Chapter 768 Hugging Her from Behind

Theodore stood outside the door, holding a delicate paper bag, and waved it in front of Phoebe. "I noticed you didn't bring any clothes, so I had Jack buy you a set. Want to try it on?"

Phoebe opened the door a bit wider and extended her hand. "Give it to me."

Seeing Phoebe's defensive stance, Theodore's lips curled into a slight smile. "You're so wary of me. You know, I won't force you if you don't want to."

Phoebe pursed her lips and reached for the paper bag in Theodore's hand. He didn't let go, his gaze fixed on her.

Fresh out of the shower, Phoebe looked incredibly alluring.

Theodore wanted to take back his earlier words; perhaps forced intimacy wasn't such a bad idea after all.

Feeling Theodore's intense and unwavering gaze, Phoebe felt uncomfortable. She tugged the bag with a bit more force and pulled it away.

Then, with a "bang," she slammed the door shut.

The smile never left Theodore's face as he turned and went downstairs.

Theodore was no longer the frustrated man he once was. He had developed the patience to win Phoebe's heart back, step by step.

Phoebe took the paper bag into the room and pulled out the clothes. It was a long white dress reminiscent of her old style.

But the underwear was a different story.

The bra was semi-transparent lace, and the panties were even more daring just three thin straps, barely covering anything.

Was this the classic case of 'good girl on the outside, wild girl on the inside'?
