Forbidden Passion

Chapter 578 Tonight, I'll Let You Go

Phoebe looked up at Theodore, still as intimidating and distant as ever, just like when they first met. The guy who once seemed out of reach was now right in front of her, saying in a cool tone, "Beg me." Phoebe's eyes traced Theodore's sharp brow, narrow eyes, and straight nose like she was painting a picture. She smirked, "I beg you to let me go!"

Theodore's fingers suddenly tightened around Phoebe's waist, pulling her close. He leaned down, whispering in her ear, "Tonight, I'll let you go."

Phoebe felt a jolt through her body. She couldn't take it anymore, so she shoved him away and turned to leave.

It wasn't until the door slammed shut that Theodore felt all his strength drain away. He leaned weakly against the closet door, wiping his face with his hand.

"Phoebe, if you come keep me company, won't Mr. Reynolds say something?" Grace asked, looking at Phoebe, who had changed into pajamas and was now sitting on the bed.

Grace could tell that Phoebe and Theodore's relationship wasn't like a typical married couple. There was always something between them, a distance that fluctuated.

Phoebe propped a pillow behind her and leaned back, saying lightly, "It's fine; he'll understand."

Grace hugged her knees, burying her face in her arms, and mumbled, "You really don't seem like a couple."

Phoebe was taken aback.

Indeed, she and Theodore didn't seem like a couple.

In the past three years, almost no one knew she was Theodore's wife because there was no vibe of a married couple between them.

Some couples couldn't hide their love when they looked at each other.
