“I prefer to go straight in,” Nick Cage said.
She wanted to wait for Nick Cage’s hand to stop touching her skin. But it was not until the atmosphere in the air was filled with tension that she began to panic.
Without much thought, she took a step back from the touch of his hand.
“It’s all right. All of those happened a long time ago. Thank you for your concern,” Veronica Parker’s words felt like she was distancing herself from Nick Cage.
Nick Cage’s dark eyes stared at her for a moment.
With some tears in her eyes, Veronica Parker walked past him as she ready herself to leave the bathroom.
Nick cage grabbed her wrist and pulled her closer to him. In a flash, her back was pressed against the wall.
She was overshadowed by Nick Cage’s body.
He lifted her chin and said softly, “What are you nervous about? Am I not allowed to touch you?”
“It’s better for you to stay away from me,” Veronica Parker said as she looked at him stubbornly.
“But I want to be close to you.”
Veronica Parker was stunned when Nick Cage covered the distance between them in an instant. Their bodies pressed against each other in the cramped space. He moved his lips closer to her and Veronica Parker could hardly breathe.
Her eyes were filled with anger, and she was being roughly kissed by Nick Cage. They were so close that she could even hear Nick Cage’s gasps for air.
Veronica Parker’s limbs weaken and she almost lay flat on the bathroom floor.
Just in time, Nick Cage put his arms around her and if he was a second too late, she would have slipped to the ground already.
Veronica Parker felt dizzy and slowly she went outside as she gasped for air. She stared at him and hopes he noticed that she didn’t have much strength.
“It’s best not to get close to me. I might infect you,” Veronica Parker said.
“I’m afraid it’s not enough reason.”
Veronica Parker frowned slightly, “Nick, you’re going too far!”
“Am I asking for too much?”
Veronica Parker gritted her teeth and she stopped talking to him. She continued to pass by him and she entered her bedroom.
If only she was not afraid of infecting the six little ones then she wouldn’t want to stay in her room alone with that arrogant and dangerous man.
She turned around and stared at Nick Cage who followed her, “Aren’t you going to be with the kids? I’m not feeling well and I can’t go. ”
It would her best decision to get rid of that dangerous man’s presence first.
She watched as Nick Cage approached her. He was just walking at a normal pace but it made people nervous whenever they would feel his presence.
He wrapped one hand on her wrist and she felt something cold touching her skin. Nick Cage placed a familiar bracelet on her wrist.
Veronica Parker looked at her wrist and then her face became immediately worried, “What are you doing?”
“Don’t worry, there is no locator here.”
Veronica Parker looked at him suspiciously.
“Don’t take it off. Go to bed early,” Nick Cage said as his dark eyes cast a deep glance at her before he turned and walked away.
As she heard the sound of the door closing, the room stayed quiet for a while before Veronica Parker regained her senses.
She immediately took off the bracelet and turned around to look for something sharp to look if there was something inside.
But she didn’t see anything unusual.
If there was no locator inside then why was Nick Cage forcing her to wear that bracelet? There was something that felt unusual.
But even without a locator, she felt burdened whenever she looked at the bracelet that’s why she didn’t want to wear it.
However, if she didn’t wear it, it would make Nick Cage feel infuriated.
That man was so uncertain, who knows what he will do next.
Veronica Parker sat on the edge of the bed and put the bracelet on her wrist again.
In fact, she would rather wear the one given by Toby Cage but she knows very well that she can’t wear it.
She can’t let Toby Cage know about that, let alone Nick Cage.
She can only treasure it secretly.
She packed her things together with the bracelet. Back then, when she was ready to run away she didn’t expect that Nick Cage would show up, then she was forced to stay live with him before she got sick and stayed in the hospital. After she was discharged, she was brought directly to Winter Villa instead of her place.
She didn’t get a chance to go back.
All her stuff was still at her place.
Veronica Parker woke up in the morning and for some reason, she felt much better.
She got dressed after she washed, and she left the room.
She saw Isabella coming over and said, “You’re awake?”
“Where are the children?”
“I dropped them off at school. They wanted to see you before they left but I told them you were not feeling well and you will see them when they come back from school. They were disappointed but obedient.” Isabella said.
Veronica Parker thought about what Isabella said and then asked, “Where’s Nick Cage?”
“He’s still in his room, maybe he is resting,” Isabella said.
“Isabella, I’ll go back first. My things are still at my place. ” Veronica Parker said.
“You don’t want to live in Winter Villa?”
“As I’ve said before, I’m not going to live here. I will come back to accompany Peter again in the afternoon. ”
“Well, call me if you need anything.”
“I will.”
Veronica Parker got on the car, and Isabella watched her get on the car, then turned back to the hall and was startled to see Nick Cage, entering the hall.
Because she didn’t expect Nick Cage to get up so early.
“Mr. Cage.”
“Where is she going?” There was no expression on Nick Cage’s face.
“To her old place to get some of her things.” Isabella didn’t say anything else.
Nick Cage was silent, his black eyes sharp and deep.
Veronica Parker arrived at the door of her house and opened the door with her keys.
When she went in, Veronica Parker couldn’t find the box she had sorted out.
“Where is it?” Veronica Parker wondered.
Who took it?
Veronica Parker immediately thought of Nick Cage.
No one else would touch her things.
Let alone a thief.
She thought of the items on that bag.
Veronica Parker then remembered that the bracelet that Toby Cage gave her was in that bag.
If Nick Cage took the bag, he will see the bracelet and he will be angry with her again!
Veronica Parker was so anxious that when she was about to turn around and leave, Chloe Bowen came through the door.
She walked into the house and looked at Veronica Parker, angrily. “It’s not easy for me to find you!”
“What do you need?” Veronica Parker’s expression was cold.
“I’m your real mother. Do I have to talk to you only if I need something? Or, now that you are with Nick Cage, you don’t even want to talk to your own real mother? ”
“You didn’t want me.” Veronica Parker realized that Chloe Bowen was not the person she thought she knew.
Tracy Dora told her the truth, she could not believe that the person in front of her was her real mother, and what she had done was so vicious.
“Since when did I not want you? The last time I went to the Winter Villa, for Nick Cage, you did nothing for me? Why are you so ruthless?” Chloe Bowen questioned.
“Did you forget what you did to Nick’s family? Who do you think he is?”
Chloe Bowen said reluctantly, “What are you afraid of? It’s different now, you gave him six children? As long as you are the mother of his six children, you can do anything!”
“It’s none of your business. Mind your own business!” With that, Veronica Parker turned around and left. She didn’t want to talk to her anymore.
“Veronica Parker!” Chloe Bowen called her sharply behind her.
Veronica Parker paused but did not look back.
“Why can’t you understand my good intentions? Are you stupid? ”
” Are you the reason why Nick Cage’s parents broke up? ” Veronica Parker turned and looked at her coldly.
“What did you say? I’ve already explained that to you. It was a misunderstanding.”
