“Since Veronica wants to date Daniel, let them date without forcing them to break up,” Mason spoke up.
The Barlow couple were stunned when they heard the news.
Archer was even more surprised and said, “Mason… Are you saying that you want them to continue dating?”
“Right,” Mason said, “everything should be based on
Veronica’s wishes. If Veronica doesn’t want to break up, then no one can make her break up!”
Veronica stared at Mason in a daze. Her little brother, who had always been protected by her, had now started to protect her and shield her from all the storms.
Fifteen minutes later, in another mediation room, the Barlow family apologized to the Cross family and warmly expressed that they would never interfere with the relationship between the two children in the future.
When the Cross family learned that the handsome young man who had just appeared was the second son of the famous Reed family in Emerald City, their faces were filled with uncontrollable surprise.
The Reed family, a wealthy and influential family that they could only look up to, now had their second son appearing in front of them, almost unreal.
“So, let’s end this matter here,” Mason said, the youngest person present, but he seemed to be in charge of the situation.
“Okay, then…let’s just leave it at that” the old Mr. Cross said agreed.
And so, the mediation ended just like that.
After leaving the police station, Mason was about to get into his car when Archer urgently said, “Hey,
Mason, why don’t you come back with us? It’s not the same if you don’t go home.”
“Not go home?” Mason’s eyes flickered. “The Reed family is my home. I live there every day.”
Archer’s face suddenly became awkward.
Veronica stepped forward and said, “Mason, thank you so much for today.”
Mason raised his hand and gently touched Veronica’s swollen eyes. “I don’t like seeing Veronica cry, so please don’t cry anymore in the future.”
“Okay,” Veronica replied.
Mason got into his car and drove away.
The Barlow family then got into another car, and Veronica could only wave goodbye to Daniel.
At this moment, the Cross couple looked serious. When they were in the car, the old Mr. Cross asked his son, “What’s the relationship between the Barlow family and the Reed family?
Why did Mason from the Reed family call your girlfriend?”
Daniel then told his parents what he knew about Mason and the Barlow family.
After listening, the old Mr. Cross appeared to be deep in thought. “Anyway, you should continue to date your girlfriend and not offend her. After all, the Barlow family and the Reed family have a relationship.”
“Dad!” Daniel frowned and said, “I like Veronica, and it has nothing to do with her family or the Reed family. When you say that, it seems like I’m only dating Veronica because of the Reed family.”
In short, since Mr. Mason from the Reed family has a good relationship with your girlfriend, you should also try to interact with him more often and build a good relationship. If you can establish a connection with the Reed family, do you know how many years of struggle you can save in the future? This is what old Mr. Cross continued to say.
“Dad!” Daniel said discontentedly.
“Okay, okay, just listen to your dad. Your dad wants what’s best for your future,” said Mrs. Cross, the elderly woman standing nearby.
Daniel saw his parents united and didn’t say anything anymore. At this point, there was no point in saying anything more.
didn’t expect Mason to agree with him and Veronica not breaking up.
However, it was only today that he truly felt the power of Mason’s aristocratic identity.
The two families, who were already on edge, surprisingly reconciled because of a few words from Mason! Is this the power of the wealthy? It’s truly hard to know what to say
In the following days, everything was calm and peaceful.
MasonGrace still lives with the Reed family, and Veronica and
Daniel’s relationship is still ongoing.
Veronica asked Mason if he planned to live with the Reed family forever, but Mason never gave her a direct answer. He only said, “When Veronica needs me in the future, I will naturally go back to live with the Barlow family.”
Veronica felt that Mason’s tone was strange when he said these words.
When does he need it?
One year has passed quickly. During this year, rumors about Veronica and Mason have stopped because of Veronica’s relationship with Daniel. At most, there are only rumors about with the Deed family every day like they did at school. Veronica didn’t want to bother Mason by going to the Reed House too often, so they only greeted each other online and chatted for a while every day.
As for Daniel, during winter break, he often invited her to hang out.
“By the way, how did your family celebrate the New Year these past few days?” asked Daniel.
“On New Year’s Eve, we just stay at home. But on the first day of the Lunar New Year, we have to go to the Reed family’s house to pay our respects. And for the following days…”
Veronica paused for a moment.
In the following days, she went with the Reed family to visit other families for the New Year. Mason always liked to stick with her, so if she didn’t go, Mason wouldn’t go either.
So unconsciously, this pattern became established.
And this year… it probably won’t happen, Veronica thought to herself.
No one can’t live without someone else!
Just like how Mason used to cling to her before, but as they grew up, he eventually stopped clinging to her. He has even been living with the Reed family for a year now.
“What’s happening in the next few days?” Daniel asked.
“Not much,” said Veronica. But when she said this, she felt a hollow feeling in her heart.
“Then in the following days, let’s schedule a time to go mountain climbing and also visit some temples. On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, we can even worship the God of
Wealth!” said Daniel.
Veronica couldn’t help but laugh, “Do you want to worship the
God of Wealth? When did you become so superstitious?”
“Anyway, saying goodbye is not a big deal. Besides, if I become rich in the future, I can make your life better!”
The future? Veronica blushed, thinking that’s too far away to consider…
On the day of New Year, the Barlow family of three celebrated at home. The Archer couple were discussing how to properly flatter the Reed family and Mason when they visit them on the first day of the new year.
Veronica felt a sense of excitement at the thought of seeing
Mason tomorrow at the Reed family’s place.
When I can’t see Mason, I miss him a lot.
The next day, Veronica finally met Mason.
Mason, dressed in a black suit, looks different from his usual self. In the past year, he has grown taller, reaching almost 180cm. His cold and distant demeanor also attracts many girls.
Veronica knows that Mason is already the most admired boy among the girls in school, and there are also many girls from other schools who come to their school just to catch a glimpse of him.
Today, I went to visit the Reed family for the New Year. There were also many relatives of the Reed family present. However, those relatives who had previously met people from the Barlow family would come over and try to flatter them.
However, today the attitude towards the Barlow family is very cold.
Veronica naturally understands the reason behind it. After all, Mason has been living with the Reed family for a year now. Unless there are any special circumstances in the future, he will probably continue to live with them.
The Barlow family was just a passing scenery in his life.
“What’s wrong with Veronica, is she uncomfortable?” Mason walked up to Veronica and asked.
“Um…I feel like there are a lot of people here,” Veronica awkwardly chuckled. But what really made her uncomfortable were the looks she was getting from the Reed family’s relatives in the living room.
Sympathy, pity, mockery… It’s like watching a clown.
“Then I’ll accompany Veronica for a walk outside,” said Mason.
Although it is said to be outside, it is still within the boundaries of the Reed House. After all, the Reed House is quite large, with pavilions, towers, corridors, and waterside pavilions, covering a wide area.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Veronica. Veronica, have you missed me?” Mason suddenly asked.
“Of course I have,” replied Veronica.
“But you thought of me, yet you didn’t come to find me at the
Reed family,” Mason said.
Veronica was stunned, his words hit her face like a piston.
you know what? Many people say that I look more like my grandfather. The older I get, the more I resemble him. Even my father sometimes stares at me in amazement.”
“Really?” said Veronica. She wasn’t a member of the Reed family, so she had never been inside their ancestral hall or seen a photo of their grandfather.
However, if Mason is really like his grandfather, then his grandfather must have been a very handsome man.
“However, my grandfather didn’t have a good ending,” Mason’s voice continued, “He died because my grandmother left him, and he couldn’t survive. He froze to death in the icy and snowy wilderness.”
Veronica was startled, and her heart suddenly contracted strongly.
This is the first time he has heard from his own mouth about the reason for his grandfather’s passing.
I never imagined that it would end up like this, with such a tragic death!
“So, I wonder if I’ll also have an unfortunate ending in the future,” Mason said softly.
“I don’t believe that!” Veronica quickly denied, “You will definitely have a good outcome in the future, there won’t be happening to you, it will be a very good outcome!”
As she spoke, she pulled him aside and said, “Quickly ‘spit, spit, spit’ and pretend you never said that.”
After all, it’s not auspicious to say such things during the New Year.
Her anxious appearance seemed to amuse him a little.
After he spat out a “pui pui pui” as she instructed, he gazed at her steadily and asked, “So, Veronica also believes that my future will be good, right?”
