Forbidden Passion

Chapter 369 Romantic Bite Marks Until Death

Phoebe was stunned. Was Theodore sending her yellow roses every day to annoy her?

"No thanks, I won't appreciate them," Phoebe said.

Theodore sighed, seeing her disinterest, and quietly continued eating breakfast.

After they finished, Phoebe started clearing the dishes, but Theodore stopped her. "I'll handle it. Just leave them in the kitchen. The housekeeper will wash them later." Phoebe watched as Theodore took the dishes to the kitchen. He soon returned and said, "Let's head to the office."

They left together, but Phoebe felt uneasy in the elevator. After a big argument, this was their first breakfast and office visit together.

How could she describe this feeling?

It was like nothing had happened last night, and everything was back to normal. No, it was even more polite than before.

Phoebe stared at her toes, thinking maybe Theodore was really afraid she'd leave him. After all, not many women were as compliant as she was.

Theodore occasionally glanced at Phoebe. Today, she wore a turtleneck, and the bite mark on her neck was barely visible under the collar.

The deep, blood-stained teeth marks showed how hard he had bitten last night.

In fact, the bite mark on Theodore's neck was even deeper. He had seen it in the mirror that morning. Phoebe had bitten down hard like she wanted to tear off that piece of flesh. But Theodore wasn't mad. Having her mark him made him happy, like wearing a wedding ring-a shared ritual.

Though they didn't have rings, these bite marks would be permanent on their bodies and souls, never fading. This was all he wanted.

They walked to the office in silence. When the elevator reached the 17th floor, they parted ways. Theodore watched Phoebe disappear before reluctantly closing the elevator doors.

As the doors closed, Theodore loosened his tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons of his shirt, revealing the bite mark on his neck like a badge of honor.
