Forbidden Passion

Chapter 395 Running Away from Home Together

Phoebe stared at the diamond ring in the photo, a teardrop shape like a tiny crown. She knew it wasn't meant for her, but seeing it on Vanessa's hand still hurt.

She thought, "Why am I holding on? Theodore already gave Vanessa the ring, so why is he still trying to please me? Giving me a cactus, adopting a cat with me, setting up a cat tree for Ollie-thinking about it now, I feel foolish." Phoebe closed her social media app and deleted her recent post.

Outside, Theodore's voice called, "Phoebe, what are you doing in there? You've been in the bathroom a while. Are you okay?"

Phoebe quickly wiped her eyes, realizing she had been crying. She tilted her head back and fanned her eyelids.

Theodore knocked again. "Phoebe?"

She closed her eyes, waiting for the tears to dry, then suddenly opened the door. Theodore's hand was still raised. "You..."

"Can't I be constipated?" Phoebe snapped, glaring at him. He looked innocent, which made her even more resentful. Without another glance, she walked to the living room. Theodore followed. "Do you need medicine? I heard there's good stuff for constipation."

Phoebe was speechless.

She had lashed out, but seeing his genuine concern made her feel even sadder.

She covered her ears with her hands.

Theodore sensed the shift in her mood. The afternoon's lightheartedness was gone, replaced by an invisible wall.

He looked at her, trying to figure out if it was really constipation or something else.
