Chapter 3502: Chapter 3504

Looking at his son’s expression, Jason knew the answer. “So when do you plan on telling her? Once the trial begins, your appearance will require a reasonable explanation to the judge. This matter will eventually come to light.”

Mason remained silent, understanding his father’s words without a need to respond.

“When do you plan on telling her? You can’t possibly wait until the day of the trial,” Jason asked.

“I’ll tell her at the right time,” Mason replied.

“Then do it sooner rather than later. From my experience, the longer you keep something hidden, the bigger the reaction when the other person finds out. It’s better to be upfront from the beginning than to have them find out from someone else,” Jason advised.

Mason’s eyes flickered slightly, “Experience? Does that mean you’ve kept something from Mom before?”

Jason was frank, “Yes, when I was with your mother, I deliberately kept some things from her. I thought I could keep it hidden forever, that she would never find out. But when she learned the truth from someone else, I realized that all my assumptions were just my own self-

righteousness. If I had told her myself, maybe it would have hurt her less.”

Thinking back to what happened back then, Jason still felt scared, but he also felt fortunate that Grace’s love for him was deep enough when she found out the truth.

“I understand,” Mason said. He wouldn’t hurt Veronica, so even if he didn’t want to tell her about this, he would still do it!

For the next few days, Veronica recuperated at the Reed family’s home, and Mason was almost always by her side.

Even at night, when Veronica went to sleep, Mason stayed with her until she fell asleep before leaving.

Even Jasper couldn’t help but envy Veronica and said, “Veronica, Mason is so good to you. If Mason ever treats me like this, I would be so happy!”

Veronica felt a bit embarrassed, as Jasper was Mason’s biological sister. “Um…should I talk to Mason and ask him to treat you better?” she suggested.

Jasper quickly waved his hand. “No, if that happens, Mason’s kindness to me would only be because of your relationship with him, not because of me,” he explained. “But honestly, Mason has been treating me well lately. It’s much better than when we were kids, so I’m actually quite satisfied.””

As they talked, Jasper noticed the necklace hanging around Veronica’s neck. “Hey, isn’t that the necklace you used to attack the kidnapper back then?” he asked.

Veronica nodded. “Yeah, Mason took it back and cleaned it before giving it back to me. It really came in handy back then,” she said, gently touching the necklace.

Seeing Veronica’s expression, Jasper suddenly leaned in and whispered, “Veronica, do you have a little crush on my brother Mason?”

Jasper leaned in and whispered, “Veronica, do you have any feelings for my friend Mason?” as he looked at Veronica’s expression.

“Hmm?” Veronica paused, confused.

Jasper said hurriedly, “When I say ‘like’, I don’t mean the kind of liking you have for siblings. I mean the kind of liking you have for a boyfriend. You don’t have a boyfriend now, do you? So…would you consider me, Mason?”

Although Jasper hasn’t developed her own emotions yet, it doesn’t mean she can’t perceive the emotions of others.

Moreover, there are quite a few classmates in her own class who are in relationships, so she can understand Mason’s feelings to some extent. Besides, if it weren’t for Veronica’s guidance, she couldn’t even imagine who Mason would date in the future.
