Chapter 104

Author: River Fish
Evan frowned almost imperceptibly. The old Phoebe would've followed Connor's instructions to a T, but Evan didn't think that was the case anymore.

He had also noticed that after making up her mind about the divorce, Phoebe was no longer the same person she had been before, whether inside or out.

Perhaps the main difference was that Phoebe's eyes used to light up only when she looked at Connor. But now, she was radiant at all times.

Evan couldn't help clutching his chest at that thought. He wa

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 598

    Laura still found herself instinctively thinking of Phoebe as Connor's wife. And when she accidentally addressed Phoebe as "Mrs. Russell", Connor had never corrected her.She tried her best to catch herself, though.What puzzled her most was how, after the divorce, Connor's food preferences became less extreme. He used to be super picky, but he now puts up with anything that wasn't downright horrible.Of course, anything that was expected of Laura, she still needed to do. Connor was in the study; she made him a cup of tea.When she pushed the door open, she found him turning a beautiful pine-tree glass over in his hands. It jogged her memory at once. It was the glass Phoebe had smashed in two. Connor had sent it for restoration and now kept it here in his study.He only noticed Laura when she set the tea on his desk. He frowned. "Why didn't you knock?""I-I did," she stammered.His frown deepened, and his expression darkened. He set the glass down and picked up the teacup instea

  • Better Brother, Better Life   Chapter 597

    Being with Gideon made Phoebe understand that she'd never really dated before.In a real relationship, one was supposed to be able to say when they were happy and when they were hurt. They weren't supposed to swallow everything because they were afraid the other person wouldn't respond at all.Because Gideon always responded to her. He gave her the comfort and reassurance that she needed as fast as he could. In this relationship, Phoebe had gotten to know herself better and seen just how emotionally closed off she'd been in the past.She'd never said these things out loud before, but under Gideon's gently nudging and encouragement, she finally took that step. She looked into his eyes and said, "Fine. I was staking my claim."Once she said it, she let out a long breath. Honestly, saying it felt pretty good, so she added, "I wanted Jacqueline to know that you're mine. It's fine if she has a crush on you, but that's all it can ever be because I'm not going to let her take you from me.

    Gideon fell silent for a beat. Then, he took Phoebe's hand and pulled her up from the couch. "Are you really going to be this bad to me?"Phoebe shot back, "Yes, I am!"He grabbed her other hand and slid them both around him to rest behind his waist, taking the chance to wrap his arms around her as well. He slowly stroked her back in a blatant invitation. "Come on, then. Show me just how bad you can be."Her skin was nowhere near as thick as his. The fact that someone normally so proper was suddenly saying such shameless things made it even harder to handle. She buried her face in his chest and pinched his back.He chuckled and just held her for a while. "I can't bear to leave you. Don't kick me out, okay?"She burrowed even deeper against him. After a moment, she lifted her head. "Bend down."He obediently dipped his head.Phoebe cupped Gideon's face in both hands, her gaze dropping to his lips. She rose on tiptoe and kissed his soft lips. Whenever they were pressed against her

    Gideon had just gotten what he wanted, so he was now on his best behavior and saying exactly what Phoebe wanted to hear. "Don't worry. I won't do anything."Right now, he'd pulled himself back into that proper, ascetic mode she knew so well—the clean, controlled version of him, cool and restrained. An air of abstinence was written all over him. His attention was focused entirely on her wrist and forearm as he carefully massaged them.No matter what he did, that steady, composed presence of his made others feel like they could rely on him. But just now…Damn. Phoebe really did like that other side of Gideon, but he'd definitely blown past what she thought she could handle.She stared at him, unconvinced. "I don't think I can just take your word for it."Gideon actually thought about it seriously, then gave her an answer. "I can control how long it takes."She shot back, "And did you do that just now?"He said casually, "You were helping me, and I got excited. If I handle it mysel

    Phoebe pointed at Gideon and warned, "Don't you dare make fun of me."Her tone was meant to be stern, but she was in such a good mood that it came out more like a playful whine. That only made her face turn redder.Gideon didn't say a single word. He just pulled her close and lowered his head to seal her lips with his. The kiss was wild, and they tumbled all the way to the couch.She ended up pinned beneath him. She could clearly feel him losing control, which only thrilled her more. So, he really did have a weakness for her acting cutesy.His hand slid under the hem of her shirt. He kneaded and pressed; his grip wasn't exactly gentle. His lips brushed her ear as he murmured, voice low and rough, "Can I kiss you there?"Phoebe's eyes flew open when she heard how deep his voice had gone. His gaze was so scorching that it made her whole body go weak. She cupped his face, her fingertip tracing over his lips. She liked Gideon—really liked him. And so, even though she was scared, she c

    Phoebe felt like she'd been struck by lightning again. This time, the bolt was even worse. She went rigid and stammered, "T-That's impossible. Isn't it?"Gideon was clearly in a great mood; he radiated it from head to toe. He said huskily, "Doesn't happen every day."Then, he deliberately added, "You've been extra clingy since we got home."Phoebe followed his train of thought. Ever since they'd gotten home, she'd been wrapped around him, stuck to him like a conjoined twin. Thinking back on it now…She suddenly felt so embarrassed that her cheeks burned. She muttered stubbornly, "I wasn't being clingy."But the more she denied it, the less confident she sounded. The clinginess was just what it looked like on the surface. The truth was, she really relied on Gideon.Normally, she would never act like this. Most of the time, she just went along with what he wanted. He was the one who loved being intimate and loved kissing her everywhere.So… was this technically all thanks to Geral

    Laura was close to being scared out of her wits. She stammered, "M-Mrs. Russell… S-She said that she wasn't coming back anymore…"Connor's expression turned steely.Once again, Laura felt the air thicken with tension. This was seriously the first time she'd seen Connor like this."She sounded lik

That was why he was so determined to make something of it.But now, he suddenly changed his mind. It was something that even he himself hadn't expected. His world seemed to

    Phoebe had only said such things because she just couldn't stand how awful Connor was acting. She hadn't expected Gideon to show up at that point.He had silently come up behind her, covered her eyes, and taken her hand. It reminded her of the suit jacket with his warmth that he'd thrown over her s

    Phoebe went still. Her mind went blank before a thought took shape. It seemed that the three years she'd spent being pathetic had been for nothing.With that, she slapped Connor in the face. The force of her slap wasn't brutal, but it got him squarely. He was still reeling from that first one when
