Veronica was surprised. Did Daniel investigate her and Mason’s past?!
He investigated them?!
“Daniel, what is your purpose?” Veronica asked. If he had no purpose, why would he investigate these things?
“What purpose could I have? I just don’t want you to be hurt,” Daniel said. “Veronica, I was hurt because of Mason before, so now I don’t want you to be hurt.”
Upon hearing this, Veronica’s expression softened. “I have decided to be with Mason. I don’t want to bring up the past, and whether or not I will be hurt is my own business. Daniel, I appreciate your concern, but this is my private matter. I hope you won’t interfere anymore.”
Daniel’s face turned extremely unpleasant, and Veronica didn’t say anything else. She turned and walked into the company building.
The company matter wasn’t actually that urgent, and the supervisor didn’t say it had to be dealt with today. In other words, she could come to the company tomorrow to handle it.
So why did Daniel call and make it sound so urgent? Veronica wondered.
On the way back, she looked at her reflection in the subway window. She had actually thought about the possibility that Mason was suddenly with her for revenge.
After all, the timing was too coincidental, and Mason’s attitude towards her had changed quite quickly.
However…if she thought about her understanding of him from childhood to adulthood, she didn’t think he was the type of person to use emotions for revenge.
Even when she had hurt him before, he had chosen hypnosis instead of doing anything to hurt her.
How could such a person come back and do something cruel to her after a few years?!
Therefore, she didn’t believe what Daniel said at all!
When Veronica arrived at the door of her apartment and opened it, she was greeted by a soft light and the smell of food in the air. Then she heard a familiar voice say, “You’re back.”
It was just a simple sentence, but it made her feel like tears were welling up. And when she saw that figure, she suddenly felt like her heart was settling down.
That is… Mason, the person who has accompanied her for the longest time in her life.
“Hmm, I’m back,” she raised her lips and smiled.
“The food is ready, wash your hands and we can eat,” he said.
“Okay,” she replied, put down her bag, washed her hands, and came to the dining table.
There were four dishes and a soup on the table, a bit more than what two people could eat, but it looked good!
Veronica took out her phone and started taking pictures.
“Why are you taking pictures?” Mason asked.
“This is the first meal you’ve cooked since we started dating. Of course, I have to take a picture to commemorate it,” she said.
“If you like the taste later, I can cook for you whenever you want,” Mason said.
Veronica was taken aback. So, he meant that he could cook for her anytime she wanted?
He knew that now, just like before, he would agree to any request she made.
She sat down and started to eat the food.
The taste of the food was better than she had expected, and as a result, she ate half a bowl more than usual.
“It seems that your cooking skills have really improved during your years abroad,” Veronica said.
“Living alone, you always have to do something to pass the time,” he said. If he didn’t find something to distract himself, he would only think about those memories from the past.
Even if the unforgettable feeling has faded away, the memories of those experiences remain vivid in the mind, especially without the emotional attachment.
“It’s true, living alone sometimes requires keeping oneself busy,” Veronica murmured. Mason’s words reminded her of her past.
When she first moved into this apartment alone, she used to overthink things and feel more pain and discomfort as a result.
Only by keeping herself busy could she forget about those
But what about Mason? Is he also doing it for the same reason?
Thinking about this, Veronica looked at the person in front of her and suddenly asked, “Don’t you blame me?”
“Blame you for what?” he asked in return.
“Blame me for misunderstanding you, not trusting you back then, even though you saved me when I was kidnapped,” she said.
“I blame you and resent you, that’s why I chose to be hypnotized,” Mason replied.
“Yes, I should be blamed and resented for misunderstanding and accusing you,” she said.
“I blame and resent you not because of your misunderstanding and accusation,” he said.
She looked surprised, “Not because of that?” Then why?
“I blame and resent you because if you can fall in love with someone, why can’t that person be me?
Why do you only see me as a little brother?” he said.
Veronica was stunned, staring at the person in front of her, completely unaware that he was the one who caused him the most pain back then!
“I’m sorry,” she said, her voice trembling.
“Okay, I accept,” he replied.
She blinked her eyes, was that it?!
Well, he accepted her apology, which was the best outcome, but why did she feel like something was off?
It was like…too casual.
No, it was more like the weight of these things had been building up in her heart for so many years that it had become too heavy.
If only she had understood her feelings earlier, they wouldn’t have wasted all these years, and he wouldn’t have been hypnotized.
What kind of feeling was it to remember everything that had happened but not feel the same emotions anymore?
Did he really feel nothing as he claimed?
Or was it…a feeling too heavy for him, just like her?
Veronica suddenly stood up and hugged Mason. “We must never be apart again, okay?”
“Never?” He lowered his eyes and rested his head on her chest. “There’s nothing in this world that’s
‘never.””
Such promises were as clusive as the word “forever.”
“Then let’s try our best to make ‘never’ come true,” Veronica said.
“Don’t you think that if we work hard, we won’t have to be apart anymore?” he asked.
“Because I love you, and you love me too. As long as we trust each other enough, nothing can separate us except death,” Veronica said.
Mason suddenly looked up, his beautiful black eyes staring straight at Veronica.
“You love me, and I love you?” His voice was huskier than usual.
“Yes,” she said, meeting his gaze without flinching. “Or did I say something wrong?”
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and his gaze became even deeper. After what seemed like an eternity, he finally said, “No, you’re right. You love me, and I love you.”
It turned out that his feelings for her, even under hypnosis, would still fall in love with her again.
Only her! Because she was the one he was destined to love.
Veronica felt as if her whole body was enveloped in a warm embrace. In this moment, she couldn’t help but lower her head and kiss his lips.
She loved him, really loved him.
But she seemed to have realized this fact a little too late. If she had realized it earlier, their pain would have been much less.
From now on, she would love him better! She would work hard to heal the wounds of the past and make them happy.
This kiss, initiated by her, was gentle at first, but after he took control, it became dominant and intense, as if all their emotions. were poured into this kiss.
This kiss made her almost breathless. Just when she thought her heart was about to stop, his lips finally parted from hers.
She was breathing heavily, her face flushed red.
The kiss just now was too intense, making her heart beat hard, and all the blood in her body seemed to be rushing to her head.
“Does it hurt?” he asked, gently touching her lips with his fingertips.
“It’s…fine,” she whispered, feeling the spot where he touched her burning even more.
“Can we kiss again?” he asked.
“Kiss again?” she widened her eyes.
“Don’t want to?” his eyes became even deeper.
How could she not want to? Veronica looked at the person in front of her, he was simply irresistible, especially his lips that had just been kissed, they looked soft and red, moist and charming.
“No…I don’t mind.” She blushed and took the initiative to kiss his lips again.
The feeling of kissing him was so beautiful, as if she was slowly picking up the pieces of what she had lost…
Because…she really loved him.
That night, Veronica didn’t know how many times she kissed Mason, and even at night, Mason didn’t leave, but slept with her in her room.
But for her, it was more warm and comforting than anything else, just like when they were children, holding each other.
When she woke up in the morning and looked at his face, she suddenly felt grateful that she had been willing to “give it a try” with him, grateful that he had given her such an opportunity.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to be this close to him now, let alone fall in love with each other.
In the morning at work, Veronica sat at her desk, processing the documents in front of her, when suddenly Daniel’s voice sounded next to her, “Veronica, yesterday… I’m sorry, I just worried about you, that’s why I said those things.”
