Arthur was the happiest and luckiest son among
the Riverside Kings. His parents loved each other and cherished him.
But Phil alone was not cared for by his father nor loved by his mother.
Luckily, the old Mrs. Henderson had been keeping him company. It was because of Grandma’s unconditional love that Phil hated
that cold couple even more.
Anya came back from school. When she opened the door, she saw the man lying on the sofa in the living room. She was
annoyed a bit. Did he take this place as his own home?
She gave him the key just to make it easier for him to come and cook. He could not just come in whenever he wanted!
He was really thick-skinned. The owner of the house was back and he was still lying there without moving.

Did he fall asleep?
Why could he sleep here in broad daylight? Didn’t he need to work?
How could he just skip work like this?
Didn’t he just move here and open a branch? Why could he be so idle?
Anya learned from Maisie that Phil had opened a branch after he moved to Ustistan. Maisie said that he was very busy and had
been handling the branch business all these days. If it was not for all these chores, he would have gone to her place long ago,
instead of showing up in a hurry until she was angry with Gracie’s phone call that day.
Anya put down her things and walked over. She stood aside angrily and said to the man on the sofa, “Why do you come to my
house instead of going to work by day?"
Anya’s impression of Phil was that he was ambitious. It was said that when the Kings started their business, they worked very
hard, or they would not have attained today’s achievements.
During the years when she was Phil’s girlfriend and wife, he worked quite hard and only made time for her business. Except for
her, nothing was as important as his business.
But today, in broad daylight, he was lying on her sofa and sleeping.
The TV was on and playing an unknown series. Anya did not think Phil would like to watch the corny show. When she watched it
before, he always complained in disgust, saying that the love in the TV shows was a lie, and what she had in reality was the
most real one.
She ignored his words and simply immersed herself in binge-watching and even got obssessed with some idols.
As Anya’s voice said, the man on the sofa slowly opened his eyes. The next second he stared at Anya and said sadly, “Anya,
you have chosen a GOOD country to study.”
Anya was confused. “What do you mean?”
Anya knew Phil’s parents were abroad all year long. But she did not know they were in Ustistan. She had only met Trevon and
Cara once during her four-year marriage with Phil and the meeting was not a happy one.

Also, Phil never talked about his parents and she had no interest in knowing them as well. Plus, they did not hold a wedding
ceremony. There was no way to get to know his parents at all.
Despite her little knowledge about Trevon and Cara, Anya could feel that Phil had had an extremely bad relationship with his
parents over the past four years. It seemed like it was because his parents did not treat his granny well.
Anya did not know any other details. At that time, she did not want to live with Phil for life, so she never talked about these
intimate topics.
The only thing she felt then was that his poor relationship with his parents was a relief for her. At least she did not have to face
his parents all day long or get caught up in the difficult relationship with her mother-in-law.
And his parents disliked her. Their only meeting was because his parents heard about Phil’s marriage and went back home to
have a big quarrel.
At first glance, Anya was aware that Phil’s mother was a very bossy and capable woman. People like her had the worldliest
arrogance. When she had just returned home from school, Anya saw Phil confronting a middle-aged couple in the living room.
As soon as Anya entered the door, the woman pointed at Anya’s nose and complained to Phil, “What can she do for your life and
your career, if you marry such a young girl who has nothing?
“Aren’t you just fond of her young and pretty look? There are plenty of young girls from better families. Why do you have to marry
her?
“You can just play around with her. Why marry her!”
Generally, such words for a girl were awful, hurtful, and humiliating, especially words like “PLAY AROUND”.
But it was strange that Anya did not feel angry or humiliated. Anya just found that the woman was ridiculous, as she was bossing
Phil around.
Perhaps it was because she did not want to maintain the marriage with Phil at all then. She expected the middle-aged couple to
destroy their marriage.
From the looks of the couple, Anya guessed that they were Phil’s parents. But why did that woman... did not know Phil’s poor
temper?

Phil could not stand others’ slightest criticism. It would drive him mad.
As she expected, Phil shrieked furiously, “Fuck off!”
Perhaps, the words “fuck off” were so hurtful that the woman froze at where she stood in total astonishment. The middle-aged
man, instead, was trembling with agitation and said, “Fuck off? This is your attitude towards your parents?”
“If I didn’t take you as my parents, you wouldn’t even be able to enter this house.”
Then, Phil strode towards Anya and held her close to his chest, declaring to the couple word by word, “I marry her because I love
her and I want to live with her for life. I am not playing around.
“Also, it is my last time to say, that you are not qualified to express any of your opinions on my marriage! Because you have
never done your duty as my parents!”
