Forbidden Passion

Chapter 477 Fierce and Passionate

Theodore rolled up to the estate super late, totally missing Madison's charred-to-a-crisp dish.

He headed upstairs but got stopped by Taylor at the second-floor corner.

"Theodore, come here for a sec," Taylor called out.

Theodore glanced up at the third floor, itching to get there.

Taylor noticed and teased with a grin, "Phoebe's just upstairs; she ain't going anywhere if you're a few minutes late. Come here, I gotta talk to you."

Theodore's face showed he wasn't thrilled, but he still walked over and followed Taylor into their room.

Taylor pointed to the couch for him to sit. Once they were both seated, Taylor started, "Christmas is coming up, and I wanna throw a party. The house has been dead lately; we need some life for the new year." "Are you sure you're up for it?" Theodore asked.

Taylor touched the back of her head where her wound had healed, though the emotional scars were still there.

"Don't underestimate me; I still got the energy for a party," she said.

Taylor paused and added, "You and Phoebe have been married for almost four years, right? This is a good chance to introduce her to everyone, so no one messes with her again." She was talking about that incident at the Grand Hotel.
