“Campus festival?” Veronica was puzzled.
“Your school should have one too,” Jasper said.
Veronica shook her head. “My school had one a few years ago, but they haven’t held it in recent years.”
“Then you should come to Stanford University and check it out. Mason can be your guide!” Jasper said with a sly smile, clearly up to something.
“No need. Mason probably doesn’t like such lively occasions,” Veronica said quickly. She knew that
Mason preferred quiet places.
“It’s not that I don’t like it. I can be your guide for the campus festival,” Mason said.
Veronica looked confused, while Jasper happily exclaimed,
“Great! Sister Veronica, remember to come and join us at the Stanford University festival!”
“Okay,” Veronica replied.
The Stanford University festival… Thinking back, she and Mason had welcomed many festivals together. At that time, she loved strolling around the festival and introducing everything to him non-
stop.
And he, like a loyal little tail, always followed behind her.
But at some point, everything changed.
Now… it’s like repairing those lost pieces bit by bit.
When the two girls finished their afternoon tea, they went to the restroom together, while the two boys sat at the table, staring at each other.
“Are you serious?” William suddenly asked.
“What makes you think I’m not serious?” Mason retorted.
“I’m just worried about Jasper. She’s your sister, but she also has a good relationship with Veronica,”
William said, implying that he was afraid Mason might change his mind later and hurt Jasper’s feelings.
Mason remained silent and only spoke after a moment, “I am serious, but I can’t guarantee what the final outcome will be.”
William raised his eyebrows and asked, “Even if you were hypnotized, do you still want to pursue that person?”
But this time, Mason didn’t answer.
At the end of the date, Mason escorted Veronica back to her residence.
“Actually, it’s okay if you don’t come to the Stanford University festival. You don’t have to force yourself to agree. I’ll just find an excuse and tell Jasper that I have something else to do,” Veronica said.
“I didn’t force myself,” Mason replied. “Or is it that you don’t want to go to the Stanford University festival with me?”
“No, I… really want to,” Veronica said, her face blushing slightly again.
After seeing Veronica back to her residence, Mason returned to the Reed family.
However, when he pushed open the door to his room, he saw Jasper sitting inside, obviously waiting for him to come back.
“What’s up?” Mason asked.
“Mason, are you and Sister Veronica… dating?” Jasper asked.
Mason replied calmly, “We’re not dating, we’re just trying it out.”
“Trying it out?” Jasper was surprised.
“Yes, trying it out. After all, I hypnotized her, and now I just want to try and see if this feeling can be rekindled,” he said.
“If it is rekindled, will you be with Sister Veronica forever?” Jasper asked.
“I will date her, but… no one can guarantee that we will be together forever!” he said.
After all, Veronica had also said in his memory, “Mason, I will always be with you!”
“Mason, let’s always be this good to each other!”
“Mason, let’s always trust each other, okay?”
But in this world, some things are easy to say but so hard to do!
Jasper seemed like she wanted to say something, but hesitated.
“What’s wrong? Do you want to say something?” asked Mason.
“What if in the future, you and Sister Veronica…will you hypnotize her again?” she asked.
“No, once was enough,” he replied.
In the following days, Mason and Veronica met more often, and the Reed family’s car would always be waiting at the school gate
Fortunately, Mason had bought a BMW, but the Reed family’s car was naturally not cheap, costing around two million.
As for the various rumors about Veronica, they began to spread more and more wildly in school.
Some said she was doing compensated dating.
Some said she was being kept by a man.
Others said she was working at an agency, possibly trying to sell herself to become a star, since the entertainment industry is known for such things.
As for these rumors, Veronica didn’t pay much attention to them. After all, since she was in elementary school, junior high, high school…because of living with Mason, she had already heard countless rumors.
She had even developed immunity to all kinds of gossip, treating them as nothing more than other people’s nonsense.
On the other hand, Shirley, who had a good relationship with Veronica, was infuriated by these gossips.
“Veronica, aren’t you going to clarify things? They’re talking about you like that and you’re not angry?”
Shirley asked.
“What’s there to be angry about? The truth will speak for itself. Besides, the more you explain, the more the other person will think you’re guilty,” Veronica replied.
Shirley could only say, “By the way, is the person who drives the luxury car to pick you up every day your friend?”
“Yes,” Veronica replied. In fact, Shirley had asked this question before and she had answered it.
“But I saw that person, he’s over 40 years old. How did you become friends with him?” Shirley asked.
“Over 40 years old?” Veronica was stunned.
“Yes, he comes to pick you up every day. He looks like he’s over 40 years old. Does he just look old or what?”
After a few seconds of confusion, Veronica finally understood who Shirley was talking about.
“That’s just my driver who comes to pick me up,” Veronica explained.
“Your driver?” Shirley was shocked. “Oh my god, your friend has a driver too. Well, it’s not surprising for someone who has a car like that. So how old is your friend?”
“He’s 18,” Veronica replied.
“He’s two years younger than us. Is he a boy or a girl?” Shirley asked.
“He’s a boy.”
“Oh, so he’s younger than you,” Shirley said with a flirtatious expression. “Are you and your friend…
um, really just friends?”
Veronica’s face turned slightly red, and Shirley’s gaze became even more flirtatious. “Oh, it seems like there’s something going on. But with all the rumors going around school, even if you don’t care, it will still have an impact on you. Why not have your friend come to school and show himself? Maybe it can quell those rumors.”
“Show himself?” If she really let Mason come to her school, then there might be even more rumors.
Mason might even get involved.
She and Mason weren’t really in a relationship, so it wouldn’t be good to involve him in her affairs.
“Let’s talk about it later,” Veronica said.
If her relationship with Mason was only a short period of time, then there was no need to have him come and quell the rumors.
“Hey, I was really curious to meet your friend,” Shirley muttered. After all, at 18 years old, having a luxury car and a driver, what kind of rich young master was he?
If he was even more handsome, he would be even more attractive!
“But at 18, he’s only a freshman, right?” Shirley said.
“He’s a junior, he skipped grades,” Veronica said.
“Oh, I see. Haha, well Veronica, keep working hard and try to win him over. Although there’s a two-year age difference, these days there are a lot of sister-brother couples. And I feel like you’re very suitable for that kind of relationship,” Shirley patted Veronica’s shoulder and said.
“Suitable?” Veronica was taken aback.
“Yeah, you look like the older sister type, emitting a kind of virtuous and motherly feeling, gentle yet independent and strong, and very good at taking care of people!” When they first met, Shirley was sick with a fever, and Veronica took good care of her!
At that time, she thought that if she had a sister like Veronica, she would be really happy.
“You’re making me sound too good,” Veronica laughed. “But maybe I really am more suited to being an older sister.”
I just don’t know if her sister and Mason can really have a relationship.
Although their interactions are similar to dating, she still feels like there’s some kind of barrier between them, an invisible distance that can’t be crossed even when they’re physically close.
When Veronica went to work at the brokerage company in the afternoon, the manager of the personnel department said to her, “Veronica, there’s a new employee today. Can you introduce him to the company and your usual work? He’ll be working with you later.”
Working with her, so he’s also a part-time assistant?
“Okay!” Veronica agreed.
But when she saw the new employee, she was stunned.
It was Daniel, and if this was a coincidence, then the world was too small.
