Forbidden Passion

Chapter 165 Trying for a Baby

Vanessa had barely been happy for two days before the news of Phoebe's return to QUEEN Entertainment sent her mood plummeting again. She lay in bed, agitated no matter what she thought about. Now she was living in the Imperial Apartment, but there had been no progress between her and Theodore. This made her very uneasy.

She couldn't just sit around and wait for things to happen; she had to do something. Otherwise, she felt she would go mad.

The next day, Vanessa got up before five in the morning. She went downstairs to buy breakfast and sat in the living room waiting for Theodore to wake up.

Around six o'clock, she heard movement from the bedroom. When she saw Phoebe come out first, her face fell.

"Miss Ziegler, good morning. I've bought breakfast; it's on the dining table."

Phoebe, holding a thermos, headed to the kitchen. She was heating a packet of medicine when she heard Vanessa ask from behind her, "Why are both you and Theodore taking medicine?"

Vanessa knew they were taking medicine ever since she moved in. She had even investigated; the packets were all the same, indistinguishable as to what medicine it was.
