“Of course, of course, I definitely won’t say it!” Lionel quickly smiled and replied.
He wants to curry favor with the money tree in his own family. Although he is still young, he knows very well that he needs to please Mason if he wants to have a good life in the future.
And now those older people who are mixed up in society and bow down to him outside, isn’t it all because of Mason’s connections that they can easily get a large amount of pocket money from his mother?
So, of course, he is going to work hard to make sure Mason stays with the Barlow family!
Since Mason only cares about Veronica, all we need to do is to reconcile her with Mason.
And his advice to Mason was clearly successful. So, if he continues to offer advice to Mason on his sister’s affairs,
Mason will value him more.
Will he be better off then than he is now?
Thinking about this, Lionel felt quite proud.
When Mason returned to the living room, Veronica asked,
“What did the kid say to you just now?”
“I didn’t say anything,” said Mason calmly.
“If he asks you for any favors, don’t agree easily,” she said, afraid that her younger brother might come up with various excuses to ask for money or help.
She doesn’t want her younger brother to end up like their father and stepmother, who only use Mason and eventually become parasites of the Reed family.
“Mmm, I know what to do,” said Mason.
For him, this was indeed Lionel’s suggestion that brought him and her back together, so even if he had to give Lionel some benefits, he didn’t mind.
These are also some words from Lionel that gave him a sudden feeling of clarity and relief.
Actually, sometimes achieving a certain goal doesn’t necessarily require a tough approach. Veronica actually responds better to a more gentle approach.
If he lowers his attitude, she will be more likely to accept.
Since she always refers to him as her “little brother”, he will comply with her wishes and be a good little brother.
As for her desire for “respect,” he can give it to her. Even if she truly likes Daniel, he will find a way to make her stop liking him.
The only one she could like is him.
“Veronica, can we stop giving each other the silent treatment from now on?” Mason said softly, with a slight hint of pity in his voice, his eyebrows and eyes drooping.
Veronica felt a sudden pang of sympathy for Mason, and said, “Okay, let’s stop giving each other the silent treatment from now on.”
Head Mason did not snatch the her drink.
However, being watched by him so quietly made her feel event more uneasy and nervous for some reason.
“Why… are you staring at me while I drink?” she asked with a pout.
“He just felt that when Veronica was drinking her milk tea, it seemed like she was enjoying something very delicious,” he said.
“Actually… it’s not too bad,” she said awkwardly. After all, the milk tea that Daniel had bought for her was from the school’s convenience store, and the taste was actually quite familiar.
“What kind of feelings does Veronica have towards Mr. Cross?” Mason asked.
Veronica’s face suddenly showed a hint of shyness, “It’s just the feeling of a senior.”
“Oh really? I thought Veronica liked him,” said Mason. As he spoke, his face remained expressionless, as if he was just casually making a comment.
Veronica’s heart lifted up suddenly, but when she saw Mason’s seemingly indifferent expression, she breathed a sigh of relief and simply said, “No, you’re overthinking it.”
”
Uby the blush on her face.
Mason’s eyes caught a glimpse of the blush on her face, and his gaze gradually darkened. So,
Veronica really has fallen for Daniel, hasn’t she? And for her, he’s just a younger brother.
Even if she also likes him, this kind of liking is completely different from her liking for Daniel.
However… he won’t let anyone have Veronica, even if that person is the one she likes in her heart!
If she really falls for Daniel, then… he will destroy that feeling!
Daniel’s visits to Veronica’s classroom became more and more frequent, and people from both classes began to speculate about their relationship.
The rumors about Veronica and Mason, which were once rampant, were now quelled because of this phenomenon.
Some even said, “Veronica and Mason have a sibling relationship. If there really is anything going on,
Mason would have beaten up Daniel for constantly going to Veronica’s side.”
“Exactly!” someone chimed in, “Besides, Veronica isn’t even that pretty. Mason is the second son of the
Reed family! How could he really be interested in Veronica? They just grew up together and see each other as siblings.”
So, the girls at school also started to pursue Mason one after another.
Every day, there are girls who give love letters or gifts to Mason, but he always throws them away.
However, those girls are not discouraged. After all, he is the second son of the Reed family. If they can really catch him, their destiny could be changed forever!
Look, isn’t Veronica the perfect example?
If Mason only treats Veronica as a sister, Veronica can live such a good life. If there is a chance to become Mason’s girlfriend, wouldn’t it be better than Veronica’s current situation?
After school, Veronica watched as Mason packed his backpack. Another love letter fell out of his drawer, along with a beautifully wrapped gift box. It must have been a carefully chosen gift from some girl.
Mason simply picked up the love letter and gift, and threw them directly into the trash can at the back of the classroom.
Veronica looked and couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you this girl could be someone
“You haven’t even seen the love letter the other person wrote, let alone met them. How do you know you won’t fall for them?”
She asked.
But he looked at her with unwavering eyes and said, “I am certain that I won’t fall for this person.”
Because for him, there was already someone he liked, and this person was the most important person in his life, someone he would never give up to anyone else!
Even if he had to resort to any means, he would get this person!
Under his gaze, her heart suddenly fluttered, and she quickly avoided his eyes and said, “Okay, let’s go.”
Mason didn’t say anything and just picked up their backpacks and headed towards the school gate.
But when they reached the bottom of the teaching building, they ran into Daniel.
Daniel looked at the two of them, seeming hesitant.
“What’s wrong, Mr. Cross?” Veronica asked.
Daniel felt a bit embarrassed and said, “Actually, I just wanted to ask if you’re free this weekend to come watch me play basketball. Our school team has a game against No. 3 Middle
Veronica remembered that she had promised Daniel that she would go watch him play a game, but for this weekend… She looked a bit embarrassed and glanced at Mason standing next to her. After a moment, she said to Daniel, “I had originally planned to go to the bookstore with Mason this weekend.”
“I see.” Daniel’s expression seemed a bit disappointed, but then he said, “If you don’t mind, how about coming to watch me play basketball? After the game, I can accompany you to the bookstore to buy books. The game won’t take too long.”
Although Daniel had conflicts with Mason in the past, he naturally hoped to have a better relationship with him because Mason is Veronica’s “brother”.
“Hmm?” Veronica furrowed her brow upon hearing Daniel’s suggestion.
After all, she knew that Mason didn’t like Daniel. He had even destroyed the ointment that Daniel had given her twice before. They had even had a cold war for several days because of Daniel’s relationship. So it was clear that Mason would never agree.
Veronica was thinking of refusing, but Mason beat her to it and said, “Okay, then I’ll come watch the game with Veronica.”
Veronica stared at Mason in shock, her eyes filled with surprise.
Mason… wants to go watch Daniel play ball?!
“Okay, that’s settled then,” Daniel smiled and said goodbye to the two before running off.
Veronica looked at Mason and asked, “Were you serious earlier? Are you really going to watch the game?”
“That’s not what you said, Veronica. Do you mind if I spend more time with other people? Now, I’m going to watch a game. Is that okay with you, Veronica?” said Mason.
This… is hope, but why does she have a strange feeling about it? Veronica said hesitantly, “But don’t you dislike Daniel?”
“But he is Veronica’s friend, and since he is your friend too, I will get along with him well. This is what you want, right?” He respected her wishes, as this was what she wanted.
In front of her, he would play the role of a good younger
Krother things can never be the same as before.
He is just her younger brother, after all. It’s just her self-deception.
And he won’t easily argue with her anymore. He will show her in his own way that he is the most indispensable person in her world!
“Veronica, whatever your hopes are, I will do them for you because you are my Veronica, the most important person to me.”
He spoke to her in this way.
And in that moment, her heartbeat suddenly became unusually intense!
On the weekend, Veronica and Mason went to watch Daniel’s game together.
The game was held at the opposing school’s gym, and because they didn’t want the Reed family’s car to attract attention, Veronica chose to take the subway.
Mason didn’t object to this.
As the two walked into the subway station and Veronica was but ask Mason again, “Are
“Of course I am. I came here with you, Veronica. Is that not enough?” he replied.
