There was no emotion on Nick Cage’s face and his black eyes were quiet and indifferent. He walked up to Veronica Parker and held out his hand.
Veronica Parker looked at the palm that was in front of her, it was such a powerful hand.
The meaning was very clear, he was asking for her cell phone. He wanted to look at the phone records on her phone.
Veronica Parker was a mess inside.
What would she do?
“I just called my aunt,” Veronica explained.
She was trying to restrain her heart which was about to jump out of her body and took a step back.
“Don’t test my patience.” Nick’s voice was cold and demanding.
Veronica’s heel pressed against the sofa and she knew that she would not be able to take another step back. He put his hands in her back. He was trying to find her cellphone by groping her behind. Her phone was directly seized by the impatient Nick.
“My cell phone.” Veronica still wanted to get her cellphone back.
“Do you want to die?” Nick looked at her harshly.
Veronica’s hand froze and she dared not to move.
She stood there watching Nick who was checking her phone records. He scrolled upwards to check her call logs from a few minutes ago. It was her call with Isabella.
If he would see this, Nick would believe that it was really just a phone call from an aunt, right?
However, he did not, Nick called back the phone number registered on her directory.
Veronica Parker had her heart in her throat.
Why was he calling? What was he suspicious of?
Veronica looked nervously at Nick’s face. She was wondering if the phone has been connected already or if Isabella has said anything about the children.
A deep and shrewd man like Nick was bound to suspect something at the mere mention of a word.
It was as if he saw Isabella’s number and called to confirm it himself.
She didn’t know what he was suspicious of.
Nick answered the phone while his black eyes were staring at her coldly.
Veronica was standing still. She was holding her breath so much that she could hear her heartbeat.
Did Isabella say something about her children? Don’t talk about children! Don’t say a word.
Just when Veronica’s heart was about to stop, Nick unfathomably gave her the phone.
Veronica didn’t know what was going on and hurried to answer the phone, “Hello?”
“Can you hear me? I’m still on my way. It’ll take me a while to get home. ”
“It’s all right, that’s all. I’ll hang up.” Veronica hung up the phone hurriedly. She glanced at Nick’s cold face and said, “I was afraid she wouldn’t see me when she came back, so I called her. It doesn’t matter if the electricity is on at home.”
“So anxious to see Toby Cage.”
Veronica Parker was stupefied for a moment. “Of course not. I just went to return the clothes. I thought I could go back soon.” It was because of his appearance that she was not able to go back!
“Don’t think about marrying into the Cage family.” Nick Cage said. His phone vibrated, he turned to answer it and left the room.
Veronica’s taut nerves loosened.
His words sounded like she couldn’t wait to marry into the Cage family.
Who would care about someone else’s business? Anyway, she didn’t want to!
But it was really thrilling to answer the phone just now.
She was trembling with fear.
As soon as she calmed down and now that the child’s affairs were solved, what would be next?
Veronica’s fear came back.
She was just about to walk out of the room.
The shadow shrouded in front of Veronica’s eyes. It was covered with a layer of gray shadow, and before she was able to react, she was easily thrown on the sofa by Nick Cage
“Ah!”
Nick Cage threw the spray at the top of her head and tore open her coat. It showed her white shoulder.
“No!”
Nick Cage bent down and crawled like a beast, his hawk-like black eyes locked on her nervous eyes. “Now that there’s medicine, it doesn’t matter if I’m a little rough.”
“No. You can’t.” Veronica Parker panicked. Was he serious? What about the scar on her stomach?
Nick Cage ignored her resistance and pulled off her poor waistband with the strength of his hands.
“Ah!” Veronica cried for a surprise.
Nick’s black eyes fell and focused on the pattern on her belly.
The pattern on her belly was like a vine flower intertwining with each other. In that sensitive position, it was full of evil and temptation.
Veronica’s heart almost stopped. He saw it.
She had taken the time to get tattoos elsewhere and covered the suspicious scars with tattooed vine flowers.
Would Nick discover her scars? Would he be able to see it? He wouldn’t see it without looking carefully, right?
However, it was difficult to guess the depth and shrewdness of Nick. His black eyes seemed to be able to penetrate her body. His slender fingers were touching her and feeling the traces of slight protuberance and delicate sensitivity.
“Ah.” Veronica Parker shrank. She was afraid of what the shrewd Nick would see. He immediately retreated, huddled at the armrest of the sofa, and pulled her trousers up to cover the scar.
The spray was rubbed against the ground by her feet.
Veronica glanced at the spray and looked at Nick defensively.
“What is it?” Nick Cage asked coldly.
“When I was abroad, I was robbed at night. When I tried to fight the robbers, I was stabbed. I thought the scar was ugly, so I got a vine flower tattooed over it.” Veronica said tears were attempting to fall down her face.
Nick looked at her with sharp black eyes.
“The knife didn’t kill me but I’ll never be able to have a baby again.” Veronica Parker was sobbing as she speaks. “I was abandoned when I was a child and I was hurt when I was studying abroad. I’ve had enough. It’s bad enough. Can you not do this to me? I didn’t expect to meet you when I came back to the capital. I met my mother but I never knew that my mother married into the Cage family. I did not know anything.”
Two lines of clear tears slid down her white face and dropped on her lap.
Nick’s face was gloomy, a pair of falcon-like black eyes, sharp as if it wanted to pierce Veronica’s body and soul, “Are you trying to win my sympathy?”
Veronica looked at his eyes nervously.
“Shouldn’t you inquire about the fate of the person who was pleading for mercy in front of the person in charge of the KING Group? Huh?” Nick said without emotion.
Veronica was frightened for a moment. What happened? She remembered the fate of the man who first saw Nick Cage. He was kneeling in front of him in that clubhouse.
So, it was wrong for her to pretend that she was miserable?
Just as she was thinking, he grabbed her ankle and she was dragged.
“Ah!”
In an instant, she was under the terrible beast, her trembling eyes were covered with a transparent shadow.
Rough fingers clasped her chin. He was extremely strong. “Pretending to be pitiful in front of me will only make me want to destroy you all the more. Also, if you can’t have a baby, we can save trouble from accidental pregnancy.”
Veronica’s eyes trembled. He thought it was a problem to get pregnant and have a baby.
So, if he would know that she did not only became pregnant unexpectedly but also gave birth to his six children, then her fate would be too miserable!
But what Nick Cage said was too much. If she couldn’t have a baby, would he do whatever he wanted without taking measures? Would he have a little compassion?
Veronica felt numb as she thought about it. She would not let Nick Cage touch her!
So she turned her head and put her hand over her face. Her shoulders were trembling and she was sobbing softly.
“Shut up!” Nick growled and tore away her hand from her face, which was covered with tears. “I’ll tear you up if you cry again.”
