Chapter 1394 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (69)
Phoebe felt very uncomfortable during the meal, but she persisted until the end without showing any inappropriate emotions.
After dinner, the four of them walked to the entrance of the mall.
Aidan went to get the car first, while the others stood together, watching his departing figure. Ariana turned to Phoebe and said, "I heard you used to like Aidan."
"That's in the past. Let's not talk about it." Phoebe didn't want to discuss it, fearing that Ariana might find that she still liked Aidan. She mainly worried about affecting Aidan's plans.
Ariana smiled. "You're right. The past is the past. You have such a good personality, so you'll definitely find someone more suitable in the future."
Phoebe pressed her lips together and said nothing.
Not far away, Aidan had already driven the car over, and Ariana was about to get in. Before getting in, she suddenly turned back to Phoebe and said, "In a few days, Aidan and I are having our engagement party. If you have time, you're welcome to come and witness our happiness."
With that, she got into the passenger seat, not caring about Phoebe's reaction.
The car started and disappeared from Phoebe's sight. Her eyes seemed to lose focus as she stared in the direction the car had gone, feeling lost.
Evelyn couldn't help but want to curse. She knew Ariana was trying to make Phoebe even more upset.
"Phoebe." Evelyn gritted her teeth, very worried about Phoebe's current state.
Phoebe snapped out of it and looked at Evelyn beside her. "Is what she said true?"
Phoebe thought, 'Aidan and Ariana are getting engaged? Just yesterday, Aidan had said he wouldn't marry Ariana, so how could it change today?'In Aidan's mind, it was just an engagement, not a real marriage. But to Phoebe, an engagement meant they would eventually get married.
"Aidan has no choice. Sienna won't give him power unless he gets engaged to Ariana," Evelyn tried hard to explain for Aidan.
Phoebe had completely lost trust in Aidan. "No choice? Yeah, it's so hard for him." With a bitter smile, she walked away step by step.
Evelyn worried about her safety but didn't want to disturb her, so she silently followed behind.
Before Aidan started the car, he actually heard what Ariana said to Phoebe, but he could only control himself to drive away.
After dropping Ariana off at home, he rushed back immediately. Evelyn had sent him Phoebe's location in time, so he quickly found her.
Phoebe was walking on the street, not even knowing where she should go. Until a car horn sounded beside her, she turned her head and saw Aidan's face, and her anger seemed to flare up instantly. She quickened her pace, not wanting to see him for even a moment.
Seeing this, Aidan had to park the car and quickly catch up to her, grabbing her arm. "Phoebe!"
"Let go of me!" Phoebe tried to break free but to no avail.
Aidan knew she was upset, so he quickly explained, "It's just an engagement. Once I'm engaged, I can quickly gain control of the Lowe Group and resolve the Lowe family issues."
"Really? What if I don't believe you?" Aidan always said that, but she had already lost trust in him.
Aidan panicked, especially seeing Phoebe like this. "Get in the car first, I'll take you home."
"No need!"
"Theodore is waiting for you at home," Aidan said.
At that, Phoebe instantly became a bit more clear-headed. She thought, 'Yes, I still have Theodore. How can I feel completely hopeless because of Aidan? Even without him, I have to live well with Theodore.'
