Forbidden Passion

Chapter 422 When You Cry, You Don't Look Like Her Anymore

Theodore glanced at Patrick and said, "If I knew where she was, would I be waiting here like an idiot?"

Realizing Phoebe was missing, he immediately sent people to look for her.

That morning, after leaving with the cat, Phoebe called a Uber to Cindy's house.

Then she vanished. Days went by, and her phone stayed off. Theodore checked; she hadn't left the country.

Before Phoebe disappeared, only Cindy had seen her and knew where she was.

Seeing Theodore's serious look, Patrick laughed and said, "Your wife's missing, and you come to Cindy's house to wait. No wonder she's mad enough to want to chop you up."

Theodore replied, "I can wait. If you don't want me here, ask her where Phoebe went. Once I get an answer, I'll leave."

"You're something else," Patrick said, glaring. After a moment, he gave in. "Fine, I'll ask."

Patrick walked to the bedroom door, which was locked. He knocked and said, "Cindy, open up. Let me in."

In the living room, Theodore heard Patrick's humble tone and felt oddly satisfied. He thought, 'No matter how tough they are outside, they turn into kittens in front of the women they love.'

A thud sounded, followed by Cindy's haughty voice, "Get lost. I won't tell him. Isn't he supposed to be so capable? Let him find her himself."

Patrick touched his nose and coughed to hide his embarrassment. He called, "Cindy."
