Forbidden Passion

Chapter 706 I Would Rather Die Than Let You Die

Phoebe held a bouquet of flowers in her arms, making her features appear even more elegant and refined. She gently stroked the flower stems with her fingers. "You didn't kill him, right?" she asked.

Even though Phoebe hated the shadow Bishop had cast over her years ago, she didn't want Theodore to kill Bishop. If that happened, Theodore would have to face criminal charges. Theodore gave her a deep look and said, "Are you worried about me or him?"

Theodore's question had a hint of jealousy.

Phoebe met Theodore's gaze without flinching and said slowly, "Mr. Reynolds, please watch the road. I don't want to die young."

Theodore smirked and shifted his gaze back to the road ahead. There weren't many cars on this stretch, with only the occasional vehicle speeding by.

Theodore said, "Don't worry, I won't let you die even if I do."

Phoebe frowned and said displeased, "Don't casually talk about death."

Theodore chuckled, saying, "Don't worry, I still want to grow old with you. I won't die that easily."

Phoebe was speechless. She turned to look out the car window and refused to speak another word to him before they reached the cemetery. Along the way, Theodore tried several times to get Phoebe to talk, but he failed. Gradually, the car fell into silence.

The car stopped in front of the cemetery, and Phoebe got out, slamming the door loudly.

Theodore sat in the car, watching Phoebe storm around the car and head into the cemetery. He quickly unbuckled his seatbelt, got out, locked the car, and followed her.

The cemetery was very quiet, with rows of tombstones stretching upward. Even though the sunlight pierced through the clouds, it couldn't dispel the somber atmosphere.
