Forbidden Passion

Chapter 401 Showdown

Evelyn said, "I'm not asking you to compare yourself to him, but to a twenty-year-old girl. She's in her prime. What do you have to compete with her?" Phoebe was speechless.

"But if you give Theodore a son now, your status will change. You might not outdo those mistresses, but you can secure your position with a son," Evelyn insisted. Phoebe shot back, "What era are we in? Divorced women with kids are everywhere. Look at Brian Vanderbilt."

Evelyn replied, "Speaking of Brian, he and Bianca have reconciled. Kids are the glue in a marriage. With kids, no marriage falls apart easily."

Phoebe looked at her mom, surprised. "Did Brian and Bianca get back together for their child?"

"Yes, Brian didn't make any major mistakes, and he promised both families' elders he'd never hurt Bianca again. So, the parents let it go," Evelyn sighed.

It was all for Benjamin's sake that the Ramirez family swallowed their pride. Now, it depended on whether Brian would truly change.

Phoebe was speechless.

Wasn't it a major mistake to catch him in bed? If it were her, seeing Theodore and Vanessa in bed...

She couldn't even think about it; she definitely wouldn't forgive him.

Seeing the conversation veer off track, Evelyn pulled it back. "Grab your bag. It's a good time to go now since there aren't many people. Get checked, and then come back to work." Phoebe silently looked at Evelyn.

"Why are you staring at me? Hurry up. Didn't you say you were busy? The sooner we go, the sooner we come back," Evelyn said.

Phoebe had no choice. Knowing Evelyn wouldn't give up today, she grabbed her bag and left the office with her.

Phoebe didn't drive. They took a cab straight to the hospital. There weren't many people, and after a few minutes, it was their turn.
