A few days later in the evening, when she returned home, she found her father, stepmother, and younger brother sitting in the living room with serious expressions.
As soon as he saw her return, her father fixed her with a cold, unwavering stare.
“Dad? What’s wrong?” asked Veronica.
“Are you dating any of the boys from school?” Archer asked sharply.
Veronica was surprised, “Dad, how come…?”
“How do I know? Your younger brother saw that guy walk you home, and I even went out of my way to check the surveillance footage from nearby stores. Turns out that guy has been walking you home almost every day! So, what’s the deal between you two? Have you slept together?”
Veronica’s face turned red, she never expected her father to suddenly say such a thing.
“Of course… there isn’t any!” she said indignantly, feeling embarrassed.
Archer and Rosalind breathed a sigh of relief. Archer pointed immediately and stop seeing him! I knew something was up when Mason didn’t come back to stay with us recently. It’s all because of this!”
Veronica said, “Dad, Mason is staying with the Reed family. It has nothing to do with me dating Daniel.
Daniel and I haven’t done anything wrong. Why do we have to break up?”
“What do you mean you haven’t done anything wrong? You’re still a student, and dating is a mistake!
Anyway, you better break up right away, or I won’t forgive you!” Archer said fiercely.
Veronica said, “I won’t break up. I don’t think I did anything wrong!”
“You…you…” Archer was so angry that his fingers were trembling.
Rosalind quickly placed her hand on her husband’s chest and said to Veronica, “Veronica, just listen to your father. Do you really want to make him sick with anger?”
Veronica clenched her teeth tightly, but she didn’t admit her mistake.
However, what happened next completely exceeded
Veronica’s expectations. She thought her father would at most pressure her, but she didn’t expect him to go directly to the Cross family.
“Sis, Mom and Dad went to the Cross family. It seems like they want you to break up with your boyfriend! I’ve given you a heads up, so remember to say some good things about me in front of
Mason in the future!” Lionel said on the phone.
After the phone call ended, Veronica looked at Daniel with a confused expression.
“What’s wrong?” asked Daniel.
Veronica said, “It seems like my dad and stepmother went to your house!”
Daniel’s face slightly changed, “Do they know we’re dating?”
“Well, before, they didn’t approve of us dating and wanted me to break up with you. I didn’t agree, but I didn’t expect them to go to your house,” said Veronica.
After all, it was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so for a moment, she was a bit confused.
“I’ll go back to my house first and take a look,” said Daniel.
“I’ll go too!” Veronica quickly added. After all, this matter was related to her and she couldn’t let Daniel face it alone.
Daniel heard the words, thought for a moment, nodded and said, “Okay!”
The two of them hurriedly made their way to the Cross family.
On the way to the Cross family, Daniel received a call from his father asking him to come back as soon as possible.
When Daniel and Veronica arrived at the Cross family’s house, they saw Archer and Rosalind shouting and cursing at the people of the Cross family in the living room. The words they used were all very offensive.
They are saying that the Cross family intentionally flirted with the daughter of the Barlow family. They are also accusing the Cross family of using unethical methods and are threatening to take them to court.
In short, the Cross family must make their son break up, otherwise this matter will not be resolved.
Daniel’s parents were extremely angry. As soon as they saw their son come back, they immediately said to him, “Look at you, what kind of girlfriend did you date?
Since she asked you to break up, then break up. Don’t cause trouble for the family!”
Daniel looked at Veronica’s parents and tried to control himself as he said, “Hello, Uncle and Aunt. My name is Daniel, and Veronica and I are currently dating. However, we will not do anything inappropriate and will focus on our studies. Our relationship will not affect our academic performance.”
However, these words had no effect on Archer and Rosalind.
“Dad, enough! Why are you forcing me to break up? Ask yourselves honestly, are you really doing this for my own good or for your own selfish reasons?” Veronica said.
“What are you talking about?” Archer said irritably. “Just because of this guy, you and Mason have a rift, and now Mason won’t return to the Barlow family. Are you happy?”
“I am dating Daniel, it has nothing to do with Mason. Please don’t confuse the two,” said Veronica.
“What do you mean it’s not a big deal? Mason has been staying with our family for so many years. If you want to become the Reed family’s Mason grandma in the future, it will be an easy thing to do!”
Archer blurted out his wishful thinking that he had been planning for so many years in a moment of urgency.
Veronica looked embarrassed and said, “Mason is my younger brother!”
“You’re not even related by blood!” said Archer, then he turned to Daniel and warned him, “Don’t even think about aiming too high, you’re punching above your weight. Look at yourself, you’re not even close to being good enough for my daughter!”
Even though Daniel initially wanted to show respect towards Archer, his expression turned extremely unpleasant at this moment. If Archer wasn’t Veronica’s father, he might have impulsively thrown a punch already.
Mrs. Cross pulled herself over and looked coldly at the Barlow family. “Swan, what kind of swan is your daughter? If you continue to insult people like this, I will call the police!”
“Go ahead, call the police if you dare!” Archer said angrily, even shaking his fist at the old Mrs. Cross.
Daniel was afraid that Archer might actually hit his own. mother, so he quickly stepped forward and grabbed Archer.
As a result, when Rosalind saw what was happening, she thought her husband was going to be hit, so she reached out and hit Archer. Then, the elderly Mrs. Cross also joined the fight. After that, the elderly
Mr. Cross and Archer also started fighting.
On site, everything suddenly became chaotic, and soon after, a group of people were taken to the police station.
Veronica never imagined that her relationship would lead to both sides being taken to the police station. All she did was fall in love with someone, so why did things end up like this?!
And, with all the trouble in their family today, can she and Daniel really continue their relationship?
At the police station, the two families have been temporarily separated and are undergoing separate mediation sessions.
Veronica felt a bit suffocated in the mediation room, so she made an excuse to go to the restroom and temporarily left the mediation room.
After she walked out, she unexpectedly saw that the door of another mediation room was half open.
Inside the room, the old Mr. Cross was saying to Daniel, “You must break up, and break up immediately! Even if this girl is really a good girl as you say, who can bear such a family? Moreover, her family looks down on you!”
These words, falling into Veronica’s ears, were so harsh.
But she knew that all of this was caused by her own family!
She walked over to the chairs in the hallway and sat down, feeling extremely exhausted. Will she really break up with
Daniel? They both felt good about each other, but they were breaking up because of their families.
She had only seen this kind of plot in TV dramas before, but she never thought that one day it would happen to her!
Veronica lowered her head, her eyes filled with bitterness, as if tears were about to burst out.
Just then, a shadow fell over her followed by a pair of
These were… Mason’s sneakers!
Veronica looked up in surprise and saw Mason standing in
“Little… Mason…” Her nose felt sour and tears streamed down her face.
Mason crouched down and gently wiped away the tears on Veronica’s face. “It’s okay, Veronica. I’m here. No matter what happens, I’ll be by your side.!”
No matter what happens?
Veronica was stunned. Just a moment ago, her heart was lost and confused, but upon seeing Mason, she inexplicably felt at ease.
He wiped away her tears little by little and asked suddenly, “What are Veronica’s plans?”
“What’s the plan?” Veronica asked anxiously.
“Are you planning to break up with Mr. Cross?” asked Mason.
Veronica murmured, “I…I don’t want to break up, but I don’t know what to do!”
What will happen between her and Daniel now that the two families have already had such a big fight?
Mason’s eyelashes trembled slightly, and he lowered his gaze, hiding the fleeting sadness in his eyes.
“Is that so? Then let’s not break up,” he said in a soft voice.
“What?” Veronica stared at the person in front of her, feeling a bit confused and unable to react for a moment.
“I said, let’s just not break up,” Mason said. “If Veronica doesn’t want to break up, then let’s not break up.”
“But..”
“I’ll take care of it for Veronica,” Mason said, standing up and walking towards the mediation room on the Barlow family’s side.
Veronica quickly followed along.
As soon as Archer and Rosalind saw Mason come in, their expressions changed. Archer seemed to be showing loyalty and said, “Mason, I will break up with
Veronica and that guy.
Please don’t mind.”
“Yeah, Mason, when are you moving back in? Veronica really misses you, and our whole family wants you back,” Rosalind added.
Mason gave a cold glance at the Barlow couple, causing them to immediately shut their mouths.
As Mason grew older, the Barlow couple felt more and more pressure every time they were coldly stared at by him. It was as if they were being seen through.
He is clearly in front of them, but he is still just a young boy!
