“Worrying, but there’s really no other way,” Grace said.
“How about taking Mason to see a psychologist?” Lina suggested.
“We’ve been there, but Mason is very resistant, so it’s not really helpful,” Grace said.
Lina sighed at her words.
Valda said, “Maybe in a couple of years, the child will change. People’s growth often happens in a moment.”
“That’s true. Anyway, we just need to guide him more in these two years,” Grace said.
The three women changed the topic and started talking about
Lina’s future son-in-law.
If Mason is quiet because of his introverted personality and difficulty in communicating with others, then
Chandler is quiet simply because he’s too lazy to talk.
If he does speak, he’s definitely part of the sarcastic group.
For example, when Tina saw the baby not crying, she wondered, “Why isn’t she crying?”
Chandler simply spat out the word “stupid.”
Of course, he meant it for Tina.
Fortunately, Tina was used to Chandler’s way of speaking and continued to ask, “Why isn’t she crying?”
Chandler rolled his eyes, but still began to explain the reason for not crying to Tina.
As a result, Tina became impatient and pulled Jasper to play with her.
Before Jasper could say anything, Chandler suddenly said, “Wait, Tina, your hair is loose!”
“Hair?” Tina blinked her eyes and then went straight to Chandler’s side, and Chandler actually took out a small comb from his pocket and started to re-braid Tina’s hair.
Valda, who was not far away, was stunned, “Uh, your future son-in-law, will… braid hair?”
Valda asked Lina.
Lina had a conflicted expression on her face, one that was both proud and helpless. “Yes, she can. She can even braid hair better than me.”
Speaking of it, having a future son-in-law who is handy is nice, but if his handiness makes your own daughter look down on her mother’s skills, it can be quite disheartening.
Especially when it comes to being handy, Chandler is quite skilled. However, his mouth has a tendency to anger people to no end, which makes Lina’s feelings towards him quite complicated.
Chandler’s hair combing skills were very proficient, indicating that he often combed Tina’s hair. In no time at all, he had finished combing it.
Jasper and Mick weren’t particularly surprised to see each other, as they had previously met before at the Stephenson family’s place, where they both frequented.
Veronica was surprised and widened her eyes, “You…you’re really good at braiding hair.” she exclaimed in shock.
Chandler glanced at Veronica with indifference and said, “What’s so difficult about it?” He thought it was a simple task that only a fool would struggle with.
“But… but it’s the first time I’ve seen a boy braid someone’s hair,” Veronica said. After all, she had never seen a boy like that around her.
“That’s because you’ve met too few people,” said Chandler.
Veronica was suddenly at a loss for words.
Tina finished combing her hair and went to play with Jasper. Mick walked over to Chandler and said,
“Don’t you find it troublesome to comb a girl’s hair?”
“I don’t know,” said Chandler, his attitude towards Mick being somewhat different.
Once, he had a discussion with Mick about viruses, but they couldn’t convince each other, so they decided to take action.
Two people engaged in a virus attack and defense battle against each other, using viruses to attack each other’s computers. However, in the end, there was no clear winner.
Chandler thinks that he actually has the advantage over Mick because he is two years older than him.
If both individuals are of the same age, there’s a chance that he will lose.
After that, Chandler and Mick became close.
“Is it not troublesome? Do you enjoy styling girls’ hair?” asked Mick curiously.
“No,” Chandler replied. “But Tina is my future wife, so I wouldn’t consider it a hassle.”
Mick was speechless for a moment.
At his age, he naturally understands what a wife is all about. He knows a little about Chandler and
Tina’s engagement, but he can’t understand why Chandler decided to marry Tina when she was born.
Marriage… isn’t that something you’re supposed to do when you’re older?
That should be very far away!
Chandler never spoke about the reason.
At this moment, Mason grabbed Veronica and asked her very seriously, “I can also braid your hair for you.”
Veronica paused for a moment, then responded, “No need, I’m not as young as Tina. I can braid my own hair.”
“But you like guys who can braid girls’ hair, right?” Mason asked.
“It’s not that I like him or anything, it’s just that… um, he’s quite rare. But I think a guy like him would actually be very gentle,”
muttered Veronica.
Although Chandler can be a bit sarcastic, it’s clear that when he’s styling Tina’s hair, he’s very gentle, as if he’s afraid of hurting her.
“I can learn to style hair, and I can also become very gentle,” Mason said. “So, sister, can you please not go and like someone else?”
Veronica hesitated for a moment as she looked at Mason and said, “Mason, you don’t need to learn or change anything just because of something I said. I don’t want you to make changes just for me.” She didn’t like the idea of Mason changing himself just because of her.
Because every time he made a change based on her casual remark, it always left her feeling heavy-
hearted and gradually gave her a suffocating sensation.
Even now, sometimes she is afraid that her unintentional words might cause him to make some changes.
“Why?” asked Mason.
“Because… everyone is an independent individual, and should live well in this world for themselves. You should have things that you like, rather than liking what I like.”
She said.
At the age of 12, he/she is already a 6th grade elementary school student. In a few months, he/she will graduate from elementary school and move on to junior high school.
As she grew older, her perspective on many issues changed.
“Is it not good that I like the things you like?” he asked.
“But I hope you have things that you like, even if they’re not things that I like. Things that you enjoy,”
Veronica said.
“I don’t want to!” Mason rejected almost without thinking, “If it’s not something you like, then I definitely won’t like it either!”
His words were so decisive that it left her at a loss for what to say next.
Sometimes, his stubbornness made her feel helpless, as if once he had made up his mind about something, it was impossible to change it.
Grace, who was not far away, seemed to notice the strange atmosphere between the two children and walked over, asking, “What’s wrong?”
Veronica was the first to shake her head and say, “It’s nothing, Auntie Grace.”
Mason remained silent.
Grace turned to Veronica and said, “I know you’re mature, but if Mason really does something that makes you unhappy, you tell
“Auntie Grace, really, it’s nothing. I just don’t want Mason to like something just because I like it. He should have things that he likes on his own,” Veronica explained.
“Why should I like something that Auntie doesn’t like? I don’t want to do that,” Mason blurted out.
Grace noticed her son’s stubbornness in this regard and understood that Veronica had good intentions. She said to her, “I know you mean well and hope that Mason can become independent, but it’s important to take it slow.”
“Mhmm,” Veronica nodded.
In the evening, Grace told Jason about what happened between
Veronica and Mason today in the bedroom.
“You tell me, what should we do if Mason continues like this? The child is too attached to Veronica,” Grace said with concern.
“It’s actually not a big deal, as long as Veronica ends up with
Mason in the future,” said Jason.
“That also depends on whether Veronica likes Mason. But if
Veronica only sees Mason as a younger brother and has no romantic feelings towards him, then what should we do?” Grace said, expressing her biggest concern.
“If that’s really the case, then let Veronica fall in love with Mason,”
said Jason.
Grace felt overwhelmed. “When it comes to matters of the heart, you can’t just fall in love at will. If emotions could be easily controlled by our willpower, there wouldn’t be so many unattainable things in this world.”
“Mason is our son. If he truly wants Veronica to be with him for the rest of his life, then he can definitely make Veronica fall in love with him,” Jason said confidently.
“Are you sure about this?” she asked.
“Yes, I’m sure,” even if Veronica doesn’t love Mason, he will still fulfill his son’s wishes in the future. However, he didn’t say this to her at the moment because he knew she wouldn’t agree even if he did.
Grace is different from him. Her heart is full of light, which is why she will become a lawyer. Over the years, she will fight for justice and defend those who have been wronged in court.
