Forbidden Passion

Chapter 826 Phoebe Finds Donovan

Phoebe took Ethan back to the villa area. Ethan, sitting next to her, noticed that

Phoebe didn't look well and cautiously asked, "Aunt Phoebe, aren't we picking up Mom from work?"

"Your mom is already off work. We might have missed her earlier, but we'll see her when we get home," Phoebe replied.

"Okay," Ethan said, a bit disappointed, turning his head to look at the night scenery outside the window.

The car stopped outside the villa, and Phoebe got out with Ethan, just in time to see Ruby walking over from another path.

She was massaging her shoulder, looking very tired.

Phoebe waited at the door, and when Ruby looked up and saw them, she quickly walked over. Ethan excitedly ran into her arms.

Ruby picked him up and kissed him on the cheek. "Ethan, did you listen to Grandma today?"

"Yes, I even helped her with the housework," Ethan said proudly.

Ruby praised him a bit and then noticed Phoebe's unhappy expression. She thought something had happened. "Phoebe, what's wrong?"

Phoebe stared at her for a moment and then said to Ethan, "Ethan, go inside first. I need to talk to your mom for a bit. We'll come in soon."

"Okay," Ethan sensed the tension, slid down from Ruby's arms, and went inside.

Phoebe looked at Ruby and said, "I took Ethan to the industrial park to pick you up from work tonight. Guess what your colleagues said?"

Ruby's face turned pale, knowing her lie had been exposed.

Phoebe paused, "So, where exactly do you work, and what are you doing?"
