Veronica remembered she’s not wearing any, and said, “I didn’t wear it for Nick. I didn’t wear anyone’s today.” As she said that, she felt that her neck was a little loose. She took advantage while he was still busy thinking about the bracelet. She moved a few steps away from him.
“I really have to go back,” Veronica said then ran to the door of the community. Few more steps and she stopped, looked back to Toby Cage, “Toby, what I said last time was true. I really hope that you can be happy. Be happy with Suzanne Roland, or with anyone else you like to be with.”
Toby Cage’s hands are on his side, trembling and could only be controlled with his clenched fist.
Veronica ran into the neighborhood and leaned against the wall, and her eyes are red.
She was telling the truth that she can also be happy with anyone else as long as she won’t get involved with Toby anymore.
She hasn’t heard the sound of Toby’s car leaving for a long time.
Veronica poked her head out a little and saw that the Ferrari was still there.
And Toby is still there leaning against the car and smoking.
Why he is not leaving yet? Doesn’t he want to go? Veronica was afraid to go out because Toby is still there. It took half an hour for Toby to get in the car and leave. The roar of Ferrari disappeared slowly in the night when Veronica finally decided to walk out of the neighborhood.
Walking on the other side of the road, she felt very uncomfortable when she saw several cigarette butts on the ground, Veronica sigh.
But she can only pretend that she doesn’t know anything and can’t be soft-hearted.
Unless it’s for Nick Cage and her six little ones’ sake. Veronica asked herself, did I ever regret what happened that night?
How could you regret it? If you do, you have to deny the joy of existence of your six little ones, and you know you can’t do that.
Veronica looked up at the moon hanging in the sky and smiled relieved. “It’s not a big deal. If you miss it, you miss it. There is not only one side of life!”
She turned around and walked on her way home and her six little ones were still waiting for her to be home.
The TV station is busy recording the cute baby show because it has to be premiered next week, so the people would have to work overtime on Saturdays.
And they don’t rest until Sunday.
Early on that Sunday morning, Isabella pushed open the door of her room and saw Veronica and Peter hugging each other and fell asleep.
Isabella didn’t call them, and she first went to the kitchen to make breakfast for the kids.
The peaceful sleep was disturbed when Peter fell to the ground.
Veronica got up sleepy-eyed, picked up the small clumps on the ground, and went back to bed.
“Mom?” Peter rubbed his eyes, cute.
Veronica pinched his face so that he could play with his toys,
And then the other five woke up. And all of the kids went and curled to her side.
Veronica suddenly felt serenity as her body suddenly felt the warmth and softness of her children’s small body, and she couldn’t help but smile in contentment while trying to hug them all together. “Children, we are about to get up, as if Isabella is coming.”
She walked out of the room followed by six little ones and went directly to the kitchen.
“Grandma!” The children called Isabella in unison.
Isabella, who was cleaning up, was glad to see them, “Are you all hungry? Grandma made you something delicious.”
“I want to eat tiger eggs!” Peter gets his toy gun came over and said.
“I want to eat tiger eggs, too!” Says Cathy as she raises her hand.
“Tiger eggs!” Says Julie.
“I want balls,” Josh said.
Lily, “I want to eat!”
Daniel, “Daniel. Eat! ”
Isabella smiled, “OK, there are tiger eggs and all kinds of eggs!”
Veronica laughed as she beats the eggs in the mold, and there will be all kinds of small animals.
That morning, Veronica washed the sheets at home and basked them on the not-so-spacious balcony.
The six little ones are just playing around under the sheets.
As soon as you get into it, you can’t find your direction. It’s really cute.
“Mom just washed it, don’t get it dirty.” Veronica reminded that looking at their round cute behavior, the girl’s heart exploded.
Lily came out of the sheet and hugged Veronica’s leg. “Cathy, I caught Cathy!”
Veronica laughed. “Look, who did you just catch again?”
Lily looked up and her beautiful eyes were bright. “Oh! It’s my mom!”
“Well, go there and play!”
After having lunch, Veronica spent more time with her children. They played till they got tired and took them to take a nap.
And then she got a call from Chloe Bowen.
Veronica didn’t know what it was, so she answered, “What can I do for you?”
“Come out today and have tea with your mother this afternoon!”
“I want to be with the children.”
“Is there no one to take care of them? Where’s Isabella? ”
“I seldom take a day off. Let me rest here and I want to spend more time with my children.”
“It’s all right, honey. I promise you it won’t take long. You wait for the children to take a nap, and then come out so that you can go back early.”
Veronica surely understands Chloe’s desire to have tea with her, so she finally agreed.
But she didn’t expect that when she got to the place, there were not only Chloe Bowen at the table, but also another young man who’s also drinking tea.
Chloe’s face lit up as she saw Veronica walking on her way to the table. “Let me introduce him to you. This is the son of your Uncle Cage partner company. I happened to see him, so I asked him to sit down and have a chat.” Chloe Bowen said.
“Hello. My name is Buck Isaiah” When Buck Isaiah saw Veronica Parker, his eyes are shining in admiration. “We’ve met before.”
Veronica can’t remember when or where she saw such a person.
“At your Uncle Cage’s birthday party, don’t you remember?” Chloe Bowen said as if she heard what’s in Veronica’s mind.
But still, Veronica certainly doesn’t remember, but she does know about the birthday party.
Veronica Parker held out her hand but didn’t give the smiley face to greet him plainly. “Hello.”
“Come and sit down, don’t just stand up.” Chloe Bowen pulled Veronica to her side to sit down. “What would you like to drink?”
“Just water, please.” Veronica Parker said. “I can’t stay too long. I have something else to do later.”
“I know. But let me order you a milkshake.” Chloe Bowen took the liberty of ordering her a decent drink, which was strawberry-flavored. Then Chloe smiled at her and said, “Girls should drink Strawberry Milkshakes, right?”
Buck Isaiah smiled and nodded. “Yes, it is. The first time I had a birthday party, I was impressed by Miss Parker. It was the very first time I saw a natural girl without makeup. ”
“Yes, my Veronica never wears makeup. She has always been a beauty since childhood.” Chloe Bowen also praised her daughter.
Veronica was uncomfortable to sit next to him.
After sitting for more than half an hour, she knew she had to end this meeting.
The conversation revolves around her. It’s never natural you just happened to meet someone willing to sit down with you and talk over the same matter.
It feels like a blind date.
Just as Veronica couldn’t help asking to leave, her cell phone rang.
After seeing the caller ID, her hand shook and she almost knocked over the milkshake on the table.
“What’s the matter?” Confused Chloe asked.
“It’s no one. I’ll go outside to answer the phone. Excuse me.” Veronica got up and walked out of the coffee shop and went outside to calm her mind. Why does Nick Cage calling her at this time? The mobile phone is still ringing. Dare not to snub him, Veronica. She reminded herself. Hands still trembling, Veronica answered the call. “Mr. Cage …”
“Where is it?”
Veronica’s eyes automatically fell on her empty wrist, because she was afraid that Nick Cage would know her whereabouts, so she would take off the bracelet and try to make her voice normal, “It’s at home.” That’s all she can say because the bracelet is at home.
“Are you ready to lie and be exposed?”
Veronica could have held back her panic, but now she was scared blank when she heard the low, discouraging voice of Nick coming from his mobile phone.
What does Nick mean? Why did she lie about it?
