Forbidden Passion

Chapter 750 Do You Have a Man by Your Side?

Theodore had just returned to his hotel room and couldn't wait to start a video call. Seeing Phoebe's adorably puffed-up face, he couldn't help but laugh. "Just catching you off guard so you'd answer my call," Theodore said with a beaming smile, not giving her time to react. "What are you doing?" Phoebe replied, "Nothing much, just having some downtime."

Theodore's eyes darted around her camera view as if trying to inspect every corner of her room for any hidden men.

"Is there a man with you?"

Phoebe was confused, "What man? Don't say such things."

Theodore smirked, "So, there's no man with you?"

Phoebe's attention was diverted by his question. She said, "I don't have any random men here, but that doesn't mean there are no men in my house."

Theodore suddenly felt a bit agitated. He tugged at his tie and unbuttoned the top two buttons. "Who is the man, Edward or Noah?"

When he mentioned Edward, Phoebe could clearly hear the tension in Theodore's voice.

She pursed her lips, her gaze sweeping over the exposed part of Theodore's collarbone. She really wanted to pull his collar aside to see if he had a tattoo there. "None of your business, Mr. Reynolds. If you have nothing important, I'm hanging up."

Theodore quickly said, "Wait, I want to see Ollie."

Phoebe looked at Ollie, who was playing with its tail nearby. She switched the camera to the rear and pointed it at Ollie. "Look, it's well-fed and happy, not a hair out of place."

Phoebe paused and added, "I really don't get you. If you're so worried, why did you ask me to take care of it? You could have sent it back to the estate, and it would be well taken care of."

Theodore walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, the night outside reflecting in his deep, dark eyes. He glanced at the screen where Ollie was happily playing with its tail, then looked away disinterestedly. "A single-parent child needs to bond with its mom; otherwise, it will grow distant over time."
