âWhatâs wrong, Mr. Cross? Do you have something to say?â asked Veronica.
âIs your affection for Mason really just brotherly love?â he asked.
Veronica was taken aback, then her expression changed. âIf itâs not a sibling relationship, what kind of relationship could it be? Do you also think, Mr. Cross, that Mason and I should be like those rumors that are circulating around school?â
âIâ¦â Daniel hesitated for a moment, seeming unsure of what to say.
And his silence made her think that he really thought that way. Suddenly, her heart sank. âSince Mr.
Cross thinks the same way, I have nothing to argue about. Our paths are not the same. Mason and I will leave first. Goodbye, Mr. Cross.!â
Veronica walked towards the direction of the cash register as she spoke.
Upon seeing this, Daniel hurriedly chased after Veronica and grabbed her wrist, stopping her in her tracks. âWait, Iâ¦I didnât mean it like that!â
âWhat does that mean?â Veronica asked. âTo me. Mason is Daniel looked at the person in front of him. Her eyes were clear and without any hint of guilt or concealment.
So, her feelings towards Mason are truly those of sibling affection.
However, Mason may not feel the same way about her!
âOkay, Mr. Cross, please let go. I need to go find Mason,â said Veronica.
Daniel hesitated, feeling that if he let go, he would surely regret it in the future.
He took a deep breath and then, as if summoning all his courage, he said loudly, âIâ¦I like you, Veronica. Would you be my girlfriend if youâre willing?â
With his confession, everyone around heard it and suddenly many peopleâs eyes turned towards them.
Veronica was stunned, her eyes widened in surprise as she looked at Daniel. She never expected that Daniel would publicly confess his feelings for her.
Some young people around them started cheering, âWow, this guy is really brave!â
âSay yes to him, come on!â
âIs public confession a trend these days?â
Veronicaâs face slowly turned red, showing shyness, embarrassment, and a hint of joy.
Daniel⦠likes her. This fact actually made her heart leap with joy. When she used to read shoujo manga, she had fantasized about what it would be like if she met someone she liked in the future.
And now, those fantasies seem to be turning into reality⦠except itâs happening in this kind of situation.
At this moment, there is a pair of eyes watching this scene not far away.
Masonâs face is full of coldness, and his fingers keep tightening the two books in his hand.
He didnât expect Daniel to suddenly confess like this, and what kind of answer will Veronica give him?
âDo you want to?â Danielâs gaze was burning, full of expectation as he looked at Veronica.
