Chapter 785 A Goodbye Kiss

Theodore held a cigarette between his fingers, white smoke swirling around him. His gaze pierced through the smoke, sharp as a knife.

Theodore quietly watched Phoebe as she walked towards him.

Phoebe stopped a short distance in front of Theodore and said coldly, "Why are you here? Don't tell me you were waiting for me?"

Theodore's gaze slid from her face to her neck, and then to her fingers hanging by her side. Suddenly, Theodore reached out and grabbed her left hand before Phoebe could

react.

Theodore looked down and saw her empty ring finger. The nameless anger in his heart instantly dissipated.

"Where's the ring?" Theodore asked her.

Phoebe tried to pull her hand back but couldn't. She turned her head away. "I don't know what you're talking about."

A faint smile appeared in Theodore's eyes. Seeing her get out of a taxi alone, Theodore had already guessed the outcome of Edward's grand proposal.

It wasn't until he confirmed that there was no ring on her finger that Theodore's heart finally settled. He held her wrist and leaned back against the streetlamp.

Phoebe took two steps forward, almost bumping into Theodore. Catching a glimpse of the smile on Theodore's face, she said, "I didn't reject Edward because of you."

"I know," Theodore's lips curved slightly, unable to hide his good mood. "The fact that you didn't give him a chance means I still have a chance."

Phoebe's eyes shifted.

"Mr. Reynolds, I've told you I won't accept your pursuit. Just because I rejected Edward doesn't mean you have a chance. You're still someone I've passed on."

Theodore tightened his grip on her wrist. Just as Phoebe was about to pull her hand back, Theodore grabbed her forcefully, pulling her into his arms.
