Forbidden Passion

Chapter 441 Empty Promises

Phoebe quickly looked away, pushed the bowl over, and said, "I'm full, you can have it."

Theodore glanced at the bowl, noticing there was only a little left. With a few quick bites, he polished off the rest and then drank the soup.

Riley brought out another bowl and saw Theodore putting down the empty one. "Theodore, if you want more, just tell me. Why are you eating Phoebe's leftovers?" Theodore wiped his mouth, glanced at the slightly uncomfortable Phoebe, his gaze briefly resting on her lips with intent. "It's fine, I don't mind."

Phoebe, speechless, couldn't shake the feeling of Theodore's intense look. She quickly grabbed a napkin to cover her face below her eyes to avoid his gaze. Theodore's eyes darkened, and he cleared his throat, feeling a bit parched.

"Mom, look at Theodore, he looks like a henpecked husband," Madison said, wrinkling her nose in a gesture that was supposed to be cute but came off as pretentious.

Taylor looked at Theodore and Phoebe, then said to Madison, "Just eat your food."

"Theodore, don't you have a cleanliness obsession?" Madison chuckled. "I still remember that time we were out on a picnic with Vanessa. We were all parched, and there was just one bottle of water left. Vanessa took a sip and passed it to you. Your lips were literally cracking from dryness, but you wouldn't take a swig!"

"Madison, eat your food," Taylor interrupted her immediately upon hearing Vanessa's name. Madison pouted and continued eating.

Phoebe crumpled the napkin and threw it in the trash, then got up to leave. "I'm going to chat with Sarah."

As soon as she left, Theodore stood up. He looked down at Madison and said, "You really know how to say the wrong thing."

Madison lowered her head even more. "I didn't mean to; it just came to mind."

Theodore couldn't be bothered to argue with her and turned to follow Phoebe.
