It was good to let Nick know how hard it was to take care of children, Veronica thought.
As Veronica yawned, Cathy reached out to her mom and pat her on the chest. “Let’s sleep, mommy.”
“I know, Cathy.” Veronica smiled and hugged Cathy. “Let’s sleep together.”
After Nick washed the boys, he went to the bedroom and found that Veronica was sleeping together with Julie, Lily and Cathy. For some reason, he felt a certain kind of warmth he never felt before, but he shrugged it off.
Veronica was tired from work, after all. So, when the three boys saw their mom and their sisters sleeping together, they all decided to cuddle up against their mom. Veronica didn’t mind the fact that the children started to cling to her and simply didn’t move a muscle.
Nick put the three boys into the innermost part of the bed and lowered his voice. “Make sure to be quiet when you lie down, you wouldn’t want to wake up mommy.”
The boys nodded and proceeded to lie down next to Veronica silently
Nick looked down at his wet clothes and decided to go to the bathroom to take a shower.
When he came back from the shower and dressed up, he took a glance at the three girls next to Veronica then moved them directly to the foot of the bed and put Cathy next to Julie.
Veronica moved a little, making her wake up for a little while but Nick took Cathy’s place and laid down, leaning Veronica’s head against his chest and making her go back to sleep.
Nick slightly trembled as he looked down at Veronica. He gently raised her chin, leaving Veronica’s face completely exposed to his own. He let out a smile and held Veronica tightly, as if he didn’t want to let her go.
The next morning, as soon as Veronica was half awake, she went to touch each child sleeping next to her. She felt that there was one child missing, so she opened her eyes and found out that she was being cuddled by Nick.
That made her lose her composure for a little while, but she decided to get up and count the children. There really was one child missing and it was Peter, who was leaning over the edge of the bed, lying on his back.
Veronica then got out of the bed and picked up Peter, who was half awake.
“Mommy…” Peter murmured as his eyes were still closed.
“Sleep again, Peter. You deserved it.” Veronica said as she kissed Peter on the cheek and put him on the bed.
Peter turned over and a cute little leg was then placed on Nick’s belly.
Veronica giggled. She left the bedroom and gently closed the door.
As she stood on the balcony, Veronica stretched her arms out, closed her eyes and took a deep breath. She felt as if last night was the most comfortable sleep she ever had. Nick and six of her children had cuddled up to her as they fell asleep and that made her happy.
She then thought that It would be nice if they could do this more often in the future.
She had children with Nick, so she couldn’t reject him completely. She knew that. Even if Nick was somehow afraid of her, some things are inevitable.
It was like Nick’s forbidden fruit was Veronica, and that made Veronica shiver by just the thought of it.
All of a sudden, there was a noise behind her. Veronica thought it was the children, but she was wrong.
As soon as she looked behind her, she saw Nick who had a messy bedhead, looking like he had just woken up. At first glance, Veronica thought it was caused by the children, but they weren’t awake yet.
Veronica looked at Nick nervously. She didn’t know what to say to him, so she tried his best not to spoil his mood.
“I-I’m going to make breakfast.” Veronica stuttered as she tried her best to avoid Nick’s presence.
As soon as Veronica walked past Nick, he simply followed Veronica as she went out of the balcony.
While Nick was following Veronica, she couldn’t help but straighten her back slightly because of her nervousness, but then she also noticed that there was something wrong with Nick because she felt as if his body was as stiff as a board.
“Don’t be so nervous, Veronica. It’s normal for men to get up in the morning.” Nick said as he whispered in an audible voice and smirked, clearly sensing Veronica’s nervousness.
Veronica Parker swallowed, gritted her teeth, and looked away awkwardly. “I’m going to check in on the kids.”
Before she could even finish what she wanted to say, Nick Cage, suddenly moved closer to her, enveloped her with his warm body, and surprisingly gave her a kiss on her lips.
Veronica Parker was terrified of what was going on. Her eyes opened wide. She could not believe what was happening. She wanted to push Nick Cage’s body away, but her hands unexpectedly fell on Nick Cage’s chest instead. She could not explain what was going on with her, but she felt that all her strength instantly vanished as if some machine took it all away from her. She felt so weak that she found herself starting to give in to whatever Nick Cage was doing.
It was only after a series of invasions, entanglements inside and outside, and a lot of passionate kisses that Nick Cage let her go.
Veronica Parker gasped for air and questioningly stared at him, not only her eyes trembled, but everything in her mind appeared blurred!
“I felt I needed to do that. Immediately after I got out of bed, that was everything I have been thinking of doing.” Nick Cage closed his eyes, his black eyes as black as ink. He then squeezed Veronica Parker’s chin and looked down at her, his voice as low as a hoarse voice, and said, “Thanks. I feel so much better now”
Veronica Parker was speechless. She looked away first and then blurted out, “Am I some punching bag to you? I don’t need to take whatever blow you feel like doing when you wake up. Anyway, can you step back a little bit?” She sternly asked, desperately trying to mask the nerves that she is feeling all over at the moment.
There is no way Nick Cage could be acting like this. He was never warm with her. He has always been hostile and so she couldn’t fathom what just happened.
He pinched her on the chin one more time. His fingers slightly rubbed on her skin, letting her feel his rough and manly hands. “Wait a minute”
“What are we waiting on? I don’t see any reason I have to stay here with you. Plus, it is a lot better for the two of us to be separated. Let us make sure that this never happens again.”
Nick Cage was intentional. He wanted to see Veronica Parker panic. He stared at her intently as if he was reading through her soul.
Veronica Parker couldn’t push him away, so she just forced to change the subject hoping it will derail him. “By the way, did my mother give you her money because that was what she told me?”
Nick Cage’s dark eyes deepened and sharpened upon hearing what Victoria Parker said, “Huh?”
“Well, you see, if she had that means I don’t owe you money anymore. I am not under you anymore. We are even” Veronica Parker said.
Nick Cage’s lips slightly turned upside down, his black eyes turned deeper and deeper. He put more pressure on Veronica Parker’s body as he pinned himself even closer to her.
Veronica Parker’s face froze, and her body trembled. “You.”
“Are you still innocent? Huh?” The naughty Nick Cage teased her.
Veronica Parker gritted her teeth. She was once again speechless.
Nick Cage’s actions were so straightforward that she knew she had no choice but dodged him but dodge she can’t do.
Talking to Nick Cage about innocence is just self-deception.
Nick Cage was extremely dangerous now. He acted as if he was ready to invade her at any time. She dared not move, held her breath in her chest, and made sure that she does not give off anything that might get misinterpreted as submission.
Just then, they heard a knock on the door. Veronica Parker thanked whoever that was who rescued from Nick Cage’s emotional suffocation. “I’ll get the door”
With that, she pushed Nick Cage away from her and fled to the door.
The door opened and the waiter reappeared to bring breakfast.
The waiter was not surprised to see Veronica Parker showed up again. Besides, it was the second time that she opened the door for him.
The effect of panic from everything that Nick Cage did that morning was so serious that after the door closed, Veronica Parker turned away from where he was at and immediately headed to her room.
Veronica Parker didn’t go to the TV station that Sunday to accompany her six little ones. She was glued to them all night, last night.
After what happened this morning, she couldn’t help but think that everything was premeditated by Nick Cage.
After breakfast, she and the six little kids went to Winter Villa in Nick Cage’s car.
As soon as they got out of the car, the sextuplets waved their short legs merrily like a round little penguin.
“Aircraft! I want to see the aircraft!”
“Me, too!”
Veronica Parker saw the cute appearance of the six little ones. Just as she was about to follow them, her cellphone rang.
Who could be calling her? It must be someone from work. She thought to herself.
She took out her cell phone and looked at it. Her expression changed slightly at the sight of who was calling. She just stood there not showing any intention of answering the call.
“Are you not going to answer your phone?” Nick Cage looked at her maliciously.
Veronica Parker turned off the phone. “It’s not that important.”
With that, she turned around and left.
This expression of guilt on her face made Nick Cage’s aura suddenly cold and his eyes clouded.
Bob, who came over, wondered if anything happened?
“Here comes Mr. Cage, Mr. Oscar”
Nick Cage was stunned and walked in the direction of the hall.
In the side hall, there was a man standing in front of the whole glass wall, and in the distance were Veronica Parker and the six little ones. The man has his back turned against him. He has broad shoulders, a narrow waist, and long legs, and has a slightly strong figure.
