Forbidden Passion

Chapter320 Revenge Must Be Timely

Phoebe buried her head in her food, not noticing Noah's unusual behavior. After she filled her stomach, her drained energy began to recover significantly.

The others had long since put down their utensils. Phoebe wiped her mouth with a napkin, removing the lipstick she had just reapplied.

Cindy noticed her chapped lips and immediately knew what she had been up to during her hour-long absence. 'No wonder she was eating so much, she must have been starving!! Cindy glanced sympathetically at Noah and thought, 'Noah, as long as Theodore is around, you don't stand a chance.'

"Has everyone finished eating?" Phoebe put down her napkin and glanced around at the group. The chef had already stopped preparing dishes, but Phoebe still asked. Everyone expressed that they were stuffed and could barely move.

Phoebe got up to pay the bill. Tonight, they had ordered top-grade Japanese cuisine and drank several bottles of sake and wine, costing nearly thirty thousand dollars.

Phoebe used the secondary card Theodore had given her to settle the bill. After paying, the waiter gave her a small Culinary Haven doll, which was said to be a limited edition collaboration with a certain blue-blood brand, priceless and rare. The doll was both ugly and cute. As soon as she took it, Noah's voice sounded beside her. "Phoebe, can I have that doll?"

"Here you go." Phoebe handed it to him without thought.

Noah finally showed his first smile of the night, revealing his teeth in a rather adorable way. Phoebe said, "You haven't said much tonight. Are you feeling upset?"

The concert tonight was quite successful, and the other members were all very happy. Only Noah seemed down and had been silent.

Noah's gaze paused for a moment at the corner of her skin-broken mouth and immediately slid away. He mumbled, "No."

"Are you feeling guilty because your fans attacked me?" Phoebe guessed.

Noah looked down at his shoes, his heart full of unexpressed affection.

He blushed in aggravation and shook his head straight in depression.
