Forbidden Passion

Chapter 736 Why Are You So Likeable

Theodore's tone was very affectionate, making anyone who heard it think they had a close relationship. Milton glanced at him, a slight smile tugging at the corner of his mouth.

Harper looked at Phoebe and saw a hint of awkwardness on her face. He wanted to ask something but ended up saying nothing.

Milton's car arrived first. Milton opened the back seat, and Harper turned to Phoebe, saying, "Ms. Ziegler, see you tomorrow!" Phoebe smiled and said, "Mr. Ziegler, see you tomorrow."

Harper got into the car, and Milton closed the door. He looked back at Phoebe and said lightly, "Phoebe, I'll message you later." Phoebe said politely, "Okay."

Milton left this ambiguous remark and got into the car. The black sedan drove away, slowly disappearing into the night.

Inside the car, Harper gazed out the window at the rapidly passing street scenes. It had been over twenty years since he last set foot in his homeland. The streets were now broader, new buildings stood where old ones once did, and the place felt almost unrecognizable to him.

Milton glanced at the rearview mirror and asked, "Mr. Ziegler, where would you like to go tomorrow? I can ask Phoebe to accompany you."

Harper withdrew his gaze and said coldly, "I don't have any particular place in mind. Let her arrange it as she sees fit."

"Alright."

Harper paused, thinking of Theodore, and frowned again, "Didn't you say Phoebe and Theodore were divorced? Why are they still entangled?"

Milton replied, "That's because they previously adopted a cat."

Harper understood and snorted coldly, "Rich people's tricks, trying to use a cat to tie Phoebe down. Do they think she's that cheap?"

Milton thought to himself that Harper probably didn't understand Phoebe well. She was someone who valued emotions and commitments. Since they adopted the cat, as long as it was alive, it would always be an excuse for Theodore to approach Phoebe.
