Mason’s face fell as he listened to Veronica’s words. He had always thought that his love for her was true, but now he realized that he had been selfish and possessive.
Veronica wiped away her tears and continued, “I need someone who loves me for who I am, not someone who wants to control me. I hope you can understand that.”
Mason nodded silently, feeling regretful for his actions. He knew that he had a lot to learn about love and relationships.
Veronica gave him a sad smile and said, “I hope we can still be friends, but I need some space right now.”
Mason nodded again, knowing that he had to respect Veronica’s wishes. He watched as she walked away, feeling a mix of sadness and relief. He knew that he had lost her as a girlfriend, but he hoped that he could still be a part of her life in some way.
His face turned paler and his body trembled, looking a bit unsteady. There was an obvious panic on her pretty face.
“Veronica, please don’t say things in anger.” He walked up to her and raised his hand to wipe away her tears. “I…”
But as soon as his hand touched her cheek, she swatted it away. “Don’t touch me!”
His hand froze in mid-air, and she stared at him with teary eyes, saying each word carefully, “Mason, I can never have those kinds of feelings for you, let alone fall in love with you. You can’t manipulate my emotions like this!”
After saving this, she turned and ran away, and he tried to grab her hand but missed.
It was as if it was a sign that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t hold onto her!
At that moment, Daniel suddenly laughed, “Mason, it seems that fate is like this. Even if you scheme,
Veronica will never like you, never! What’s the point of making me break up with her? In the end, you’re still empty-handed?!”
But Mason seemed to not have heard him, staring blankly at his empty hand, his face full of despair!
Daniel eventually transferred schools, and there was no longer any trace of him in the school. The discussions about
Daniel and Veronica’s breakup in both classes also became less and less.
Veronica and Mason are still in the same class and sit together, but Veronica no longer talks to Mason.
Even when her classmates asked her about Mason, she would deliberately avoid the topic.
“Veronica, did you have an argument with Mason?” asked a classmate who usually gets along well with her.
Argument? Veronica was momentarily dazed. Rather than calling it an argument, it was more accurate to say that she understood more clearly than ever before that Mason was indeed the Reed family’s Mr. Mason!
All along, she thought of him as her “little brother” who needed her care. She believed that although he was cold and indifferent to people, he was more pure inside than anyone else, without being tainted by the filth of the world.
Sometimes she even worries that he is too pure and might be deceived by others in the future. She’s afraid that he’s too naive!
In fact, someone who thinks like this is truly too naive!
“There was no argument,” she replied to her classmate, but didn’t say anything else to the others.
After finishing her club activities as usual, Veronica walked out of the school gate at the end of the day. However, she noticed that the Reed family’s car was still parked at the entrance and had not driven away.
Mason was standing at the school gate, his beautiful dark eyes fixed on her.
At that moment, Veronica’s footsteps paused as if she had seen something from many years ago. Back then, before he started school, she would see him waiting for her at the school gate every day after she finished classes. He was just a small figure crouching there, eagerly waiting for her.
Even if it’s windy and rainy, even if he’s covered in bruises, he will still come to wait for her.
Veronica’s nose suddenly felt a bit sour.
The closer they were, the more they relied on each other, the more naive and ridiculous she seemed, and the more intense her pain became.
Veronica avoided starting a conversation and didn’t look at Mason. Instead, she lifted her feet and tried to walk past him and move forward.
said, “Veronica, please don’t ignore me, okay?”
Veronica said, “I want to go home, please move aside first.”
And whenever he does this, she always forgets everything that was bothering her.
But this time – “If you really treated me as Veronica, you wouldn’t treat me like this! Mason, you’ve made me truly understand what the Reed family is, and who the second son of the Reed family is!
There will always be a difference between us!”
“What’s the difference?” he asked. “I know you’re angry, angry that I caused you and Daniel to break up, but that was Daniel’s own choice. He chose money over his feelings for you.”
Veronica gave a bitter smile. “You don’t understand what I’m really angry about!”
As she spoke, she tried to pull her dress away from his fingers.
“Then tell me, what are you really angry about?” he asked, stubbornly refusing to let go.
“It’s you.” she alared at him
At this point, more and more students were coming out onto the campus, and everyone’s attention was drawn to them as they struggled.
Veronica knew that if she didn’t make things clear with Mason today, he would probably stand with her at the school gate all day, as he never cared about other people’s opinions.
“Let’s find somewhere else to talk, not stand at the school gate,” she said.
“Okay,” he obediently agreed.
He directly took her hand and led her into the car.,
The car shields us from the outside gaze.
Mason asked, “Where does Veronica want to meet me?”
“Find a quiet place where no one will disturb us,” she said.
“Okay,” he replied, then instructed the driver to drive to a restaurant. They arrived at the entrance and he led her to a private room.
The soundproofing of the private room is excellent. Inside the room, you won’t hear any noise from outside.
“Is this place okay? Veronica has been here before and really liked the desserts. Today, she can eat more,” he said and proceeded to order some dishes from the waiter standing nearby.
Veronica realized that all the dishes he ordered were her favorites!
He always knows her preferences, what colors she likes, what dishes she loves to eat, and what habitual movements she has.
He knows everything about her too well!
But how could he not know that by manipulating her feelings like this, she would become so disgusted with him?!
After the waiter left the private room, Veronica said, “Mason,
I didn’t come here with you today to eat. You asked me to clarify why I’m angry, so here it is: I don’t like my emotions. being treated as a bargaining chip! Even if
Daniel was in it for the money, he could easily give up our relationship, but I should be the one to decide whether or not to end it, not have it end like this!”
He looked at her with a puzzled expression, “But isn’t the result the same in the end?”
“Yes, the result is the same, but at least it won’t make me feel like a puppet that can be manipulated!”
she said.
“You’re not, and I’ve never treated you like a puppet,” he said.
“But what you’re doing now is treating me like a puppet, Mason. Do you know that? In my eyes, you seem like a completely different person, someone I don’t even recognize!” She murmured.
“So, are you going to continue like this and stop talking to me?” he asked, staring at her fixedly.
“I don’t know,” she started, avoiding eye contact with him. “Every time I see you, it reminds me of this thing. I don’t even
“What do I need to do for you to talk to me again?” he asked. “Do I need to apologize? Just tell me what to do and I’ll do it. But please, don’t ignore me, don’t stop talking to me…”
Her silence and avoidance were unbearable for him.
“If you never feel like you’ve done anything wrong, then you don’t need to admit to any mistakes,”
Veronica said. “As for anything else you need to do… no matter what it is, it’s going to be hard for us to go back to the way things were before.”
Return to the time when we were so close and trusted each other completely.
and
“Is it because I ruined the relationship between you Daniel?” He raised his hand and held onto her chin, forcing her gaze to meet his. “Then why did Veronica choose Daniel as her boyfriend? If Veronica wants a boyfriend, I can be one too, can’t I?”
“Let go of me!” She wanted to pull his hand away from her chin, but she couldn’t budge it no matter how hard she tried. “What are you talking about? You’re my little brother!”
“I’m not lying!” Mason said, his face getting closer to the person in front of him. “Veronica, let me be your boyfriend. I promise I won’t betray your feelings like Daniel did. I’ll treat you a thousand times, ten thousand times better than he did. I’ll do everything he can do, and even more, and better!”
When Veronica heard this, she found it ridiculous. “Do you think that being in a relationship is something that can be done with anyone? Do you think that feelings are something that can be controlled and you can just like whoever you want? Mason, saying something like this only proves that you don’t understand emotions at all!”
But Mason replied, “How do you know that you can’t fall for me? Haven’t you always said that you like me the most? If that’s the case, why can’t we date?”
“That’s a different feeling!” Veronica retorted.
It can be the same, Veronica, just like you said. We have grown up and things are different now. Since you were able to treat me like a brother despite having no blood relation, why can’t you treat me as a boyfriend now? I will love you more than anyone else in this world.
He looked at her with a strong desire in his eyes, as if he would be willing to give up everything if she agreed.
Veronica felt a sudden tightness in her chest, as if something was blocking her airway, making it difficult for her to breathe.
This is someone she once thought was closest to her, but now, why is this feeling of unfamiliarity so strong?
“In the future, please don’t say things like this again!” she said.
“I won’t love you, to me, you’re just…”
Before she could finish her sentence, his lips fell heavily on hers, kissing her deeply.
Suddenly, her whole body stiffened and her eyes widened in disbelief. It wasn’t until she felt the pressure on her lips increase that she realized what was happening.
She instinctively wanted to push her away, but then his hand directly grabbed her wrist and his arm wrapped around her
Kiss, becoming deeper.
Veronica can only passively endure, at this moment, all her struggles seem so useless, in the face of his absolute power, she cannot move even a bit.
I’m not sure how long it lasted, but eventually the kiss came to an end. Mason rested his head against
Veronica’s forehead, breathing heavily as he spoke softly, “Veronica, I understand emotions. I know that you are the person I love the most. So, do you love me too? Let’s date, I can be your boyfriend and make you the happiest girlfriend.”
