Forbidden Passion

Chapter 387 Stepping Down from the Altar

The two exchanged a quick glance and then looked away. Theodore cleared his throat and drove out of the parking lot.

It was blazing at noon, lighting up the asphalt.

Madison sat in the back, chatting on WhatsApp.

Madison: [Vanessa, it looks like Theodore and Phoebe are back together. How shameless is she? Theodore clearly doesn't like her, but she still clings to him. So cheap!] Vanessa lay in the hospital, her leg still in a cast, making it hard to move.

She was so bored these past few days that she felt like she was going moldy. Seeing Madison's message made her feel even worse.

Vanessa replied: [They're married. It's hard to break them up. Besides, I never wanted to break them up. I like Theodore.]

Seeing Vanessa's self-sacrificing words, Madison felt even more sympathy for her.

Madison: [Vanessa, don't worry. I'm here. I won't let them get back together.]

Vanessa sent several crying emojis, and the more Madison looked at them, the more she pitied Vanessa.

Madison put her phone away, leaned forward, and said, "Theodore, I'm going to play some music."

Theodore replied, "Okay."

Madison turned on the car's computer and played an instrumental piece. It was the song Vanessa had played at a piano competition, which had made her famous.
