The Comeback Queen (Phoebe Jenkins) novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Phoebe and the others heard the notification and checked the group chat. When they saw Maddox’s post, they all burst out laughing.

Lesic and James agreed that Maddox was definitely a well–known troublemaker in their circle. It was not nice to hurt someone’s feelings like that, but they couldn’t help feeling good about being on the same side.

Phoebe could just picture the guy getting all puffed up with anger li

like a blowfish

Imagining Jamar’s twisted face, Phoebe grinned and told Maddox, “Nice one!” She knew Maddox didn’t like Jamar and was happy i getting under Jamar’s skin.

Maddox smirked and said. “You got it

1. it.

After chowing down and having a few drinks, David Haynes took Phoebe and the rest to the orchard. Besides them, there were some other folks lending a hand too.

When they got there, David handed out gloves to each of them and said, “Time to pick some peaches.”

They all grabbed the gloves and said, “Sure thing.” Then they put on straw hats and followed the other helpers to

to start picking peaches.

The three of them got really into it at the beginning, but after a while, their hands and necks started to ache from all the picking and looking up. Standing for so long made their waists and feet sore, and the sun was scorching hot.

Lexie sighed and said. “Thank goodness Pheebs thought ahead and made these straw hats, or we’d be in a real fix today.” James and Maddox chimed in, “Yeah, we’re lucky to have Pheebs around”

If it wasn’t for the live broadcast, they would have given up. But seeing Phoebe’s cheerful face while picking peaches made them all push through

A little later on, David grabbed a few bottles of water and handed them out to Phoebe and the others.

Phoebe took the water bottle and looked at David, saying. Thanks. Then she noticed David’s pale face and remembered the strange star she had seen the night before.

Phoebe asked, “Where’s your son!”

David grinned and answered, “he went out to play early this morning”

His son was only seven and wouldn’t be much help in the orchard anyway. He was at that annoying age where he would run around the village all day, and they could barely keep him still

Phoebe’s face tightened a bit “From your stars, your son’s life is in danger.

David was shocked. “What do you mean?”

“Can this attractive lady actually read stars? Is that even possible? David wondered.

Phoebe said. “It looks like he’s going to drown. She quickly recalled something, then turned and bolted toward the orchard gate. “Hurry, we might be too late!”

Everyone there was stumped in

to see Phoebe take off like that

Maddox tossed the peach he was holding into the basket. “Let’s go see what’s happening. Then he ran after her.

David didn’t believe it at first, but now he felt a bit uneasy for some reason. He took off after them without a second thought.

Seeing this, the others also ran after him. The photographer followed behind.

Can Phoebe really read star!]

It sounds so mysterious, Is it true or not!]

She didn’t even ask where David’s son had gone. Could she find him if she just rushed out?)

As she stood by the reservoir, she spotted two boys splashing around in the water, having the time of their lives, completely oblivious to the danger looming ahead.

Without wasting a moment, Phoebe tossed her hat and gloves on the ground and plunged into the water, swimming towards the two boys.

Is Phoebe trying to crack a joke?!

[It looks like she’s just putting on a show]

David’s son heard his father’s voice and looked over, but instead of swimming over, he swam away, saying, “No, I want to play for a while” Then his cousin swam over as well.
