Forbidden Passion

Chapter 390 Cat, Ollie

Phoebe and Theodore locked eyes for a moment before she looked away, focusing on the squirming kitten in her arms. "This little guy's got a lot of energy," Phoebe said. She wanted to name it Leo but knew Theodore would be upset. Theodore glanced at her and said, "Don't call it 'full of energy.""

"That sounds terrible," Phoebe shot back.

After thinking for a bit, she said, "Let's call it Ollie."

"Ollie?" Theodore repeated, liking it more each time. "Alright, Phoebe named you. You're Ollie now."

Phoebe's heart skipped a beat when Theodore called Ollie son, making her look at him. "What did you call it?"

"Son. Isn't it our son?" Theodore said seriously.

To build a bond, they needed a term of endearment. Theodore had practiced this, but he was worried he might overdo it.

Phoebe looked at chubby Ollie. "So, it'll call you Papa? That's cute."

Phoebe almost immediately accepted the idea. 'I might never have kids, so having a cat as a son isn't bad. Maybe it'll help my relationship with Theodore last longer,' she thought. Theodore smiled. "Yeah, that's nice."

Phoebe smiled, too, scratching Ollie's chin and turning him to Theodore. "Ollie, this is Papa. Be good, and don't make him mad, okay?"

Ollie seemed to understand and meowed at Theodore, dragging out the sound affectionately.
