“Well, there’s a guy named Daniel in their school who is one grade higher than them,” said Jason.
“That Mason…” Grace’s face was full of worry. Although she knew that their relationship couldn’t be forced, he was still her own son. Besides, she also knew that Mason’s feelings for Veronica had already surpassed the usual sibling relationship.
If this really blows up, who knows what kind of consequences it will cause!
“Mason is actually more mature than I imagined. He should be able to handle this matter well,” said
Jason.
“Deal with it? How does he plan to deal with it?” Grace asked, sounding puzzled.
“Nature has slowly cooled it down, don’t worry, he shouldn’t use any drastic measures,” said Jason.
Mason now seems to have learned patience and restraint.
Grace breathed a small sigh of relief upon hearing this, “Actually, it would be good if Mason could slowly accept that Veronica has feelings for someone else. After all, human emotions are unpredictable. When people are together for a long time, they may only have a sense of familial love and not be able to develop romantic love no matter what.”
Jason smiled lightly, knowing that his wife might have misunderstood something.
“Yeah, he’ll gradually accept it, but accepting doesn’t mean. agreeing. If he wants to get what he wants, then he should fight for it in his own way,” said Jason.
Grace furrowed her brows slightly and asked, “What do you mean by that?”
He needs to figure out how to get along with Veronica,” Jason said. “Do you think someone who is as important to Mason as his own life would just give up like that?”
Grace realized, “But when it comes to matters of the heart, you simply can’t force it.”
“It’s not something that can be forced. Besides, they’re still young and going through a period of emotional instability. Who knows what the future holds?” Jason paused for a moment before continuing, “Perhaps Mason will eventually get what he wants? Or maybe, after experiencing setbacks, he will change his mind?”
Grace hesitated for a moment and said, “Jason, I think it’s best to let things take their natural course.
I’m worried that Mason’s emotions will be hurt, but Veronica is also someone I’ve watched grow up. If she really likes that boy named Daniel, I don’t want the Reed family to interfere and ruin this relationship.”
After all, if the Reed family were to use their power to interfere and put pressure on the Cross family, it’s highly likely that the young couple would break up in no time.
“Okay,” Jason readily agreed. “I won’t use the Reed family’s power to interfere with Veronica and Daniel’s relationship. However, I am also Mason’s father, so it shouldn’t be a problem for us to have a heart-to-heart talk.”
not a problem. If Mason is willing to open up to you, I would only be happy!”
Over the next few days, Mason continued to attend his classes as usual, but he stayed with the Reed family instead of returning to the Barlow family’s home.
On the Barlow family’s side, they are naturally very worried about this unusual situation. The Barlow family members are constantly asking Veronica, “Veronica, why did Mason suddenly move in with the Reed family? Is he not going to come back to the Barlow family anymore?”
“I hope you didn’t do anything to upset him again!”
“I’m warning you, you need to understand who Mason is! If you make him unhappy, the Barlow family will be in trouble!”
Veronica didn’t bother to pay attention to these scoldings.
Every time there was any movement on Mason’s side, her family would react like this!
However, Mason hasn’t been staying at home these days, which makes Veronica feel uneasy. They used to go to school and come home together.
But these days, she’s been alone, and it’s making her uncomfortable.
Although at school, Mason seems to be the same as usual, sitting quietly in his seat, and going to the school cafeteria with her for lunch.
The only difference is that these days, there’s another person eating with them, Daniel.
Veronica remembers the first day when Daniel smiled and said to Mason, “Mason, I’m dating Veronica now, so I’m your sister’s boyfriend!”
When Daniel said this, Veronica felt stiff all over, afraid that
Mason would be upset, especially since she hadn’t even told him yet!
Previously, Mason was quite opposed to her liking Daniel. She had intended to tell him at an appropriate time, but unfortunately he went to live with the Reed family.
The result is that she still hasn’t spoken up now.
disgusted way. He simply said, “Oh, I see. So Mr. Cross is Veronica’s boyfriend now, huh?”
Mason… doesn’t reject Daniel anymore?
Veronica secretly looked at Mason, but couldn’t tell anything from his expressionless face.
After lunch ended, Veronica and Mason returned to the classroom. She couldn’t help but ask, “Mason, are you willing to accept Daniel?”
Mason raised his beautiful eyes and asked, “Why should I accept Mr. Cross?”
“But just now you…”
“He is Veronica’s boyfriend, and although I don’t like him, it doesn’t mean I have to oppose him,” said
Mason. “Since he is the person Veronica likes, I will try to get along with him.”
Upon hearing this, Veronica finally breathed a sigh of relief and a smile of relief appeared on her face.
“That’s great!
Mason, thank you!”
Her smile suddenly became unbearable to him.
He used to love seeing her smile, but now it’s because of someone else.
“Veronica, if one day I stand against Daniel, who would you
Veronica froze, the question was like asking who to save first if two important people fell into the water at the same time.
It’s not appropriate to help either of them.
“That day will never come!” Veronica thought for a moment and replied.
“But what if it does?” he insisted.
“If it really does, then I will try to resolve the conflict between you and not let that happen,” Veronica said. “I believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
Mason suddenly smiled and said, “Yes, I also believe that where there’s a will, there’s a way!”
He believed that one day she would realize that the person she should be with in this life is not Daniel, but him!
“By the way, Mason, when are you coming back to live here?” Veronica asked again.
Mason said, “I want to stay with the Reed family for a few more days.”
“Is that so?” Veronica murmured.
“Isn’t it what Veronica would most like to see? My family and I strengthening our relationship a bit more?” he said.
She felt a sudden suffocation. Yes, wasn’t she hoping that he could spend more time with his family?
But now that it had actually happened, she felt a sense of disappointment.
What’s wrong with her?!
Veronica forcefully shook her head and forced a smile, “Well, you can spend more time with your family, that’s a good thing!”
She should be happy and offer her blessings, that’s the right thing to do!
In the following days, Mason did not return to the Barlow family, but instead stayed with the Reed family. Every time after school, Veronica watched as Mason parted ways with her and got into another car, which brought back a feeling of loneliness once again.
Daniel, on the other hand, knowing that Veronica was going home alone, took the initiative to say to her, “I’ll walk you home from now on.”
“Are you giving me a ride?” Veronica asked in surprise.
“Right, I’m your boyfriend now, aren’t I? Taking you home, no big deal,” he said.
“But my dad and them don’t know yet!” said Veronica. After all, she hasn’t told her family about her relationship with Daniel yet!
“Then I’ll just drop you off near your home before leaving,”
said Daniel.
After all, they are still students, and most people wouldn’t tell their parents about dating at this stage.
Mick walked in by pushing the door.
Mick asked, “I noticed you’ve been staying at home every day recently. Are you not planning to go back to the Barlow family?”
“I don’t plan to for now,” Mason said.
“Did you have a fight with Veronica?” Mick asked, showing concern for his younger brother’s relationship despite not being a gossip person.
“No,” Mason replied.
“If you didn’t fight, then why do you keep going home all the time?” Mick asked, puzzled.
“If I keep living with the Barlow family, then I can only be her little brother in her eyes,” Mason explained. He was too familiar with her, and she had a deep-rooted impression of him as a little brother that she saw almost all the time.
Mick remained silent for a moment before asking, “You don’t want to just be her little brother?”
“No, I don’t,” Mason said, looking straight at Mick. “Bro, have you ever wanted someone so much that you just want that person to be with you all the time, never wanting to be apart, and that person is irreplaceable?”
Mick was shocked by Mason’s words. Although he vaguely understood how important Veronica was to his younger brother, hearing it from Mason’s mouth was a different feeling altogether.
“No,” Mick replied. For him, family was the most important thing, and he didn’t have anyone else he wanted that badly.
The longer Mason stayed with the Reed family, the more tense the atmosphere became with the Barlow family. Archer and Rosalind were always wearing a frown, and Lionel was constantly advising his sister, “Sis, if you have a fight with
Mason, just give in to him. As long as you give in, he won’t stay away from home, will he?”
“Here is not his home, his true home is with the Reed family,”
said Veronica.
Lionel said unhappily, “Sis, why do you keep saying that the
Reed family is his home? What are you really thinking? Do you not want Mason to come back?”
Veronica pursed her lips and didn’t respond to her brother’s words.
