Chapter 109 Found
"No. It has nothing to do with him." Veronica knew in herself that she's not telling the truth.
It must be quite unbelievable and embarrassing to tell Chloe what happened to her.
For Veronica, this is a private matter that she needs to keep and she doesn't want to tell others about her terrible experience.
The most important reason is that no one can help her. It is because Nick is like the king of power.
"Veronica Parker, you--"
"Stop it. I'm hanging up." She hangs up the phone without waiting for Chloe to say anything.
With her phone aside, she sat on the foam board. Veronica leaned her back against the sofa, held her legs, and rested her chin on her lap, a posture and sign that she felt there was no sense of security around her.
She would huddle up when she was beaten by her father, and she would do the same when she was upset.
She ingrained in herself that it is right to avoid contact with Chloe. She has nothing to gain or lose, just as she did when she was a child. She has no father, no mother, and will remain the same in the future.
She doesn't care about it. She only cared about the fear that Nick could inflict on her.
Nick's warning to her the other day rang in her ears. Only if she has nothing to do with the Cage family can she live a long time?
Veronica thought that she had nothing to do with the Cage family in the first place, so she agreed.
If only she hadn't been stopped by Nick Cage, she would have gone away with her children and would never have returned to the Capital.
'Where did that thought came from?'
Veronica took her phone and checked to see the time.
'Will Peter and my other kids will be back soon?' She excitedly thought.
'What am I thinking? Depressive thoughts will do me no good.' She opened the video of the TV station that interviewed the children and watched it from the beginning. As soon as she saw her six little ones, she immediately became in a happy mood.
After seeing the six young children, a tinge of pain throbbed in her heart, and became sad when they answered the question of the host. She knew how hard it is to grow up without a father figure, but she's more afraid of their father and the things he can do. Veronica doesn't want to be away from her loving kids.
"I don't know. My Daddy is dead!"
Why did everyone answer so happily despite that pitiful situation? If Nick Cage knew that his children said that, he would be very livid. She doesn't know how extreme and furious he would react.
'No, he must not know that the children exist!' Her maternal love and motherly instinct kicked in.
The inner uneasiness of seeing the lovely appearance in the video of her children made Veronica's worry gradually dissipated.
As long as Peter, Daniel, Josh, Cathy, Lily, and Julie are around, she has nothing to be afraid of.
There was a sound of the opening of the door outside. Veronica looked up and saw six small people came in. When they saw their mom Veronica sitting on the sofa in a daze, they immediately opened their small hands, waved their short legs, and ran towards Veronica.
"Mom!" They all cooed and shouted cheerfully, elated to see their mom is back.
Veronica Parker opened her hand happily and remembered something in the middle of her thoughts. Before she could stop them, the six little ones threw themselves into Veronica's arms that directly made her throw herself to the ground. She wouldn't mind being tackled by her lovable children.
"Ah!" Veronica shouted. "Why do you always come at me altogether?" Smiling, she pretended to scold them.
All six little ones climbed onto her body.
When she turned around, she saw that Daniel, who had been squeezed down from her, got up and sat with his short hands and short feet. With an expectant expression on his face, the moment that he saw Veronica, his mouth was round and his eyes smiled like a crescent moon.
"You're back?" Isabella was overjoyed to see Veronica Parker. "When did you get back?"
"I came back for more than an hour." Veronica sat up from the ground and her babies fell one by one. The naughty and energetic ones fell flat on one side. Lily squatted on her waist, looked at her innocently like a kitten while Cathy sat next to her. The naughtiest child named Peter rolled down and climbed up to Veronica again. He climbed up to her from behind.
"Isabella, you've been working hard lately. Thank you for looking after my kids." Veronica Parker apologized.
"What are you working so hard for? Have you settled your affairs?" Isabella asked worriedly.
Veronica Parker said. "It's settled for the time being. I don't know in the future."
She is under his control and Veronica is certain that she can't leave the capital. She knew that Nick is hard and unfathomable to read. She can't predict what will happen in the future.
