Chapter 128

Veronique stood up from her chair, and shock flashed across her eyes.

Looking at Justin nervously, she asked in a quavering voice, “H-How do you know him? Why do you want to talk to him?”

At the same time, she was bewildered by Justin's request.

What a minute. Is it strange that I know Kai? Why can't I look for him?

“I heard Kai was in charge of Simon and Zayron's paternity test. Hence, I wish to have a video call with him to ask a few questions about the report. Is there a problem?”

Veronique took a few deep breaths to suppress her worry and uneasiness. Moments later, she pretended to be calm and said, “Nope. There's no problem at all. I'm just a little surprised that you know my nephew.”

With that, she sat down again.

Not in the mood to be bothered by her strange reaction, Justin asked, “Well, can I have a video call with him?”

“No,” Veronique quickly declined his request.

Justin narrowed his eyes and frowned. “Why?”

“He's overly aloof and doesn't like seeing strangers. It's why my sister let him stay at my place. Since I live alone, the environment can help comfort him. I'm sorry that I can't help you.”

Meanwhile, Justin frowned deeper as he listened to her. After falling silent for a moment, he suggested, “Okay, we don't need to talk via video call. Please let me talk to him via phone call. I have to talk to him over an urgent matter.”

Nevertheless, Veronique still shook her head in response. Although her face turned paler, she bit her lip and refused to give in. “I'm so sorry, but I don't want any outsider to talk to him. Mr. Xuereb, please look for another way and stop intruding into Kai's life.”

With a serious look, Justin said, “You can't do this. The more aloof a kid is, the more you should encourage him to adapt to the environment. He can only come out of his own world when he feels the lively and bustling real world. You'll destroy him instead by locking him in the house.”

However, as Veronique's mind had gone blank, she didn't listen to his advice.

The next moment, she stood up, grabbed her handbag, and said, “Oh, I just remembered that I have to attend to some urgent matters and have to get going. Please excuse me.”

Before Justin could react, she ran toward the entrance and out of the premises as if she were escaping.

In confusion, Justin glanced at the empty seat in front of him for a while and turned his gaze to the half-closed door.

Can someone explain to me what had just happened?
