Forbidden Passion

Chapter 496 Brandon and Taylor Are Getting Divorced

Theodore waited impatiently, but there was no sound coming from Phoebe beside him. Turning his head, he noticed her completely unconscious, her eyes firmly shut. He clenched his teeth in frustration and gave her a hard kick. "Seriously? You're out like a light, sleeping like a little pig!"

If Phoebe were awake, she'd feel pretty bummed too. She'd been through the wringer today, hadn't even had a bite to eat, and had been tossed around like a rag doll. The reason she had passed out was simply because she was utterly exhausted.

Despite his initial rage, Theodore found himself unable to resist. He rolled over and enveloped Phoebe in a protective embrace.

Glancing at the conspicuous golden cage across the room, he entertained the notion that if Phoebe misbehaved again, she would surely be confined within its confines. However, for now, he decided to overlook her current actions. Last night, there was a big blow-up at the party. Theodore's mind was all on Phoebe, and he couldn't care less about home.

Early in the morning, a call from Christopher woke him up. He glanced at Phoebe, who was snoozing soundly in his arms, gently let her go, and grabbed his phone as he left the bedroom.

In the hallway, Theodore's voice was icy. "What's up?"

Hearing Theodore's voice, Christopher sounded like he found a lifeline. "Theodore, you gotta come back quick. Dad and Mom are getting a divorce."

Theodore was taken back. "What?"

He hung up, pushed open the bedroom door, walked to the bed, and shook Phoebe. "Phoebe, wake up."

Phoebe had only crashed around three in the morning and was in deep sleep. No matter how much he called her, she wouldn't wake up. Theodore squinted his eyes and just picked her up, blanket and all, and walked out the door. He plopped her in the back seat and drove away from West Mountain Villas. Halfway through the drive, Phoebe woke up. She groggily opened her eyes. "Theodore, is there an earthquake? Why's the bed moving?" Theodore replied, annoyed, "Yeah, sure."

Phoebe sat up, still wrapped in the blanket, and realized she was in the car. She looked down and saw she was still in her bathrobe. "Where are we going now?" "Back to the estate. Dad and Mom are getting a divorce," Theodore said flatly.
