Forbidden Passion

Chapter 786 He Won't Accept The Kids

At this late hour, the streetlights in front of the villa illuminated their faces. Theodore looked at her flushed cheeks and leaned down towards her.

Suddenly, the door behind them opened. Evelyn stood at the doorway, and upon seeing the two outside, she swallowed back the "Edward" that was on the tip of her tongue.

"Theodore?"

Theodore's movements suddenly froze. He straightened up and looked at Evelyn, who hadn't changed much. "Evelyn."

Phoebe heard Theodore call out to Evelyn so naturally, as if they had never divorced, and she felt a strange stir in her heart.

Evelyn was also taken aback by the call, then responded, "It's so late, have you eaten? Why don't you come in and sit for a while?"

"Mom!" Phoebe quickly stopped her. "It's too late, and the house is quite messy. It's not convenient to have guests."

Phoebe gave Evelyn a look, and Evelyn instantly snapped back to reality. How could she have been so carried away by Theodore's call? If she really invited Theodore in, the three kids would be exposed.

"Yes, yes, it is quite late. Maybe next time," Evelyn said with an awkward smile.

Theodore's gaze swept over the two of them before he finally said gently, "Then I'll come by next time. Phoebe, go inside."

Phoebe lifted her skirt and stepped into the door, pulling Evelyn in with her and closing the door quickly, afraid that Theodore might force his way in if she delayed.

Once the door was closed, she leaned against the wall, her legs weak, almost collapsing.

Outside, there was no sound of Theodore leaving for a long time. After a while, footsteps finally sounded, and it wasn't until Theodore's steps faded into the distance that Phoebe breathed a sigh of relief.

Evelyn also recovered from her fright. She glared at Phoebe and whispered, "Phoebe, are you crazy? How could you bring Theodore here?"
