Does that mean, Nick Cage won’t let anything happen to her?
How can he vent his hatred when she is dead?
Veronica Parker knew that the moment she saw Buck Isaiah, she had already started gambling.
Bet that Nick will show up, that he will let Cage family go, or even bet that he won’t kill the Isaiah family.
But, will he?
Will Nick, who is so ruthless, show mercy to both the Cage and Isaiah families?
As the puzzles are slowly being solved, Veronica’s train of thought gradually became clear with a glimpse of enlightenment, and she thought that the idea was too naive.
Maybe it’s all for nothing.
It seems that she, like Buck, got confused after drinking.
When Veronica woke up in the morning, she reached for someone beside her, but she realized there was no one there and she opened her eyes instantly.
Seeing that there was no one on the bed, she was confused. She was stupefied for a couple of seconds before she reacted. Peter only slept with Isabella.
Veronica softened as if she was an ice cream directly exposed to sunlight and continued to lie in bed, staring at the ceiling in a certain trance.
Tomorrow is her rest day so she doesn’t have to worry about getting up so early.
She hasn’t had enough sleep since she had a child. She even forgot what it’s like to complete an 8-hour sleep or even more than that.
Veronica was suddenly startled when she heard something outside. She seemed to hear John Cage’s voice.
If John comes, then who brought him here?
Veronica abruptly got up, immediately walked out of the room, and carefully saw John and Peter playing together while Isabella was cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
“Mom!”
The little girl threw off her short legs and ran happily over, hugging her two legs. Peter climbed up and hung on her waist, mischievously unwilling to come down.
John also ran over and stood in front of Veronica. His little face on his back and his big eyes flickering. “Sister, you haven’t been to John’s house for a long time!”
“My Mom has to work overtime!” Cathy answered for her mother.
Julie and Josh nodded together, both of them looked cute.
Veronica asked John, “Did you come alone?”
“I’m alone. Am I good?” John’s eyes were bright and authentic.
‘Very impressive.’ Veronica Parker thought that’s what the driver sent him but if he didn’t mean Chloe Bowen, he wouldn’t be here, would he?
Chloe was smart. She knew Veronica doesn’t like her showing up, so just let John come and play with Peter. In this way, Veronica could let them in because she could never get furious with the children.
“You guys go and play. I’ll just wash my face.” Veronica pulled Peter off her body, and as soon as he landed, he ran to the other end with John.
The kids were playing on the foam board.
The cell phone on the nightstand was vibrating when Veronica came back to her room.
She picked up her phone and put it through. It was from Chloe. “Did John go to your place, Veronica? I won’t listen no matter what you say. You don’t mind if he has to find six children, do you? You know, John used to like them very much, and if you don’t let him go, you’ll be making a fuss. ”
“You’re right. John Cage is here. I really have nothing to do anything with him.” Veronica punned.
As if she didn’t understand, Chloe said, “Yes, children are simple-minded. Naive and innocent. As long as they have something or someone to play with. Besides, John likes you very much. I swear one day, if my brother doesn’t love him, you are the only one who loves him. ”
Veronica thinks this is no different from moral kidnapping.
“By the way, Mom is calling to thank you because Nick has given up buying Cage family’s company.”
Veronica was shocked and asked, “When did it happen?”
“Anyway, John’s father said this morning ‘thank you so much.’ He also said he would invite you to dinner, but I’m sure you don’t want to, so we’ll talk about dinner later. And Nick not only gave up the acquisition of Cage family companies, but also Isaiah family companies are now back in the normal market prices to buy money from them, but they cannot stay in the capital. I don’t think it’s too bad for them.”
Veronica’s cell phone was still pressed to her ear, shocked by Nick’s final decision.
So, did she win the bet?
She couldn’t believe she won the bet on Nick Cage!
But Veronica is not happy. On the contrary, she felt a little uneasy.
Nick willingly changed his mind because of her? He didn’t say anything when she got out of the car yesterday, but she remembered the dangerous atmosphere when she got off the bus and her wrist was tightly gripped by him.
“Don’t worry about what I said the other day. In fact, if you don’t help, I won’t tell you about the six children. I was just scaring you. ” Chloe changed her tune.
“I took it seriously,” Veronica answered and hung up the phone without waiting for Chloe to speak.
She sat down on the edge of the bed, a little dazed. It felt like a dream. Such a dream was given by Nick, who put so much pressure on her.
She just hoped this thing would eventually be over.
John has been playing here with the kids. No one asked him to go home so he had lunch there with them.
The six little ones in front of the table only turned into seven small ones, all of which are equally lovely.
Veronica smiled helplessly while looking at their adorable little faces.
After their meal, the seven kids went back to play. Veronica sat on the foam board, leaning her back against the sofa. She was looking at them, slightly losing herself in a trance.
“No, John is an asshole!” Cathy shouted with her eyes closed and her fists clenched.
John didn’t budge. “Cathy is a fool!”
“You are a fool! You are! ” Cathy was out of breath.
Peter said, “It’s not what you said!”
Julie bulged in, “No!”
Josh was so anxious that he burst into tears. “No, it’s not!”
Lily shook his two pigtails and stood with Cathy, “John is such an idiot!”
With that, the five little boys were about to go up and fight with John. When six of them rolled into a ball, Daniel realized that they were fighting, so he came forward and didn’t know whether he wanted to stop or join them. As soon as he got close, he didn’t know who kicked him out. Daniel was kicked over and rolled to the corner of the wall like a ball.
“Daniel, be careful!” Veronica was a bit surprised. What’s going on? If they aren’t having a good time, then why are they fighting?
She hurriedly went to pull the six little ones apart.
Cathy ran up to Veronica and complained, “Mom, John said we should call him ‘Uncle’!”
John also squeezed over, “Elder sister, won’t they call me ‘Uncle’?”
Cathy wrapped her arm around the panda, and her small fleshy finger pointed impolitely at John Cage. “No!”
Peter held the toy gun and said, “No!”
Julie clenched his fist, “No!”
Josh put his hands under his chin and said weakly, “No, we won’t. ”
Lily was ferocious, “We won’t play with you anymore!”
Daniel just blinked twice.
Veronica then probably knew why these seven fought.
They were talkative and they won’t stop until they would find a way to stop it.
But what should she say? The six youngsters don’t know anything about the complex love affairs her mom had.
Needless to say, John has shown another aggrieved look.
Veronica pursed her lips and thought about it for nearly a minute under the expectant gaze of seven pairs of eyes, and then asked, “Is it time for a nap?”
The seven little ones looked at Veronica with a question mark on their faces but she just laughed at them.
Half an hour later, Veronica put Selena Benson to sleep.
The seven little girls only slept in rows on the foam board, covered with a few blankets brought by Veronica, all of them were small and round.
Veronica went to lean on the sofa again and sighed after she took care of the children.
When she encountered this kind of difficult and complicated situation, it is better to divert her attention instead.
A child will always remain a child. And as soon as she diverts her attention, she would probably forget it soon.
