Chapter 774 One Night Stand

Reason told Phoebe she should refuse. After all, a man and a woman alone, drunk, could easily lead to something happening, and she couldn't bear the consequences.

"Mr. Reynolds, Ethan needs me at night."

Theodore sneered lightly, "If you don't want to accompany me, just say so. Don't make excuses, Mia. Can you be honest with me?"

Phoebe's heart skipped a beat.

Since Phoebe became an adult, even Evelyn stopped calling her by her nickname. Hearing it from Theodore now felt a bit ambiguous.

Phoebe scratched her ear, "I'll have a drink with you, but no more than that."

Theodore picked up another empty glass, poured a small amount of wine, and pushed

it towards Phoebe, "I know you get drunk easily. I won't push you."

Phoebe picked up the glass. Under the warm yellow light, the amber liquid looked tempting. She took a sip and frowned.

"Even after spending several years in Caneda, I still can't get used to this kind of wine." Phoebe put the glass on the table, resting her head on her hand, lazily looking at Theodore.

Theodore curled his lips, "Did you have a good time in Caneda?"

Phoebe was taken aback.

Theodore asking her so gently was unexpected. She lowered her eyes, "Yeah, I was busy with my career. It was pretty good."

"I didn't have a good time at all," Theodore suddenly said.

Phoebe stared at Theodore in a daze. He wasn't joking; his eyes were full of loneliness. Theodore swirled his glass, "After the divorce, I thought I could quickly forget you and start over. But later, I realized I was deceiving myself. Mia, I never forgot you for a moment."

Phoebe sat there motionless, processing every word Theodore had just said, chewing on them and understanding them in her mind.
