Chapter 3442: Chapter 3444

“I…” Veronica was about to answer when a hand suddenly grabbed hers. “Veronica, the bill has been paid. Do you want to go home?”

Veronica looked up at Mason, who was holding her hand. Her face turned red and she spoke with a slightly breathless voice, “So soon?”

“How slow would it be otherwise? There’s no queue at the cashier,” Mason said.

“That…” She hesitated and looked at Daniel.

Daniel saw the situation and said to Veronica, “I hope you can think about what I just said and give me an answer, is that okay?”

Veronica’s face blushed again, and after a moment, she quietly responded with a small voice.

Mason glanced at Veronica’s expression, then his gaze fell on Daniel’s face.

Two boys looked at each other, and after a moment, Mason said to Veronica, “Veronica, let’s go.”

“Oh. okay then…” She looked at Daniel. “Well, goodbye.”

After parting ways at the bookstore, Daniel walked towards the bus stop. He liked Veronica, but he hadn’t planned on confessing so soon.

Perhaps it was because of Mason’s words today that he made the impulsive decision, but he didn’t regret it.

Even if Mason was the second son of the Reed family, it didn’t matter as long as Veronica liked him. He would try his best to be with her.

However, at this moment, Daniel didn’t know how ridiculous his idea was.

When Veronica and Mason were on their way back, they didn’t take the subway. The Reed family’s car was already parked at the bookstore’s entrance.

As they got into the car, Mason casually asked, “What were Mr. Cross and Veronica talking about just now? It seemed like a lot of people were looking at you guys in the bookstore.”

Veronica’s face turned red again, “N-nothing.”

“Is that so?” Mason said calmly, not revealing anything. “Then what is it that Mr. Cross wants Veronica to consider?”

“I’ll tell you later…,” Veronica said, not wanting to make up another lie to deceive him, but also feeling embarrassed to tell the truth.

After all, it seems like this is the first time she has been publicly confessed to, and the person doing the confessing is a senior she has a crush on.

“Okay, then Veronica, you must definitely tell me in the future,”

said Mason.

That night, Veronica had trouble sleeping as she kept thinking about Daniel’s confession. The next day, she saw Daniel again at school.

Daniel greeted her as usual, but before leaving, he reminded Veronica, “Don’t forget about the thing you promised me to consider carefully!”

Veronica blushed slightly and shyly lowered her head.

In the following days, she did see Daniel every day, but he didn’t push her and seemed to give her enough time to think.

On that day, she was cleaning the area around the playground as the school was conducting a major cleaning operation. Her class was responsible for cleaning that particular area.

Veronica and a few other classmates divided up the cleaning tasks and got started right away.

Just as she was sweeping the fallen leaves, someone suddenly rushed towards her and pushed her hard with their hand.

Veronica fell to the ground unexpectedly and felt a sharp pain in her ankle.
