Forbidden Passion

Chapter 548 Urge Them to Have Children

Seeing Madison bolt into the elevator, Carol snapped her mouth shut in surprise and muttered, "Some folks never grow up; always stuck in their own little bubble, totally clueless about right and wrong." Phoebe pursed her lips, glanced towards the office, and after a beat, asked, "Do I need to grab any documents?"

"Yeah, these are all of 'em." Carol quickly shoved the papers her way.

Phoebe scooped up the documents and headed into the office.

The place was a wreck, and Theodore's favorite ornament lay shattered on the floor.

Phoebe looked up to see Theodore by the floor-to-ceiling window, puffing on a cigarette, white smoke curling around him.

She set the documents on the desk and slowly walked over to Theodore, reaching out to take the cigarette from his hand. But in the next second, Theodore grabbed her wrist.

Caught off guard, Phoebe found herself pushed against the glass, Theodore's lips crashing onto hers.

The sharp taste of nicotine hit her mouth, making her cough. Theodore let her go, but kept his forehead pressed against hers. He murmured, "Sorry."

Phoebe caught a hint of vulnerability in his voice. Her coughing eased, and her eyes misted over, making her look soft.

She asked, "I heard you called Madison up early this morning. Did you tell her about the paternity test?"

Theodore took a deep drag, inhaling too fast and choking, which made him cough hard.

Seeing this, Phoebe gently patted his back and took the half-burned cigarette from his hand, snuffing it out in the ashtray.
