Forbidden Passion

Chapter 770 Theodore Suspects the Triplets' Parentage

After dinner, Phoebe played with Ethan for a while before taking him upstairs for a bath. Halfway through, Theodore walked in.

He leaned against the sink, his gaze sweeping over the black lingerie hanging on the rack, deep in thought.

Phoebe had washed the lingerie, which meant she was either wearing nothing under her robe or the sexy lingerie he had prepared for her.

Either way, it aroused Theodore, making his throat dry.

Phoebe turned around and saw Theodore staring at her lingerie. Her cheeks flushed, and she couldn't help but cough lightly, "Why did you come in?"

"I came to check on you." Theodore's gaze remained on Phoebe's rosy cheeks, the warm light instantly arousing him.

Phoebe felt uneasy under Theodore's gaze. She averted her eyes, thinking that the bathroom was a place where intimacy could easily develop.

She lifted Ethan out of the water and wrapped him in a towel, "All done, Ethan. You smell so nice. Let's get you dressed."

Fortunately, when she brought Ethan to the bathroom, she had carried a bag with his clothes, a bottle, formula, and two sets of clean clothes.

As she passed by Theodore, he reached out to take the child, "Let me hold him."

Ethan was still afraid of Theodore and didn't dare move while in his arms. Phoebe followed them to the bed.

Theodore found a clean set of clothes in the bag. After drying Ethan off, Theodore helped him get dressed.

As it got later, Ethan yawned.

Phoebe took out the bottle and formula and said to Theodore, "Could you watch him for a moment? I'll go downstairs to prepare his formula."

"Go ahead."
