Forbidden Passion

Chapter 622 An Unexpected Encounter with Theodore at the Airport

The cab had barely pulled away when Phoebe's phone buzzed. It was Evelyn. "Mom, seriously? I just left like ten minutes ago."

Evelyn cut her off, "Phoebe, have you put on some pounds lately? Your belly's kinda sticking out."

Phoebe glanced down at her slightly rounded tummy, her heart skipped a beat, but she played dumb, "Really?"

"I'm telling you, you gotta watch your figure. Just 'cause you're divorced doesn't mean you can let yourself go. If you meet a guy you like, he'll bolt the second he sees that belly," Evelyn warned. Phoebe was at a loss for words.

Her heart raced, worried Evelyn might've picked up on something more.

But the doc had said she was infertile for life, so Evelyn probably wouldn't think that way. Plus, being single, Evelyn wouldn't suspect a thing.

Phoebe joked, "Got it. You take care too, and don't stay up all night playing cards. If you kick the bucket, I won't make it back in time." "Alright, I'm hanging up." Evelyn snapped and ended the call, heading back into the community.

Phoebe sighed, pocketed her phone, and stared out the window at the towering Reynolds Group building. Suddenly, she felt a flutter in her belly. She froze and placed a hand on her lower abdomen.

It wasn't her imagination; her belly really moved. The three babies, who had been so quiet, were now stirring inside her.

The tiny movements under her palm almost brought her to tears.

She looked up, and the Reynolds Group building was now far behind. The fluttering had stopped, like it was just a figment of her imagination.

The car pulled up at Kedora International Terminal. Phoebe lugged two big suitcases through security, spotting Cindy waiting in the terminal hall.
