Forbidden Passion

Chapter 690 The Cunning Little Fox

Outside the Empire State Building.

Theodore leaned against the car door, rocking a tuxedo with a pocket square tucked in.

He had this aristocratic vibe, just standing there with his broad shoulders and long legs. The tux looked pricey, but he made it look even better.

Theodore was waiting for Phoebe, all chill, when he heard the click-clack of high heels from inside the building. He quickly looked up.

A slender, graceful figure caught his eye. Phoebe was lifting her dress, walking like a queen stepping down from her throne.

In an instant, she dazzled him and stole his heart.

Theodore couldn't take his eyes off her, filled with a possessive intensity.

He suddenly regretted it. He shouldn't have given her that dress, shouldn't have brought her to the banquet. He couldn't stand the thought of others ogling her beauty. Just imagining all those eyes on Phoebe made Theodore want to whisk her away to the Imperial Apartment and keep her hidden, never letting anyone else see her. Phoebe stopped in front of Theodore, tilting her chin up to look at him.

The sunset's glow bathed them, and Phoebe's eyes seemed to sparkle.

Phoebe said, "Sorry to keep you waiting, let's go."

Theodore felt a rush of heat, almost unable to resist kissing her as she looked at him like that.

He didn't want to mess things up, so he turned his gaze away, using the act of opening the door to ease his longing.

Theodore opened the car door and said, "Please, get in."
