Chapter 396 Mr. Reynolds' Sweet Nothings

Theodore had never really thought about it before and was momentarily speechless, realizing it wasn't impossible.

Theodore: [Isn't this a bit much?]

Patrick didn't hold back. Patrick: [How long has WhatsApp been around, and you just posted your first status? Living in the past much?] The conversation veered off course, and they ended up arguing in the chat, only to realize it was pointless.

Theodore: [I'm going to sleep with my wife now. Have fun.]

Patrick sent a bunch of speechless emojis, which Theodore mocked. He put his phone on the coffee table and looked at the sleeping Phoebe. Theodore thought for a moment and checked Phoebe's status updates. She had a lot, but most were work-related and boring.

He exited WhatsApp, looked at Phoebe's peaceful face, and whispered, "How did you make your status updates even more boring than mine?" After Vanessa posted a photo of her wearing a diamond ring, she kept checking her phone.

Vanessa knew Phoebe wouldn't block her, just like she secretly followed Phoebe's updates. Whatever Phoebe posted, Vanessa would sneak a peek. Almost everyone had such secret thoughts, and Vanessa was no exception.
