Forbidden Passion

Chapter 634 Hubert, Boris, and Noomi Have Nothing to Do with Him

In the last couple of years, everyone knew Theodore wasn't into the whole romance thing, and nobody dared to bring it up around him.

But Brandon's comments hit a nerve, making the usually proud Theodore storm out without a second thought.

The door slam made everyone jump.

Taylor shot Brandon a dirty look, "Great, now he's probably gonna be MIA for like half a month."

Brandon snapped back, "Good riddance. He can go wherever. Just seeing him ticks me off. What's so hard about getting married and having kids?" Taylor just sighed.

But as soon as she ran, I chased her. She runs so fast; I only caught up with her in the hospital lobby." Evelyn wasn't a harsh person. Since Noomi wasn't lost or hurt, she comforted Pamela, "It's okay. This is Hubert and Boris's lunch. Take it to them, and I'll go talk to Phoebe." Pamela knew Evelyn was deliberately sending her away, so she took the bottles and went to the children's
