âHuh?â She was taken aback, and then suddenly remembered that he had previously thrown the ointment Daniel gave her, which was the same as this ointment.
Her expression let him know that he had guessed correctly!
âIt seems that you prefer to use the ointment given by Daniel. Do you like Daniel that much?â He approached her again and asked.
âI-â Even if she really likes Daniel, it may only be 3 points, but now in his mouth, it seems like itâs worth 10 points.
His hand took the ointment directly from her hand.
âMason, what are you doing?â She urgently wanted to take back the ointment, but now he was half a head taller than her, and his agility was much more flexible than hers. She couldnât get the ointment back at all.
âI donât want you to use his ointment,â said Mason, as he held the ointment in his hand and suddenly closed his hand, squeezing the ointment in his palm.
In just a moment, the ointment from the tube flowed out of his fingers, indicating that he had accidentally squeezed the tube and caused it to burst âWhy canât I do this?â he asked back with a cold tone. âIf I do this, Veronica wonât be able to use this ointment anymore.â
In an instant, she felt a chilling sensation.
Itâs like⦠once something doesnât meet his expectations, he chooses to destroy it.
He made her suddenly feel a sense of unfamiliarity.
Even though they used to have some disagreements, she never felt this sense of unfamiliarity before. And now, she doesnât know what to say to him!
Is this unfamiliar feeling because he has grown up?
He is no longer the little brother who always followed her and listened to her, but the second son of the Reed family!
Veronica and Mason are in a cold war. Since Mason destroyed that ointment, Veronica hasnât spoken to him.
And Mason, unusually, hasnât actively sought reconciliation.
The two of them are just cold to each other.
However, the Barlow family members have keenly sensed this.
When Archer had a chance, he said to Veronica, âWhatâs going on between you and Mason? I warn you, if you make Mason angry and leave the Barlow family, I wonât spare you!â
âAnd then? Are you going to slap me like last time?â Veronica retorted.
Archer paused for a moment and then said, âAnyway, you need to quickly appease Mason for me!â
When Veronica heard the word âinterfereâ, she felt a bitter taste in her mouth. âMason is my brother, and I will handle things between us on my own. I donât need you to âguideâ me, Dad.â
âYou⦠Have your wings grown stronger? Do you think that leaving the Reed family makes you something special? Have you ever thought about why you can live in such a house, have luxury cars to pick you up, teachers who treat you well at school, and people calling you Miss He with respect?â Archer said unkindly.
Even if her father didnât say it, Veronica knew very well why.
âDad, have you ever considered the fact that Mason is the second son of the Reed family while youâre using him?â
Veronica asked.
âWhat do you mean?â Archer stared at his daughter.
