Forbidden Passion

Chapter 631 Getting Documents for the Triplets

Hubert was chillin' on this tiny stool, munching on a durian that was practically swallowing his face. He was loving it.

Noomi, seeing Hubert devouring that thing like it was the best snack ever, wandered over with big, hopeful eyes. "Hubert, lemme have some."

Hubert turned his head away, making it clear he wasn't about to share his precious durian.

The more Hubert guarded his snack, the more Noomi thought it must be the bomb.

Seizing the moment, Noomi grabbed Hubert's chunky little arm and yanked it towards her.

Hubert, looking all defeated, handed over the durian. Noomi took a bite, and her face twisted up like she'd just eaten a lemon.

She spat it out, scraping her tongue with her fingers, totally baffled by how something could taste so nasty.

Hubert went back to munching happily, and Noomi, with her scrunched-up face, reached out her pudgy hands again. She remembered her grandma's warning that this stinky thing was poisonous and could mess up her stomach. "Hubert, it reeks! Don't eat it!" Noomi warned.

Phoebe walked in after changing her shoes and saw Noomi kicking her little legs, trying to snatch the durian from Hubert. Hubert held it high, out of her reach, making Noomi's face turn red with frustration. "Hubert, give it to me! It'll make your stomach hurt," Noomi insisted.

Phoebe picked Noomi up and handed her a box of small cakes from a shopping bag. "Noomi, eat this instead."

Noomi looked anxiously at Phoebe. "Mom, that stinky thing is poisonous! Don't let Hubert eat it."

Phoebe patted her head. "It's fine, that's durian. I bought it for Hubert. It's not poisonous, don't worry."
