A Sweet Night: The CEO Loves His Wife Ardently novel Chapter 740

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."
