Chapter 1384 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (59)
In the following days, Phoebe stayed at Evelyn's house with Theodore for a while. During this time, Aidan never came by, which made her feel uneasy.
Every time she had this thought, Evelyn would comfort her, saying that she sent Aidan photos of Theodore every day, which was why he didn't come to see him.
Although Phoebe knew something was off, she didn't press further. She believed Evelyn wouldn't harm her. If she really held a grudge from the past, she could have taken revenge long ago. But Aidan's prolonged absence still worried her. This worry soon became a reality when she discovered some clues online.
That day, after playing with Theodore, she was in the living room looking at her phone. Suddenly, a news headline appeared on her homepage: [The Lowe Group Heir Suspected to Be Engaged to the Graves Family.]
This news quickly caught Phoebe's attention. If she remembered correctly, the most likely heir to the Lowe Group now was Aidan. She wasn't sure, but her heartbeat quickened uncontrollably.
She reassured herself that it must be fake news, but when she saw the photos in the article, her face turned pale. In the photo, Aidan was standing next to Ariana, very close to her. One photo even clearly showed Aidan holding Ariana in his arms.
Phoebe bit her lip. The person in the photo was Aidan; she couldn't be mistaken. She thought, 'So, Aidan is really going to marry that woman from the Graves family. If that's the case, then what about me? What about our previous intimacy? I thought we were going to be together. Is it all just my wishful thinking?'
After learning the truth, Phoebe suddenly understood why Aidan wanted her to stay at Evelyn's place. He was afraid that her staying at his villa would affect his engagement with Ariana. They had deceived her.
At that moment, Phoebe felt quite frustrated and disappointed. She looked down, wanting to save the photos and confront Aidan. Even if he didn't like her, he should at least make things clear. She didn't want to be left in the dark. But when she looked down at her phone again, the news had already disappeared.
She suddenly understood why she hadn't seen any news about the Lowe family recently. It was all deleted in time, so she couldn't see it and had been deceived for so long.
"Phoebe, the weather is nice today. Let's take Theodore to the park," Evelyn said as she came in from outside. She had come home early from work, thinking of taking Theodore out to play while the weather was good.
She didn't know how long it would take for Aidan to resolve the Lowe family's troubles. The engagement news was already out, so it should be soon.
She also didn't know what Sienna wanted Aidan to do to truly believe him and hoped she wouldn't really want him to marry Ariana. If that were the case, things would get complicated.
Evelyn was momentarily lost in thought. When she looked back at Phoebe, she realized Phoebe was even more lost in thought, as if she hadn't heard her at all. She walked over and patted her on the shoulder. "Phoebe, what are you thinking about?"
Phoebe snapped out of it and turned to look at Evelyn, her face pale and her eyes cold.
Evelyn immediately felt worried. "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
Phoebe didn't speak, looking at Evelyn with mixed feelings. She should have realized earlier that Evelyn would definitely side with Aidan and deceive her together. She realized how foolish she had been.
