Forbidden Passion

Chapter 328

Chapter 328 You Can Beg Me

Theodore came out after his shower and heard some noise in the walk-in closet. He stepped over and saw Phoebe crouched by the suitcase, organizing her luggage. Leaning against the door frame, drying his hair, he looked at her back. "What are you doing?"

Phoebe's back stiffened slightly, but she didn't stop packing. She said, "I have a business trip and don't know when I'll be back."

"where are you going?" Theodore asked.

Phoebe pressed her lips together, skipping the question. She closed the suitcase and went to the drawer to get her passport and ID, putting them into her bag.

"I won't be home for a few days. You can have Jenna cook for you, or you can come back after eating out," she said.

Theodore's face darkened. It seemed she wasn't planning to tell him that her brother was in trouble. "Where are you going?"

"Starfall City, to see Donovan." Phoebe knew she couldn't avoid it, so she downplayed the situation to keep him from worrying.

She paused, feeling a bit self-mocking. Theodore couldn't possibly care about her.

In his eyes, she was just a bed warmer. She should stop being delusional.

Theodore yanked the towel off and walked towards her with an imposing aura. He looked down at her, his dark eyes unfathomable. "Donovan is fine. Why are you going to see him?" Phoebe avoided his gaze, speaking with difficulty, "He's been gone for over six months. My mom is worried, so she asked me to go check on him."

'Liar!' Theodore gritted his teeth internally, looking at her with a deep, meaningful gaze. "You can just tell me if you need any help."

If she told him, she wouldn't even need to go to Starfall City. He would have someone bring Donovan back safely.
