Forbidden Passion
Chapter 720 Theodore Encounters Huber and Noomi Again

Phoebe didn't expect them to still be awake. She walked to the bedside, kissed each of them on the forehead, and gently asked, "Why aren't you asleep yet?" "We're waiting for you, Mom," Boris said, with Hubert and Noomi nodding in agreement. Noomi added, "We can't sleep well without you, Mom."

Phoebe smiled and sat down by the bed, saying, "I got delayed and came back late. You shouldn't wait for me; you need to go to bed early to grow strong." "But we miss you, Mom," the children said in unison.

Since moving to the house, Phoebe had been leaving early and coming back late, spending less and less time with Hubert, Boris, and Noomi, which made them uneasy. Phoebe's eyes welled up with tears as she hugged Hubert, Boris, and Noomi tightly. "I'm sorry for neglecting you lately. I'll try to spend more time with you."

"Grandma said you're working hard during this period, so we don't blame you," Hubert finally got a chance to speak and quickly voiced his thoughts.

Boris said with a slight smile, "Mom, lie down, and I'll give you a back massage."

"Mom, I'll massage your shoulders," Noomi immediately took the best spot, leaving Hubert behind again. He said, "Mom, I'll massage your legs."

Phoebe was clearly arranged by them, and she couldn't refuse their kind intentions. She had no choice but to lie on the bed and let them massage her back, shoulders, and legs.

The children worked up a sweat, and seeing it was getting late, Phoebe changed them into their pajamas and coaxed them to bed.

Phoebe brought a picture book to read a story to them. They fell asleep almost instantly, exhausted from earlier. She put the book down, tucked them in, and then went to the bathroom to shower and remove her makeup. The next day, Phoebe had an early meeting at the company. She left early and didn't wait for the kids to wake up for breakfast before rushing to the office.

Evelyn went to the master bedroom at the usual time to wake up Hubert, Boris, and Noomi, dressed them, and took them downstairs.

Pamela had prepared breakfast and watched as Hubert, Boris, and Noomi climbed into their chairs. She handed them each a bottle of milk, which they drank happily.

Evelyn sat at the dining table eating breakfast when her phone rang. It was a call from Larsen Family. She answered, and Astrid's voice came through.

"Evelyn, did your house get broken into? I saw your lights on all night last night. Do you want to come back and check if anything's missing?"

Evelyn was startled, "No way, the security at Golden Apartment is pretty tight. There shouldn't be any break-ins."

"You should still come back and check. If something's missing, you can report it in time," Astrid had wanted to call Evelyn last night but was afraid of making her run around in the middle of the night and possibly encountering the burglar. Evelyn said, "There's nothing valuable at home, but I'll go check later. Thanks, Astrid."

"No need to thank me. I'll go up with you when you get back," Astrid said warmly.

"Alright."

After hanging up, Evelyn said to Pamela, "Pamela, I need to go back to Golden Apartment today. Will you be okay watching Hubert, Boris, and Noomi by yourself?"

Pamela had been taking care of the kids without any issues lately, and Evelyn's trust in her had grown.

"Sure," Pamela agreed readily.

Evelyn still felt a bit concerned. She glanced at Hubert, Boris, and Noomi and said, 'Handling all three might be too much for you. How about I take Boris with me and return in the afternoon?

Pamela, also worried about managing all three kids alone, decided to follow Evelyn's suggestion and let her take one.

After finishing breakfast, Evelyn packed her bag, picked up Boris, and left. Hubert and Noomi cried for a long time.

Hubert and Noomi didn't understand why Evelyn didn't take them along; they were well-behaved too.

Pamela couldn't calm them down, so she decided to take Hubert and Noomi out for a walk. The kids' curiosity quickly distracted them, and they forgot about crying.

Pamela was relieved when Hubert and Noomi stopped crying.

She pushed Hubert and Noomi out of the community. Outside was a lake, and some people were jogging in sportswear.

Hubert and Noomi, sitting in the stroller with wide, curious eyes.

Many people were out with their kids by the lake. Seeing the twins, they couldn't help but come over to talk to Pamela.

In a moment of distraction, Noomi climbed out of the stroller and ran towards the lawn. Someone shouted, "A kid is running away."

Pamela saw Noomi already ten feet away and panicked. She quickly pushed Hubert to catch up.

"Noomi, stop running, it's dangerous!" Pamela shouted as she chased.

The lawn slowed her down, and the stroller became harder to push. Seeing Noomi almost out of sight, Pamela, sweating profusely, picked up Hubert from the stroller and abandoned it to chase after Noomi.

Noomi ran happily, and seeing Pamela catching up, she ran even faster. But when she looked back, she ran into something furry.

Ollie, startled, raised its paw to swipe at Noomi, but Theodore shouted and stopped it. The cat meowed pitifully, retracting its paw and scratching the lawn in frustration.

Noomi fell and sat on the ground, staring at the chubby Ollie, completely forgetting to be scared, her eyes shining brightly.

"Sir, Is this your cat?"

"Yes," Theodore looked down at Noomi sitting on the lawn, finding her vaguely familiar. "Little girl, why are you out here alone?"

Noomi pointed to Pamela and said, "I'm not alone. Pamela and Hubert are behind me."

Theodore followed her chubby finger and saw a woman carrying a child running towards them, quickly reaching them.

Pamela, panting, said, "Noomi, if you run off again, I won't take you out to play anymore."

Theodore squinted at Hubert in Pamela's arms. Hubert and Noomi looked almost identical.

These were triplets.

He looked at Pamela and finally remembered why Noomi seemed familiar. They had met at the hospital.

That day, Noomi had bumped into his leg and fallen. Today, she bumped into his cat and fell again.

Noomi made a face at Pamela, who was furious and reached out to grab Noomi, but Theodore stopped her.

Pamela was about to get angry but froze when she saw it was Theodore. Pamela thought to herself, 'Oh no, how did they run into Theodore here?'
