Forbidden Passion

Chapter 376 Having a Baby

Phoebe's room was the biggest, complete with its own bathroom. Evelyn had set it aside for her during renovations, thinking it would be handy if Theodore ever stayed over. Lately, Theodore hardly visited the Ziegler family and never stayed in Phoebe's room.

The room had a girly vibe-pink wardrobes, cream walls, and a grand canopy bed, giving off a youthful charm.

It was Theodore's first time in Phoebe's room, and the overwhelming pink made him pause. He turned to Phoebe and asked, "Do you like this style?"

The Imperial Apartment had a minimalist, cold look. It was luxurious but felt lifeless.

Phoebe, looking annoyed, said, "My mom likes it."

Theodore looked skeptical. Phoebe hung her coat on a stand and remarked, "It's getting late. I'm going to freshen up. Feel free to make yourself comfortable." Theodore, holding his coat, reached out and pulled her back. "Don't rush. Let's freshen up together later."

Phoebe glared at him. "Donovan is right next door. Don't mess around."

Theodore wrapped his arm around her waist, his breath hot on her face. He smiled. "We'll be quiet. He won't hear us."

Phoebe was speechless.

She struggled in his arms, causing Theodore's coat to fall and get stepped on. Eventually, they both collapsed onto the bed.

Theodore propped himself up on his hands, not putting his full weight on her, but the position was too intimate like any movement could spark desire. Phoebe froze, not daring to move. She glared at Theodore and whispered, "Get off me. You're making me uncomfortable."

Theodore looked down at her, taking in her flushed cheeks and nervous eyes.
