Forbidden Passion

Chapter 424 Find Her, Hide Her

Delilah looked a bit embarrassed. She cleared her throat and said, "What are you talking about? When did I ever send women to your bed?" Edward didn't argue and just walked out.

Delilah called after him, "Drive slow. It's supposed to snow tonight. How can you go out with only a coat? Wait, I'll get you a down jacket." But Edward was already gone. Soon, the sound of an engine roared in the yard, and the high beams cut through the night.

Delilah shivered from the cold and retreated into the warm living room. Bianca handed her a cup of water.

"Mom, let Edward be," Bianca said.

Delilah glared at Bianca, sensing a bit of smugness. Bianca wasn't as pleasing as she used to be.

"If I don't care about him, he'll wait for Phoebe forever," Delilah said.

Bianca smiled, "Edward devoted. If he wants to wait, let him. It's better than Brian flirting everywhere. If I were Phoebe, I'd eventually come around." Delilah was speechless.

Brian was her weak spot. She opened her mouth but didn't argue with Bianca. "If only they could balance each other out, it would be fine."

Bianca sneered inwardly. 'Who knows where Brian is fooling around tonight; he still hasn't come back.'

If Edward could share some of his infatuation with Brian, she'd be thrilled. But better not let Brian's ways ruin Edward.

As the car drove out, snowflakes began to fall. Edward stared blankly at the snow, his heart burning.

The first snow was the day he and Phoebe fell in love.

Every year, on the first snow, he would get drunk to numb the heartache.
