Veronica Parker remained silent. Her children aren’t quadruplets, but sextuplets.
At least she was relieved that her children didn’t say her full name.
Her back was sweaty, and she was really scared that made her drenched into a cold sweat.
Veronica was still pinned at the back of her neck and tried to move, but he heard the sound of Nick Cage crashing down. “Why do you seem so nervous?”
Veronica Parker suppressed the wild and erratic beat of her heart then whispered. “I’m just afraid you won’t be happy when you hear that person’s name. If you’re unhappy, you’ll be angry with me, so I’m naturally nervous.”
On the one hand, she must face the oppression and danger of Nick, while on the other hand, she has to prevent the six little ones from saying what they should not say.
The nerves all over her body felt so tight that they seemed to snap if she was not careful.
The host on the television continued to probe for more questions. “If you don’t know Mom’s name, do you know Daddy’s name?”
This question was only asked, Peter. With a confused look on his face, he answered.
Peter said. “I don’t know. My daddy is dead!”
“My daddy is really dead, too,” Cathy said.
Julie. “He went to heaven. He’s gone a long way! ”
Josh added. “Very far.”
Lily said. “Dead!”
Daniel only hummed in response. “Mmm!”
John Cage said. “My Daddy is not dead!”
Six of the seven children said that their daddy died, this answer is heavier and more exaggerated. After all, children are the least likely to lie.
The host felt that there is something on her inside, she felt pity for the kids who never had a chance to have a father figure. She quickly changed the subject and liven up the atmosphere.
She just thought to herself. ‘These six little ones are really pitiful, they don’t have caddy when they are so young.’
Veronica Parker panicked because at first Peter only asked her this question. She never thought that she would meet Nick and gave a direct answer once and for all. Whenever the kids asked her where their father is, she would only reply. “Daddy died and went to a faraway place.”
At that moment, Veronica knew that their Daddy is right in front of her eyes, and that answer was heard by Nick which made Veronica Parker very frightened!
Nick loosened his grip on the back of Veronica’s neck. He glanced at her coldly and looked at Peter who was sitting next to John Cage on the television. His facial features are similar to John’s, but he would never think that he’s blood-related to that child.
Veronica Parker took his hands off the back of her neck and watched Nick headed to the kitchen after he turned off the TV immediately.
That sight made her sigh of relief.
Although Peter only didn’t say anything earth-shattering, the next thing he would say was unsure. That child is quite unpredictable.
She wanted to see them badly, she can’t wait until she gets back.
But then, the time she can go back is a question.
Veronica Parker was afraid to go away without his permission, so she stood there and waited for Nick Cage to finish his meal.
After waiting for 20 minutes, Nick walked out of the kitchen with his long legs. He wore a reserved black suit, his muscular figure and a powerful aura made the heads of the rows of servants bow unto him.
Veronica Parker wanted to ask Nick if she could go back, but when the words were about to come out of her mouth, she dared not make a sound when she was affected by the aura.
Veronica Parker held her breath subconsciously and his nerves tightened as the cold wind blew past him.
When he looked up, Nick Cage had gone out of the entrance of the hall, and he could only see the straight and deep figure from afar.
Then the car’s engine sounded, and the car left the Winter Villa.
Veronica Parker’s shoulders collapsed weakly and sighed deeply. It seemed that he would have to stay here for another day.
When Veronica thought how she would quickly find a way to call Isabella to ask about the situation, Bob came in from the outside and said. “Miss Parker, you can go back.”
Veronica Parker stared at him, incredulous by the news. “Are you serious? Mr. Cage really let me go back?” She asked expectantly.
“Yes.”
Veronica Parker knew that Nick Cage must have told him when he was outside just now. It almost made her jump with joy.
She ran straight out and suddenly thought of something. “No, I’ll get my phone!”
Veronica Parker left Winter Villa, and her cell phone’s battery drained a long time ago, so she couldn’t contact Isabella. She rushed to their school as soon as possible.
When she got to school, it’s time for the children to take a nap.
Veronica Parker said hello to the teacher and found the six little ones who were sleeping soundly, as well as John Cage. Her heart was relieved and her eyes were welled up with tears at the same time.
‘It’s a good thing they’re okay.’ She was relieved to know that they are safe and sound.
Later, the teacher told Veronica Parker about the situation that happened before, Veronica knew about what she meant but she listened to her and explained the situation, The teacher explained the reason why her children went to the TV station with John Cage.
It was really a surprise for her, but luckily, they met a kind-hearted person.
Otherwise, the consequences are unimaginable.
Veronica knew that the children were all right and went back first. Peter and the other kids would be very happy to see her. When she thought of Peter together with his other siblings rolling towards him happily like a small ball, she couldn’t help laughing. The corners of her mouth curled up.
When Veronica Parker came home, the familiar surroundings made her feel at ease. Not only that, the faint smell of milk in the air soothed her wary heart.
Aside from Chloe Bowen, no one knew that she lived here. She kept it a secret as if she had an inviolable harbor.
No, not a harbor, but a rickety boat.
The huge capital is like a den of Nick Cage’s power and influence. Figuratively, he can cover the sky with one hand, and she can’t escape at all.
As for Winter Villa, it is like a devil’s den in which there are dormant beasts laid. It is easy to get in, but difficult to get out.
Now, when she reminisced about the days she spent in the Winter Villa, she still has a lingering fear.
‘I will never go to the Winter Villa again!’ She vowed to herself.
When she recharged her cell phone and plugged it in, as soon as she turned it on, text messages and phone calls bombarded her one after another.
Calls and messages came from Isabella, the TV station, and Chloe Bowen. The first three can be forgiven for calling her. But why did Toby Cage called her, too?
Do they know each other well?
She felt disdainful and the phone suddenly rang. At that right time, the call belonged to Chloe Bowen.
Veronica Parker answered. “Hello.”
“I finally got through to you. Even if you go to another country don’t turn off your phone, will you?” Chloe asked.
Veronica Parker is in a daze, what on earth did she mean by going to another country? That is what she instructed Isabella to say. Chloe didn’t make a random statement.
‘Have they met?’
“You know about the babies, right? It’s too dangerous! Most especially if they are in foster care with other people. They are still your children, you’re just living apart. How can you have the energy to send a servant to take care of six children?”
“Isabella is not a servant.”
“I know. It’s the woman your grandmother saved. But she’s the only one to take care of six kids all at once, right? Look at the kids. They’re all on TV.”
“It has nothing to do with Isabella when the children went to the TV station. They got lost from school.” Veronica Parker said. “Isabella is more anxious than I am when the babies are lost.”
“Well, since you insist I can’t say anything. Come and have dinner at home next week!” Chloe didn’t want to have a bad relationship with Veronica, so she changed the subject.
“Eat dinner? To whom, the Cage family?” Veronica Parker asked. ‘Why do I have to eat with them?’
“Yes, you are very welcome by your Uncle Kevin Cage!”
Veronica Parker was silent for a moment and frowned. How could she go to dinner with the Cage family?
“You don’t have to worry about Nick. He’s not coming. He has nothing to do with the Cage family for a long time.”
“That’s what you said before, but he showed up at the birthday party.”
“That’s different. The birthday party is held outside, but now it’s in Cage family’s mansion.”
Veronica Parker refused. “I’m not going.”
“Why don’t you come? Don’t you even want to have dinner with your mother?” Chloe asked.
Veronica Parker looked out the window and answered. “Can’t we just live like before? No more contact, right? You live your life, I have my own life and I’ll live mine. Maybe since you left and gave up on me, it has all changed. ”
“Veronica, aren’t you willing to accept me as your mother? Why has it changed now? Did something happen? Is it because of Nick?”
