The Heiress Nobody Saw Coming (Natalie and Marcus) novel Chapter 605

Not long after Natalie and Marcus left the villa, Sheldon came out of the kitchen, carrying a small basket with some food inside.

He then exited through another door, heading toward the small villa at the back.

Unbeknownst to anyone, Noah quietly followed him. Just as Noah was hiding in the shadows, however, Sheldon suddenly tapped him on the shoulder from behind.

"Noah, why are you following me?" Sheldon asked. "You've been sneaking around me these past few days. What are you up to?"

Noah screamed, breaking out into a cold sweat. When had Sheldon noticed him?

Sheldon casually held up the basket. "What are you so nervous about? I'm keeping a little pet in the back villa. Would you like to come see it?"

"P-Pet?" Noah stuttered.

His tracking skills were the best among all the bodyguards in the Holden family, yet Sheldon had spotted him long ago and had never confronted him.

"Noah, come with me," Sheldon said with a smile, patting Noah on the shoulder.

He then led Noah toward the hidden small villa.

Noah had no choice but to follow. Before long, Sheldon opened the door to the back villa and ushered Noah inside. They both went up the stairs.

"My pet's a little mischievous, so I keep it upstairs, worried it might run off," Sheldon explained as he led Noah to the second floor.

At the end of the hallway, Sheldon opened the door to a room.

The room had no curtains and was mostly empty, with just a few cat climbing frames and some scattered toys on the floor.

"Snowball, come out," Sheldon called.

At his words, a white blur darted past, and suddenly, Sheldon was holding a fluffy white creature in his arms.

"Look, Snowball," Sheldon said, showing Noah the small animal. "This is a rare breed of flying fox. I spent a great deal of money to get it. Ms. Laura is allergic to furry animals, so I've been secretly keeping it here."

Sheldon looked at Snowball with great affection. "After Mr. Holden Senior passed, I was so sad that there were many times I thought about following him. I realized that those weren't healthy thoughts, so I saw a therapist. The therapist recommended that I get a pet, as they can sometimes have a healing effect."

He paused before continuing, "Thus, I began looking for a pet. Cats and dogs were too common, and I wasn't sure they would help. Then, I heard about a breeder who had some unique animals that weren't available on the market. I went to see them and chose Snowball. Although Snowball is a fox, it won't grow any bigger, and it can fly."

Noah stood there in disbelief. Sheldon, who had been mysteriously disappearing for days and spending so much time in the back villa, was actually feeding and playing with a little flying fox.

He had once gone into the villa himself to check, but he hadn't seen Sheldon, nor had he seen the little fox. In fact, Noah hadn't even noticed this room. Had he really missed it?

"Noah, say hi to Snowball!" Sheldon suddenly said, continuing to gently pet the little fox. "Come, Snowball. It's time to eat."

Sheldon took the food from the basket and began feeding Snowball bit by bit.

Snowball seemed unafraid of people and happily ate its meal.
