Forbidden Passion

Chapter 459 I Will Always Be With You

Phoebe didn't get why Theodore would visit a church so late at night.

The church sat on a hillside, usually peaceful and serene. But in winter, the bare branches made it look bleak.

Contrary to Phoebe's expectations, the place was packed, busier than a tourist spot.

The church was a grand, majestic attraction, looking solemn and dignified at night.

Phoebe didn't believe in religion, but since she was there, she followed Theodore inside the church, feeling a hint of respect.

Tourists were everywhere, and she occasionally saw familiar faces. They'd just nod and move on.

The dim lights added mystery to the deities in the church, who looked down compassionately.

As Phoebe emerged from the hall after her prayers, she turned to find Theodore still inside, deep in prayer, his features reflecting a rare vulnerability. Her eyes widened in disbelief.

Theodore, known for his strong belief in self-determination and control, was now kneeling and earnestly seeking solace in prayer.

"Want a fortune-telling?" a cold, ethereal voice asked from behind. Phoebe turned to see a woman standing there.

The woman had a black veil over her face, her eyes eerie and mysterious.

Phoebe shook her head. "No, thanks."
