Forbidden Passion

Chapter 714 Closer Than Ever

Outside the reception room, a familiar voice accompanied by a child's laughter reached Phoebe's ears, causing her to pause. She pushed the door open and walked in.

Bianca, sitting on the sofa, turned her head and looked at her with a smile. "Phoebe, long time no see. You look more beautiful than ever."

Phoebe's expression quickly shifted from a scowl to a smile when she saw Bianca. She walked over, and Bianca stood up to hug her. "Bianca."

"Why are you so thin?" Bianca wrapped her arms around Phoebe's waist and said, "You're getting thinner, but I'm getting fatter. I can't even show myself in public anymore."

"Stop talking nonsense, your figure is voluptuous. I'm envious." Phoebe pulled Bianca to sit down and looked at Benjamin, who was playing nearby.

"Benjamin has grown so tall, Bianca. He's looking more and more like you." Phoebe observed Benjamin.

Benjamin had rosy lips and white teeth, a chubby little face, thick and long eyelashes, and big round eyes, making him very endearing.

Bianca waved at Benjamin and said, "Benjamin, come over and greet with Aunt Phoebe."

Benjamin ran over and jumped into Bianca's arms, looking at Phoebe with clear, innocent eyes. He called out crisply, "Aunt Phoebe, my mom said you almost married into our family. Is that true?" Phoebe's expression turned a bit awkward.

Bianca pinched Benjamin's mouth and looked at Phoebe awkwardly, saying, "Phoebe, Benjamin speaks without a filter. Don't take it seriously."

Phoebe replied with a faint smile, "It's okay. Kids are innocent and say whatever comes to mind. Don't blame him."
