This was the first time he had spoken so clearly about his emotions to her.
Veronica stared at the person in front of her in confusion. So, does this mean that he doesn’t feel secure in their relationship?
Has he always been the one who lacks security in their relationship?!
How could this be?!
In their relationship, he has always been the dominant one. He was the one who suggested “trying to date” and he was the one who took the lead when they officially started dating.
She was more passive, constantly trying to win his affection. So why does he still feel uncertain?
Is it because of their high school days?
Back then, he liked her but she rejected him and chose to be with Daniel. Has this become a shadow over their relationship?
“Do you…not believe that I truly love you?” It took Veronica a while to say these words with a dry throat.
Mason didn’t say anything, but his silence was already an
“I love you, whether or not you want to be with me in the end. I don’t want you to deny my feelings for you,” Veronica said. “Mason, I truly love you!”
“What about Daniel? Didn’t you love him too? If his family didn’t have problems and he didn’t break up with you to get the money to save his father, would you still be in love with him?” Mason suddenly asked.
“Maybe I didn’t love Daniel that much from the beginning!” Veronica said. “At first, I had a crush on him, but later, maybe I sensed your feelings for me and wanted to avoid breaking our sibling-like relationship, so I chose to be with Daniel.”
It can be said that she was the one who made the wrong choice from the beginning!
If she had taken her feelings more seriously and not made a hasty decision, perhaps all the tragedies would not have happened!
“So, from the beginning, you were not my top priority in terms of my feelings, and in the future, you may not be either,” Mason said in a low voice.
“We have a long future ahead of us. How can you say that in the future, I won’t put my feelings for you first, when you haven’t experienced the future yourself?” Veronica looked at his face, which was so close to hers. “Mason, if I can disobey you and escape alone when we’re in danger, it means that I love you enough to risk my life for you. How can you say that I don’t put my feelings for you first?”
His pupils suddenly shrank, as if he was stunned.
She continued, “So now, I put loving you first. No one can predict the future, but I want to be with you in the future, to see the scenery together, and to witness whether my feelings for you are still my top priority.”
His eyelashes trembled slightly, and even his lips trembled slightly.
After a while, he finally said, “If you fall in love with someone else in the future, it will be devastating for you, for me, and for the person you love the most. Even so, do you still want to be with me?”
Veronica smiled. She didn’t think she would love anyone else in the future except for him.
In the first 20 years of her life, he had the most important place in her life.
During the six years they were apart, her feelings for him grew stronger every day. She gradually realized how much she loved him.
So when he suggested “trying to date,” she couldn’t wait to seize the opportunity.
Because she didn’t want to miss him again.
“If that day really comes, no matter what the result is, I am willing to bear it!” Veronica said. “Mason, let’s be together again. After experiencing life and death situations like this, do we still need to be apart? Can’t you see how much I love you?”
A complex light flashed in his black eyes.
For him, every word she said was like the most tempting lure.
But… once they were really together, would he experience that uneasiness and anxiety again, and would those negative emotions consume him again?
“In the future, I will love you even more. I will fill all your anxieties, so don’t worry, Mason. Just let me love you well!” She said, and with the fall of her voice, she kissed him on her own initiative.
The gentle kiss, although just a light touch of lips, conveyed a sense of care and focus.
As if he was a precious baby that she needed to take care of carefully.
Mason endured the kiss without moving, and all the struggles in his eyes eventually turned into a decision.
He slowly closed his eyes, as if to concentrate his senses on her kiss and experience her feelings for him.
When the kiss ended, her voice rang in his ears, “Mason, trust me one more time. I will use all my efforts to love you. Our future will definitely be happy!”
She wanted to be with him.
When he came to her house at the age of three, she wanted to be with him. She wanted to protect him well, give him a lot of love, and make his facial expressions more varied.
His body trembled slightly, and he slowly opened his eyes,
“Veronica, you’re not allowed to lie to me!” This sentence sounded like a threat.
“I didn’t lie to you. Everything I’m saying now is true,” Veronica said, “Or should I kiss you again?”
After speaking, she kissed his lips again.
It feels so good to kiss him!
At this moment, she thought in her mind that between them, the storm will pass and the sun will shine again!
When Jasper came to the ward on the second day, he clearly felt that the atmosphere was different from before.
Especially when Veronica fed Mason the fruit cut by the caregiver, Mason obediently opened his mouth and ate the fruit fed by Veronica.
Jasper was shocked!
Then she leaned over to Veronica’s ear and whispered, “You didn’t really do anything with my second brother, did you?”
Veronica blushed, but still told Jasper, “Mason and I have reconciled.”
“Wow!” Jasper immediately showed a happy expression and looked at Mason, “That’s great, Mason, you and Veronica won’t break up again?”
Mason glanced at Veronica before saying to Jasper, “We won’t break up again in the future.”
Veronica understood that this statement was not only for Jasper, but also for her.
There would never be any more breakups between them in the future!
After getting a definite answer, Jasper happily said, “Great, then you won’t go abroad, will you? Will you continue your studies here?”
“Yes,” Mason replied.
Originally, he wanted to go abroad to stop thinking about
Veronica.
Now that he has decided to be with her, he naturally won’t go abroad anymore.
“When do you plan to get married? Will you get married after graduation?” Jasper asked again.
Veronica almost choked on her own saliva, “Marriage?”
“Don’t you plan on marrying Mason?” Jasper asked with a puzzled expression.
And Mason asked the same question.
“Don’t you plan on marrying me?”
Looking at the almost synchronized question from the siblings in front of her, Veronica didn’t know how to answer.
After a while, she stuttered. “If we get married, wouldn’t it be too carly?”
“Seems a bit carly,” Jasper thought for a moment. Veronica is only two years older than her, and if she gets married after graduating from college, she would only be 22 years old.
Although she planned to marry William after graduation, according to the average age of marriage, getting married at this age for women is a bit early.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was met with a deadly glare from Mason.
Jasper immediately shrunk her neck. Okay, it seems like she said the wrong thing.
“Not early,” Mason said, “getting married right after college graduation is just right, unless you don’t want to marry me.”
Veronica stared at Mason in a daze. They just reconciled yesterday and started dating again, and now they’re discussing getting married after graduation. Isn’t this moving too fast?!
She was having trouble keeping up with this pace!
“Don’t you want to marry me after we graduate?” Mason asked with a serious expression.
Suddenly, Veronica had a feeling that if she gave a negative answer, she would once again close
Mason’s heart that she had just opened.
“Marriage…she had never really thought about this question.”
“But…it seemed natural to her that she would always be with him in the future.”
“So, thinking about it, it was natural for her to marry him.”
“As for the age at which they would get married, it didn’t matter. Whether it was early or late, he would be the only person she would marry in her lifetime.”
“I do.” Veronica met Mason’s gaze and replied, “But when we graduate from college, you…probably won’t have reached the legal age for marriage yet. So, let’s get married when you reach that age!”
Mason’s expression softened at her words. “Okay, when that time comes, we’ll get married.”
Jasper watched the scene in front of her in shock.
Okay, she had just said it casually, but…Mason and Veronica had actually made a direct engagement.
Wasn’t this too explosive?
If their families found out, who knows how shocked they would be!
But after Jasper told her family about it, she didn’t get the shocked reaction she expected.
Or to be more specific, her mother was pleased and showed a surprised expression. “Really? They said they’ll get married when Mason reaches the legal age? That’s great! These two kids are finally together, and my heart can finally rest.”
As for her father and older brother, their reactions were almost the same, with two similar faces showing…no surprise at all.
It was as if she had just commented on the weather today.
“Dad, big brother, why aren’t you surprised at all?” Jasper couldn’t help but ask in the end.
“Things that have been thought of for a long time are not surprising,” Mick lazily said.
