Forbidden Passion

Chapter 673 Blocking Theodore

Cindy chuckled. Just as she was about to say something, the rumble of a truck engine caught her attention.

"Hold that thought. I'll go see what's up," she said.

With that, Cindy headed outside.

A truck was parked in front of the villa, and Guadalupe was directing the movers. "Be careful with everything, please."

Cindy, rocking her sunglasses, stood by the iron fence, watching the workers haul boxes into the house.

There weren't too many boxes; the movers wrapped it up in four or five trips. Cindy counted the boxes, paid the movers, and sent them on their way.

Everyone had been hustling all morning. Evelyn whipped up some poached eggs and called out, "Hey, everyone, come grab a bite. You've been at it all morning."

Hearing this, Hubert, Boris, and Noomi, who had been running around all morning, dashed over and climbed onto the dining chairs. Starving from all the running around, they started wolfing it down.

"Slow down, no one's gonna take it from you," Phoebe said, worried they might choke. She used a spoon to break up the eggs and watched them finish before she relaxed.

After the kids finished their eggs, Evelyn headed back to the kitchen to cook more. The fridge was packed with ingredients, and Phoebe went to lend a hand. Cindy and Edward kept an eye on the kids outside. They were busy until around five in the afternoon before they finally got a breather. Edward had to head back to the office after lunch.

Cindy took Hubert, Boris, and Noomi to the master bedroom for a nap, while Phoebe and Evelyn unpacked the boxes and organized the wardrobe.

"This house is huge. It's just us here; it feels kinda weird," Evelyn said, finally taking a break and plopping down on the sofa with a sigh.

Phoebe was busy replying to messages in a group chat and didn't even look up. "When we were at Golden Apartment, you complained it was too cramped for the kids. Now it's too big?" "I'm just saying, no need to call me out," Evelyn said, playfully swatting Phoebe's arm.
