Chapter 497 Behave

Phoebe was totally caught off guard. She stepped up without thinking and put herself between Theodore and her dad. "Dad, Theodore's a grown man."

Brandon shot Phoebe a cold look. Seeing she wasn't about to back down, he slowly lowered his hand.

Brandon scoffed, "Grown-ups should act like it. Talking all reckless."

Phoebe thought Brandon was being totally unfair. Theodore was always solid and reliable, never reckless.

Theodore sneered, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "The fish rots from the head!"

Brandon yelled, "You!"

Seeing Theodore and Brandon about to go at it, Sarah slammed the table. "Do you all think I'm ancient? Trying to give me a heart attack?"

Sarah's outburst cut the tension between Theodore and Brandon, though they still shot daggers at each other. Theodore broke the silence, saying, "I'm heading upstairs to check on Mom." "Yeah, go on, try to talk some sense into her," Sarah waved him off.

Theodore turned and headed upstairs. Phoebe stood there, feeling lost, not sure if she should follow him or stay put.

Theodore paused on the stairs, turned back, and said, "Phoebe, come with me."

Phoebe nodded, glancing at Sarah and Brandon before quickly catching up to Theodore. They climbed the stairs together.
