âItâs been too long, so you just had to see me?â Mason sneered. âBut I donât want to see you at all. You should understand that youâre not my Veronica anymore. We have no relationship between us.â
Veronicaâs face turned pale, and her hands hanging at her side anxiously tugged at her clothes.
Yes, she knew that they had no relationship anymore⦠but she always remembered the past between them, the misunderstandings she had of him, and the attachment he had for herâ¦
âIâ¦I understand now. Iâll be more careful in the future,â Veronica said with difficulty.
âGood that you understand. Donât appear in front of me again,â Mason said before turning and leaving.
Veronica hung her head, holding back the tears that threatened to spill. Yes, she understood. His attitude today made her realize once again that he had truly hypnotized away the feelings from their past.
Although she still remembered everything from their past, those feelings were no longer there!
To him, she was already someone completely unrelated!
Jasper didnât expect to come out looking for Mason and stumble upon this scene. And she certainly didnât expect Roger to suddenly appear by her side and witness it with her.
âIt seems that the Reed family is really cold-hearted. Even though you were once so close, you can still heartlessly cast someone aside when theyâre no longer useful,â Roger said mockingly.
Although he didnât spend much time with the Reed family and only saw Mason and Veronica a few times, he knew that they had a good relationship. Mason even lived with the Barlow family because of Veronica, not the Reed family.
âYou donât understand anything, so why make comments?â Jasper retorted.
âThen tell me, is there some hidden story behind this?â Roger asked.
Jasper pursed her lips and didnât explain. After all, this was between Veronica and Mason. âItâs not my place to say, and you donât need to know anything.â
Rogerâs sarcasm grew stronger. âOf course, youâre the high and mighty Reed family. Why would us ordinary people need to know about your family affairs?â
âThatâs not what I meant! This is between Mason and Veronicalâ Jasper said.
âI donât think I need to hear your explanation. People like you rich folks play with other peopleâs feelings so easily, itâs only natural, isnât it?â Roger said.
âYouââ Jasper glared at the other person and suddenly said, âDo you think Mason played with Veronicaâs feelings? Or do you think I played with your feelings?â
Rogerâs lips curled up slightly, as if he was agreeing with her statement.
