Forbidden Passion
Chapter 622 An Unexpected Encounter with Theodore at the Airport

The cab had barely pulled away when Phoebe's phone buzzed. It was Evelyn. "Mom, seriously? I just left like ten minutes ago."

Evelyn cut her off, "Phoebe, have you put on some pounds lately? Your belly's kinda sticking out."

Phoebe glanced down at her slightly rounded tummy, her heart skipped a beat, but she played dumb, "Really?"

"I'm telling you, you gotta watch your figure. Just 'cause you're divorced doesn't mean you can let yourself go. If you meet a guy you like, he'll bolt the second he sees that belly," Evelyn warned. Phoebe was at a loss for words.

Her heart raced, worried Evelyn might've picked up on something more.

But the doc had said she was infertile for life, so Evelyn probably wouldn't think that way. Plus, being single, Evelyn wouldn't suspect a thing.

Phoebe joked, "Got it. You take care too, and don't stay up all night playing cards. If you kick the bucket, I won't make it back in time." "Alright, I'm hanging up." Evelyn snapped and ended the call, heading back into the community.

Phoebe sighed, pocketed her phone, and stared out the window at the towering Reynolds Group building. Suddenly, she felt a flutter in her belly. She froze and placed a hand on her lower abdomen.

It wasn't her imagination; her belly really moved. The three babies, who had been so quiet, were now stirring inside her.

The tiny movements under her palm almost brought her to tears.

She looked up, and the Reynolds Group building was now far behind. The fluttering had stopped, like it was just a figment of her imagination.

The car pulled up at Kedora International Terminal. Phoebe lugged two big suitcases through security, spotting Cindy waiting in the terminal hall.

"I just checked in. Hand over your stuff; I'll take care of the baggage check," Cindy said, grabbing the suitcases and heading to the counter. They breezed through the procedures and made their way to the security checkpoint.

After clearing security, Phoebe and Cindy were chatting as they walked. Suddenly, Phoebe felt eyes on her. She glanced around discreetly. Her gaze locked with Theodore's, and she froze.

Theodore? What was he doing here?

It had been two months since their last run-in at the hospital. Standing next to him was the girl she had seen there.

Phoebe later found out her name was Sandra Ramirez, from the Ramirez Group and Bianca's sister. Sandra had been chasing after Theodore recently. Phoebe and Theodore's eyes met, and her heart pounded like crazy. She quickly looked away and kept walking with Cindy, though her steps were awkward. Cindy noticed Theodore and Sandra too. Sensing Phoebe's gloom, she clenched her fist and shook it at Theodore defiantly.

She mouthed "I'll smash your head in."

Sandra, standing close to Theodore but not holding his arm this time, looked pretty cozy with him.

Seeing Cindy's gesture, Sandra couldn't hold back, "Theodore, who is that chick? How dare she shake her fist at you? Is she nuts?"

Theodore ignored Sandra, his eyes glued to Phoebe. He couldn't help but notice Phoebe's waist had gotten curvier, missing the slimness it once had.

"I can't believe Theodore found someone new so fast!" Cindy scoffed, "He used to act like he'd never marry again after you."

Phoebe sighed, "We're divorced, Cindy. It's normal to move on. Life doesn't stop, right?"

"Phoebe, don't you feel anything?" Cindy pressed.

Phoebe paused, feeling a dull ache in her chest, "I was the one who pushed for the divorce. I can't blame him. Anyway, the announcement says it's time to board." Cindy saw the stubborn look on her face and wrapped an arm around her shoulders, "Alright, let's drop it. We should board."

Time flew by, and two years zipped past. Summer in Kedora was scorching, and Mantua Stadium was buzzing with a concert.

This wasn't just any concert; it was the farewell gig for Noah's group, which was breaking up. Fans packed the stadium, their screams and tears filling the air. Noah danced, his stage presence more polished and magnetic than two years ago, every move mesmerizing.

Fans screamed and cried, chanting the group's name, begging them not to disband.

But this was always a limited-time deal. They debuted here three summers ago, and now, three summers later, they were calling it quits.

Phoebe got an invite to the concert. She sat in the front row, rocking a black silk dress, no jewelry.

The camera occasionally panned to her, but Phoebe didn't care, her eyes glued to the stage.

After a song, Noah took off his mask, revealing his handsome face, and the fans went wild.

Noah's perfect dance moves paused for three seconds. He stood still, his gaze locked on Phoebe in the front row. She looked even more stunning than three years ago.

Noah adjusted his mic, staring at Phoebe without blinking. He took a deep breath and said, "Three years ago today, I debuted here with my friends. The person I'm most grateful to is my agent, Phoebe. Three years later, standing here, the person I'm still most grateful to is her."

Cameras immediately zoomed in on Phoebe. The big screen on stage split in two, one side showing Noah, fresh from his dance, and the other showing the calm and collected Phoebe.

Phoebe just watched Noah intently, giving him a slight nod, her face almost expressionless, but her features and skin held up under the high-def cameras.

"What a stunning agent! With looks like that, she could be an artist herself."

"Yeah, remember what she looked like three years ago? She's totally transformed, like a powerful CEO."

"I heard she's Noah's new boss. With that vibe, I'm definitely becoming her fan."

Noah looked at Phoebe, emotions swirling inside him. Finally, he bowed deeply to her and left the stage, the stadium erupting in applause.

Phoebe slipped out of the stadium before the concert ended. Fans were everywhere outside. She wore a black mask and made a quick exit. In the car, the driver glanced at her, "Ms. Ziegler, heading home?"

"Yeah."

The low-key car drove away from the stadium. Phoebe looked at the LED screen on a nearby mall, which was broadcasting the farewell concert live. Noah and his teammates were giving emotional goodbyes. Even through the car window, she could hear the fans' heartbroken cries.
