Chapter 322 My Mind Says No But My Heart Says Otherwise
Before she had finished talking, she looked at the palm of Nick Cage and there it was, the bracelet that she threw into the lake.
Veronica Parker flashed her eyes, looked up at him and said, "You found it. Were you just waiting for me to say it?"
"You can refuse it if you want to." Nick Cage proposed.
Could Veronica Parker refuse a person such as Nick Cage? If she would refuse his offer, the possessive Nick Cage would definitely pursue for that implant locator and place it on her body. And she doesn't want that. "Give it to me. I'll just put it on." Veronica Parker went forward to reach for the bracelet and get it. As soon as her fingertips touched the bracelet, Nick Cage took the opportunity and forcefully pulled her over towards him. She was then caught off guard. .
Veronica Parker fell into Nick Cage's arms and was forcefully seated on his lap. The sturdy touch faintly revealed indescribable feeling, which made her feel uneasy too. "What are you doing Nick?" She asked.
His face was serious. He looked at her as if it was the first time he'd seen her that close. He intricately looked at every detail of her face and was amazed by her beauty. He tried to conceal what he felt and just placed the bracelet a little farther away from her.
Veronica Parker frowned and looked at him feeling confused.
"Hand it over to me now. It's what you wanted, right?" She challenged him. Nick Cage shook his head.
Veronica Parker couldn't grasp what he was trying to imply. Her mind was running in circles now and couldn't think properly.
Then there was silence for a while.
Nick Cage spoke, "I changed my mind." There was no expression on his face when he said that. As if it was nothing. He pinched her chin and spoke again in a domineering way, "Forget about the bracelet. Don't worry because the locator will soon be implanted on your body."
"That's impossible. You can't do that." Veronica Parker's voice was a bit feeble and her face looked troubled already. Her heart was pounding again, as if it would rip off her chest. She almost choked because of fear. She wanted to scream with so much anger towards him but she couldn't. "Yes I can. I can do whatever I want." He responded with a serious tone.
The strength of her jaw tightened which also forced her to face Nick Cage's sharp and deep black eyes.
Veronica Parker's eyes trembled. She couldn't say a word.
A memory of him kissing her came back and it reminded of her how passionate he could be. She couldn't resist his charms. She was like a baby longing for his touch, his gentle caress and warm kisses. Veronica Parker felt a stifling sensation in her chest, and then her legs trembled.
Nick Cage's big hand clenched tightly.
She quickly snapped and brushed off the idea away from her mind. She should control herself. If she won't, something might happen again.
She hurriedly turned her face away from him and gasped for breath, "I...I'm going to Winter Villa. I better get ready and change." Nick Cage deeply sighed and his eyes deepened.
Unexpectedly, loosened his grip and let her go.
When she got up, he noticed the red finger marks on her leg.
His brow frowned slightly. He didn't realize that he held her so tight. As soon as she stood up, the cell phone on the small table rang.
She looked towards the small table and wondered who would call her at that time.
Her heart was beating fast. She thought of Tom Parker again.
She went to reach for her cell phone and found out that it was from a strange number again.
Without having second thoughts, she just hung up.
Nick Cage's dark eyes deepened and was curious as to who just called her. With a serious tone he asked, "Aren't you going to answer that?"
"I don't know who the caller was. The number was not registered on my phone" Veronica Parker answered. She turned around just said, "I'm going to change my clothes."
Nick Cage's eyes were still very anxious. He was not convinced by what Veronica Parker said about the caller.
After going out, Veronica Parker followed Nick Cage, vaguely aware of some changes in Nick Cage's mood.
They felt kind of uneasy with each other.
Veronica Parker looked at Nick Cage and wondered what happened to him. Earlier he was just fine. But now, something was not right.
She wondered if she did anything wrong to offend him or to ever make him feel bad.
Veronica Parker pretended not to notice anything and just kept quiet. She just went on and observed his actions.
As soon as they got into the car, they drove going to Winter Villa.
All throughout, Nick Cage didn't say a word. He just kept mum and was her. The silence was deafening. Veronica Parker was still very cautious of her movements.
She doesn't like it whenever he keeps quiet. Sure enough that he was thinking of something.
As soon they reached Winter Villa, they noticed that the door was wide open.
Veronica Parker immediately saw Chloe Bowen, and felt the terrible change in the Nick Cage's mood.
Veronica Parker wondered why Chloe Bowen was there.
