Forbidden Passion

Chapter 323 She Was His First Love

Noah's feelings for Phoebe hadn't arisen recently, and Phoebe might have forgotten he was her student.

During his middle school years, Noah's grades were particularly poor. He never studied and hung out with a group of bad students in his class. Eventually, his parents hired a tutor for him.

It was said that the tutor was a sophomore, attended the University of Kedora, and excelled academically and morally. The first time Phoebe came to tutor Noah, he stood her up, playing games with his classmates in an internet café until two or three in the morning before going home.

When Noah arrived home, he saw Phoebe squatting by the door. She was dressed in a plain white T-shirt and jeans. She must have been exhausted since she slept with her head on her knees. Without thought, he opened the door and went inside. The next morning, when he went out, he saw her still leaning against the wall, asleep and not having left.

He had wanted to kick her, but then he got closer and saw her face. When sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on her face, her skin was fair and translucent, with tiny hairs that seemed to glisten. In that instant, his heart began to race wildly. He suddenly understood-this was love at first sight.

The sunlight awakened Phoebe. She opened her eyes and saw him standing in front of her. She was startled at first but quickly stood up from the ground. He saw her awkwardly wipe the corner of her mouth, and he chuckled inwardly, thinking, 'She is quite cute.'

Then he heard Phoebe say, "Are you Oscar Foster? I've seen your photo. I'm your tutor. Nice to meet you."

At that time, his parents had not yet divorced, and he had not taken his mother's surname. Their encounter was that simple. Afterward, his parents divorced, and he left Kedora with his mother, moving through several cities before returning. Noah Myersould never forget her. Until they met again at QUEEN Entertainment, he felt that God must have heard his prayers. 'Never forget, there will always be an echo!' he thought.

Phoebe believed her greatest strength was her resilience and persistence. She didn't stay gloomy for long. She sprang up from the ground, rubbed her cheeks vigorously, and forced herself to perk up.
