Chapter 1168 How About Me?
Morgan never expected that Lorie would not spare him but sue him for harboring Luna, the criminal.
When he was brought back from abroad by the police, Lorie was waiting for him gracefully in front of the police station.
He was abroad these days but still tried to friend Lorie on WhatsApp. From time to time, he sent her messages, a scenery picture he took, and made small talk with her.
And Lorie occasionally texted back, saying the scenery was beautiful, which made Morgan believe that Lorie forgave him and ceased being angry with him.
As Lorie replied to him a few more times, Morgan began to imagine things.
He imagined that he would return home and then pursue Lorie to be with her again after Luna went to jail.
Now he was unable to make a living himself, and Anya would take care of him if he made up with Lorie.
Also, Anya had gotten back together with Phil. With a capable son-in-law like Phil, he could still live well for the rest of his life.
But what Morgan didn’t realize Lorie just wanted to keep track of his whereabouts by contacting him so that it didn’t take much for the police to arrest him abroad and take him home.
“Lorie, you–” Morgan didn’t realize Lorie’s intention until he saw Lorie at the entrance of the police station.
It turned out that Lorie just wanted to monitor his movements.
Although Lorie sat in a wheelchair and could only look up at Morgan, her powerful vibe was not undiminished.
She looked at Morgan and taunted, “Morgan, what makes you think I’m still attached to you?”
Morgan was embarrassed, as he had never doubted it until now.
“Do you know why I sue you as well? I wanna make you realize your place in my mind and stop you from pestering me in the future.”
Lorie’s harsh words humiliated Morgan and he completely realized Lorie’s disgust with him at the same time.
Harboring a criminal was not a felony, but the punishment was hard for him to bear.
Lorie felt so happy to see Morgan being forced into the police station. She had never been more relieved than now since she woke up.
Lorie could finally live a peaceful life after making sure Luna would be prisoned and shattering Morgan’s wishful thinking.
As for Gracie and Jackson, Lorie learned from Anya that they left Riverside City with a small amount of money.
Morgan called his parents in the hometown to ask them to take Gracie and Jackson in but was rejected.
His parents never admitted Luna, Gracie, and Jackson as their family, and even almost disowned Morgan after he cheated on Lorie.
Morgan called to ask them to take in Gracie and Jackson temporarily, especially Jackson who was still young, but they refused.
They had since long been disappointed with Morgan, so they would not offer any help to him.
After dealing with Luna, Anya wanted to stay in Riverside City to keep Lorie company but was urged by Lorie to hurry back to Ustistan.
She was going to stay until school started, but Lorie didn’t agree, “I’m fine. I don’t need you to stay with me. You should be with Chris and Phil.”
“I only return home several times a year, and this time the main reason that I come back is to keep you company,” Anya said straightforwardly.
When she went back to Ustistan, she could not come to visit Lorie whenever she missed Lorie. It took her much to make up her mind to leave Chris abroad and return home. Maybe next time it would be harder for her to make up her mind.
Lorie comforted her, “It doesn’t matter. You can come back when you finish your studies abroad. By then, we can see each other every day, right?”
“Listen to me. Just go back.”
Urged by Lorie, Anya had to return to Ustistan ahead of her schedule.
But she did not tell Phil in advance, thinking to give him a surprise.
When she rang the doorbell of Phil’s apartment with her luggage, Phil came out and opened the door and was shocked to see it was her.
“Any, is that you?”Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Phil’s hand gently caressed her face.
Anya happily jumped into his arms, “It’s me. I came back early to surprise you.”
Phil was indeed jubilant and joyfully picked Anya up, yet he was just about to tighten his arms when Anya in his arms suddenly darted and pushed him aside.
“Please help me get my luggage in the door, I’ll go check on Chris first.”
Anya said and darted into the bedroom.
Left in the hallway, Phil stretched his hands helplessly and brought her luggage in.
He could understand her eagerness to see the baby, but she should at least give him some attention, shouldn’t she? No wonder Julian and his other buddies always complained that they were all neglected after having a baby, and the babies were the priority in the eyes of their wives.
Now he was treated in the same way.
Anya ran to the bedroom door and slowed down, gently pushing it open, Chris was sleeping and Anya’s eyes got red when she saw Chris’ small face.
She really missed Chris.
If she could, she would never want to be separated from the baby again. She vowed to finish her studies as soon as possible and then take the baby back to Chiobar to reunite with Lorie. She would stay long in the country so that she no longer had to be separated from Lorie and her good friends.
These days, Anya felt that the baby had grown up a lot and looked better than before she left.
In order not to disturb the baby’s sleep, she just rested her arms on the rail of the crib, stretched out a finger, and gently placed it on Chris’ tiny palm, letting Chris hold her finger.
“She just went to sleep, so she will stay asleep for a while. Do you want to take a bath and rest first?”
When she paid all the attention to the baby, Phil felt sad to see her tired look from a long trip.
Anya’s eyes were fixed on the baby, “No, I’m not tired. I can’t get enough of looking at her.”
Seeing that she had no intention of looking at him, Phil hummed, “You just wanna have a good look at the baby? How about me? I’m your dear husband now.”
Being reminded, Anya finally looked up at him.
Somehow, Anya felt that he was blaming her for ignoring him in an injured tone.
Anya was amused by this childish man. Was he seriously jealous of their daughter who was just a baby?
