Forbidden Passion

Chapter 579 Theodore Was Being Naughty

When Phoebe rolled back to Golden Apartment, Evelyn was already set, clutching a white cloth bag with Donovan's stuff. One look and Phoebe's heart just sank.

"Let's roll," Evelyn said, rocking a smoky gray down jacket, black scarf, and a mourning flower pinned to her arm. Evelyn brushed past Phoebe, heading straight out the door.

Phoebe hesitated for a sec, grabbed the mourning flower from the shoe cabinet, and hustled after her.

They got to the cemetery early. The sky was all gloomy, and the place was wrapped in fog, giving off major sad vibes.

Evelyn and Phoebe followed the cemetery staff to an old tombstone, where there was a photo of Harper. He was smiling broadly, his handsome face radiating warmth even in the fading light.

Next to him was an empty tombstone. Evelyn went over, placed Donovan's photo on it, and just like that, this tombstone had an owner.

Phoebe held a bouquet, bent down, and placed it in front of the tombstone, watching Evelyn put Donovan's stuff into the grave.

With everything done, Evelyn hunched over, covering her mouth and sobbing quietly, totally wrecked with grief.

Phoebe turned away, tears streaming down her face.

Phoebe thought, 'Donovan, rest easy. I'll take care of Mom, get justice for you, and make sure those who wronged you pay.'

Suddenly, a cool sensation hit her face it started raining out of nowhere.

Phoebe looked up, staring blankly at the sudden rain, wondering if Donovan was crying. A shadow suddenly appeared over her head.

Phoebe was startled and turned around. Theodore had somehow shown up behind her, holding an umbrella, looking at her with a complex expression.
