Chapter 224 Whole Lies and Broken Trust
She placed her ears on the phone and heard Peter said, "Mom, I ate carrots today!"
"Well, Peter that's great!" Veronica Parker squinted and smiled.
"Mom, I taught Daniel to write today!" Cathy joined.
Daniel nodded his head with a slow half-beat, "Yes, Cathy teach me how to write Mom "
"Both of you were very good today!" Veronica Parker thought, how can Cathy teach Daniel how to write when she didn't even know how to? But she just kept that to herself.
Julie said, "Mom, Josh didn't finish his meal, I helped him eat it up!"
Josh said, "No Mom I ate it all by myself."
Veronica Parker felt a little depressed. If Julie would not help Josh eat, he would not be able to finish his meal. It should have been her who's doing that for the six little ones. She remembered how when people around Josh had finished eating, he would not feel the urge to keep eating.
From one of the seats Lily said, "Mom, I was mentioned by the teacher today!"
Veronica Parker thought for a moment and asked, "Did she give you a compliment?"
"Well! The teacher said that my braids are so cute! "Lily said, shaking her two pigtails, it was really cute. Veronica Parker wanted to stay looking at Lily like that because that little girl never failed to make her heart feel like it was about to melt.
Just as she was listening to the milky sound of six babies, she was surprised by the sound of an arriving vehicle outside causing the teacup beside her to fall on the ground.
The scared Veronica Parker quickly lowered her voice and said, "Mom is going to work, so stop talking!" Wait for Mom to come back tomorrow! Isabella, that's it."
She heard the noise outside getting nearer. There was the sound of someone's footsteps. With that, she hung up the phone quickly.
Nick Cage opened the door and saw the broken teacup on the floor and he knew that something was going on.
Was she going against him?
Nick Cage looked up and his black eyes swept sharply towards the bedroom.
He went into the bedroom just as Veronica Parker came out of the bathroom.
Veronica Parker received the cold glow of Nick Cage's eyes and said, "I was just about to take a bath."
She pursued her lips and walked to the bed.
"Give it here," Nick Cage ordered.
"What?" Veronica Parker was stupefied for a moment and realized that Nick Cage wanted her cell phone. She was holding the cell phone in her hand, "I'm not doing anything. I'm just called Isabella before I take a shower."
"I have no patience, Veronica. I said give me the phone."
Veronica Parker sighed helplessly and handed over the phone feeling a bit irritated, "You can see it for yourself if you want! You'll see that I'm telling the truth."
Nick Cage opened the phone records and found that the previous call was true with Isabella and the timing was just right.
"Is that enough?" Veronica Parker angrily took the phone and threw it on the nightstand.
"Isabella doesn't trust me. As long as I work overtime, she will call me even if I already called her in the morning. As expected, she was still worried when I told her that I would not be able to go home for two days. She even asked me if I had gone to Toby Cage again. She already begged me to resign Nick!" Veronica Parker continued, "But I also know I can't quit my job so I always try to calm her until she felt secure. When can I go back? Do you always want Isabella to be scared for me?"
With a deep voice and a tone of command, Nick Cage said, "Come here Veronica" He leaned against the armrest of the sofa, gazing at her with dark eyes. He just kept staring at her with sharp eyes.
Veronica Parker looked at him with confusion in her eyes, "What are you doing?"
"Why do you keep being disobedient?" Nick Cage asked.
She was not able to reply for a moment. Veronica Parker gritted her teeth and tried not to speak with a tone of anger. Any sign of negative emotions and he would be going to threaten her! She braved herself and tried to keep some distance from the man but she was immediately dragged over by the impatient Nick Cage, "What the ---."
Veronica Parker fell into Nick Cage's muscular chest and felt a bit scared that she wanted to get out of the room. Suddenly she felt his tight grip around her waist and she could not move.
"Nick, what are you doing?" Veronica Parker asked, her cheeks turning to a light shade of pink.
"I haven't realized it back then but I want you to be my woman," Nick Cage raised her chin and touched her delicate skin with the tips of his fingers.
