Forbidden Passion
Chapter 310 What Are You Trembling For?

Phoebe was startled by this gaze. She was not an ignorant girl and had been stared at like this by Theodore countless times.

HIs burning, hooking eyes seemed to be burning flames, wanting to devour Phoebe.

Phoebe instinctively struggled but couldn't break free from Theodore's grip.

The sense of crisis in Phoebe's heart suddenly became stronger.

Theodore captured her restless hands with one hand and pressed them against her head, his hot breath teasing her ear, causing her to tremble uncontrollably.

A low, hoarse laughter sounded above her head. "What are you trembling for, afraid I'll eat you?"

Phoebe turned her head away. The atmosphere at this moment was extremely ambiguous as if it was about to ignite, her cheeks and ears blushing.

"I'm not afraid at all." Phoebe tried to sound tough but didn't realize her voice was tinged with nervous stuttering. She wanted to use the same tactics as she did against Mr. Tompson last time, but her legs were firmly pinned down by Theodore, rendering her unable to move.

The man in front of her was not Mr. Tompson!

Alarm bells rang in Phoebe's mind. Theodore turned her face with one hand, carefully examining her expression. His handsome face gradually enlarged in her pupils.

The distance between Theodore and Phoebe was so close that their breaths intertwined.

Theodore stared at her lips so close, his eyes darkened, only his pupils flickering with an unusually intense light.

In the eyes of outsiders, Theodore was serious, aloof, and gentlemanly, but only he knew that in his inner secret world, there was another him, extremely longing for love.

He wanted to lock Phoebe away, where only he could see and touch her.

His evil thoughts were so heavy, so fanatical; if released, would they scare Phoebe?

Phoebe would definitely think Theodore was a pervert.

Theodore's gaze grew deeper, looking at her lips so close, she seemed extremely uneasy, gently biting her lower lip.

Her pitiful yet adorable appearance multiplied Theodore's desires, eventually eroding his rationality.

Theodore lowered his head. A knock at the door sounded, and he paused in his actions. "Who is it?"

Taking advantage of Theodore's momentary distraction, Phoebe used all her strength to break free from him, rolling on the floor. Just as she got up from the ground, the door was pushed open by someone.

"Theodore, come down..." Madison saw her brother's expression clearly and immediately stopped talking.

Her brother was still half kneeling on the ground while Phoebe was frantically turning away, her clothes disheveled, looking quite disheveled.

Even though Madison had not experienced sexual activities, the online novels she had read over the years told her that her brother and Phoebe were definitely engaging in sexual activities.

Madison's face turned awkward. "I don't see anything. I just came to call you down for dinner." After that, she turned and ran.

If she didn't run at this time, she might be scolded by Theodore.

However, Phoebe was truly shameless.

'It isn't even evening yet, and Phoebe is seducing Theodore, playing so openly. No wonder Vanessa is no match for her,' thought Madison as she walked downstairs. Fortunately, she arrived in time to interrupt them. Tomorrow, when she went to the company, she would definitely receive praise from Vanessa.

Happily descending the stairs, Madison's phone vibrated in her bag a few times. She took it out to check the message, but her expression turned unpleasant.

In the bedroom, Phoebe tidied herself up, rubbing the sore spot on her lower back where she had fallen.

Theodore had already stood up from the ground. Seeing Phoebe rubbing her back, he asked, "Do you hurt yourself from the fall?"

The floor was covered with thick carpets, but Phoebe had rolled directly off the sofa, landing on her back, which was still a bit painful. Phoebe bit her lip, avoiding Theodore's outstretched hand, trying to help her rub. "Let's go eat, shall we?"

After speaking, Phoebe walked around the table towards the door.

Theodore looked down at his hand suspended in mid-air, slowly clenched it into a fist, then turned and silently followed Phoebe downstairs.

At the dining table, only Brandon's family and Sarah were present.

The other relatives were not there, and Evelyn seemed much more relaxed.

The Reynolds family's dining table was rectangular, with Sarah sitting in the chair. To her left were Brandon, Taylor, Christopher, and Madison. To her right were Evelyn, Phoebe, and Theodore, with the table full of dishes. Sarah warmly entertained Evelyn, asking her not to be restrained. It was the first time Evelyn had sat face-to-face with Brandon like this, and she still felt a bit uncomfortable.

Phoebe sat next to Evelyn, helping her with the fork and other utensils. With Phoebe's assistance, Evelyn finally stopped being so nervous and ate in silence.

Halfway through the meal, Taylor said, "Evelyn, we want to discuss something with you."

Evelyn immediately put down her fork and sat upright like a disciplined student. "Go ahead."

Seeing this, Taylor smiled gently. "Don't be nervous. Just listen while you eat. If you're like this, I'll get nervous too."

Evelyn awkwardly smiled at Taylor, then picked up her fork again but didn't dare to continue eating, her movements stiff and uncomfortable.

Phoebe sighed. She knew that even though Evelyn tried hard to get her to marry into a wealthy family, in Evelyn's heart, the Reynolds family was still so unattainable.

They were worlds apart.

Madison sat opposite Phoebe and Evelyn and immediately noticed Evelyn's awkward demeanor. She sneered inwardly, thinking, 'A servant doesn't deserve to sit at the same table and eat with us.'

She glanced at Taylor again, feeling her mother was being way too polite to Evelyn. "Mom used to look down on Evelyn all the time, how come she's invited her over for dinner now? Aren't she worried about her stinking up our place? And Phoebe, after what she did to my brother, how can she still have the nerve to stay in our house?"

Seeing Evelyn relax, Taylor said gently, "Theodore and Phoebe have been married for over three years now, and we haven't held a wedding for them. I want to host a party for them first, introduce Phoebe to everyone, and then have a wedding ceremony. What do you think?"

In fact, this matter was decided by the Reynolds family. By inviting Evelyn over, they truly valued Phoebe.

Evelyn was very observant and also understood that Taylor genuinely accepted Phoebe, hence treating her so carefully.

She turned her head to look at her daughter, her expression particularly excited. 'Phoebe can finally end her hidden marriage status.'

"It's all good. I also have a suggestion. You decide, and if it's too much trouble, there's no need to make a big deal out of it," Evelyn said.

Although Evelyn said it very politely, she was also afraid that Taylor would really find it troublesome. If they decided not to hold the wedding, Evelyn would be very sad.

She nervously looked at Taylor, fearing that if Taylor found it troublesome, she might decide not to hold the wedding.

Little did she know that before Taylor could speak, Madison said, "I object. Phoebe has been in our family for three years, so why bother with another wedding? It's too much trouble."
