Seriously, How Did He Win My Heart
Chapter 1011: Wanna Keep the Baby

After calming herself down, Maisie asked Anya in a soft voice, "You want to keep this baby, don't you?"

If Anya didn't want the baby, she should have gone to the hospital and aborted the child long before. She had no need to agonize over this, let alone confide in Maisie.

Otherwise, she would probably allow them to know after she did it.

Another reason why Maisie was sure Anya did want to keep the child was that Anya didn't choose to talk with Emilia or somebody else but her. It was probably because Maisie had once given birth to Ezra's child without his knowledge, thus Anya could ask her for help.

Anya was surprised in the phone, "How do you know that...?"

Maisie chuckled and said to her reassuringly, "If you don't, you won't act like this."

Anya gave a mighty sigh, "You're right, but I'm afraid that I cannot take good care of the baby by myself. And if Phil gets wind of it, that will be a big trouble."

Phil would definitely take Anya back if he knew about it--unless he had given her up. However, he would be bound to fight her for custody because he wanted a child so badly after all. Considering of this, Anya was overwhelmed by sorrow

"Don't worry. Things will eventually sort themselves out. If you decide to have the child, then you should face it positively." Maisie comforted Anya with such words.

Soon afterwards, she asked Anya, "Can you tell me why you wanna keep the child?"

"You are young and your future is full of potential. You can marry a good guy and have children anew. This baby is not good for your future."

"For myself, I thought I was not young. And I was hurt by Ezra so much that I didn't want to be into another relationship. So that was why I kept my child."

"But to Phil, you..."

Maisie felt a bit embarrassed so that she didn't go on speaking, but Anya understood. Maisie meant that Anya didn't love Phil as much as she loved Ezra; she had no need to bear Phil's child.

"I just..." Anya murmured, "I just don't want to hurt such a little life inside me, and I like children."

Then she said with mockery. "Actually, I don't want to go steady or get married with anybody. Wise people never fall in love, uh-huh? It's good to be single, isn't it?"

As Anya uttered these words, she was in a buoyant mood.

She didn't say it with forced lightness. Actually, she had lost her interest in love; and she wanted to have a baby while she was still young in case she would live a lonely life.

Anyway, the father of this baby was so excellent and she might give birth to another elite.

Being silent for a moment, Maisie added, "If you have made the decision, I will support you. But at the same time, you should be prepared for that it will come to Phil's knowledge someday." Due to the level-headed advice from Maisie, Anya calmed down gradually.

When Anya was silent in the phone, Maisie said, "Think twice about the baby. Then we'll talk about whatever follows."

Anya asked, "If I decide to keep the child, will you help me to keep this from Phil? As long as possible?"

"Absolutely," answered Maisie without hesitation.

Anya said apologetically, "But it means you need to keep it from your husband as well. They are so fraternal that they will tell him at once if they know about it. I'm afraid that it will affect your relationship..." A couple should be of one mind, shouldn't they? If Maisie and other women helped Anya, it meant they hold out on their husbands. What if the men blamed them for it?

Maisie knew what she was worried about it and said, "Although we should be at one mind, we don't have to tell each other everything. If we want to make our family better, we naturally work with one heart and one mind."

"Rest assured. We just help our friend separately. It cannot affect our relationship."

"Thanks..." Anya got a little choked up, "I totally have no idea about this, thus I turn to you. Besides my mom, you are the people whom I can trust in completely."

So far, Anya's mother had showed no sign of waking. She couldn't tell her mom about what happened to her and get suggestions from her mom. She could only confide in Maisie and others.

Before Anya phoned Maisie, she was at war with herself because she really worried that her affair would affect the relationship between Maisie and Ezra.

"I know how you feel, honey. I've been there. Don't worry. I will help you as best I can." Maisie had great empathy with Anya, thus she felt bad for her.

Anya was so young that she could hardly take good care of herself, let alone bear a child and look after the child on her own while study in school...

Thinking of it, Maisie said to Anya, "I suggest you to replace a domestic who can cook for you in order to ensure nutrition for you and the baby inside you. I know you have been learning to cook and you can take care of yourself good, but you'd better eat nourishing food during your pregnancy."

During Maisie's pregnancy, she didn't do it because she was good at cooking. But she found Daisy in advance to specially care for her son after she gave birth.

But Anya's cooking seemed...

Anya accepted Maisie's suggestions earnestly and said, "Thank you. I will try it later. Here are a lot of nannies who can cook tasty food."

Maisie added, "Well, if you have financial--"

But Anya stopped her, "It's OK. I have sold my house and company to Phi. I got enough money. And now, I don't need to pay the medical fee for my mom."

Maisie also learnt from Ezra that Phil had paid the hospital and rehabilitation costs for Anya's mom for the years to come. She thought Phil did a right thing because it was he who indirectly led to the car accident. He should be responsible for this.

And in a way, what he did prevented Anya from economic problems. Anya's mother, who was in a coma would spend a hefty amount of money because no one would when she would wake up. Even though Anya held the money by selling her house and company, she would soon run out of it.

Then, the life would be so harsh for a girl who needed to live and study abroad while continued to earn her mother's medical fee.
