Chapter 595 Heartless

Evelyn had never seen Theodore this hyped before, and she was caught off guard. "Theodore, what's up?"

Theodore grabbed the phone with shaky hands, eyes glued to a pic of Phoebe grinning ear to ear. She'd been the star of all his teenage dreams.

Every time he dreamed of Phoebe, she'd be smiling at him, running away, looking back, and shouting, "My name is Mia."

Phoebe had always been in his dreams, so that day in the courtyard, when Vanessa showed up in a flowy white dress, smiling brighter than the sun, and someone called her Mia from behind, he thought Vanessa was the girl who saved him as a kid.

One slip-up led to a lifetime of regret.

Turned out, the girl he'd been searching for had been in his life all along. Phoebe's radiant smile had healed him, but he didn't recognize her.

That mistake was unforgivable.

Theodore called out, "Mia."

Evelyn heard him call Phoebe by her nickname and looked at him, surprised. "How do you know Phoebe's nickname is Mia?"

"She told me," Theodore said, his voice rough.

He gently stroked the screen with his fingers. Teenage Phoebe, in her white princess dress, looked like a little fairy who'd stepped into the human world. Her smile alone could fix everything.

Phoebe's smile was so unique; how did he mix her up with someone else?

That day, at the employee meeting when he joined the Reynolds Group, everyone looked serious, except Phoebe, who smiled so brightly and captivatingly.
