Forbidden Passion

Chapter 830 Comforting Noodles Before Goodbye

Phoebe took a few bites of the food, finding the taste somewhat familiar. She swallowed and looked at him in surprise, "Did you cook this?"

Back when they were together, Theodore rarely cooked and didn't like strangers coming in and out of the house, so most of the time, it was Phoebe who cooked.

It was rare to taste Theodore's cooking.

Theodore didn't answer her question and said, "Don't try to change the subject."

Seeing his expression, Phoebe thought he must know, and there was no point in hiding it. She said, "I was taken away by the Economic Crime Unit, they said it was to assist in an investigation."

"Superstar Entertainment's money isn't clean?" Theodore asked pointedly, making Phoebe furious.

She glared at him, "If Superstar Entertainment's money wasn't clean, would you still be seeing me here?"

"That's true." Theodore picked up his bowl and continued eating.

He squinted his eyes, thinking that if Phoebe's company had no issues and she was still taken by the Economic Crime Unit, it could only mean someone was targeting her.

They didn't mess with someone's protégé without considering who their protector was. Since when could someone under Theodore's protection be targeted so easily? Phoebe didn't know what he was thinking. After finishing her meal, she felt somewhat better. She looked at Theodore and said, "Since I promised your mom that I would cook for you for a month, I won't go back on my word. If something comes up, the time will be extended. Can you not complain to Evelyn next time?"

"Complain?" Theodore's eyebrows furrowed, and his expression turned cold. "Phoebe, do you think you're still worth my effort?"

Phoebe was so angry at his contemptuous attitude that she had a headache. She knew he resented the existence of the triplets and was very angry with her.

But such words were also hurtful.

She muttered, "I never asked you to put in any effort."

Theodore looked up, his face cold as ice, and said, "What did you say?"
