Phoebe stared at Roan with her eyes wide open.
Collin and Stanford?
She wanted both of the two?
What the hell?
She couldn’t get any of them, let alone two.
Thinking of the fact that Roan thought high of Collin so much these days, Phoebe felt a headache and thought it was necessary to explain it clearly.
She said helplessly, “Dad, you misunderstood. Collin and I are just ordinary friends.”
“Do you think I will believe you?”
With a serious look on his face, Roan said in a resolute tone, “you’d better make a clean break with Stanford now. Anyway, I won’t allow you to be with him. Collin is a good boy. We can’t do anything to hurt him.”
Phoebe couldn’t help twitch her mouth. She was helpless.
She had nothing to do with Stanford. She needn’t to make a clean break with him.
Let alone Collin. There was nothing to be sorry for. She and he were pure and they wouldn’t have any relationship.
But looking at her father’s determined look, Phoebe felt helpless.
She said speechlessly, “Collin and Stanford are just my friends. Believe it or not, I have nothing to do with them.”
Seeing that Phoebe was still denying the relationship between the two, Roan was annoyed again.
It was not that he didn’t believe his daughter, but that her words were completely untrustworthy.
He had seen how intimate she was with Collin that night. And he had seen how intimate she was with Stanford just now.
He didn’t believe that she had nothing to do with them.
Roan said seriously, “It doesn’t matter. Go back to sleep. Don’t go downstairs alone in the evening.”
“I haven’t finished my noodles yet. I’m going to have some,” said Phoebe gloomily
“You eat all days. No wonder you are so fat. Go to bed now. Don’t eat anything.”
Roan ordered in a stern tone.
He knew that she didn’t want to have noodles but was actually going to see Stanford.
She didn’t give up, and he wouldn’t give her the chance.
Although his daughter had grown up, he still had to deal with this kind of principle in person.
“Dad, I’m hungry…”
“You won’t be hungry if you fall asleep.”
Roan grabbed Phoebe’s hand and walked towards the elevator.
Phoebe was really depressed. Her father was so unreasonable.
Although she was unwilling, Phoebe still didn’t change her father’s mind and her father pushed her into the bedroom.
Roan stood at the door and warned her.
“If you dare to come out behind my back, I will send you abroad for further study immediately.”
Phoebe was speechless. She had graduated for many years, but he still threatened her with this.
That was enough.
But she was really threatened.
Although Roan was usually amiable, he had a strong sense of principle. Once he made a decision, he would do it.
It was a piece of cake for him to send her abroad for further study.
She had to help Florence deal with Kieran. She couldn’t be sent abroad.
Feeling depressed, Phoebe had to stay in the room obediently.
But her heart had already flown out.
Stanford must be eating noodles in the dining room now. The noodles were not delicious and he was picky about food. She didn’t know if he could make do with it.
In fact, she should have cooked another bowl for him, but now she was locked in the room.
She was annoyed and upset, feeling that what happened tonight was really a little messy.
She didn’t know how to tell Stanford that she couldn’t go to the dining room anymore.
It was impolite to leave without saying goodbye.
The relationship between her and Stanford was always cold and indifferent. They finally could get along with each other a little naturally because of cooking noodles and eating midnight snack.
But in this case, wouldn’t it be more embarrassed?
Phoebe scratched her hair irritably.
She was thinking about what to do. Should she say sorry to Stanford or something else?
When Phoebe was hesitating, her phone suddenly rang.
It was a notice form wechat.
Stanford: Phoebe, do you still want to eat?
Phoebe looked at the message in surprise. She didn’t expect that Stanford would ask her.
Was he waiting for her after seeing her leave for too long?
It was really impolite for her to leave like this.
Phoebe was about to make an apology when another message popped up on the screen.
Stanford: the noodles are getting cold. I’ll bring them to your room.
Phoebe was stunned.
She was afraid that it was not because it was too late and she was tired, so she had an illusion and saw such incredible news.
Stanford was going to bring her a bowl of noodles. What was this!
Phoebe rubbed her eyes and checked the phone screen again. It was the same sentence.
He really wanted to bring her a bowl of noodles.
Phoebe was so nervous that she hesitated for a while before she typed a word stiffly.
Phoebe: okay.
Even facing the cold phone screen and emotionless words, she seemed to have used up all her strength.
She was so shocked that she couldn’t even refuse.
After a while, there was a knock on the door.
Phoebe was stunned and came back to her senses in an instant.
Stanford came so soon?
She hurried to the door and opened it. Sure enough, she saw the man’s handsome face.
He was holding her bowl of noodles on a tray.
Phoebe was flattered. She quickly took the noodles and said, “Thanks for you to bring it here.”
“Nothing.”
Stanford looked indifferent, as if it was an ordinary thing.
Phoebe held the bowl nervously.
She explained hastily, “well, I’m sorry. My father told me something, so he came upstairs. He said that if I eat so much, I will get fat and I couldn’t get married, so he didn’t allow me to eat midnight snack.”
Stanford frowned and looked at Phoebe with deep eyes.
He said in a low voice, “Someone will marry you.”
“What?”
Phoebe looked at Stanford in surprise. What he said made her stunned.
Why he was so determined?
A touch of uneasiness flashed through Stanford’s eyes. He pursed his lips and skipped the topic, “Go to bed early after having noodles.”
Then he turned around and left without hesitation.
Looking at his tall back, Phoebe was still in a state of shock.
His word was still ringing in her ears, “Someone will marry you.”
His words seemed to comfort her, but more like a promise.
Only a couple would make such a promise to each other.
Stanford had no reason to promise her, but why did he say that…
Phoebe’s mind was in a turmoil.
