Jasper still stood there in a daze until Lawrence left the studio.
This was their farewell.
She thought that by doing this, she could completely resolve her own emotional entanglements and let go of Lawrence completely.
But why does she now have a feeling that it can’t be completely cut off?
It’s like even though he’s leaving Emerald City, maybe years later, he will appear in front of her again, and then it will stir up some kind of storm.
A vague sense of unease lingered in her chest.
After a long while, Jasper took a deep breath and surveyed the studio.
She had never told Lawrence that this studio was originally prepared for him.
In her imagination, when she found him, he might still have a passion for music and become a musician who would need such a studio.
But the final result proved that she was just being sentimental.
Reality and imagination were ultimately different.
When Jasper walked out of the building, a figure caught her eye.
It wasn’t the driver, but William!
Jasper hurried over and asked, “Why are you here?”
“To pick you up,” William smiled slightly and asked, “Is it over?”
“Um…I think it’s over,” she hesitated.
“You think?” he raised an eyebrow.
“I don’t know why, but I always feel that maybe i will come back to Emerald City,” Jasper said.
It was as if Lawrence’s departure this time was only temporary.
“Even if he returns to Emerald City, I won’t let him harm you,” William held Jasper’s hand and said,
“Jasper, I will make myself strong enough at that time to help you eliminate all dangers.”
“I believe you,” Jasper replied.
Her William was always so gentle and considerate. When she was uneasy, he would give her enough sense of security.
The next day, Lawrence sat in the first-class cabin of the plane at the airport, waiting for takeoff.
He came to Emerald City with the intention of revenge, but what he wanted more was to see her.
gap
But when he really saw her, he realized that the between them was deeper than he thought.
He loved and hated her, not knowing what to do with this feeling.
As for her feelings towards him, it was only the childhood affection and guilt and regret.
But now, even these feelings were gone. She wanted to completely let him go from her heart.
Thinking of this, Lawrence smiled bitterly. It was his ow to go after Mason and Veronica, and now he would natu face her hatred, which he had already expected.
Perhaps the Reed family let him leave Emerald City this time because of their guilt towards him, so they didn’t take any action against him in secret.
After all, although there was no evidence to convict him legally, if the Reed family wanted to get rid of him in secret, it wouldn’t be difficult.
“Jasper, it’s not over between us,” Lawrence murmured, raising his hand and kissing his own palm.
As if he was kissing the lips that were pressed against his palm yesterday.
After the online buzz about Veronica and the Reed family died down, Veronica finally returned to her normal life and studies.
Meanwhile, Mason continued his studies at Stanford University.
Since Mason had recovered, Veronica moved back to her old apartment.
Although the Reed family tried to persuade her to stay, especially Jasper who was reluctant to see her go, Veronica felt that it was not appropriate to live with them for a long time since she and Mason were still in the dating stage.
Mason was happy to help Veronica move her luggage apartment, and he even brought his own luggage along.
“You’re not planning to live here too, are you?” Veronica widened her eyes as she looked at the two suitcases Mason brought.
“Hmm,” he replied simply.
“But isn’t that the same as cohabiting?” she asked.
He asked back, “Don’t you want to?”
Well… Veronica thought about it. After all, they had lived together for over a decade before, and she had been living with the Reed family during this time. She didn’t feel uncomfortable being under the same roof as him, but…
“Do your family members know that you’re going to live here?” she asked.
“Yes,” Mason replied.
“And what was their reaction?” She didn’t want them to think that she had kidnapped their son, brother, and brother-in-law!
“Why would they have any reaction?” Mason asked, puzzled.
Veronica rubbed her forehead, “Well, since they are now boyfriend and girlfriend and have a good relationship, it’s normal for them to live together.”
Although her small apartment has two rooms, Mason still put all his things in her room. In short, he planned to share a room with her.
Veronica had no objections to this. After all, they had sleeping on the same bed for a while.
Besides, they would get married sooner or later, so what difference did it make if they slept together a day earlier or later?!
However, after six months, Veronica found out that there was a difference.
That day, she and Shirley had just finished class and went to a restaurant near the school to eat.
Although her popularity had already declined, many people in the school still knew that she was dating the second son of the Reed family. Therefore, there was naturally more attention on her when she walked around the campus.
Some people tried to please her, while others made sarcastic remarks.
Veronica tried to ignore all of this as much as possible.
After finally finding an empty seat, they sat down.
However, not long after they sat down, several people walked over. When they saw Veronica and
Shirley sitting in the seats, their faces changed.
One of the girls came over and asked in a bad tone, “Why did you take our seats?!”
Veronica was stunned, “What do you mean by taking
When we came, the seats were empty.”
“But I left something there. You should know that this scat is mine!” the girl said unhappily.
The table where Veronica was eating was a six-person table. When she and Shirley came over, they saw a book on the table in front of one of the chairs. In school, this usually means that the seat is taken, so they didn’t sit in that chair.
“We didn’t take the chair you were occupying,” Veronica said.
“You’re being unreasonable. I’m occupying the whole table! I’ve even put my books on it. What’s the point of you sitting down?” the other person said.
Veronica frowned. “A book taking up the whole table, especially during peak dining hours, is a bit unreasonable.”
“What’s unreasonable about it? We have a big group, so we need the whole table!”
But Veronica looked and saw that only three girls holding trays had come up to them.
“There are only three of you.”
“There are more people coming. They’ll be here soon. Anyway, you’d better switch tables now and not eat here!” the other person said.
“Hey, who do you think you are?” Shirley said ang
“It’s your fault. You knew someone was already sitting here, but you still sat down to eat!” the other person accused.
“Is there a law that says if you put a book on a table, you have the exclusive right to use the whole table and others can’t use it?” Veronica spoke up. “These tables and chairs are for the restaurant’s public use. The restaurant never said you could use things to reserve seals.”
“Reserving seats with things is an established custom,” the girl said.
“Custom?” Veronica sneered. “Just because it’s a custom doesn’t mean it’s right. Besides, if you can occupy a whole table with just one book, can I occupy the whole restaurant with several books?”
The other girl’s face turned red. “You’re just being tricky!”
“I’ve made myself clear! Besides, we didn’t even sit where you put your books. There are empty seats, so if you want to sit, sit there. If not, then leave. We still need to eat.”
The girl was so angry that she trembled all over. She took a step forward and grabbed Veronica’s hand,
“Get up! Why are you eating at our seat?”
With this pull, the knife and fork in Veronica’s hand fell direct to the ground, and some of the food on the plate also splashed on her clothes.
“What are you doing!” Shirley suddenly stood up and shouted at the girl.
At this moment, two more boys walked over, “What’s going on?”
The girl who had a conflict with Veronica immediately complained, “These two girls took our seats. I have already put my books on the table, but they still shamelessly sat down!”
One of the boys said, “Forget it, you sit here, Cato Wit and I will go find another seat.”
“No, they have to leave!” The girl seemed to want to confront Veronica and insisted on not giving in.
“Why should we leave? Is this seat with your name on it? Did you buy it?” Shirley exclaimed indignantly.
Cato, who was called, was the girlfriend of the girl who had a dispute with Veronica and Shirley. When he saw his girlfriend looking so wronged, he immediately frowned and said to Veronica and Shirley,
“Okay, you can leave now with your food. Let’s pretend this never happened.”
