A sense of darkness filled every part of the room making anyone who set foot inside afraid.
“Mr. Cage.”
“Is she making trouble again?”
“After a bit of trouble earlier the day, it was very quiet at night.”
Nick Cage was shocked by the determination that Veronica Parker showed. He thought she would cry and beg him, but her willpower was strong.
“Do you want me to bring her food?” Bob thought about it and asked.
“No, let her starve.”
“Yes.” Bob went out.
Veronica Parker was in the wine cellar. She looked around to find something to drink; a glass of water perhaps; but there was nothing except wine.
She decided to not eat or drink after all.
Veronica Parker made a scene at noon but had calmed down since.
She realized that even if she fought Nick Cage, he would not show great mercy. Such was a person without a benevolent heart.
So, why not calm down and stop trying to fight?
Veronica Parker looked around and saw that it was all wine. If only she had water, she could still hold on.
She found that the wine cellar was not being monitored. Nick Cage would not see what was happening at the wine cellar. She thought that if he saw her faint, he would certainly open the door.
Then she could go out as soon as she gets a chance to see Nick Cage.
Veronica Parker made up her mind that she would only suffer, so she would have a drink.
The only depressing thing was that she worried about the six little ones. At this time, the little ones should be resting.
Veronica Parker stood up with her cell phone. She looked for a corner, then hid and made a phone call.
She faced the door, so she could see as soon as someone came in and hang up the phone.
The call was connected, and Isabella answered quickly, “Veronica Parker, is that you?”
“Isabella, are you at home?”
“At home! I just put the children to bed one by one. They were crying and want their Mom. I really can’t bear to see them like that. What’s your situation? It didn’t work out, did it?”
Isabella asked.
“I was already on the plane, but I’ve been caught by his men. I’m under house arrest. I can’t get out.”
“What? House arrest? By that man? ”
“Yes”
” Isn’t that too much? How could he do this to you? What about the police? ”
Veronica Parker said helplessly, “If I could call the police, I would have called the police by now. Here, he has control over the land, who dares to arrest him? I don’t even dare to mess with him. Besides, I have children, and I am in danger of being exposed if I call the police. ”
“What are you going to do?”
“I’m trying to deal with it. I’m just worried about the six little ones.”
“You don’t have to worry. They were just tearful and wanted to see you. Other than that, they are fine.” Isabella said.
“I know. Please give them the phone and I’ll talk to them.”
“Hey.”
Isabella took the phone into the room. “Mom called.”
The six little children immediately jumped off the sleeping mat like a penguin. Daniel was not able to roll down directly, so he rolled twice on the ground, making him look like a ball.
“Oh, dear!” Isabella hurried to pick up Daniel.
“I want to talk to Mom!” Peter said hastily.
The other five stared expectantly at the phone as if it were their Mom.
“Don’t worry; I’ll turn on the loudspeaker.” Isabella turned on the loudspeaker and the six kids stared nervously until Isabella said, “you can talk.”
Peter and Cathy immediately scrambled to shout. “Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!” They all shouted continuously until she spoke.
“Sorry babies, Mom didn’t have time to go back.” Veronica Parker apologized to them.
What the little ones only cared about was not what she said, but the familiar voice of Mom. They all suddenly wailed together.
The volume was quite a shock.
Across the phone, Veronica Parker felt bad and hot in her eyes. She’s afraid that only her six little ones in the world will miss her so much.
“Don’t cry Peter, Cathy, Julie, Josh, Lily, Daniel. Mom has some business to take care of here. I won’t be back for a few days. You have to listen to your grandma at home, okay?”
Veronica Parker held her chest and said.
“Mom, are you angry? I will never fight with Cathy again. ”
Peter’s tears swirled in his eyes as he tried to hold it back.
Cathy also held back her tears and said, “I won’t fight anymore either!”
Julie sniffed, “Mom, I won’t eat candy anymore.”
Josh cried, out of breath. “Me either.”
Daniel cried, two fat hands helplessly clutched the phone, “Mom, hug … Mom.”
Veronica Parker also huddled in the corner like a poor kid, her eyes red. “I will hug you all when I come back? So, sleep now. Put the phone on the bed and it will be just like Mom sleeps with you, okay? ”
“Well.”
Then the six little ones began to climb the bed. It was easy to jump down but was difficult to climb up. The short legs finally made it onto the bed.
They put the phone in the usual place where Veronica Parker slept, and the six little ones sleep obediently laid next to it.
Veronica Parker talked to them on her mobile phone and told them fairy tales until she heard their soft snores.
Isabella picked up the phone and said; “They’re all asleep with tears on their eyelashes.”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. Isabella, I’m sorry I’ve bothered you these days.”
“Don’t say anything troublesome. Try to come back as soon as possible. I can’t see the children cry one by one. It’s pitiful.”
“OK, I see.”
After the call, Veronica Parker held her cell phone and huddled like a ball in the corner. She felt as pathetic as her six little ones.
Nick Cage was a bastard. If it wasn’t for him, she would not be separated from the little ones. They had never been apart from each other since its birth, let alone disappeared for several days.
In order to see the six little ones soon, she could only make such a bad plan. She hoped this hastily put plan would succeed!
Veronica Parker wiped her face and stood up. Because she had been squatting for a long time, coupled with the fact that she had not drunk water for two days, her eyes suddenly went dark, and had to sit down again.
“Well.” Veronica Parker sat on the ground, her eyes closed, cushioning the darkness.
It took a while for her to get back to normal.
Veronica Parker moved to the sofa, fell, and laid on it. She looked feebly at the dark gray ceiling and did not move to save some energy.
At 02:00 in the morning, the basement door opened silently, casting a long shadow. High-end Oxford shoes appeared, the cold and chilling night, added a ghostly atmosphere to the late-night ambiance. It went straight up to the sleeping Veronica Parker until the slender and graceful body was shrouded in it.
Veronica Parker slept soundly. Her face was fair, her little mouth was slightly open, and he could see the pink tongue between her lips and teeth. She was defenseless and completely unaware of the danger.
Perhaps for her, sleeping was the most comfortable way; at least she would not feel hungry.
Nick Cage’s deep and sharp black eyes looked at her as if to devour everything. He wanted to see how long she could stand it.
Veronica Parker’s long curly eyelashes trembled. She had little strength to open her eyes.
When she opened her eyes fully, she saw the dark gray ceiling. And when she turned around, she realized she was still at the wine cellar.
Veronica Parker sighed. She dreamt that she had gone back home and was holding the happy six little ones in a circle.
But she’s awake now, her eyes were only disappointed.
Veronica Parker touched the cell phone next to her and looked at the time. It was 10:00.
Still, no one brought food.
She sat up and touched her hungry belly. Something flashed in front of her eyes and wanted to eat what she saw.
