Chapter 787 The Source of Courage

Cindy was incredulous, "Phoebe, does this mean you and Edward are now enemies? What are you going to do?"

"I don't know," Phoebe said, troubled.

"Forget it, Edward will come around," Cindy comforted her. They chatted for a while longer before ending the video call.

Phoebe came out of the walk-in closet and returned to bed, where she gently placed the disheveled Hubert, Boris, and Noomi back on their little pillows and covered them with blankets.

In her sleep, Noomi called out "Mommy." Phoebe smiled, and all her fatigue vanished. With Hubert, Boris, and Noomi by her side, what did she have to fear?

No matter what would happen next, she would face it bravely and never back down.

The next morning, Phoebe walked out of her bedroom. The door next to hers opened, and Ruby came out, dressed in a shirt and jeans, clearly ready to go out.

"Morning, Ruby."

"Morning," Ruby replied, walking downstairs with her. "I saw the video of Edward proposing to you. It was so romantic. Are you two going to get married?"

Phoebe shook her head, "No."

"Why not?" Ruby asked, puzzled.

Phoebe walked down the stairs, her hand on the railing, "I didn't say yes."

Ruby paused, looking at Phoebe's tall figure, and hesitantly asked, "Is it because of Theodore?"

"No, it's because we're not right for each other," Phoebe glanced back at her. "Enough about me. How have you been these past few days? Is work tiring?"

Ruby looked down guiltily, "Not tiring. The boss is pretty nice."

"That's good."
