Forbidden Passion

Chapter 321 Do Not Test My Patience

Phoebe gritted her teeth as she stared at the photo of the man eating spaghetti, recalling what Cindy had just told her. She let out a cold laugh and blocked Vanessa on WhatsApp. She slipped her phone into her bag, glanced up at the apartment building under the night sky, and then turned to leave.

She took a cab to the Golden Apartment and sent John a WhatsApp message: [Forget what I said earlier. I am drunk and talking nonsense. No need to send anyone to Vanessa's apartment.] She thought to herself, 'Exposing Theodore will only embarrass myself, so it isn't necessary.'

When Phoebe arrived at the Golden Apartment, Evelyn was worried. When Phoebe returned, Evelyn peered behind her. Seeing no one, she asked, "Why are you here alone so late?"

Phoebe pretended not to notice that her mother was looking for Theodore. She said, "I was just having dinner nearby. I didn't want to return since it was too late. So I had someone drop me off here." "That's not acceptable. You're married now. No reason to stay away from the Reynolds household at night," Evelyn said.

Phoebe changed into slippers at the door and walked in. She sat on the sofa, grabbed a throw pillow, and hugged it. "I'm already here. Are you going to send me back?"

"I'll call Theodore," Evelyn said, reaching for the phone on the table.

Phoebe quickly grabbed the phone first, glaring at Evelyn with displeasure. "I'm just staying for one night. He won't mind."

Evelyn looked down at her. "Phoebe, it's not a good habit for married couples to stay out all night. Staying here one night and then again gives the heart restlessness."

"Mom, can you stop nagging?" Phoebe had enough of Evelyn. Every time she came, Evelyn would nag endlessly.

Exasperated, Evelyn poked Phoebe's forehead with her finger. "If you don't want me to nag, stop being ridiculous. Tell me, Madison said you were with Edward the night before your miscarriage. Is that true?" "It's true." Phoebe admitted without intending to hide it from Evelyn.

No sooner had Phoebe admitted it than Evelyn rushed over, snatched the pillow from her arms, and started hitting her with it. Although it didn't hurt, Phoebe felt it was insulting. Phoebe dodged and shouted, "Mom, what are you doing?"
