Forbidden Passion

Chapter 629 Encountering with Theodore

Phoebe hung out in the dining room for a bit, then got up and took the dishes back to the kitchen. Just one plate and one pot, so she washed 'em up real quick. Her phone buzzed twice in her pocket. Phoebe dried her hands, pulled out her phone, and checked it. New email. She clicked on the file in it.

Phoebe could hear the excitement in Mary's voice, so she called her. They started hashing out the details.

After chatting till 2 a.m., Evelyn, who had woken up to use the bathroom, saw the kitchen light still on and went to turn it off just as Phoebe ended the call.
