“It’s Peter.” Veronica told Nick who kept giving her cold glares.
“Where did the other five children come from?”
“I adopted them.”
“Do you want me to check it out?” He asked.
Veronica was shocked. She didn’t understand what he meant. She then wondered why he’d ask her a question like that even after knowing Peter is his son.
Maybe it was also because it’s weird to adopt five children, she thought.
Nick took out his cell phone and put it on the coffee table with the spray bottle.
“It’s under investigation abroad. If you say it before I tell it to them, I’ll give you a break. ” Before Nick Cage had finished his words, his phone vibrated, deepening the tension.
Veronica’s heart was pounding.
How could Nick not investigate the matter of giving birth? As long as he had the slightest doubt, he’ll certainly investigate thoroughly.
Nick glanced at her coldly. He picked up his phone and was ready to answer when Veronica shouted.
“Sextuplets!” Veronica blurted out in a panic.
Nick suddenly dropped the phone he was holding, and he couldn’t believe what Veronica had said.
“How many?” He asked, his bubble was about to burst any minute now and he wanted answers.
Veronica simply frowned and said nothing. She thought there was no need to say it again.
The phone was still vibrating, so Nick picked up the phone and answered.
Veronica saw that Nick was dead silent as he furrowed his eyebrows.
The person on the phone was talking, but it was inaudible. She couldn’t understand it at all.
Nick suddenly threw away his phone. Veronica felt that everything that has happened flashed before her eyes as Nick suddenly slammed her against the wall.
“Damn it! I can’t believe you gave birth to children behind my back!”, Nick yelled at her.
Veronica felt like her neck was going to break.
“Let go!”
“Dead without Daddy, huh?” Nick mocked her.
“I-I didn’t mean to…” Veronica widened her eyes in shock. She didn’t think he’d remember that.
Nick kept gripping Veronica’s neck as if he really wanted to kill her right then and there. He couldn’t believe Veronica had five children behind his back and that infuriated him.
“Since you like to run so much, keep running!” Nick yelled at Veronica then let her go. He then turned around began to leave.
Veronica reacted and hugged his arm.
Nick turned to Veronica and glared at her. “Do you want to die?”
“You want to take the children?” Veronica asked and looked up at Nick.
Nick snorted as if he just heard a joke. “What do you think?”
“Fine. You can take them all, but I have one request.” Veronica pleaded. “I want them to meet me any time they miss me or when I miss them.”
Nick didn’t want Veronica to take the children at all. He understood why Veronica began pleading like that, but he didn’t want the same thing to happen again.
“You’ll never see the children again!” Nick told her mercilessly. He then pulled her hand away and tried to leave one more time.
Veronica immediately stood up and walked in front of Nick, attempting to stop him for the second time. “I gave birth to all of them, Nick. Isn’t that a bit ruthless?” Veronica pleaded once more.
“I just want to see them whenever they want to see me. Is that all right?” She added.
“You deserve to be punished for giving birth to children behind my back and running away with them.” Nick said as he gave her a stern look.
Veronica Parker’s eyes turned hot, her mind went blank, she held her tears back, and with a broken and heavy heart she then said, “Well, you can go ahead and take them with you. I know that it’s better for you to keep them than them following me. Plus, you have a plane, right? Go bring the plane over. They always want to fly, so I am sure that they will be happy to go with you. If it’s okay, I’ll go with you and go back to capital. But don’t worry, I won’t meet them without your permission. Do you think that will be all right?”
Nick Cage looked at her coldly. No emotion showed on his face.
Then, he turned around, opened the door, and went out.
Veronica Parker hurriedly followed over. She saw Nick Cage in front. He was already calling the plane to drive over.
Veronica Parker breathed a sigh of relief but did not understand his motive.
Veronica Parker looked at the building below her. She was amazed by how innocently their community looked like from where she was at. Everything about it. The people, the cars, everything. She was quite sure that anyone would not expect such a big battle going on this city.
If only they knew, it would surely make people shudder.
And they will be amazed by how she managed to escape.
“Mom!” Peter ran towards her with his short legs, he hugged her legs, then hid behind them, poked his head out, and secretly looked at Nick Cage with curious eyes.
“I’m a little scared, Mommy.”
Nick Cage looked at him with deep black eyes, remembering how he used to make trouble in his office.
He still couldn’t believe that this is his very own seed.
Let alone that they would meet more than once!
Veronica Parker squatted down, “Do you want to fly?”
“I want to fly! I want to fly!” Peter was happy.
“I want to fly, too, Mommy!” Cathy shouted.
“I love the plane!” Julie exclaimed.
“I want, too. Want to sit.” Josh countered.
“There’s a plane! Look, there’s a plane! ” Lily shook his pigtails.
“Ah.” Daniel blushed with excitement. His small round mouth was open.
The six little ones surrounded her., They bounced and hopped up and down happily.
“Hey kiddos. You remembered that day when you said that all the children in school have Daddy? Guess what, you also have a Daddy.” Veronica Parker said.
“Daddy is dead!” Peter rushed to answer.
“Dead.” Josh briefly replied.
All the other kids agreed.
The speechless Nick Cage looked ugly and scraped his eyes on Veronica Parker.
Veronica Parker tried to ignore the harsh look and said, “No, that is not true. Daddy is not dead. He is your Daddy.” Pointing to Nick Cage who was standing next to her. “And guess what? Daddy is taking you on a plane now! Would you like to sit down on the plane?”
Peter only looked at Nick Cage. He wanted to ride a plane all right, but didn’t Daddy already die?
Peter is the boldest of the kids. He walked up to Nick Cage, raised his head, and asked, “Are you really our Daddy?”
Cathy started to approach Nick Carter too, “Really?”
Nick Cage looked at the six little heads in front of him and answered, “Really.”
Shortly, they heard the sound of an airplane from the sky followed by a a gush of wind that set off the leaves, clothes and hair everywhere.
It stopped a few distance away from them.
If it gets anymore closer, it can blow people away.
After it fully stopped, Nick Cage, six little kids, Veronica Parker, and Isabella walked towards the plane.
They let the six little ones go up first. By the six little legs are too short to go up by themselves.
Nick Cage simply hugged three in one hand and went up so easily.
Veronica Parker and Isabella were speechless
It turned out that Veronica Parker was a thick-skinned woman after all. She pulled Isabella to get on the plane for fear that Nick Cage will leave them behind.
Isabella sat in the co-pilot’s seat.
Nick Cage, Veronica Parker, and the six little ones occupied the last four seats on the plane.
Everything was peaceful if only the six little ones remained on their seats. Instead, small hands started scratching the windows, small mouth opened round. Everyone is just very excited.
Veronica Parker looked at the man opposite her seat.
After they all sat down, she noticed that Nick Cage’s face turned cold, but his whole body was not angry and arrogant.
She also saw Nick Cage’s eyes fell on the six little ones all the time.
She couldn’t guess what he was thinking at that time.
While Veronica Parker was looking at Nick Cage, Nick Cage suddenly turned his eyes on her, and they became cold and dangerous again.
Frightened, Veronica Parker turned her gaze and looked away.
Nick Cage spoke indifferently before the plane took off, “Seat belt.”
