Forbidden Passion

Chapter 628 Nothing else Matters as long as You Want to Marry Me

Mary felt the tension and bailed out of the car halfway, dodging more awkward vibes.

Phoebe rolled back to Golden Apartment. The nanny van couldn't squeeze in, so it parked by the curb outside. Phoebe tossed off the blanket. Noah sat up, sounding all grumpy, "We're here already?"

Phoebe ruffled his hair, "Yep, I'm outta here. You should chill for a few days. Once the next film kicks off, you'll be swamped."

Just as Phoebe was about to hop out, Noah grabbed her wrist. She almost tumbled into his lap but caught herself just in time.

Noah's eyes flashed with a bit of disappointment. He said, "Phoebe, I don't wanna do that variety show. It's pointless."

Phoebe looked at him and said softly, "This show is a big deal, co-produced by your old company and Kedora's team. The guest lineup is top-notch. Other artists are dying to get on it. Extraordinary Entertainments invited you; it's a golden chance." Noah pouted a bit.

He knew he was being a brat and shouldn't whine about his career, but he couldn't help it. "Then sweet-talk me. If you do, I'll go."

Phoebe chuckled, "You are such a big baby."

"No way! I'm already past the legal marriage age," Noah shot back, annoyed.

Phoebe nodded with a smile, "Alright, I'm out. You should head back and get some rest. See you at the office tomorrow."

She pulled her hand free from Noah's grip. The nanny van's door slid open, and she stepped out.

Noah watched her disappear into the complex from the window. He closed it and told the driver to go.
