“I know that Daniel contacted a law firm in Emerald City today and is probably planning to sue you.
Because this law firm has some connections with my family, they called my father, and my father told me. I’m sure Auntie Grace knows by now too,” William said.
Mason frowned. He didn’t want to involve his family in these matters, but now, even if Jasper didn’t say anything, his family would probably know.
And along with the incident at the hospital where he hit Daniel, they would all know.
“Jasper is really worried about you. You’re siblings, it’s only natural for her to worry about you,” William said.
“I know, I’ll talk to Jasper later,” Mason said. “As for breaking up with Veronica, it’s just that I’m tired and don’t want to continue the relationship anymore.”
“So even if Veronica dates someone else in the future, or even gets married and has children with someone else, you don’t mind?” William asked.
Mason’s gaze sharpened, and he seemed to be suppressing something in his chest as he said, “Since
I’ve chosen to break up, there’s nothing left to say.”
“Does Mason really not care? Or is it because he cares too much and is afraid, so he chose to break up?” William asked.
Mason’s body tensed up. “What are you talking about?!” he said.
“Are you afraid that you’ll suffer again for Veronica? Afraid that you won’t be able to bear the pain and hypnotize yourself again?” William continued.
Mason’s face became ugly, and his hands on the table kept tightening.
But William seemed oblivious and continued, “Is hypnosis really effective? Mason, you came back this time and reunited with Veronica, and you started dating her so quickly. That can only mean that you really love her. Even if you hypnotize yourself again, maybe you’ll still fall in love with her again in the future.”
“Have you said enough?” Mason said darkly.
“I just want to speak some truth to Mason. After all, I love Jasper and understand what it’s like to love someone. And…” William’s voice paused, “I’ve never really believed that hypnosis is effective. If you’re meant to love someone, you’ll love them.
Uncle Weiss hypnotized himself before, but in the end, he got back together with Auntie Corbyn. So…”
Mason stared at William as he said, “Hypnotizing emotions may just be self-deception!”
Mason fell silent, and he even forgot when William left.
Self-deception? Was his determined hypnosis, forgetting all the feelings between him and her, just a self-deception in the end?
But if it wasn’t, then why did he fall in love with Veronica again?
Could it be because…it was destined for him to fall in love with her?
When Mason returned to the Reed family, he saw that his parents were already at home and clearly waiting for him.
“Go to the study. Your mother wants to ask you something,” Jason Reed said.
Mason followed his parents into the study.
Grace looked at her second son and always felt that she owed Mason the most among her children.
When Mason was taken away by Secretary Wylie, she only knew a little about his life before the age of three from Secretary Wylie’s mouth, but even that caused her great pain.
Later, Mason’s life with the Barlow family was not good either. If it weren’t for Veronica protecting Mason at a young age, his childhood would have been even more difficult.
Afterwards, Mason stayed with the Barlow family for a long time, and after breaking with Veronica, he went abroad to study. It can be said that he spent very little time with the Reed family, As a mother, she hardly took care of this child, and sometimes didn’t even know where to start to be good to him.
“You put Daniel in the hospital?” Jason asked first.
“Yeah,” Mason replied.
“What happened? You’re not an impulsive person,” Jason said.
“Nothing, I just didn’t like him,” Mason said.
“If it was just that you didn’t like him, you would have been too lazy to bother with him. That day he took
Veronica to the hospital, and you went there and had a conflict. What did you say at the time? Was it related to Veronica or to the three of you back then?” Jason asked incisively.
Mason knew that his parents probably already knew what had happened.
“Mom and Dad, I don’t want to talk about this anymore. I don’t regret hitting Daniel that day. If he really wants to sue me, then let him suc me,” Mason said.
“You child…” Grace spoke up, “We just want to know what happened at the time.”
“It’s just that I haven’t been able to let go of the past, but from now on, I won’t be like this anymore,”
Mason said.
“What do you mean by ‘won’t be like this again’, do you have a plan?” Grace asked with concern.
“I plan to go back abroad, and not come back for at least two years,” Mason said. Two years should be enough time for him to calm down.
“Two years?” Grace was surprised. “But didn’t you just come back as an exchange student?”
“As long as I handle the procedures, I can go back to a foreign school. It’s not that complicated,” Mason said.
Suddenly, Jason asked, “What happened between you and Veronica?”
Mason’s body stiffened slightly at the question. “We broke up.”
“Broke up?” Grace was shocked. She had just found out that her son had gotten back together with
Veronica not long ago. How could they break up so soon?
Even Jason furrowed his brows at the answer. “You really broke up with her?”
“Yes,” Mason said.
“Don’t you regret it?” Jason asked again.
“There’s nothing to regret,” Mason said calmly.
Jason looked at his son’s indifferent expression and said, “Alright, you can go out first. I’ll take care of things with Daniel. If you really won’t regret it, then I won’t stop you from going abroad. But it will take at least two months to arrange.”
Mason was puzzled. “Why do I have to wait for two months?”
After all, he hoped to leave Emerald City as soon as possible, to escape this city with Veronica in it!
Escape…he suddenly realized. It was strange that he would use the word “escape”. Was he really afraid of staying in a city with Veronica?
Are you afraid that the deeper your feelings for her become, the more painful it will be?
Or are you afraid of something else?
“You went abroad for several years before, and finally returned to Emerald City. Now you plan to go abroad again. Shouldn’t you stay at home for a few more months and spend more time with your family? Do you know how much your mother missed you when you went abroad?” Jason said.
Mason looked at his worried mother and finally said in a deep voice, “I understand. I will leave in two months.”
After Mason left the study, Grace looked at her husband with a puzzled expression. “Why did you agree to Mason? He broke up with Veronica and suddenly said he wants to go abroad again. Why didn’t you try to persuade him?”
“You know your son’s personality. If I could persuade him, he wouldn’t have gone abroad to study in the first place,” Jason said. “Two months is also a period of calm for him. If the feelings between him and
Veronica are really deep enough, then things will surely turn around.”
“But what if things don’t turn around? What if he still insists on going abroad?” Grace said.
“Then it can only mean that their feelings are not deep enough,” Jason said. “This is also a test for them. After all, they are still young and will experience many things in life. If they can’t even this test, how can they stay together for a lifetime?”

Grace didn’t say anything more after hearing this. After all, her husband was right, and there were still two months left. Maybe there would be some changes between
Mason and Veronica.
After all, besides Veronica, Grace couldn’t imagine her son falling in love with any other woman in the future.
For him, Veronica was once his whole world.
Since the day Mason broke up with her, Veronica hadn’t seen him for the next few days. It was as if he had disappeared from her world.
However, even though she couldn’t see him, news about their relationship had spread throughout her school. Many people knew that she was the girlfriend of Mason from the Reed family.
She walked around campus and often encountered unfamiliar people pointing and whispering about her, making her feel like her breakup with Mason was unreal.
Or maybe the whole relationship with him was unreal, like a short-lived dream, and now it was time for her to wake up.
“What’s wrong with you? You’ve been absent-minded these days. Do you have something on your mind?” her friend Shirley asked.
Veronica forced a reply, “Just thinking about some things.”
“Is it about where you and your boyfriend are going to go on a date this weekend?” Shirley asked excitedly. “By the way, how do you and Mason usually go on dates? Is it like in TV dramas?”
“TV dramas?”
“Like going to a fancy restaurant, renting out a movie theater, or taking you to a mall and buying whatever you want. Or maybe taking you on a private yacht?” Shirley rattled off a bunch of scenarios she imagined.
Veronica’s previously troubled heart somehow felt a little better after hearing her friend say these things.
“It’s not as exaggerated as you think. It’s just like a normal person’s date,” Veronica said. Although
Mason could do all the things Shirley mentioned, they had never actually done them on their dates.
It was like they never even thought about it.
“Oh, that’s nice too! It looks pretty romantic in TV dramas, but sometimes it can be too much and uncomfortable,” Shirley muttered. “So what are you guys planning to do this weekend?”
Veronica’s eyes dimmed again. What weekend? She had no idea what she was going to do this weekend! She and Mason had already broken up, but she hadn’t told anyone around her.
It was like… as long as she didn’t say it, there was no real breakup between her and him.
“What’s wrong? Why aren’t you talking?” Shirley asked, pressing on.
Veronica smiled lightly and lifted the corners of her lips. “This weekend, I’m going to see him. After we meet, we’ll decide what to do together.”

Yes, she didn’t want to break up like this, so she went to see him again, tried again, and didn’t want to leave any regrets or pain like she did in the past!
She wanted to tell him how much she loved him!
