Chapter 1083

Ever since Phoebe regained consciousness, this was the first time she had seen Howard look so sad.

“Forget it. Let’s drop the matter. I went out without telling you beforehand, which made you worry, so I apologize.”

“Phoebe, that’s really good to hear. Next time, you must tell me before leaving. Bring two bodyguards for protection and send me a message, okay?”

Phoebe remained silent..

Having two bodyguards around all the time and constantly watching her every move made her feel uncomfortable. However, seeing Howard’s gloomy expression, she agreed.

Howard was already satisfied that she had agreed to inform him beforehand.

“Okay. Let’s go with that.”
