Forbidden Passion

Chapter 657 Make Sure to Look Cool When Meeting Phoebe

Theodore was zoning out, staring at the ceiling. After a bit, he heard footsteps coming from the doorway. He turned his head and saw Grace walking in. Seeing Grace, his foggy brain started to clear up.

Grace had never been to Imperial Apartment and didn't know the house's password. How did she get in?

"Theodore, here's some water. It's kinda hot, so watch out," Grace said, standing by the bed, looking all awkward.

Theodore gave her a hard look. "Grace, how'd you get in here?"

Grace froze at the question. Thinking of Phoebe playing with a cat now, she awkwardly said, "I just entered the password."

Theodore squinted. "You're a terrible liar."

Under Theodore's intense stare, Grace almost crumbled. "Theodore."

"Spill it!" Theodore's tone was harsh, not letting her off the hook.

Grace bit her lip and finally decided to throw Phoebe under the bus. She cautiously confessed, "Phoebe asked me to check on you, but I didn't know the password. After trying a few times, the lock got disabled. I had to call Phoebe to come up and use her fingerprint. Theodore, you've been divorced for over two years, but her fingerprint is still registered here."

Theodore suddenly started coughing. The towel on his forehead fell off, leaving a dark water stain on the bedspread.

Seeing Theodore cough so badly, Grace stood by helplessly and said, "Theodore, you okay?"

Theodore coughed for a while before catching his breath. His lips were a deep red, looking eerily like an elf.

Theodore struggled to sit up, turning his head to look outside. "Where is she now?"
