Theodore, chilling in the front row, had a perfect view of everything going on in the back. He watched Phoebe expertly handling Ethan, like she was some kind of parenting pro. He squinted a bit, puzzled.

"Why are you reading parenting books?" Theodore asked, clearly confused.

Phoebe's heart skipped a beat when she heard him. She looked up and caught Theodore's eyes in the rearview mirror. Keeping her cool, she replied, "It's for work. Do I need to report this to you, Mr. Reynolds?" Theodore glanced at her, a bit distracted, and asked, "What kind of work?"

"I invested in a movie in Canada and wanted to hire a famous director. I heard he's really into his family, so I bought a parenting book to have something to chat about. But turns out, I didn't need it," Phoebe lied smoothly. Theodore seemed to buy it. He gave her a quick look and didn't press further, focusing back on the road. But Phoebe felt a chill from his glance.
