Chapter 424 It's About Time
Veronica stood with her mouth slightly open in surprise. She wondered what on earth made Nick go back and follow her.
"Where are you taking them?" He asked.
"Sorry?" Veronica was initially puzzled. He followed Nick's gaze and realized that there were six children standing in line behind her.
"Oh my God! How did you get out?" She was so surprised to find her little ones in the subway. She realized that she was so occupied with her own thoughts that she didn't even notice them sneaking behind. That is the reason why people kept on smiling at her.
The children lunged and hugged her legs. "We want to go to work with Mom!" Peter shouted.
"We want to work with you so we can see you every day, Mom!" Cathy said in excitement.
"We don't want to read!" Julie yelled.
"We don't like it, Mom!" Josh added
"If we go to work with you, are we going to be workmates, Mom?" Lily asked.
"Yes! We can be mom's workmates!" Daniel nodded in agreement.
Veronica could not help herself to smile in amusement at her six children's sweet and innocent ramblings. They would definitely cause a sensation if they would appear on TV. The only thing that she's worried about is her children's intolerance when it comes to reading.
"I'm sorry!" The kindergarten children rushed in panic. "I was doing something and when I turned around, they are no longer there. Please forgive my negligence." Veronica could see how terrified and sorry the teacher was. It was enough for her and she didn't want the teacher to be further reprimanded by Nick.
"That's alright. My children are indeed very naughty."
Veronica squatted to have a word with Peter. "This will not happen again, okay? You should be good at school and please don't cause any trouble to the teacher. Mom will go to work, and you guys go to school. If you ever do it again, mom will be very worried." She tried to explain to his son. Are you going to sleep with us tonight, Mom?" Cathy asked.
Six innocent eyes waited expectantly for her answer. She knew that she could not refuse her children. "Mom is not busy today. So, yes. I will be sleeping with you tonight."
"Yay!" The children cheered in joy.
"I think I should take them now to school." The teacher said to Veronica.
"Once again, I apologize for my children's behavior." She replied politely.
"It's no worries." The teacher smiled at her. She then ushered the children on the way back to school.
After walking a few steps, Peter turned around and waved his tiny hands at Veronica.
"We'll be good at school, Mom!"
"Very well, honey!" She waved at him too.
"Get inside." Nick's growl snapped Veronica out of reverie. Without the children, she could barely stand Nick's presence.
She didn't understand why Nick came back for her. He must be in a dire need to vent out his anger to someone.
Nick's bodyguard opened the door for her. She hesitated a little but eventually get in and closed the door.
The Rolls-Royce sped up until all the other cars began to blur.
"The child has no idea what he's talking about," Nick said in an attempt to break the piercing silence inside the car.
"I really didn't notice them behind me." She said nonchalantly.
She wondered what's going on in Nick's mind at that very moment.
"Anyway, are you taking me to the TV Station?" she asked him.
"Yes."
She knew that there was no point in asking. Nick is such an unpredictable person who would usually make decisions on a whim. The man's thoughts are unfathomable.
The car pulled over outside the TV Station. Nick grabbed his phone and asked someone to send the little ones to the TV Station. He knew that it was the right time.
