Forbidden Passion

Chapter 375 Buying a Diamond Ring for Vanessa

Phoebe sat in the passenger seat, watching the car leave the underground parking lot, her mind racing. She turned to stare out the window, lost in thought. Lately, Theodore had been more affectionate, and she couldn't figure out what he wanted.

Just a moment ago, he bought Vanessa a three-million-dollar diamond ring, then pinned Phoebe against the seat and kissed her. What a jerk.

She really wanted to ask Theodore what his deal was.

However, she was scared of embarrassing herself.

For the past three years, trying to understand his feelings only left her feeling more humiliated.

The car pulled into the Golden Apartment and parked in the underground garage.

Phoebe gathered her thoughts, got out, and grabbed her bag and a fruit basket from the back seat. As she walked to the front, Theodore took the items from her.

He walked ahead, and Phoebe watched his back, imagining they were newlyweds coming home.

When the elevator reached the first floor, a neighbor got in. Recognizing Phoebe, the neighbor said, "Ms. Ziegler, visiting your mom? Is this your husband? He's quite handsome!" Theodore rarely came to the Golden Apartment, so the neighbors hadn't seen him before.

Neighbor Ashley Moore chatted with Phoebe while eyeing Theodore. Seeing his cool demeanor, Ashley was envious.

Phoebe's husband was either rich or powerful, while her own daughter had married a mechanic. It drove her mad with jealousy!
