Chapter 810 A Frightening Call
"I don't know. I was caught off guard by my feelings. Maybe it was because I was always with him and those times made me fell in love with him. Or maybe because he was the father of my children. I only hope for Peter to have a complete family."
Toby Cage almost roared and his voice trembled violently as he said, "Nick Cage won't give you a complete home at all! You can like anyone, but you can't like him! You know that!"
Veronica's eyes trembled. It seemed as if everyone around her was telling her not to have wishful thinking. It was unbelievable for her to talk about having feelings for Nick. Even if she just wanted to let Toby give up, listening to his pained voice made her heart tighten.
"I know. That was why I said it was just my hope. Do you want me to be with you while you know that I love him in my heart? Toby, you know me very well. I wouldn't do that."
Toby's hands that held her face trembled with restraint as he said, "I don't believe you like him, no way!"
But Veronica pushed him away and said "Toby, we're over it! Just forget about me!" Then Veronica stood to get the phone. She continued to say, "I'll call Suzanne Roland and ask her to pick you up."
But Toby sat decadently on the foam board and protested, "I have nothing to do with her! Don't call her. I don't need her."
Veronica looked back at him and saw that he looked even paler than before.
Although she couldn't bear it, she knew that he couldn't stay there with her.
So, Veronica pretended to lose her cool and got angry as she said, "It bothers me whenever you are here! Nick won't let you go, and he won't let me go! Toby, don't you understand that?"
Toby chuckled and laughed at himself. He felt embarrassed and his self-esteem crumbled.
Veronica's eyes warmed up when she said, "What on earth do you want me to do, Toby? I could not have kids for you. Even if I decide to be with you, I will live with guilt all my life. We would both be in pain. Is that what you want? If that is so, then I can go with you now!"
Toby did not speak. His whole being seemed to be bathed in the darkness and felt as if he could no longer extricate himself.
Suddenly, the mobile phone in Veronica's hand rang and it made her come back to her senses. When she saw who was calling her, she froze right there. It was Nick.
Meanwhile, at that point, Nick was in the office of KING Group. He had a mobile phone in one hand and had a suit coat in the other.
It took a few more ringing before his call went through. So, in a low voice, he asked, "Busy?"
"No. I'm not busy."
"I'll pick you up. Do you have anything you want to eat?"
Veronica coldly replied to him, "Do you think I'm a child? I'm not at the TV station. I'm here at the apartment."
She knew she couldn't lie to him even if she wanted to. Just by looking at the security guard at the door of her neighborhood, she could tell that Nick was already spying on her. She just didn't know when it started.
And she also thought of the driver.
Such a lie could be easily exposed. Even Veronica herself wouldn't dare tell a lie to Nick. Suddenly, Nick interrupted her thoughts when he said, "I'll pick you up at the apartment."
Veronica told him, "I'm not going to Winter Villa."
"I'll be there in fifteen minutes." And with that, he abruptly ended the call.
"Hello? Nick!" Veronica looked frantically at the screen of her phone as the call was ended. She was dumbfounded for a moment. Then she turned to Toby and told him, "It's too late to call and wait for Suzanne Roland to come here. I'll just assist you down and walk you to the car."
Nick would be arriving in 15 minutes. That meant that the speed of his car would be very fast.
"No," Toby refused as he stood with his hand over his stomach.
Veronica quickly reached out to help him. Then she said, "Toby, I'm begging you. Go back to the hospital to recover and don't come here again! Aren't you afraid of what Nick could do to you?"
And at that moment, Toby was absolutely not.
