However, the other party was just a child who couldn’t even remember her parents’ phone number.
After asking for a while, the only useful information was the little girl’s mother and the fact that she was wearing a dress of the same color as hers. That was why the little girl mistook Veronica for her mother.
“Then let’s take you to the police station, and the police officer will help you find your mommy and daddy, okay?” Veronica said.
2/4 The little girl was already enjoying a cotton candy that Veronica had bitten into. After hearing
Veronica’s words, she quickly nodded her head.
So Veronica took the little girl’s hand and said to Mason, “Let’s take the child to the police station first.”
Mason nodded, but after the little girl had walked for a while, she got tired and opened her arms, shouting, “Hug! I want a hug.”
“Okay, let me hug you.” Veronica said, about to bend down to pick up the little girl.
“Let me do it.” Mason said.
The little one clearly didn’t want Mason to hold her, and said in a childish voice, “I want sister to hold me.”
Veronica smiled and said, “Let me hold her.” At this age, the child only weighed about 30 pounds, so carrying her for a short distance shouldn’t be a problem.
“I’ll do it!” Mason said, ignoring the little one’s protests and picking her up.
“I want sister…” the little one didn’t finish her sentence before Mason’s stern look silenced her.
“Mason, don’t scare her,” Veronica said.
The little girl shrank back, clearly a little frightened.
Mason asked the little girl, “Why do you want sister to hold you?”
The little girl stiffened in Mason’s arms and didn’t dare move, her voice trembling as she said,
“Because I like sister.”
“So wouldn’t it be easier to be held by the sister you like?” Mason said.
The little girl seemed to be seriously considering this question. After a moment, her body wasn’t as stiff, and her expression wasn’t as scared as before. It was as if she had gotten used to being held by
Mason.
When they passed by a cake shop, the little one’s face lit up with a look of longing. “Mommy said she’s going to buy me a cake today.”
Veronica smiled knowingly and said, “Do you want sister to buy you one?”
“Yes, please. Thank you, sister,” the little one said sweetly.
So Veronica had Mason put the little one down, took her hand, and went into the cake shop to pick out a cake the child would like. Mason followed behind them.
Soon, the little girl had picked out a cake shaped like a small animal, and Mason paid for it. The little one eagerly began to eat
1.
Veronica noticed the situation and decided to let the little girl sit in the cake shop and eat cake. She also ordered a warm glass of milk for the girl. At the same time, she searched for the phone. number of the nearby police station online and called them to prevent the parents from reporting the child missing at the police station, thinking that the child had not been found yet.
After everything was done, Veronica turned her head and saw the little girl eating cake with a face covered in cream, just like a little kitten. Mason was sitting next to her, wiping the cream off the little girl’s face with a tissue.
Veronica was surprised because this was not something she expected Mason to do.
However, for some reason, this scene gave her a warm feeling, just like when she and Mason used to eat cake together and she would help him wipe the cream off his lips.
At that time, she never thought that one day they might be separated!
When the little one finished eating the cake, Veronica and Mason took her to the police station.
According to the police, the girl’s parents had already contacted the police station and were on their way.
So Veronica and Jasper waited together at the police station for the girl’s parents.
Soon, a man and a woman hurried over. The woman was wearing a dress in the same color as
Veronica’s. When the woman saw the little girl, she immediately choked up and hugged her, while the man kept thanking Veronica and Mason for bringing the girl to the police station.
The family of three had to register at the police station. After that, Veronica and Mason left the police station. Veronica smiled and said, “Today’s shopping trip was quite meaningful. We helped a little girl find her parents.”
“When a child goes missing, parents will worry like that, won’t they?” Mason suddenly said.
“Yes, they will worry a lot,” Veronica said, looking at him intently. Did he think of his own childhood? At that time, he was also separated from his parents, which led him to end up with the Barlow family.
He didn’t say anything else, just held her hand and continued walking.
On the day of the campus festival, Veronica heard her phone alarm and groggily reached out to her bedside table to find her phone with her eyes closed.
A voice spoke up, “Do you want me to help you turn off the alarm?”
“Oh, yes…thank you…” she mumbled in response. Suddenly, she jolted awake and opened her eyes to see a figure standing by her bed, holding her phone and turning off the alarm.
“Mason?!” Veronica exclaimed in surprise. “How…how did you get here?”
“Didn’t I say I would drive you to the campus festival at Stanford University today? But if you’re still tired, you can sleep a little longer. It doesn’t make much of a difference whether we go early or late,”
Mason said.
“No need to sleep anymore, I…I’ll get up now!” Veronica quickly replied.
She hurriedly got up and went into the bathroom, looking at herself in the mirror with a flushed face.
Why did it seem like she always blushed and her heart raced in front of him since they reunited? They used to live together and had seen each other wake up countless times, so why was she so shy now that he saw her like this?!
Veronica quickly washed her face with cold water and pressed down the redness on her face. After finishing her morning routine, she walked out of the bathroom and saw some breakfast items on the table.
“These breakfast items are…”
“They were made by the chef at home. I brought them over when I came out. We can eat them before we leave,” Mason said.
Veronica sat down at the table and saw porridge, sandwiches, some side dishes, and heated milk in front of her.
She knew that he could be very attentive if he wanted to be. When they were together before, she was always carefree while he was very attentive. He would tuck her in when she slept, put a warm pack in her backpack when it was cold, and bring a thermos for her when they went out…
(End of text)
Veronica lowered her head and began eating the breakfast in front of her. It was still warm because it had been brought in a thermos.
Meanwhile, he just sat there watching her.
At this moment, even though they hadn’t said anything to each other, it felt like it was enough.
After finishing breakfast, Veronica and Mason left together and got into Mason’s car.
But today there was no driver, Mason was driving himself.
At 18 years old, he already had his driver’s license.
And when he drove, he gave off a sense of being an adult.
“What’s wrong? You’ve been staring at me.” He suddenly asked in the car.
“I feel like you’ve really grown up.” She murmured.
“Of course I’ve grown up, otherwise do you think I’ll always be a kid?” He said.
“No, you’re not a kid now, and I don’t treat you like one.” Veronica said, “Because you’re my boyfriend now.”
Yes, her boyfriend. Even…if someone asked her who she wanted to spend her life with, only his figure would appear in her mind.
It was because she loved him. In these passing years, she slowly fell in love with him, that’s why she felt this way!
The car arrived at the parking lot of Stanford University, and Veronica followed Mason out of the car and headed towards the location of the campus festival.
3/4 Meanwhile, in a corner of the Stanford University parking lot, Daniel sat in his car, watching
Veronica and Mason leave. As expected, the two of them came together to the campus festival.
It seems like Veronica and Mason’s relationship is getting better and better!
Why is it that after everything, they can still be together, while his life has become a mess? He is not willing to accept it, how could he be?
Daniel picked up his phone and sent a text message, “I’m here too.”
The campus festival at Stanford University is naturally very lively.
Even many students from other schools come to Stanford University to join in the fun. At this moment,
Veronica is walking around the campus festival with Mason, looking at the various stalls selling things, feeling quite intrigued.
Many of the stalls sell things that students have made themselves, which cannot be found outside, giving people a sense of the joy of treasure hunting.
“Have you seen anything you like?” Mason asked.
“They’re all pretty interesting. Oh, by the way, can we buy two of the same thing today?” she asked.
“Two of the same thing?” he seemed a bit puzzled. “Do you really like that thing so much that you want to buy two?”
“No, it’s not like that. It’s just because I like it,” her face turned red again. Actually, she wanted to buy something for couples, like clothes, shoes, or something else.
Having the same thing as each other makes it feel like they are closer to each other.
Before, she didn’t think too much about these things.
But today, at the campus festival, seeing many couples wearing matching clothes, this idea has become stronger and stronger for her.
“Why is that?” he looked at her puzzled.
“Well… um, there’s something about it that makes it feel more like we’re a couple,” she explained the reason.
He paused for a moment, then said, “Okay, we can buy a few more things. And also, we’re not just like a couple, we are a couple now.”
She looked at him and felt even warmer inside.
On the other side of the campus festival, Jasper was walking around with William.
