He was different, he was always in the darkness, but because of her, he slowly started to become brighter.
However, there were some things in his nature that he couldn’t get rid of.
He just didn’t want to show his dark side in front of her. He could behave the way she expected him to.
“But…” Grace seemed to want to say something else, but Jason hugged her and said, “Okay, Mason is only 10 years old now, and his feelings for Veronica should only be attachment. As for whether he will fall in love with her in the future and what Veronica will do, even if we think about it now, we can’t do anything. Maybe in the future, things will not develop as we expected. What we can do now is to wait and see.”
And when the time really comes to take action, then they will take action.
Grace had to give up.
After all, Mason’s matter couldn’t be concluded in a short time.
At this moment, Veronica was lying in bed in the Barlow family, preparing to go to sleep, suddenly, the door was knocked twice.
She hesitated for a moment, knowing who was outside the door at this moment.
Usually, at this point, she would shout or directly open the door, but…
Veronica hesitated, her body didn’t move, and she didn’t make a sound.
Time passed by second by second, the room was quiet, and after the two knocks on the door, there was no other sound outside the room.
After about 10 minutes, Veronica finally stood up, walked to the door, and opened it.
A figure was standing outside the room, and those clear eyes were looking straight at her.
Veronica was shocked, “You…why are you still here?”
“I’m waiting for you to open the door, sis.” Mason replied as if it was a matter of course.
“But…but I didn’t come to the door, you should have gone back to your own room.” Veronica said awkwardly.
“But you’re here to open the door now, aren’t you?” He asked strangely.
“What if I never opened the door?” She asked back.
“I’ll just wait here.”
“You’ll only be waiting until morning!”
“Well, then I’ll wait until morning,” he said nonchalantly.
To him, it didn’t matter how long he had to wait outside the door.
Veronica was helpless seeing Mason like this, so she could only say to him, “Then… why don’t you come in first.”
then
Mason obediently followed Veronica into the room, automatically climbed onto the bed, pulled back the covers, and lay down on her bed.
That was his usual position for lying down.
He didn’t like sleeping alone at night, and always liked to go into her room and sleep next to her. It made him feel comfortable and satisfied.
“Um… this is the last time,” Veronica said as she got into bed and spoke to Mason.
“The last time?” His eyes flashed with confusion.
“Right, this is the last time. We won’t continue sleeping together like this in the future,” said Veronica.
Mason’s pretty little face suddenly sank as he asked Veronica, “Why is it the last time?”
“We have grown up, you are a boy and I am a girl, we cannot continue sleeping together,” said
Veronica.
“But your daddy and mommy sleep together, and so do mine,” said Mason.
“But they are a married couple!”
“So, let’s become husband and wife.”
Veronica was dumbfounded when she heard this. Even though Mason was two years younger than her, he should still know what being a couple means, right?
“Mason, how can we be husband and wife? We are siblings!” Veronica corrected.
“Why can’t older sister and younger brother be married?” asked Mason.
“Of course not!” Veronica said. For her, this was a simple matter of habit.
“Why not?” He persisted in asking why.
But 12-year-old Veronica couldn’t explain the question at the moment, so she could only say, “It’s just not allowed!”
“Even if it’s not allowed, I will make us husband and wife,” Mason said.
Veronica stared at the person in front of her. She knew how stubborn he could be, so she didn’t continue to argue with him about the previous question. Instead, she said, “Mason, I hope you can always be my good little brother, okay? We’ve grown up now, and it’s inconvenient to sleep together, but other than that, everything can be the same as before!”
At this moment, Veronica deliberately softened her tone, which eased Mason’s expression.
“But I want to sleep with you,” Mason said.
“But we’ve grown up now, and the other girls in our class sleep alone, so…I want to sleep alone too, okay?” Veronica showed a look of longing.
Mason stared at her with his beautiful eyes.
“Mason?” Veronica spoke again.
“Do you really want to sleep alone?” asked Mason gloomily.
Veronica nodded vigorously.
Mason furrowed his eyebrows, as if pondering something.
After a while, he asked, “What should I do if I can’t fall asleep?”
“How about I keep you company when you can’t sleep?” Veronica suggested.
Mason reluctantly nodded at Veronica’s words, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She immediately hugged Mason and said, “It’s settled then. Whenever you can’t sleep, I’ll keep you company, but otherwise, you need to sleep in your own room.”
Mason hugged the other person, burying their face in their shoulder. He felt happy because she was happy too.
But this time, for some reason, he felt a sense of emptiness in his heart, as if something was slowly leaving him.
Valda is a new mother and naturally wants to take care of everything for her child. However, in reality, she doesn’t have to do much besides breastfeeding.
In the evening, after feeding her daughter once again, Valda looked at her daughter’s big phoenix eyes and liked her more and more. Her daughter’s genes combined well, with some features resembling
Valda and others resembling Brian.
According to Lina’s words, when this child grows up, she may charm a lot of men.
Valda’s mind suddenly flashed scenes from soap operas where multiple men pursued one woman. She had even drawn such scenes in her early comics.
If there are really several men pursuing her daughter at that time, should she give her child some advice and suggestions?
However, it seems that no one has ever pursued her!
It was always her pursuing others.
“What are you thinking about?” Brian’s voice suddenly sounded in her ear.
Valda snapped out of her thoughts and saw Brian standing next to her in a bathrobe, with slightly damp hair.
“I’ll help you dry your hair,” she said, picking up the towel next to him and proactively helping him wipe it.
And he naturally bent down, matching her sitting height.
“Has the child eaten well?” he asked.
“Okay, I think she’ll fall asleep soon,” Valda said. Babies at this stage tend to fall asleep quickly even if they wake up briefly.
“At that moment, she fell asleep. You should also go to bed early, as you will need to wake up in the middle of the night.” Brian said.
“Mhmm,” Valda responded.
“By the way, what were you thinking just now?” Brian brought the conversation back to the previous question, as he noticed you seemed lost in thought.
“I was just thinking… I wonder how many boys will pursue our daughter in the future,” said Valda.
“Even if she wants to pursue a relationship, it will be a long time from now. Anyway, before she goes to college, she is not allowed to date.” When Brian thought about his precious daughter being taken away by some guy in the future, he felt inexplicably depressed.
“Before college, no dating?” Valda was taken aback. “When did you develop this idea?” She had always thought Brian was the type with a more open-minded educational philosophy.
As a result, unexpectedly, there was this particular aspect in his approach to educating his children.
“After having a daughter,” said Brian.
Valda was a bit speechless and asked, “What if my daughter really likes someone and wants to date them?”
After all, children nowadays are more mature in their thinking compared to back then.
Furthermore, at that time, many people were already dating in high school.
Although high school romance may not be as direct as adult relationships, the hazy feeling it brings is actually quite beautiful.
Sometimes, Valda enjoys watching youth campus dramas herself.
And in the comics she likes, there are several classic school-themed ones.
“If we must talk, then let’s talk under my supervision,” said Brian.
“So how are we supposed to talk about this?” Valda laughed and cried at the same time. If that’s the case, the child will be very uncomfortable!
At this moment, Valda feels a bit sympathetic towards her future daughter’s love life. If she really meets someone she likes, that person must be able to withstand the treatment of a future father-in-law like her!
“If our daughter grows up like Tina, Jasper, or Veronica, having a childhood sweetheart and all, what will you do then? Will you monitor her too?” Valda said.
“That would require her to truly have talent, I never planned on having a future son-in-law so soon,”
