Chapter 378 You'd Rather Take a Cold Shower Than Let Me Touch You?

Theodore stood outside, knocking a few more times, but Phoebe didn't answer.

He frowned. "Phoebe."

Then he heard water running, and it felt like ice on his heart.

Theodore's hand dropped.

Phoebe would rather take a cold shower than be with him. That was a painful realization.

Phoebe stood under the freezing water. It was November, and the cold was biting. Her teeth chattered, and the heat inside her body spread out. She bit her lip in discomfort.

After about half an hour, she was numb from the cold. She turned off the water and sneezed several times.

Drenched, she took a moment to gather her strength, grabbed a towel, and dried off.

Her pajamas were drenched, so she wrapped herself in a towel and stepped out.

Phoebe coughed as she opened the door and smelled smoke. The room was filled with it, and she had no idea how many cigarettes Theodore had smoked. Covering her mouth and nose, she said, "You're smoking too much. Don't you care about your lungs?"

The next second, Theodore yanked her over, slamming her back against the wall. She groaned in pain. "What are you doing?"

With a cigarette still in his mouth, Theodore looked sinister. He stared at her. "Phoebe, I could strangle you!"

Dizzy from the cold shower, Phoebe smiled and lifted her head, exposing her neck. "Go ahead. At least then I'll be free."

"You!" Theodore looked at her slender neck, knowing how easy it would be to end it all.

He sneered. "You'd rather take a cold shower than let me touch you. Do you really think I can't live without you?"
