âHow did you knowâ¦â
âI am your father, I naturally pay attention to everything about you, including the people you care about,â Jason said.
Although his second son did not live with them often and had less contact with them, Jasonâs concern for his child did not diminish.
Instead, because of his sonâs self-isolation, he would give more attention.
He knew that his wife felt the most indebted to their child who had been taken away by Secretary Wylie since childhood and had not grown up with his parents.
And Secretary Wylie raised the child in such a bloody and cruel way that from a young age, the childâs personality was difficult to integrate into normal society.
Even though Masonâs diagnosis doesnât classify as autism, he still doesnât enjoy socializing with others.
Over the years, Veronicaâs presence has become increasingly important. Jason knows that his second son cares about Veronica much more than anyone in the Reed family.
âI wonât let Daniel be with Veronica,â said Mason, because Veronica can only be with him.
âCan you do it? Or do we need to use force to keep them apart?â Jason asked. âWith the power of the Reed family, we can definitely keep them apart. However, if we do that, it might damage the relationship between you and Veronica.â
âSo we canât come on too strong, we have to approach it gently, right?â said Mason.
Jason smiled slightly and said, âIt seems that you have really grown up and become more understanding.â
âVeronica and Daniel are just starting out now, but in the future, they will definitely not be together,â he said with a determined look in his eyes.
Upon seeing this, Jasonâs previously worried heart settled down. It seemed that his son had his own ideas, so as a father, he naturally had to support him wholeheartedly.
âAnyway, if you need any help from home, just ask, okay? You are a member of the Reed family, the child of me and your mother! The Reed family will always be your support,â said Jason.
Upon hearing this, Mason looked steadily at his father and after a while, he said, âOkay, I understand.â
Family⦠If he didnât have much feeling towards his family when he was young, then over the years, he seems to be slowly getting used to them, getting used to the feeling of having siblings and parents.
If a family member is facing difficulties, one would naturally want to help. Is this not what it means to have a sense of responsibility towards oneâs family?
Although the sonâs response was very simple, Jason was very satisfied. âOkay, then rest well.â
When Jason returned to the room, Grace immediately approached him and asked, âWhat did you talk about with Mason in his room?â
âWe just talked about him and Veronica. Veronica has found someone she likes now, so Mason is probably feeling uncomfortable about it. Thatâs why he came back today,â said Jason.
Grace was surprised, âWhat, Veronica has someone she likes?â
âWell, thereâs a guy named Daniel in their school who is one grade higher than them,â said Jason.
âThat Masonâ¦â Graceâs face was full of worry. Although she knew that their relationship couldnât be forced, he was still her own son. Besides, she also knew that Masonâs feelings for Veronica had already surpassed the usual sibling relationship.
If this really blows up, who knows what kind of consequences it will cause!
