Forbidden Passion

Chapter 685 The Sense of a Family of Three

Theodore shut his eyes, his Adam's apple bobbing as he fought back the urge and calmly switched on the hairdryer. He blew warm air on his hand a couple of times, then casually lifted Phoebe's hair and started drying it with care. His warm, slender fingers brushed her scalp, sending a shiver down her spine.

Phoebe felt a tingle and instinctively straightened up.

With a playful tone, she asked, "Mr. Reynolds, how much do you charge for a hair-drying session?"

Theodore paused for a second.

Then, with a bright smile, he said, "First one's on the house."

Phoebe closed her eyes to avoid the tickle of hair strands on her face. With her eyes shut, her other senses kicked in.

She could feel Theodore's warm fingertips lightly grazing her scalp, causing a slight tingle.

Trying to distract herself, she asked casually, "Mr. Reynolds, you seem pretty good at this. Do you often blow-dry women's hair?"

"Yeah." Theodore replied nonchalantly.

Back in the day, after their intimate moments, Phoebe would often pass out, and her hair would get wet in the bath. He'd always dry it for her.

Phoebe felt a weird pang in her chest and said, "She must be pretty lucky then."

Theodore said, "I'm the lucky one."

Phoebe stayed quiet until the hairdryer stopped. She opened her eyes to see Theodore unplugging it.
