Veronica was thinking of refusing, but Mason beat her to it and said, âOkay, then Iâll come watch the game with Veronica.â
Veronica stared at Mason in shock, her eyes filled with surprise.
Mason⦠wants to go watch Daniel play ball?!
âOkay, thatâs settled then,â Daniel smiled and said goodbye to the two before running off.
Veronica looked at Mason and asked, âWere you serious earlier? Are you really going to watch the game?â
âThatâs not what you said, Veronica. Do you mind if I spend more time with other people? Now, Iâm going to watch a game. Is that okay with you, Veronica?â said Mason.
This⦠is hope, but why does she have a strange feeling about it? Veronica said hesitantly, âBut donât you dislike Daniel?â
âBut he is Veronicaâs friend, and since he is your friend too, I will get along with him well. This is what you want, right?â He respected her wishes, as this was what she wanted.
In front of her, he would play the role of a good younger Krother things can never be the same as before.
He is just her younger brother, after all. Itâs just her self-deception.
And he wonât easily argue with her anymore. He will show her in his own way that he is the most indispensable person in her world!
âVeronica, whatever your hopes are, I will do them for you because you are my Veronica, the most important person to me.â
He spoke to her in this way.
And in that moment, her heartbeat suddenly became unusually intense!
On the weekend, Veronica and Mason went to watch Danielâs game together.
The game was held at the opposing schoolâs gym, and because they didnât want the Reed familyâs car to attract attention, Veronica chose to take the subway.
Mason didnât object to this.
As the two walked into the subway station and Veronica was but ask Mason again, âAre âOf course I am. I came here with you, Veronica. Is that not enough?â he replied.
âAnd what about Danielâ¦â
âIâve already said that heâs your friend, and Iâll get along with him just fine,â he said, his gaze falling on her face. âDonât you believe me, Veronica?â
âNo, itâs justâ¦â She hesitated for a moment before saying, âYou seem to have changed, and youâre not quite the same as before.â
He smiled lightly. âSo like this, Veronica doesnât like it?â
The smile on the corner of his lips softened his originally cold face.
She liked to see his smile. When he smiled, it gave people a pure feeling, as if this world had never been polluted, pure as white paper.
And this purity is something that many people have never had.
âWhatâs wrong, Veronica?â He looked at her somewhat absent-mindedly and couldnât help but ask.
She came back to her senses and quickly replied, âNothing, I just think you look really good when you smile.â
She shook her head. âA good smile has to come from the heart. You canât just smile whenever you want! Alright, letâs go!â She said, taking the initiative to hold his hand and walk towards the subway checkpoint.
