At that moment, a voice sounded, âYouâve been waiting for a while.â
Veronica snapped out of it and only saw Daniel walking over with a tray in his hands.
âAh, I didnât wait very long,â said Veronica.
âHere you go, this is the B combo you wanted,â said Daniel as he placed a B combo in front of Veronica and sat down. âWhat were you thinking just now?â
âNot much, just thinking if this counts as a dateâ¦â Veronica blurted out, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized something was off. Her face turned bright red. âIâ¦I didnât mean it like that, I justâ¦â
Danielâs face also turned red, but he confidently said, âItâs a date!â
Veronica was surprised and looked at Daniel in a daze.
Daniel scratched his head awkwardly, âOf course, itâs just for me.
You agreed to come out with me today, and Iâm happy. I hope today can be considered a date.â
Veronica blushed and lowered her head, burying herself in her lunch.
Daniel smiled and ate lunch with her.
After finishing their meal, Daniel checked the time and said, âShall we go to the square later? There are usually street performances on weekends.â
âOkay,â Veronica replied.
The two of them left the mall and headed towards the nearby square.
Suddenly, an electric scooter swerved to avoid a pedestrian and headed towards Daniel and Veronica.
Veronica instinctively tried to dodge, but the scooter was moving too fast. She closed her eyes, thinking it was going to hit her.
At that moment, a force suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her to the side.
Suddenly, she ran into a wide embrace, while the electric bike crashed into the green area behind her.
Veronica was breathing heavily, still in shock. She heard Danielâs concerned voice in her ear, âAre you okay? Did the car hit you?â
Veronica realized that it was Daniel who had saved her earlier by holding onto her, allowing her to escape danger. Now, she found herself completely enveloped in Danielâs embrace.
âThankâ¦thank you, Iâm fine. The car didnât hit me,â she said, her face slightly blushing as she tried to pull away from his embrace.
âGreat, Iâm so glad youâre okay!â exclaimed Daniel as he hugged Veronica tightly with excitement.
Her body stiffened, and her hands were placed between her and his chest. At this moment, she could have pushed him away, but she didnât.
I canât express my feelings at this moment, but⦠she knows that she doesnât really want to push him away, to push away this big guy with a bright smile.
Veronica and Daniel, at this moment, did not notice that a car was parked nearby. Inside the car, Mason was sitting in the back seat, watching the scene through the window.
This scene made him feel extremely uncomfortable, and once again he heard Jasperâs words in his ear, âIf a girl is willing to risk getting hurt or even hit in order to protect another guy, it means she likes him.â
So⦠does Sister really like Daniel?
