This matter ended just like that.
Stanford didn't even know how to get out of Phoebe's room. He still clearly remembered Phoebe's pale face and disappointed look at that moment.
He felt guilty and almost escaped from her room.
After that, Phoebe stopped mentioning it as if nothing had happened.
She deliberately ignored it.
However, Stanford felt even more guilty about Phoebe. He tried his best to make up for her, take care of her, and meet all her other requirements.
His feelings for her now were made up by guilt.
Stanford treated Phoebe differently from before.
Stanford always looked at Phoebe and distracted, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
From time to time, Stanford also remembered what Ernest had asked him.
"Do you love her?"
"Do you love Phoebe?"
In the past, he did not quite understand the meaning of "love", but now he was even more confused.
On this day, Phoebe had heard from the news that an underground auction house would auction off the scar-removing cream.
This ointment was very useful. No matter what kind of scar it was, as long as it was wiped on the face, it would disappear the next day and return to people's original appearance.
For Phoebe, this was the most urgent medicine.
Now she was afraid of the operation, so she was unwilling to let Collin perform the operation on her. If she had this scar-removing cream, Phoebe could easily recover her appearance.
This medicine was excellent.
However, Stanford was also surprised that Collin even couldn't make such a medicine. How could it exist?
With a dubious attitude, he took Phoebe to the underground auction house.
Although this was an underground auction house, there were many people here. The people who came were all from rich families.
This auction was held once a week, and it was said that things could be sold very well every time.
Exceptionally, there were many people tonight.
Because the last item at the auction tonight was a "good thing" that could make men crazy.
The auctioneer did not reveal exactly what kind of treasure it was, but the words "a treasure that could make men crazy" attracted a large number of curious men.
Almost all the people present were men.
Wearing a cap and a mask, Phoebe covered her face tightly, showing only her eyes.
She sat next to Stanford and whispered,
"Are you very interested in this kind of 'treasure'?"
Stanford said expressionlessly, "I'm not interested."
No matter what kind of treasure it was, he was not interested.
The only person in the world that interested him was the woman beside him.
No, actually, he liked previous her...
Thinking of this, Stanford's eyes darkened. He opened his arms and held Phoebe in his arms.
Stanford's deep voice came and he said firmly, "I only want you."
This sentence was his promise to Phoebe.
It was also like a rule he made for himself.
He had long decided to be with Phoebe. He would never change his mind.
He would always be with her.
This thought was extremely firm.
Phoebe leaned into the man's arms with a sweet smile.
"Stanford, I feel like I'm the happiest woman in the world."
Hearing that, Stanford pursed his thin lips. His gaze was deep and dark.
His mood was bad for no reason.
