A Sweet Night The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently

At noon, Veronica was ready to have lunch, but at that moment, someone called her.

She glanced at the number on her phone. It was an unfamiliar number.

"Hello, who is this?"

Then a somewhat gloomy male voice sounded, "Veronica..."

Veronica frowned. "Who is this?"

"Veronica, have you forgotten me? I'm Marley Casey."

Veronica's expression changed right away.

Marley's name was all too familiar to her. Actually, it was a nightmare.

That was because Marley was basically a terrifying lunatic, who Veronica didn't want to get any close to whatsoever.

Two years ago, Marley, the son of Veronica's foster father's business partner, pursued Veronica like crazy. But Veronica rejected him. Much to Veronica's surprise, Marley wasn't resigned to it. Instead, he tried to kidnap her one day when she was off school.

Fortunately, Veronica managed to escape.

Veronica wanted to call the police, but she found out that Marley's family had left Peace City suddenly. Therefore, Veronica forgot about what happened and thought that Marley would never show up again. But greatly to her surprise, Marley called, and he called her like this.

"You... Why do you have my number?" Veronica asked in anger.

Since Marley called her after he left, Veronica changed her phone number. Actually, she had changed several numbers over the past two years in case Marley could reach out to her. Unexpectedly, she still failed to get rid of Marley.

"Veronica, good for you. It took me a lot of effort to finally get your number."

Veronica frowned. "Why did you call me?"

Marley snorted and asked, "Where are you living now?"

Veronica frowned. "I don't think it has anything to do with you, right?"

"It has everything to do with me! I finally got back from abroad, but it turns out that you're gone. I went to your previous place, only to find that the villa had been foreclosed on by the court," Marley answered. Veronica was startled, her pupils widening.

"What... What did you say? You are back? Aren't you supposed to be abroad now? Why did you come back suddenly?"

"Veronica, you know why I am back. I mean, all these years when I was abroad, the person I missed the most was you. And I've been wanting to find you all the time. Now that I am back, the first thing I did was find you. Actually, I have already decided to stay here in Peace City for good. That way, I will be able to be with you. What do you think?" Marley smiled.

His words wrenched Veronica's heart, and her grip on the phone was tightened.

Veronica thought, 'Marley is back! He is back here now. And worse still, he said that he would not leave.

How I wish he could just vanish!'

"Marley, I told you long ago. We're not meant to be together. I will not be your girlfriend. Just give up."

"Veronica, I know that you only said that because you were concerned that a long-distance relationship wouldn't work. But now it's different. Since I'm back, we can be together forever. What do you think?"

"I mean what I just said. And..." Veronica gritted her teeth and said, "I already have a boyfriend. I can't be with you."Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Marley's voice darkened. "What did you say? You have a boyfriend? Impossible! I've already asked around. They said that you don't have a boyfriend. Veronica, why did you lie?"

"I'm not lying."

Marley became a bit impatient. "Alright, Veronica. Let's not talk about this now. Tell me where you live now? I will find you tonight, and we can talk face-to-face then."

Veronica took a deep breath.

"Marley, like I said before, I already have a boyfriend. And I am... living with him now. Marley, please don't call me or find me again."

"I don't believe you have a boyfriend. No, I won't buy it. Veronica, I have done so much for you! How can you be in a relationship with someone else? All right! Since you refuse to tell me where you live, tonight after school, I will wait for you at the entrance of your school. See you around then."

With that, Marley hung up the phone.

Veronica was speechless.

And there was a pale complexion on her face as well.

Veronica didn't expect that her nightmare was back!

Stella, who was sitting beside Veronica, noticed that something was off with Veronica. She then looked at Veronica worriedly and asked.

"Veronica, what's the matter? Who was it?"

Veronica felt tense while grabbing Stella's wrist. "Stella, what should I do? It's Marley... Marley is back."

Stella's eyes widened all at once. "Who... Who is it that you just mentioned? Marley? It can't be .... that Marley who I know, right?"

Veronica nodded. "It's him. And it's his voice. I can recognize it."

Stella had witnessed how Marley latched on to Veronica and knew how difficult and dangerous Marley was.

"But, didn't he go abroad?"

"He told me that he is back. Moreover, he has been to my previous place and thus knows that I have moved away. That's why he was calling, wanting to know where I live."

Stella then said, "Fortunately, you have moved to Mr. Cordova's place. Otherwise, Marley might do something very crazy to you."

"But..." Veronica clenched her fists. "He just said on the phone that he would wait for me at the school gate after school today."

Stella exclaimed, "What? That's insane! Do not meet him no matter what. He is capable of doing anything. What if he made you suffer as he did two years ago..."

"Of course, I know."

Stella thought for a while and said, "In that case, don't leave school tonight. I won't go back to my place as well. Instead, I will stay in my dormitory tonight. Stay there with me. As long as you don't go out, he won't be able to meet you, and everything will be all right."

Veronica nodded. "That is the only way now."

Raymond had told Veronica before that he had a meeting tonight. Therefore, Raymond wouldn't be able to pick her up. Thus, staying at the campus was the safest thing she could do.
