Veronica Parker told Tom Parker that he didn’t have to see Nick Cage.
But if she tried to get rid of Tom Parker, it would make her suspicious.
Veronica Parker could only try her luck.
She walked to the room with the wine in her arms. She observed the look and reaction of the bodyguard.
Until she stood at the door of the room, the bodyguard did nothing, as if he could not see her.
She knew it.
She looked at her right. Tom Parker was still there watching!
He smiled at her which made Veronica Parker sick to her stomach.
With a push to the door, the bodyguard went in.
When he went inside, Veronica Parker saw the people who were there. Nick Cage, Kay Tours, and several other men she did not know, including a woman who was sitting with him, pouring his wine.
Kay Tours sat down beside an enchanting woman. Nick Cage was not by his side, which made him seem a little out of place.
Veronica Parker went in slightly abruptly, which caused the people to look over.
In particular, the deep and sharp line of sight swept by Nick Cage made Veronica Parker feel guilty and uneasy.
Kay Tours said to her, “Veronica Parker, why don’t you come here and join us?”
“Yes!” Veronica Parker answered. She placed the wine in front of Nick Cage. “I heard you were here. This wine is for you.”
Nick Cage looked at her coldly, his black eyes were as cold as ice.
Everyone in the room was quiet, the movements were cautious, and the air became more suppressed.
Veronica Parker was nervous all over.
“This is the kind of wine Mr. Cage usually drinks here, and it’s very expensive,” Kay Tours said. “Veronica Parker, you really know Mr. Cage by heart.”
Veronica Parker felt that her body was going to be riddled with holes by Nick Cage. “Then I’ll open the wine for you!”
Witt brought her a bottle opener. Veronica Parker tried to open the bottle.
That was the first time Veronica Parker would open a wine bottle.
Especially in front of Nick Cage, her hands trembled with great effort.
With a loud sound, the cork of the bottle was finally taken out. The wine was quickly poured into the empty glass in front of Nick Cage and she handed it to him.
“Mr. Cage, let’s have a drink?” Veronica Parker asked.
Nick Cage looked at her as cold as frost, not angry and intimidating. “Are you here to apologize?”
Veronica Parker was stunned. Nevertheless, she came in to show Tom Parker that it would be better to be kicked out by Nick Cage.
She was not expecting that he would ask that.
“Yes. Yeah.” Veronica Parker did not want to mess with him and she would have to bear with it until the very end.
“What else?” Nick Cage asked.
All the nerves in Veronica Parker’s brain jumped and the wine in her hand was rippled with instability.
What Nick Cage wanted was for her to take the initiative to say when to leave Tom Parker.
That was why she did not want to get close to Nick Cage.
As the air froze, other people were on pins and needles, wondering if they were supposed to listen to the next conversation.
She could not help but look at Kay Tours.
After all, he was Nick Cage’s chief secretary! He knew more about the situation than anyone could!
However, Kay Tours just sat there and watched, giving no response at all.
“Get out!” Nick Cage’s voice was calm, but it was frighteningly cold.
Veronica Parker opened her mouth and was about to leave.
She heard Kay Tours respectfully obeyed, “All right Mr. Cage, we’ll be right out.”
With that, he got up, winked at the others, and hurriedly left the room.
Veronica Parker just froze, panicked. What was Nick Cage doing?
“Are you going to stand up and just talk to me all the time?” Nick Cage asked unfathomably.
Veronica Parker glanced around at the sofa seat and chose to sit next to Nick Cage.
“Should I sit?”
Veronica Parker was in a daze, she could not understand him.
She could not stand nor sit, did he want her to squat in front of him?
Veronica Parker would not do it.
She put her glass in front of Nick Cage, leaned lazily on the back of the sofa, and said, “I thought you were waiting for me, Mr. Cage?, Can’t we live in peace? I am living with my father now. Besides, I have not lived there for a while. Why are you so angry?”
Nick’s cold black eyes were shooting daggers at Veronica. He remained silent and emotionless.
“You looked unhappy with my amorous behaviour,” Veronica said gloomily and decided to get up and go.
Veronica let out a sigh of a surprise when Nick dragged her back. She fell into her sturdy lap. “You…”
She was out of words when she came face to face with Nick’s sharp features. Her brows furrowed in confusion.
“Who told you that I was waiting for you? Huh?” Nick finally asked.
“It’s just a misunderstanding.” She answered breathlessly.
His silence was so dangerous that Victoria felt like she would be devoured at any moment.
“Do you think that I’ll let you babysit?”
“I believe I’ve already discussed with you the matter regarding the child. I do not know what is the big deal about it.” Veronica gave him a final look of resentment and was about to get up when Nick suppressed her attempt again. She was now pressed on the sofa.
“Are you trying to provoke me?” Nick squeezed her chin.
“I am not trying to provoke you. Let me go so I can be on my own.”
“You came here, but I won’t let you leave yet.”Nick’s eyes narrowed dangerously.
“There are so many capable women out there Mr. Cage. Why does it have to be me?”
Veronica helplessly asked.
Nick stared at her for a moment and realized that she had a point. He had the same question to himself that seemed like he could not answer. Veronica may always get on his nerves but she is everything that he could think about. She could make his mind and body restless.
Before she could say another word, her mouth was already invaded by Nick and she didn’t even have a chance to catch her breath.
Veronica tried to push Nick, she felt rather confused and uncomfortable.
She tried vigorously but it was nothing compared to Nick’s strength. All her efforts to free herself went in vain.
Nick finally let go of the kiss and she was able to gasp for air. But his body was still pressed against her. She feared that Nick may strangle her and lose his control.
“Please, Nick. Don’t.”
“I already told you that if you come here, you will not be able to leave,” Nick stated.
“Then please let me see my kids!” Veronica almost begged him.
Nick eventually let her go and stood up. “Get out.” He viciously spat at her.
She was still lying on the sofa and her vision was blurred by tears that are tending to flow from her eyelids. Nick was so uncertain and it made her feel beyond confused. She could not indeed keep up with the man’s sudden change of behavior.
She had no choice but to sit up and fix her clothes. She took a last glance at Nick’s abdomen but immediately withdrew her eyes from it.
“I’m leaving.” She was about to exit the room when she remembered the wine. She immediately took it from the coffee table and proceeded to leave.
When Veronica reached the hallway, Nick’s face grew even more stoic.
He had no idea where the luxurious wine came from. Nick is no stranger to the wine that Veronica brought him and he could not believe that she would spend such a price just to coax him.
It seemed like Nick had a strong resolve to not allow Veronica to see her children so he would rather not touch her than to make her compromise.
“What happened to you?” Tom asked Veronica upon seeing her.
