Chapter 1028 A drinking binge
Phil sat on the sofa not moving at all since the three of Maisie left the office of Dr. Choffard.
They let him to decide; he was confused.
He was like trying to the conquering the God now; others couldn't imagine how much he wanted to have a baby with Anya.
Phil couldn't imagine even before Anya asking for a divorce how things might be if he allowed her to study abroad, considering
she was young and beautiful -- she would be like a fairy hit on by others at abroad.
Not to mention her shallow love to him. Phil supposed she might divorce him not long after she went abroad and be flirted by
others.
It was unbearable that he had to part with her for years. He couldn't go see her travelling abroad every day and he also couldn't
count on her to come back.
And his way to keep Anya around him was to get her pregnant, in which way she couldn't leave him and study abroad.
He could visit her anywhere as long as she studied for her master's degree at home. He could even work like this, going to and
fro Riverside City as long as he could keep her company in his way.
He didn't expect, however, they should end up getting divorced like that, that she really got pregnant and that she planned to
give birth to their baby...
Everyone else thought he wanted a child because of his age, which was also the excuse he used to make Anya expect a baby,
and now every bought it.
Actually, all he wanted was for Anya to keep him company, but now he had to let her leave even if she was pregnant.
Now, his woman left her and he had to pretend he didn't know about their baby.
Is there anyone more miserable than him?
He made his decision and called Dr. Choffard, telling him to make other doctors and nurses keep mum about Anya's pregnancy.
Dr. Choffard took the order. Phil got his car key and left the hospital without staying a little longer.
He needed to stop visiting Anya since he had decided to pretend not to know, let alone staying at the hospital in case Anya saw
him there.
Joy began to fill him as he left the hospital, driving on the road in the gleaming lights.
His woman got pregnant and he would be a father.
What thrilled him was less that he was going to be a father than that the child belonged to him and the woman he loved.
He didn't know how others might feel for things like this, but he just couldn't help smiling and laughing out.
He then pulled the car off when he kept laughing, contacting endlessly Julian, Ezra and Arthur in their Wechat group and asking
them out for a drink.
He didn't mention about Anya's pregnancy at first, just asking them to drink.
"I'm busy! Emelia went visit Anya at the hospital while I had to take care of two of my children. Should my wife and I center on
you and your wife?" Julian replied angrily.
"Oh, my Phil. Haven't I drunk enough with you tonight? Ezra was more angry than Julian because he was still suffering at a hotel
in a city of Esnait after Phil drank him down and speeding back to Riverside City to confront Anya.
"Phil! Are you out of your mind? Do you remember where I am?" Ezra pitched into him again.
"Phil, I think you indeed out of your mind because I live in Zoshalor now." Arthur replied pretty calmly.
Arthur was actually implying he couldn't go to Riverside City to drink with him late at night because of the long distance, let alone
Jean was also pregnant.
"Anya is pregnant; I am the father." Phil sent another message, not considering their protest at all.
They were then shocked to silence for a while.
"Are you sure you are the father?" Ezra doubted long after.
Phil would tell him to fuck off if Ezra asked like that in the old days.
But now he couldn't be more patient. "She was examined and the result shows she's been pregnant for two months, so no one
else could be the father but me." He explained nicely.
"Though she was at home two months ago, you were already divorced!" Ezra sent a voice message angrily.
What they didn't know was that Phil came to Anya before she went to Ustistan.
"We shared a same room the night before her leaving." Phil replied shamelessly.
They then came to know what really happened. The truth was he tried to get Anya pregnant for months, but it only worked out
when they got divorced.
Silence filled their chatting group again. "Who's in now?" Phil said again.
Julian rolled his eyes, realizing he was the only one that had to drink with him since Arthur and Ezra were not at Riverside City.
Julian was not in the mood to drink with him, but now he began to know why Phil asked for a drink so excitedly.
They all knew how badly he wanted a child. Now it came true although he was divorced; it didn't hurt his excitement at all, so
Julian said yes.
Although their family had taken priority over their friendship to some extent after their marriage, they never sat by when any
member of them were in trouble, such as Anya's pregnancy which could be the exception because it meant a lot to Phil. Since
Julian was in Riverside City, he would definitely go celebrate with Phil.
It happened that Emelia returned home since he heard the voice from the car. He could be assured with her taking care of their
children; it was just she couldn't have a rest for now.
"It must be hard for him too. Go comfort him." Emelia listened to Julian and nodded to support his decision.
Emelia also told Julian their plan with Phil, which also was supported by Julian because he thought that was the only for Anya to
safely spend the month.
As for what Phil might do, even out his mind, they had no right to interfere.
