William said.
“Well… don’t be angry,” she said.
He looked at her and said after a moment, “Okay, I won’t be angry.”
“I met Lawrence in the murder mystery game in our class just now, and he… kissed me,” she said, her voice trembling slightly towards the end, and… with difficulty.
After all, being forcibly kissed was not a good memory.
William’s body suddenly stiffened, so that’s why she ran over to kiss him when she saw him.
“It must be very sad,” William said.
He knew that she must have been unwilling, especially since it was Lawrence, the person she had always felt indebted to.
“A little bit,” Jasper said with a slightly hoarse voice, “People can really change a lot.”
The Lawrence in her heart was once shy and innocent, but this Lawrence, who said he could secretly date and was two-timing, made her feel like she didn’t know him at all.
Perhaps only she was still living in memories, thinking that Lawrence was still the Lawrence of the past, unwilling to admit that the Lawrence in reality had changed too much.
And now, even if she didn’t want to admit it, she had to.
“Don’t think about it anymore, forget about it. If you still can’t forget, I’ll help you. I’ll help you no matter how many times,” William said, slowly bending down and getting close to her face. His voice was gentle and low, “Do you want me to help you?”
She felt that his words had lifted the burden from her heart.
Her William was always so gentle to her!
“Okay, help me!” She wanted to use his kiss to cover up the bad memories. She only wanted to remember the feeling of his kiss.
As she wished, he kissed her lips gently and carefully, not missing any corner of her lips, as if he wanted to completely eliminate the scent left by Lawrence.
Jasper, her Jasper, would never let her get hurt no matter what!
Veronica and Mason were browsing the stalls in the school. The various small items were indeed very attractive.
However, Veronica clearly felt that walking with Mason attracted a lot of attention.
Especially in the campus, the attention was even more exaggerated than on the street.
“Are you very famous in school?” Veronica couldn’t help asking.
“No, I just came as an exchange student this semester. I don’t know many people in school,” Mason said.
Veronica wanted to say that just because he didn’t know many people didn’t mean that many people didn’t know him!
But thinking about it, Mason was the Mason of the Reed family, and Jasper was also at Stanford
University. Naturally, when Mason came to Stanford University, many people probably already knew him.
However, that person is now her boyfriend, and it’s quite an honor for her.
“Still haven’t decided what to buy?” Mason asked. “How about clothes or shoes? Anything visible, just buy two identical ones?”
How much stuff would they have to buy then?
Suddenly, Veronica saw a small booth selling handmade trinkets and became interested, so she walked over.
“Can I help you with something?” The vendor, a girl, asked eagerly when she saw Veronica approach.
“Just looking.” Veronica replied, and began to look at the trinkets. There were hair clips, bracelets, and hairpins, but some of them suited her better than Mason.
“Do you have anything that can be used by both men and women?” She asked. She quite liked the handmade trinkets at this booth, unlike the ones that could be found everywhere online.
“These phone charms can be used by both men and women.” The girl replied warmly.
Veronica’s eyes lit up. Yes, phones are something that people use every day, so they would see the charm every day. If they both took out their phones with the same charm in public, people would know they were a couple without explanation.
Thinking of this, Veronica began to look for phone charms. After a while, she chose a leather cat paw charm and asked the person next to her, “Mason, what do you think of this?”
Mason was originally facing away from the booth, texting Jasper on his phone.
Jasper had sent a message asking if they were free for lunch.
After hearing Veronica’s voice, Mason turned to look at the cat paw charm in her hand and said, “It’s pretty cute.”
The girl running the booth was surprised to see Mason and stared at him with wide eyes. She never expected the campus heartthrob to be standing in front of her booth.
“Um… does Mr. Reed have any preferences?” The girl asked.
At this point, even if she had to give it away for free, she would be willing to.
“Do you have two of these cat paw pendants that are the same?” Mason asked.
“Yes, yes!” the girl quickly replied, pulling out a cat paw pendant identical to the one Veronica was holding.
“Do you like it?” Mason asked Veronica.
Veronica nodded, “It feels pretty good.”
“Then let’s take these two,” Mason said, then turned to the girl at the booth and asked, “How much?”
The girl gave a number, and Mason scanned the QR code on the booth with his phone to pay. Veronica hung one of the pendants on her phone and then said to Mason, “What about your phone? Let me hang it for you.”
“Okay.” Mason handed his phone to Veronica without objection.
Veronica hung the cat paw pendant on Mason’s phone.
The girl at the booth watched this scene in a daze, feeling that the interaction between these two people was very natural, as if they had known each other for a long time.
Is this person Mr. Reed’s friend? It seems like their relationship very good, the girl thought to herself.
is
“Do you want to buy anything else?” Mason asked.
“No, these couple pendants are enough,” Veronica said with a smile, handing the phone with the pendant back to Mason.
The girl at the booth was stunned to hear this.
Did she hear it right, a couple’s pendant? Could it be that this woman and Mason are in a romantic relationship?
But how is that possible?
Didn’t Mason just return to the country not long ago? And with so many people in school asking about
Mason’s news, there has never been a rumor about him having a girlfriend!
But the problem is… Mason did not deny what this woman said!
Couple’s pendants, only couples would choose the same pendant to hang on their respective phones.
Just as the female vendor was still randomly thinking about it, suddenly, a voice sounded, “Reed… Mr.
Reed, hello, I am Mezera Ladd, a sophomore in the School of Economics and Trade. I don’t know if the senior remembers me. We have mel before. Today is the campus festival. I didn’t expect the senior to come. You just returned to the country not long ago. How about I be your guide and introduce you…”
Before the other party finished speaking, Mason directly said, “I don’t remember you, let alone need you as a guide.”
“Huh?” Mezera showed an expression that was somewhat unacceptable.
She has always been a beauty in school, pursued by many boys, including those from wealthy families, but she didn’t like any of them.
First, she is beautiful, and second, her own family background is good. She is the daughter of the Ladd
Group, and even her own value is worthy of Mason.
“Um… Mr. Reed, did you really forget? We talked before at the banquet held by the Reed family. My father is the chairman of the Ladd Group, and he has a good relationship with your father. I am well-
intentioned and also want to make you more familiar with the campus.”
After all, her father had already greeted Mason, asking her to get closer to him in school. If she could be with Mason, her future value would naturally be different.
Moreover, Mason’s appearance is very attractive, and she naturally likes it.
It’s just that Mason’s cold attitude towards her is the same as before… Thinking about how she deliberately talked to Mason at the banquet in the past, but he always responded coldly, Mezera felt regretful.
No man has ever treated her like this before!
But now it’s not the same as before. She’s even more beautiful than before and understands men’s psychology better.
“Your father and my father have a good relationship. It’s their business, and you have nothing to do with me,” Mason said lightly.
However, his words did make Mezera lose face, especially in front of so many people.
“Let’s go,” Mason lowered his head and said to Veronica standing beside him.
“Oh,” Veronica responded.
Mezera’s gaze finally fell on Veronica standing next to Mason. In her opinion, Veronica looked very ordinary, wearing cheap clothes and not particularly beautiful. This kind of woman could be found everywhere on campus.
But just now, Mason was cold towards her, but his attitude towards that woman was obviously much gentler. This comparison made her even more uncomfortable.
Seeing the two about to leave, Mezera suddenly said, “Senior, are you refusing my kindness to go to the campus festival with this woman? I wonder what the relationship between her and you is? But I guess this woman is not your girlfriend, after all, your girlfriend couldn’t be so ordinary-looking, right?”
In Mezera’s view, since Mason made her lose face, she wouldn’t let him off easily. Mason was the
Reed family’s Mason, and she couldn’t directly oppose him, but she could use the woman next to him to attack him.
Mason paused and turned his head to look at Mezera coldly, “I don’t need you to evaluate what kind of person my girlfriend is.”
Mason’s words made some of the onlookers gasp in shock.
Mezera was even more stunned and exclaimed, “How is that possible! How could she be your girlfriend?!”
Her words just now were just meant to deliberately attack the woman and create a rift between her and
Mason, but she didn’t expect Mason to answer like this.
“This kind of person?” Mason’s voice became even colder, “Then what kind of person are you? Do you think you’re superior to her?”
