Forbidden Passion

Chapter 456 Am I the One You Want?

Phoebe frowned. "Theodore, you're being unreasonable. I only found out you were coming the morning we left. How could I have known Edward would be here?" "You didn't seem surprised to see him," Theodore snapped.

Phoebe didn't want to argue. "You're right, I wasn't surprised because I saw him when I got out of the car this morning. Theodore, don't overanalyze things."

Theodore took off his jacket and walked over to Phoebe, pressing her against the wall, his breath heavy with frustration.

"Stop giving me reasons to overthink, Phoebe. I saw you two exchanging looks," Theodore warned.

Phoebe closed her eyes. "You used to exchange glances with Vanessa all the time. Did I mention anything about it?"

"That was normal interaction," Theodore replied.

"Normal interaction?" Phoebe sneered, looking up at his angry face. "You picked her up from Lindell Harbor, gave her a diamond ring, and even a company. How is that normal?" "When did I give her a diamond ring?" Theodore asked.

Phoebe pushed his hand aside, whipped out her phone, and scoured Vanessa's News Feed for the photo. Yet, Vanessa's feed was squeaky clean.

"I saw her post a photo. Where did it go?" Phoebe frowned, suspecting Vanessa's posts were hidden from her.

"I never gave her a ring, Phoebe. Stop making things up," Theodore said.

Phoebe bit her lip. "Fine, even if you didn't give her a ring, you gave her a company. You handed over my sweat and tears to your first love. Did I complain about it?"

"I'll give it to you. Do you want it?" Theodore suddenly said.

Phoebe was stunned.
