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.
