It was not yet 9:30 in the morning. It was just a false alarm.
After breakfast, Bob brought some supplements for Veronica.
Veronica took the supplements with her eyes closed.
“Well?” Veronica frowned and looked at Bob expectantly. Bob immediately handed her the towel. She wiped her mouth. “Thank you!” She uttered.
Bob was flattered by her gratefulness. “You’re welcome.”
Veronica saw Nick stood up and hurriedly followed him. “Mr. Cage, my stomach-ache is gone, can I go back?”
Nick took the coat that Bob handed over and put it casually on his arm. ” Don’t let her out of your sight. She cannot go anywhere but here.” Nick commanded “Yes.” Bob responded in trepidation.
After Nick Cage confessed, he went out.
“No.” Veronica Parker caught up and hugged Nick’s arm. “You said I could go when I recovered!”
Nick glanced coldly across her hand with a warning.
Veronica let go of her arm with some fear.
But when she watched Nick Cage get ready to get on the bus, she ran directly to close the door, leaned against the door, and stretched out her arms.
But when Nick prepared to get on the bus, she ran to the door and stretched her arms towards him.
“I may not be able to touch you but please let me know what happened to you at least” Before she had finished speaking, she saw the shadow of Nick came without saying a word, which made her gasp. She was taken aback when she felt Nick’s tender lips pressed into hers. Veronica was kissed by Nick on a Rolls-Royce.
Never in her wildest dreams did she think about it happening.
She felt her lungs slowly lose oxygen as the kiss deepened. She was unable to think of anything else and her body became weak. If Nick hadn’t put his arms around her waist, she would have slipped and fallen on the ground.
Dizziness took over her body that she lost her sense of direction. She felt Nick scooped her light body like what a prince does in fairy tales.
They entered the hall and laid Veronica down carefully. Nick reached out and grabbed her chin. “Be good to me, or I’ll let you stay here for another month.” He slightly raised her chin.
“Huh?” She uttered in confusion.
After the terrible warning, Nick’s dark shadow left.
Veronica could hear the faint sound of Nick’s footprints as he walks further away from her. The mist in Veronica Parker’s pupil trembled slightly. She sat up upon regaining her consciousness. Nick was long gone.
Veronica frowned and felt so lonesome.
She didn’t know if there are still other ways to show her obedience to Nick. She didn’t even know when Nick would finally allow her to leave.
If she were only alone, she might stand living in that place for a longer time. However, six little ones needed to be taken care of. She could not bear to work overtime every day and she’s so sick of it already. Veronica stood up, left the hall, and went upstairs to the room.
Her phone was still in the bedroom.
Veronica needed to call Tracy. She tried to remember Tracy’s phone number and dialed it on the phone. It rang three times before the call finally went through., “Who is it?” Tracy answered on the other line
“Hello, this is Veronica speaking.”
“Miss Parker?” Tracy was surprised.
“It’s me. I’m sorry about what happened yesterday. I want to thank you personally.” Veronica said. “Thank you for helping me hide the baby.”
“I thought Mr. Cage knew.”
Veronica thought that it was exactly what she had guessed.
“You know, if Mr. Cage knew what you were thinking, the consequences would not be that good. It’s better to not mess with him I can see how Mr. Cage treated you compared to others. That’s the reason why I didn’t expose you on the spot. ”
“A good thing? I don’t understand what you mean.”
“I think you lied about having a baby because you cared about Mr. Cage, for fear that he might lose interest in you?” Tracy replied.
“Sorry” Veronica urged Tracy to enlighten her
“It’s already a normal thing for Mr. Cage to have a woman around him ”
Nick Cage’s character is really terrible. It even seemed like he is a devil reincarnate.
Veronica thought of how always having a woman around is considered normal for Mr. Cage knowing the fact that he already has a fiance named Rachel Hamilton. It should be considered more normal if he already got married. “What kind of woman does Mr. Cage wants by the way?” Veronica dared to ask.
“Didn’t you really understand what I meant?” Tracy asked.
Veronica Parker looked stunned and then said, “That’s impossible.”
“If you considered it impossible, then why do you want me to hide it?” Tracy countered.
Veronica frowned slightly. That is indeed the reason why Tracy did not spill the truth to Nick. If she would continue to deny it, Tracy might become suspicious of her and would eventually reveal the truth to Nick. “Yes, I like him, and I don’t want him to know.” Veronica had no choice but to admit it.
“You better make sure he will never know then”
“I certainly would” With that, she hung up the phone
After their conversation, Veronica thought if she would have to hide the truth forever. The term “forever” is such a vague concept for her. She can’t even guarantee how long ‘forever’ will be.
She felt like she always has to keep her guards up when she’s around Nick. Otherwise, Nick might discover her hidden feelings for him. She has to be careful.
She called Isabella again when she regained her ability to think straight. She told Isabela her predicament and that she was not able to leave that day.
Veronica was no stranger to Winter Villa. In fact, she used to marvel there like a hillbilly. In any case, it never occurred to her that the man she slept with three years ago has such a prominent status!
But then again, even if she knew it three years ago, she would only think that it was a perfectly normal phenomenon for a rich man to sleep with a woman.
After it happened, they were gifted with six children. She returned home for the King group and became the cousin of her ex-boyfriend who turned out to be her mother’s stepson.
Their fate was interlinked and so perplexing.
Nick has been out all day. Upon coming back, he noticed that Veronica is lying on the sofa on the open-air balcony playing with her cell phone.
She got up immediately when she heard the sound of the car engine.
She stood by the guard rail and looked down.
Nick seemed to have noticed that someone’s watching him got off the bus and raised his head to meet her gaze. Their eyes met from a distance.
Veronica clenched his teeth and was delighted that Nick is finally back.
She turned and ran downstairs. She hurriedly welcomed Nick. Nick is a rather lanky man with a condescending aura.
There was even a deterrent in Veronica’s deep, cold black eyes.
She squinted and smiled. “You are finally back, Mr. Cage.” Nick faintly withdrew his eyes and threw his coat to Bob.
Before Bob reached out, Veronica already grabbed his clothes with a straight face. “I got it! No big deal!”
She took his cloth and hung them to the designated area. Nick Cage went to the bathroom to wash his hands. Veronica followed, leaned against the door, and held the door frame. Her attitude was different from that of the morning. Nick paid no heed to her. He concentrated on washing his slender big hands instead.
Even if he’s merely washing his hands, it made people feel that he is so proud inviolable, and with indescribable charm.
As soon as he finished, Veronica handed him the towel to wipe his hands.
