He sat on the edge of the bed, gazing at her. âVeronica, they say that when people are in the most dangerous situations, they think of the people they care about the most. Who do you think of when youâre in danger?â
âHuh?â Veronica was taken aback and almost choked on her saliva.
When she was in the most dangerous situations, who did she think of? She looked at the beautiful face in front of her. The words that she could have said openly and honestly suddenly became difficult to utter!
What was wrong with her? Even if she said she thought of him, wouldnât that mean he was the person she cared about the most? So what was the problem?
She didnât know why, but when faced with his gaze, her heart raced unusually fast, as if something she didnât want to change was slowly changing.
âIâ¦I thought of my mother!â Veronica said with dry lips.
âYour mother?â Mason was taken aback.
âYeah, I thought of my mother because when I was in danger as a child, my mother protected me,â she said, but only she understood that she was lying!
As for why she had to tell this lie, even she didnât understand it at the moment.
A hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes, but he didnât say anything more.
Veronica quickly closed her eyes, not wanting to look at Masonâs face anymore.
Mason looked at the person lying on the bed for a long time before raising his hand and gently stroking her bangs. âVeronica, why wasnât I the one you thought of back then?â
The person on the bed remained still, as if sleeping, with her eyes closed.
After a while, Mason withdrew his hand and sat quietly by her bedside, letting time pass by.
When Veronica woke up the next day, she saw that Mason was no longer in the room and couldnât help but breathe a sigh of relief.
www Last night, after she closed her eyes, she didnât actually fall asleep. She also heard what he said, but didnât know how to respond, so she continued to pretend to be asleep.
Does Mason still have feelings for her�
As soon as she thought of that possibility, she instinctively resisted it.
To her, he had always been a younger brother and a family member. Even though they were not related by blood, this concept had become deeply ingrained in her mind.
Therefore, she couldnât even imagine what would happen if she changed her relationship with him!
Moreover, in her opinion, his feelings towards her were just a childish obsession because she was the person he had spent the most time with since childhood.
In the future, when he meets more people and grows up, his feelings will also change.
Just like a child who is extremely attached to their favorite toy and refuses to lend it to other children, but when they grow up, they will realize that it was just a toy.
