Forbidden Passion

Chapter 707 I Must Give Birth to This Child

After a bit, Phoebe glanced at the steps, but Ruby was nowhere in sight. Phoebe shook her head; Ruby really didn't trust her. Theodore noticed Phoebe's look and said softly, "If you want to find her, I can give you her address tomorrow."

Phoebe let out a deep sigh, "Forget it."

If she pushed too hard, Ruby would think she was trying to take Ethan away. It was better to leave things as they were. If Ruby really needed help, she'd come to the Empire State Building to find Phoebe. As Phoebe and Theodore made their way down the mountain, the sky suddenly darkened, and it looked like a heavy rain was coming. The wind whipped their clothes around.

Phoebe's hair was all over the place from the wind. She turned to see Theodore still strolling along. She stopped and said, "Mr. Reynolds, stop dragging your feet. It can rain any minute in the summer." Before she could finish, a cool raindrop hit her face, and soon it was pouring. Neither of them had brought an umbrella.

Theodore grabbed her wrist and started pulling her down the mountain.

Phoebe was startled and tried to pull away, but his grip was too strong. Instead, he held on tighter. Theodore's voice was wild and carefree in the wind and rain. He said softly, "Phoebe, want to run away with me?" Phoebe looked at Theodore's back with a mix of emotions, thinking she had a family and a successful career; she'd have to be crazy to run away with him.

But running in the rain felt like a weight was lifted off her shoulders. The guilt and self-blame she'd been carrying were left behind. She just needed to keep moving forward. Theodore's hand slid from her wrist to interlock their fingers tightly. He grinned.

"Phoebe, let's run away together!"

Phoebe glared at the back of his head. The heavy rain blurred her vision. If he'd said this to her two years ago, she would've followed him without a second thought.

They ran down the steps and out of the cemetery. The rain was coming down harder, and the damp chill hit them.
