Forbidden Passion

Chapter 515 I Was Afraid He Might Beat You to Death

Cindy dropped her head and stayed quiet for a bit before finally saying, "They're nothing alike, really. I'm just super lonely."

Phoebe saw the sadness on Cindy's face and felt a pang in her heart.

She'd been so swamped lately that she just remembered Caleb's death anniversary was around now. No wonder Cindy hit the bar and got wasted last night.

Phoebe felt a knot in her chest. "Cindy, you still not gonna visit Caleb this year?" she asked.

Cindy's fingers tensed up, and her smile faded. She stared blankly at the carpet. "No."

Phoebe called out, "Cindy."

Cindy looked up, her eyes full of pain as she stared at Phoebe. "Phoebe, I still can't accept that he's gone for good. So I won't go. As long as I don't see it, he's still alive and will come back." "Why do you put yourself through this?" Phoebe asked, worried. "If Caleb could see you, he wouldn't be at peace."

"Then he can never be at peace!" Cindy's voice was a mix of pain and anger.

Phoebe wanted to say more, but seeing Cindy's stubborn look, she knew it was pointless. She asked, "That guy treating you well?"

Cindy was caught off guard.

Phoebe said, "Your contract lover, is he good-looking?"

Cindy nodded. "Yeah, especially his eyes. They're the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen. Sometimes I wanna take them out and keep them."

Phoebe was speechless. 'Cindy's tone is kinda creepy, what's up with that?'

Then she said, "Cindy, you shouldn't have such dangerous thoughts."

Cindy laughed. "I'm just messing with you, look how freaked out you are."
