Forbidden Passion

Chapter 836 Apology from the Financial Crime Unit

In the evening, after Phoebe coaxed Hubert, Boris, and Noomi to sleep, she picked up her tablet to finish the tasks she hadn't completed in the afternoon. Her phone vibrated on the pillow beside her.

She picked it up and saw a WhatsApp message from Theodore, containing only a period.

Phoebe stared at the period, unsure of what Theodore meant, and then saw the typing indicator at the top of the chat box.

She didn't know what was wrong with her, but she found herself staring at the "typing" indicator, wondering what Theodore was going to send her.

Unconsciously, a few minutes passed, then over ten minutes. The typing indicator appeared and disappeared repeatedly, making Phoebe increasingly anxious.

Finally, she couldn't help but send a "?" message. The typing indicator disappeared and didn't reappear for the rest of the night.

Phoebe was speechless; was Theodore messing with her in the middle of the night?

Because of Theodore's antics, Phoebe didn't sleep well all night. The next morning, she went downstairs with dark circles under her eyes. Pamela came out of the kitchen with breakfast and saw her yawning.

"Didn't sleep well last night? Your dark circles are heavy." Pamela placed the Pancakes in front of her.

Tears welled up in Phoebe's eyes, and she shook her head. "There were mosquitoes in the room last night. I spent the whole night trying to kill them."

"No wonder. It looks like you got bitten by mosquitoes. Apply some ointment later." Pamela said, looking at the mosquito bites on her cheeks.

Phoebe and the kids all had delicate skin, and mosquito bites would leave welts that took a long time to disappear.
