Forbidden Passion

Chapter 721 Ollie, Hubert, and Noomi

Theodore had an air of noble arrogance, and Pamela immediately felt intimidated. She withdrew her hand and avoided Theodore's sharp gaze.

"Sir, I'm sorry. The kid is a bit naughty. He didn't hurt your cat, did he?" Pamela said.

Theodore glanced at Pamela. It was clear she wasn't the child's mother, more like a nanny. Otherwise, she would have checked if the child was scratched by the cat first, rather than worrying about Ollie. Theodore said with a blank expression, "My cat is fine."

Theodore squatted down in front of Noomi and stared at her. "Your name is Noomi?"

"Yes." Noomi nodded with a smile and pointed to Hubert, who had slipped from Pamela's arms and was running towards her. "His name is Hubert. He's my brother."

Hubert ran up to Noomi, his big eyes blinking as he stared at Ollie, looking like he wanted to touch but didn't dare.

"Sir, may I pet your cat?" Hubert looked at Theodore expectantly.

No one could refuse a cute child's request, especially such an extremely cute one. Theodore resisted the urge to ruffle his hair and nodded with a smile. "Of course, little guy." Hubert approached Ollie step by step. Ollie, sensing the external threat, glared at Hubert warily. As Hubert got closer, Ollie bared its teeth in a fierce display.

Hubert stopped as expected. He rubbed his chubby hands together and nervously tried to soothe Ollie. "My name is Hubert. Don't be afraid. I just want to be friends with you." Theodore, afraid Ollie might scare Hubert, warned, "Ollie, lie down!"

Under Theodore's sharp gaze, Ollie retracted its claws and obediently lay down. Noomi and Hubert were charmed.

Noomi squatted beside Ollie and gently touched its fur.
