Chapter 1395 Extra: Aidan and Phoebe (70)
Aidan drove the car to the front of Evelyn's villa but didn't rush to get out or unlock the doors. It was clear he wanted to talk to Phoebe a bit longer.
However, Phoebe clearly didn't want to chat. "I want to leave with Theodore."
She was a bit scared, worried that Aidan would marry Ariana and want custody of Theodore. She no longer believed in love. The only thing she could trust now was Theodore.
Hearing this, Aidan's grip tightened involuntarily. "Phoebe, the engagement is just for show to Sienna. I have no interest in Ariana."
"Who knows? People change. You once said you weren't interested in me either," Phoebe replied.
Aidan wanted to continue explaining, but Phoebe didn't intend to give him the chance. "Let me and Theodore leave first. If things are really as you say, then come find us after you've sorted everything out."
If Aidan didn't come looking for them by then, it would explain everything, and she wouldn't hold any more expectations.
Aidan understood that Phoebe had made up her mind and he couldn't change it. He could only say, "Okay, but you must have someone I arrange by your side."
Phoebe frowned, clearly unwilling.
"Even if you don't care about your own safety, you have to consider Theodore's. Sienna is definitely watching you two. If she gets the chance, she won't let it go easily," Aidan said, also fearing that after the Lowe family went bankrupt, Sienna might act desperately.
Hearing this, Phoebe finally didn't continue to refuse. "Fine."
Phoebe then got out of the car, packed her things from Evelyn's villa, and left with Theodore to a house she had lived in before. But she wouldn't stay there long; she decided to move to another city.
Evelyn watched Phoebe move out, a bit taken aback, and asked, "Aidan, didn't you explain clearly?"
"I did, but she doesn't want to believe me now," Aidan sighed.
Dermot was also nearby. Hearing this, he wasn't surprised. He had told Aidan yesterday to be honest, but he didn't listen.
"Well, since that's the case, you can only resolve the issues with the Lowe family as soon as possible." She could understand Phoebe's distrust. If it were her, she might make the same decision.
Aidan nodded. "I will, but in the meantime, I'll need you to keep an eye on her."
Although he would send bodyguards, the Lowe family wasn't simple either. He was still worried about Phoebe and Theodore's safety.
"Don't worry. As long as I'm here, no one will dare to touch Phoebe and Theodore." Evelyn was confident in this regard.
Aidan trusted Evelyn, so he wasn't too worried. What he needed to do now was resolve the Lowe family issues as quickly as possible. Otherwise, no matter how much he explained to Phoebe, he couldn't gain her trust.
The news of Phoebe moving out of Evelyn's villa quickly spread, reaching both Sienna and Ariana.
Although Aidan hadn't shown any affection for Phoebe, Sienna and Ariana were still uneasy, so they both thought Phoebe should be eliminated.
However, there was a difference between Sienna and Ariana. Ariana wanted to kill Phoebe and the illegitimate Theodore, but Sienna only wanted to deal with Phoebe. She wanted to bring Theodore back to the Lowe family and raise him herself, hoping he might achieve something in the future.
Therefore, both Sienna and Ariana sent people to act, but clearly, their actions wouldn't succeed. Not to mention Aidan's bodyguards around Phoebe, even the people Evelyn sent would be enough to thwart them.
Sienna and Ariana were angry but helpless. They couldn't afford to offend Evelyn. After all, she now had more than just the Kyte family backing her.
