Forbidden Passion

Chapter 669 Don't Give the Opportunity to Others

Phoebe finished talking and, without even glancing at Theodore's stunned face, turned and walked away quickly. The setting sun stretched her shadow long behind her. Theodore rubbed his forehead with his long fingers and let out a low chuckle.

Phoebe turning him down was no surprise. If winning her back was that easy, she wouldn't have left him so decisively all those years ago.

Today, Theodore was just testing the waters.

As long as Phoebe wasn't completely disgusted, he saw it as a win.

He looked up at her retreating figure and shouted, "Phoebe, no matter how far you go, I'm gonna win you back."

Phoebe's back stiffened, and she gripped her bag strap tighter. If she hadn't already walked a bit away, she might've thrown her bag at his head to knock some sense into him.
