Chapter 621 A Not So Pleasant Surprise
Chapter 621 A Not So Pleasant Surprise
Back in the room, Clare Parker sat there, took the phone next to her, and dialed a number. When the person on the other line answered, she spoke and said, "Veronica Parker already knows about the wedding anniversary."
"As expected, she is smarter than you." Toby Cage responded.
Clare Parker's face turned red because Toby Cage insulted her. So she angrily asked him, "Where are you?"
"We pushed through with the banquet and the plan was canceled." She added.
When he heard that, everything made sense to him, and figured that the continuation of the party was just to reassure Veronica Parker.
By the end of the day, Veronica Parker went straight back to her apartment. She wasn't ready to go to the banquet nor was she willing to get an expensive gift for Sarah North. She would rather spend her money for herself or the children. She wouldn't have second thoughts if it was for them. Not long after arriving at the apartment, she received a call from Tom Parker. "Where are you now Veronica? How come I didn't see you?" He asked.
"Oh, I went home already. I'm so sorry but I'm not coming." She politely responded.
"Not coming? Why is that so?" He inquired.
"Well, I'm a little tired from work. So I went home early to have a rest." She explained.
"Alright then, you rest well!" He bid goodbye and hung up.
After her conversation with Tom Parker, Veronica Parker decided to cook noodles and waited for Sarah North to call her again.
Noodles were cooked already, but she didn't receive any call from her.
She was a bit surprised that she didn't hear anything from them again and that was very unlikely of them not to ask her questions.
Tom Parker and Sarah North made up after a quarrel overnight, and the wedding anniversary party continued.
Veronica Parker thought there was some big hole waiting for her to jump into and she didn't want to do that. She was always ready to come up with all sorts of reasons just to get rid of it. But neither did she expected Tom Parker to call and check on her. Something's not right and she's going to find out about it.
Veronica Parker won't allow that family to fool her.
The wedding anniversary was Toby Cage's idea. And Clare Parker thought it was her chance to benefit out of it. But she was mistaken and something went wrong.
Toby Cage was unpredictable and people never expected something outrageous from him.
Veronica Parker was just waiting for his next move. But she hoped too that he won't be ruthless towards her.
She just presumed some thoughts while enjoying her noodles.
Veronica Parker used to think that being alone was lonely. But now that it's quiet and comfortable, she felt strange.
She snapped back and decided to just enjoy her noodles, probably watch a movie or maybe play games on her phone. She has nothing to worry about because she's all by herself.
While enjoying it, the door was unexpectedly pushed open by somebody from outside. She instantly felt frightened so she immediately stood up and took a deep breath. Her face turned pale when she saw a shadow slowly approaching her.
Nick Cage glanced, slammed the door, and came over. Then he sat down opposite the dazed Veronica Parker.
One leg was folded, his hand was casually resting on his one knee then he lazily looked at Veronica Parker.
It took Veronica Parker several seconds to react and to swallow the rest of the noodles. She was shocked to see Nick Cage. She couldn't believe that he was actually there in front of her. So she asked, "What are you doing here?"
"Can't I visit you?" He asked her with a straight face.
"That's not what I meant." She clarified.
Veronica Parker was devastated. When she went home, all she ever wanted was to rest and enjoy her alone time. But when Nick Cage came, she realized that her day would end differently.
She wanted to tell him to just go back to the Winter Villa and leave her alone. But she couldn't. She wanted to avoid him. But all she could do now was face him and spend time with him. He left her no choice.
