Forbidden Passion

Chapter 377 Don't You Have a Man?

Phoebe tensed up on the bed as her first awkward moment hit out of nowhere. Watching Theodore laugh so hard he almost rolled off the bed, she gritted her teeth. "Again!" She couldn't believe her luck was this bad. She used to be good at Minesweeper. Must be Theodore's influence.

Theodore sat up, trying to stop laughing. He leaned against the headboard and watched her start another game.

Phoebe eyed the grid. After her last try, she played it safe and tapped a square cautiously.

Boom, fireworks on the screen again, and a game-over message popped up. Phoebe was stunned.

Theodore laughed even harder beside her.

Phoebe gave up. She tossed her phone aside, pulled the blanket over herself, and said, "I'm done. This isn't fun."

She had wanted to show off, but after hitting mine twice, she was too embarrassed to teach him.

Theodore finally stopped laughing. He picked up his phone and played a few more times, hitting mine every time, which cracked him up.

Theodore said, "Minesweeper's supposed to relieve stress. If you overthink it, it ruins the fun."

Phoebe shot back, "Nonsense!"

But she kind of agreed. Nowadays, there are so many mobile games that people get obsessed with.

People forget that games are meant to entertain and relax.

Theodore glanced at Phoebe, and his phone chimed with a message. He frowned and opened WhatsApp.

Vanessa had sent him a bunch of messages over the past few days, starting with apologies and then playing the victim, saying she was in pain.

Theodore ignored them and tossed his phone aside.
