FULL NOVELXO Chapter 48 Don't Thank Me
His expression and tone were extremely like the young proud boy who kept helping her when she was a little girl.
Phillip had his back to the balcony. Outside the window was the golden sunset.
She could not see his face clearly against the light.
Looking at him, she seemed to feel that her heart had suddenly lost control and was beating widely.
Phillip reached out to caress her injured cheek before he left...
Ann was tossing and turning all night, his affectionate eyes flashing through her mind.
Sometimes, Phillip's words and actions resembled the little boy.
However, if he was the little boy, why did he hide it from her?
In her mind, the figures of Phillip and the little boy were constantly overlapping and separating, making her feel upset.
Whether Phillip was the little boy or not...
They were destined to be different.
Phillip was a man who could easily tempt a woman, but he was not suitable for her.
She was certain that she won't fall in love with Phillip, but she was inevitably affected by his words.
Ann felt a little disgusted with herself. She shook her head to completely erase Phillip from her mind.
After settling with Karl, she had to think about her future life.
The Moore's Old House
After a shower, Phillip wore only a loose bathrobe with water droplets on his undried hair.
A laptop on the table showed an email that Aydan had just sent.
His eyes became full of thought and coldness when he read the email.
Suddenly, Todd called.
"Phillip, I just saw your message. How did Karl offend you? Why don't you just fire him and let him go!"
Phillip's thin lips curved coldly, "He touched my woman. How could I let him go so easily?"
It was only a matter of time before he was fired, but before that, he must make him suffer!
On the next day.
When Ann was about to send Nikki to the nursery, she received a call from Karl.
"Ann, you are so ruthless. You were wrong from the beginning, yet you even instigated Phillip to take revenge. Why didn't I find out that you were such a woman before?" She stopped and tightened her grip on Nikki's hand.
Recalling what Phillip had said yesterday, she couldn't help but become slightly absent-minded.
"Say something, vicious woman."
Karl's yell brought her back. She was too tired to argue and hung up the phone.
There was no need to say anything about the determined result.
Downstairs, facing the stairs, Phillip's Rolls-Royce phantom had been waiting for a long time.
The man's deep gaze fell on her.
Ann pursed her lips and walked forward.
"Mr. Phillip, we are just superior and subordinate. I don't want you to interfere in the matter between Karl and me!" Ann said seriously.
Phillip raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not intend to tell Ann about it. Now he didn't deny it as well.
"I said I would avenge you."
As he said this, his black pupils stared at Ann, seeming to observe her reaction.
After a moment of silence, Ann sighed, "You annoyed and tired me. I can't accept your kindness."
Phillip narrowed his eyes slightly, his gaze getting somewhat fierce.
"Are you feeling sorry for him?"
Ann shook her head, and her face was filled with sorrow, disappointment, and melancholy.
In the end, they all turned into helplessness...
Although she was grateful to Karl for his company and care over the years, she was not innocent and unsophisticated.
She thought that she had been working hard for their relationship all these years, and until yesterday, they did not owe each other anymore.
"Mr. Phillip, I have made a clean break with him. But I have nothing to do with you either. You don't need to do anything for me."
Phillip suddenly approached, "Since you're single, I have the right to pursue you. It's the right thing to help you kick his ass, so there's no need to thank me."¶¶¶¶¶¶
