Forbidden Passion

Chapter 184 Vanessa is Just a Friend of Mine

Vanessa pursed her lips, "Yes."

"Then let me ask you, if your home is in Kedora, why don't you go back and live there instead of moving into someone else's home?" Mrs. Ziegler demanded aggressively. Vanessa's face turned pale. She looked helplessly at Theodore, who had been silent all this time. "Theodore, I..."

"Mom, it was me who asked her to move in," Theodore interjected, stepping forward and positioning himself in front of Vanessa, creating a human barrier between her and Mrs. Ziegler.

Phoebe watched the scene unfold as her brows knitted together. She knew Theodore was going to protect Vanessa. Her heart gave itself a self-deprecating twist, and she forced a smile onto her face, the bitterness of the situation leaving an indescribable taste in her mouth.

"Officer, can I take my mom and leave now?" Phoebe asked.

The police officer had been watching this drama from the side. He had pieced together the relationships between the people in the room. Seeing Phoebe's husband defending another woman in front of her, a woman who was allegedly his first love, stirred a strange sympathy within him.

He said, "If you're willing to settle this privately, you can leave after signing."
