She also believed that his feelings for her were not something he could just let go of by saying so!
After all, he had been with her since he was five years old. Those years and feelings, even if he had been hypnotized before, would eventually be imprinted on his heart!
On the weekend, Veronica called Mason again, but as she suspected, the call didn’t go through.
It seems that he had blocked her number.
She could only call Jasper again, “Jasper, do you know where Mason is now?”
“Mason went to the school to handle his withdrawal procedures today,” Jasper replied.
Veronica was surprised, “He’s dropping out?”
“Yeah, he came to Stanford University as an exchange student. Now he’s dropping out and going abroad to continue his studies,” Jasper said.
Veronica felt her hand shaking as she held the phone, “He’s going abroad again?”
“But it’s okay, Mason has made an appointment with his parents to leave in two months,” Jasper said.
“Sister Veronica, did you and Mason really break up? Is there no chance to save it?”
Veronica tightly pursed her lips and after a while said, “Yes, we broke up, but…I will try to save it!”
Because she still loved Mason, and she didn’t believe that his ter 3796
feelings for her could disappear so quickly.
What does he mean by “tired”? She already explained the misunderstanding, but he still insists on breaking up. What is the real reason?
She wants to figure it all out.
“Greal, Sister Veronica, I believe you can do it. Mason can’t not love you. Breaking up with you was just a momentary impulse!” Jasper said. She didn’t want Mason to go abroad again. She asked Mason, and if he did, he didn’t plan to come back for at least two years.
She hoped that the family could meet frequently, rather than having someone absent every time they had a meal.
“I’m going to Stanford University to find him now,” Veronica said, and quickly ended the call.
On the bus to Stanford University, Veronica looked at the pendant on her phone. She had only bought this cat paw couple pendant not long ago, but the relationship between her and him seemed to be undergoing earth-shattering changes.
Now, this couple pendant still hung on her phone, and to her, it seemed more like a mockery.
But she didn’t want to take off this pendant no matter what, because as long as it was still hanging on her phone, it was as if she and Mason had not broken up.
At Stanford University, Veronica received a call from Jasper. Jasper helped her inquire about Mason’s current location and said that he went to the library after talking with the school leaders.
She was not a student at Stanford University, so she could only ask others along the way to find the location of the library.
Entering the library, she searched for a familiar figure.
Stanford University’s library was already very large, and with so many students, there were many people in the library. It was not easy to find one person among them.
However… Veronica found that it was easier to find Mason than she had imagined, because even if he was sandwiched in a group of people, she could still see him at a glance.
Is it because he is outstanding? So he is easily noticeable.
But when she saw him, he was looking down at his book and didn’t lift his head, making it impossible to see his face.
Or maybe it was because she loved him? Because she loved him so much, she remembered the contours of his body and all the details so clearly that she could easily spot him in the crowd.
As if sensing her gaze, he lifted his head and his beautiful black eyes met hers.
Veronica’s body stiffened and for a moment, she didn’t know how to react.
Mason, on the other hand, looked surprised for a moment, then furrowed his brow and put away his book before standing up.
Veronica watched as Mason walked towards her, and she became increasingly nervous. Just as he reached her, she gathered her courage and spoke up, “Mason, I…”
But at that moment, he brushed past her.
Veronica’s body stiffened again, suddenly feeling like he was treating her like a stranger.
It was like when he had hypnotized away their feelings in the past and she had gone to find him, only to be treated like this. If was as if everything between them was gone.
Could it be… that he had hypnotized her again?
Instinctively, she turned around and chased after him, grabbing his sleeve. “Did you… hypnotize us again these past few days?” Her lips trembled as she asked the question.
He replied expressionlessly, “Let go of me. I don’t want to talk to you.”
“I’m asking you, did you hypnotize me again?” She didn’t let go of his hand and stared straight into his eyes.
“Whether I did or not is none of your business. Don’t forget, we’ve already broken up,” Mason said.
“So, does breaking up mean you can erase everything that happened between us?” Veronica asked in return.
The two of them were standing in the hallway of the library, and their confrontation had already caught the attention of some people.
“What else can we do? Do we have to keep thinking about everything from the past after we break up?”
Mason said. “I don’t plan on being watched by people here, so you better let go quickly.”
“I came to find you today, not afraid of being watched,” Veronica said. “Unless you promise me to find a place to talk properly, I won’t let go.”
He pursed his thin lips and stared at her.
She lifted her chin, her face showing a determined look.
Her expression made him recall the similar look she had in his memory. Although those emotions had already faded away, why were the memories related to her still so vivid?
So vivid that he couldn’t forget even if he wanted to!
“Okay, I promise you,” Mason said.
Veronica finally let go, and the two of them walked out of the library. Mason asked, “Where do you want to talk?”
“My place,” she said.
Thinking about it, if there was a place where they wouldn’t be disturbed, her home was a good choice.
After all, she lived alone.
Mason didn’t say anything, he just walked towards the parking lot, and Veronica followed behind.
When they arrived at the parking lot and found Mason’s car, his old phone rang. He took out his phone from his pocket and answered the call.
“Okay, I got it. If the other party really wants to sue, then I can go to court… it doesn’t matter,” Mason said to the other end of the phone.
Veronica shuddered when she heard it. Sue? Go to court? Does it have something to do with Daniel?!
“Did Daniel sue you?” Veronica asked nervously.
“Yes,” Mason replied, putting away his phone and starting the car. The car slowly left the parking lot and headed towards Veronica’s residence.
There was silence in the car all the way, and Veronica’s mind was filled with thoughts of Daniel suing
Mason.
In theory, the Reed family should already know about Daniel being beaten by Mason and have definitely been in contact with Daniel to discuss compensation.
But now that Daniel is suing, does that mean they couldn’t agree on compensation? Or is it that Daniel doesn’t want compensation at all and is determined to make Mason pay price?
Thinking of this, she felt a sense of self-blame. If she hadn’t been taken to the hospital by Daniel that day, if she hadn’t asked Mason for help in the car, then none of this would have happened.
the
How can she get Daniel to withdraw the lawsuit? Does she have a way? Would it be useful for her to go see Daniel?
No, if she could persuade Daniel, then when she accompanied him for treatment after he was injured, she should have been able to persuade him.
Daniel has become stubborn and unreasonable. Such a person is impossible to persuade.
But Auntie Grace is a lawyer herself, she should have a way! At this moment, Veronica pinned her hopes on Grace.
When she came back to her senses, the car had already stopped downstairs at her apartment building.
“Get out,” Mason said coldly.
“Oh.” Veronica quickly unbuckled her seat belt, and the two got out of the car and walked towards the elevator.
When Veronica opened the door to her residence and entered with Mason, the feeling of loneliness in the one-room apartment seemed to have disappeared.
During these days after the breakup, whenever she was alone in the room, she felt an overwhelming sense of suffocating loneliness.
Even though she had lived alone in this house before dating him, she never felt this cold and lonely.
“Okay, what do you want to talk about? You can talk now,” Mason spoke up.
“Um… why don’t you sit on the couch first?” she said to him, as he stood by the entrance looking like he only wanted to stay for a moment and leave. But she didn’t want him to leave so skin.
Finally, he was willing to talk to her properly, and she wanted to make the most of this opportunity.
Mason hesitated for a moment, but eventually sat down on the couch as Veronica had hoped.
Veronica specially brewed a cup of tea and placed it in front of Mason. She knew he liked to drink plain tea, and she always made him tea whenever he came to her place.
Every time he sipped his tea, he looked like a painting.
But at this moment, although there was plain tea in front of him, he didn’t seem interested in drinking it.
His beautiful, narrow eyes just stared coldly at her. “What do you want to say?”
Veronica pursed her dry lips and gathered her courage. “Can we not break up?” she asked.
His pupils shrank almost imperceptibly. “I’ve already said it. I’m tired and don’t want to continue this relationship anymore.”
“Is it really that tiring to be with me?” she asked.
“Yes, it is,” he said. He always felt uneasy, even when she was by his side. Memories of the past flashed through his mind like a slideshow, but without any emotions. He remembered her expression when she said she wanted to date Daniel, her bright smile, her walks with Daniel on campus, her holding Daniel’s hand and standing in front of him… even later, when she fought
Although he had already been hypnotized and had forgotten that part of his emotions, the memory seemed to be even more vivid in his mind.
