In the room, only Mason and Jason were left.
Jason said, “Your mother is very worried about you. What’s going on between you and Veronica?”
“She found out that I was the one who caused the breakup between Daniel and her,” said Mason.
After all, when he mentioned to his father that he hoped to hand over the business to Daniel and his team, his father didn’t ask any questions and simply agreed without hesitation.
But he knew that with his father’s ability, he must have already
As expected, Jason didn’t show any surprise on his face after hearing it. He even seemed to have anticipated that Veronica would find out about it.
“What happened next?” Jason asked.
“I said I could be her boyfriend and treat her a thousand times better than Daniel ever could, but she doesn’t even want to consider it,” Mason said, a hint of pain in his eyes.
Looking at his son’s appearance, Jason was reminded of his own past. “In this world, there are no impenetrable walls. If you do something and want to keep it a secret forever, you must also be prepared to be discovered by the other party.””
Back then, he thought he could keep the truth about Grace’s imprisonment hidden forever, but in the end, Grace found out the truth.
Fortunately, Grace eventually forgave him.
Mason’s body stiffened and he remained silent.
Jason asked, “So, do you have any plans?”
“I don’t know,” said Mason.
Jason looked at his second son. After all, his son is still a teenager, so it’s normal to not handle things well.
“You have two options,” Jason said. “Either make her fall in love with you, or forget about your feelings for her.””
“If she didn’t fall in love with me, but I still couldn’t forget her?”
said Mason.
Jason smiled slightly and said, “In this world, there is always a way to forget about emotions, it just depends on whether you want to or not. Alternatively, if she can’t fall in love with you, you can continue to be her ‘little brother’ and stay by her side, and then watch her date someone else in the future.”
Mason’s thin lips were tightly pursed. It seems that he can no longer play the role of her “little brother”
properly.
But… he also doesn’t want to forget about his feelings for her.
So in the end, his only choice was, “I will make her fall in love with me!”
Jason smiled slightly and said, “No matter what decision you et you As I said before,
“Daddy, thank you,” said Mason.
After finishing his conversation with his son, Jason returned to the master bedroom where Grace was waiting for him. As soon as she saw her husband come in, she anxiously asked,
“What’s the situation with Mason now?”
“Jason said that he had a disagreement with Veronica. Mason confessed his feelings to Veronica, but she only sees him as a younger brother.”
Grace sighed, as expected, things turned out just as she had feared.
These two children grew up together, but their relationship will inevitably be a bit rocky!
“What should we do now?” she asked.
“Jason said, ‘Mason plans to make Veronica fall in love with him.””
“But when it comes to matters of the heart, you can’t force it,” Grace said. “If Veronica really only sees
Mason as a brother, then we should respect her decision.”
Grace treats Veronica like a daughter and doesn’t want her to feel pressured to have feelings for anyone in the Reed family just because of their relationship.
Jason said, “No matter what the outcome may be in the future, I believe that our son will make the best decision he thinks is right. Since he is our son, we should also trust his choice!”
“I hope so,” said Grace. But when it comes to matters of the heart, it takes two to tango. If only one party is willing, it will never work out in the end!
“Okay, don’t worry anymore.” Jason hugged his wife. “Grace, I will take care of this home, and take care of you and our child. So, you don’t need to worry about anything, everything will be okay.”
Grace leaned against Jason’s chest, feeling the warmth emanating from it.
Yes, he has always kept his promise to her and their children, from the past until now, without any change.
“Jason, all I ask is that our family is doing well,” said Grace.
Veronica was surprised that Jasper came to find her.
Outside the Barlow family’s door, Jasper, one of the triplets, stood at the entrance and said to Veronica,
“Veronica, I came here today specifically to see you. Can I come in?”
“Convenient,” Veronica said.
Father, stepmother, and younger brother have all gone out, so
Veronica led Jasper to the living room and poured him a glass of water. She also brought out some snacks to offer him as hospitality.
However, Jasper did not eat or drink anything. He simply said, “Veronica, you don’t need to bring out any food. I came here today just to figure out what happened between you and my friend Mason. If he did something to make you angry, please don’t blame him. Can you forgive him?”
Veronica’s body stiffened slightly, and she hesitated before asking, “Did he… ask you to come?”
Jasper shook his head and said, “You know what kind of person Mason is. How could he possibly ask someone else to be a mediator? I noticed that Mason has been staying at home and not going to school these days. He’s been silent all day long, and when I try to ask him, I can’t seem to get anything out of him. That’s why I came to ask you.”
“We… had some disagreements,” said Veronica.
“What kind of argument is it that you can’t forgive him?” Jasper asked.
Veronica suddenly remembered the scene where Mason had
Her body stiffened
Jasper noticed the situation and didn’t ask further. He simply advised, “Veronica, don’t be angry with
Mason. Sometimes he can be very straightforward and doesn’t know how to beat around the bush.
Maybe he does things or says things based on his own preferences and mood. However, one thing that hasn’t changed is that you are the most important person to him.”
Veronica bit her lip slightly and said, “You are all related to him by blood, so you are also very important to him.”
Jasper said, “Actually, our whole family knows how important you are to my brother Mason. Sometimes I think that even the weight of our entire family in his heart cannot compare to your weight. Sometimes I even envy how good your relationship is with Mason. Even when I want to get close to Mason, I sometimes feel like I can’t.”
It’s like having someone standing right in front of you, talking to you, but it feels like there’s a million miles between you two.
“However, I envy you but I am not jealous of you. When we were young and our whole family was not around Mason, was you, Sister Veronica, who protected him. So I am very grateful to you. No matter what conflicts you and Mason have, you have resolved them little by little, right? Mason is silent all day now, and I can tell that he is actually very uncomfortable!” Jasper said.
“Uncomfortable?” Veronica was taken aback.
“Yeah, we’re triplets, and to put it in a mystical way, we have a connection! I can feel that Mason has been really sad lately,
I swear!” Jasper said, raising three fingers in a gesture of sincerity.
Veronica felt a heavy pressure on her chest, causing a slight discomfort.
At that moment, Veronica’s phone suddenly rang. She picked it up and saw that it was Lionel calling from his number.
She answered the phone and heard Lionel’s slightly drunken voice on the other end, “Hey sis, do you want to come over and hang out with me? I’ve made some new friends and I promise that all your troubles will disappear once you’re here!”
Veronica frowned, “Where exactly are you?”
Lionel gave an address, but Veronica’s frown deepened. It was the name of a famous nightclub in
Emerald City, and Lionel was so young. She couldn’t believe he was hanging out in a place like that.
At this moment, a woman’s coquettish voice came from Lionel’s phone, “Hey, young man, come have a few more drinks. Later, do you want to try our new product here? It’s guaranteed to be great!”
“Sis…I…I want to go and try it out. Come on, hurry up and join me. I’m a good brother, right? I always think of you when I’m lucky…” Lionel finished speaking and didn’t wait for Veronica to say anything else before ending the call.
Veronica stared at her phone, feeling uneasy and unsure about what the “new product” she had just heard about on the phone really was.
However, this kid Lionel, it’s too easy for him to learn bad things!
“Sorry, I need to go out for a bit,” Veronica said to Jasper. “It seems like my younger brother has some trouble, and I need to go check on him.”
“Is something wrong? Do you need my help?” Mason asked.
“No, I’m just going to the nightclub to bring him back,” even though it was afternoon, the nightclub was already open.
“Let me drive you there, my car is downstairs,” Jasper offered.
Veronica thought for a moment and said, “Thank you.”
The two of them drove to the nightclub, while on the other end of the phone, Lionel was sober and not as drunk as he sounded earlier.
As soon as the call ended, Lionel even had a smug smile on his face.
“Mr. Barlow, is your sister really coming?” a young man next to him asked, clearly trying to please
Lionel.
“Of course, I deliberately let my sister hear those sounds on the phone. She must be worried. When she comes, we just need to pretend to kidnap her and then have Mason come to rescue her. By then, my sister and Mason will definitely make up,” Lionel said proudly.
He had thought about this plan for several nights.
A fake kidnapping, let Mason be the hero to save the beauty.
As long as they make up, even if they find out the kidnapping was fake, it doesn’t matter.
At this moment, Lionel, who was feeling proud, didn’t notice the other young gangsters in the box exchanging glances and plotting against him.
Veronica and Jasper arrived at the entrance of the nightclub. Veronica hurriedly walked towards the inside, and Jasper followed her into the nightclub.,
When the two of them entered Lionel’s private room, they found that Lionel was the only one there.
Veronica asked in a curious tone, “Why are you the only one here?”
