Forbidden Passion
Chapter 313 Don't Anger Me

Phoebe raised her lips slightly, a faint trace of mockery glinting in her eyes. "If I tell you that I see your dad cheating, you might not accuse me of making up stories but insulting your dad's reputation." "You..." Theodore said angrily.

Phoebe tilted her head up, facing his angry and irritable gaze. "You have never trusted me. I have nothing more to say to you."

Theodore clenched his fists tightly, the tendons on the back of his hand bulging.

Phoebe could always effortlessly stir up the wild side in Theodore. It was a miracle she hadn't ended up dead at his hands these past three years, and all of this should be thanks to his self-control. "Whether I believe you or not and whether you tell me or not are two different things. Don't mix them up," Theodore said.

Phoebe thought, 'Can there really be such unreasonable people in the world?'

She felt there was no need to continue the conversation. She turned to walk away. Just a few steps later, Theodore grabbed her arm.

She was furious. How many times did Theodore want to grab her in one night?

Phoebe pushed away Theodore's hand, glaring at him. "Don't you have anything else to do? If you're so free, go find Vanessa. Vanessa would probably welcome you."

Theodore gritted his teeth, his voice bursting out from between his teeth. "Phoebe, don't anger me. Don't think I won't go find Vanessa."

"Go ahead. Since you'd go out of your way to find Vanessa even when she was miles away. Now that she's in Kedora, it's way more convenient for you." Phoebe became angrier as she spoke, her eyes turning red. Theodore was shocked. "I have never gone to find Vanessa elsewhere."

Phoebe bit her lip, not wanting to continue. It would only make her seem pitiful. She turned to walk away again, but this time, Theodore directly blocked her path with a swift step.

"Explain to me," Theodore shouted.

Phoebe remembered it so clearly because it was all during holidays, especially Valentine's Day and Christmas when Theodore would fly far to visit Vanessa.

Such persistent affection even moved Phoebe.

Theodore looked at Phoebe in surprise. "How do you remember this so clearly?"

Phoebe turned awkwardly, wanting to pass Theodore, but he blocked her way again. She was very angry, shaking all over.

"Why do I remember this so clearly? You go see your ex-lover, not even trying to hide it from me. You come back and throw the plane ticket on the table. I'm not blind," Phoebe replied angrily. Theodore's original anger was extinguished by Phoebe's sarcastic remarks. He looked at her calmly and asked, "Are you jealous?"

Phoebe looked a bit surprised.

Theodore stared at her face intently, not missing any expression, and said, "Are you really jealous? I think you are indifferent."

Theodore deliberately let her see the ticket. The first time he came back from out of town, he stuffed the ticket into his suit pocket, but Phoebe didn't react at all.

He hinted a few times, but Phoebe seemed not to notice. Later, he deliberately threw it on the table, thinking as long as Phoebe wasn't blind, she would definitely see it.

At that moment, Theodore realized that Phoebe had clearly seen it but never asked him about it, indicating she didn't care at all.

Phoebe felt annoyed looking at Theodore's smug face. She pretended to be fierce, staring at him. "I can't possibly be jealous."

Theodore instantly became displeased. "Phoebe, watch your words."

Phoebe pursed her lips. "You only have others in your heart, and you expect me to be jealous. Am I particularly stupid and ridiculous in your eyes?"

She walked past Theodore. "I'm not jealous. I remember because it happened to be a holiday."

Because it was an important holiday, Theodore's absence made it particularly sad.

Phoebe paused for a moment, then changed the subject. "Also, your mom still doesn't know about your dad's affair. I don't want to tell her, you go ahead." It was best for Theodore to handle the tricky situation, at least to prepare Taylor.

Theodore didn't expect Phoebe to bring this up again. His face darkened. "I can't tell her. This kind of thing is a blow to both of us, especially to my mom."

"This matter can't be hidden forever. Your dad wants to host a party to introduce me, just to shut us up. We've been secretly married for three years. I don't care much about being public or not, but if Bishop and his mother cause trouble at the party, it will be embarrassing for both of us," said Phoebe.

Since Phoebe could think of it, Theodore had naturally thought of it too, but he had no intention of stopping it. Yet, hearing Phoebe say she didn't care about making their relationship public really ticked him off. Phoebe thought Theodore's wanting to make their relationship public was foolish behavior.

"Phoebe, when do you become so scheming?" Theodore asked.

Phoebe was very angry. She was considering Theodore, but he accused her of being scheming. "Fine, do whatever you want." Theodore didn't care about his mom's feelings, and Phoebe didn't need to worry either, as he wouldn't appreciate it. Phoebe left angrily.

Theodore didn't chase after her. He took out a cigarette, lit it, and smoked one after another, unable to stop his worsening mood.

Phoebe returned to the third floor and saw Madison standing at the bedroom door.

Madison seemed to have cried, and when she saw Phoebe, her eyes were full of resentment and hatred. Phoebe walked over, but Madison suddenly reached out and grabbed her arm. Phoebe turned to look at Madison, seeing the hatred in her eyes.

"What did you say to my dad to make him protect you like that?" asked Madison.

Phoebe didn't know how Brandon had influenced Madison, nor did she care. She pushed the door open to go in, but Madison suddenly grabbed her arm.

Phoebe turned to look at Madison, seeing the hatred in her eyes.

Madison asked another question, "The night before your miscarriage, did you sleep with Edward?"

Phoebe frowned. In Madison's eyes, she vaguely saw a hint of madness, which made her heart race. "Madison..."

Before Phoebe could finish her sentence, Madison suddenly spat at her. Luckily, she dodged quickly, avoiding it on her face but getting some on her clothes.

Her gaze turned sharp. "Apologize to me!"

Madison forcefully pushed Phoebe's arm away, viciously saying, "Phoebe, a woman like you doesn't deserve my brother. I'm telling you, from today on, I won't let you have a single comfortable day in the Reynolds family!" After that, she turned and left.

Phoebe looked down at her clothes, feeling angry. Madison was getting vulgar, just like a farmer in the countryside.
