Forbidden Passion

Chapter 615 Could She Be Pregnant?

Cindy had been getting nonstop calls from Phoebe lately, all about Evelyn setting her up on blind dates. Cindy couldn't help but chuckle as she gripped the steering wheel. "Why don't you just meet them? You might actually like one of 'em," Cindy suggested.

Phoebe leaned back in her chair, "Am I dumb? I just crawled out of one marriage mess, and I'm not rushing to dive into another."

Cindy caught the deeper meaning in Phoebe's words, and her heart ached. She knew Phoebe wasn't gonna shake off Theodore that easily.

"You think Evelyn's too into your business. Look at me, I wish my parents cared. They just let me figure stuff out on my own," Cindy said. Phoebe smiled, "What about you and Patrick?"

"Same old." Cindy didn't wanna dive into it and quickly changed the topic. "By the way, Edward's gonna be there today too."

Phoebe was surprised, "He's coming?"

"Yeah, he asked me not to tell you 'cause he thought you wouldn't show if you knew. Phoebe, I think Edward still loves you. Why not give him a shot?" Cindy asked, testing the waters. Edward had been hitting Cindy up a lot lately and showering her with gifts. Cindy felt she had to say something nice about him.

Phoebe sighed, "Cindy, you know me. Besides, Edward and I are in totally different worlds now."

"Really, no chance at all?" Cindy pressed.

"Yeah." Phoebe was firm.

Seeing Phoebe's stance, Cindy knew Edward was outta luck. She felt bad for him. "Forget it, let's not talk about this. We're here to have fun today."

Two hours later, Cindy and Phoebe rolled up to the suburban campsite. The green lawn was dotted with tents, and a bunch of parents had brought their kids to camp.

Edward snapped back to reality and looked at Cindy, who was sitting next to him. She pointed to the fish that was now on fire, "The fish is burning." Edward looked down and saw flames licking the fish. He quickly reached out to grab it but ended
