A few days later in the evening, when she returned home, she found her father, stepmother, and younger brother sitting in the living room with serious expressions.
As soon as he saw her return, her father fixed her with a cold, unwavering stare.
âDad? Whatâs wrong?â asked Veronica.
âAre you dating any of the boys from school?â Archer asked sharply.
Veronica was surprised, âDad, how comeâ¦?â
âHow do I know? Your younger brother saw that guy walk you home, and I even went out of my way to check the surveillance footage from nearby stores. Turns out that guy has been walking you home almost every day! So, whatâs the deal between you two? Have you slept together?â
Veronicaâs face turned red, she never expected her father to suddenly say such a thing.
âOf course⦠there isnât any!â she said indignantly, feeling embarrassed.
Archer and Rosalind breathed a sigh of relief. Archer pointed immediately and stop seeing him! I knew something was up when Mason didnât come back to stay with us recently. Itâs all because of this!â
Veronica said, âDad, Mason is staying with the Reed family. It has nothing to do with me dating Daniel.
Daniel and I havenât done anything wrong. Why do we have to break up?â
âWhat do you mean you havenât done anything wrong? Youâre still a student, and dating is a mistake!
Anyway, you better break up right away, or I wonât forgive you!â Archer said fiercely.
Veronica said, âI wonât break up. I donât think I did anything wrong!â
âYouâ¦youâ¦â Archer was so angry that his fingers were trembling.
Rosalind quickly placed her hand on her husbandâs chest and said to Veronica, âVeronica, just listen to your father. Do you really want to make him sick with anger?â
Veronica clenched her teeth tightly, but she didnât admit her mistake.
However, what happened next completely exceeded Veronicaâs expectations. She thought her father would at most pressure her, but she didnât expect him to go directly to the Cross family.
âSis, Mom and Dad went to the Cross family. It seems like they want you to break up with your boyfriend! Iâve given you a heads up, so remember to say some good things about me in front of Mason in the future!â Lionel said on the phone.
After the phone call ended, Veronica looked at Daniel with a confused expression.
âWhatâs wrong?â asked Daniel.
Veronica said, âIt seems like my dad and stepmother went to your house!â
Danielâs face slightly changed, âDo they know weâre dating?â
âWell, before, they didnât approve of us dating and wanted me to break up with you. I didnât agree, but I didnât expect them to go to your house,â said Veronica.
After all, it was the first time she had encountered such a situation, so for a moment, she was a bit confused.
âIâll go back to my house first and take a look,â said Daniel.
âIâll go too!â Veronica quickly added. After all, this matter was related to her and she couldnât let Daniel face it alone.
Daniel heard the words, thought for a moment, nodded and said, âOkay!â
The two of them hurriedly made their way to the Cross family.
On the way to the Cross family, Daniel received a call from his father asking him to come back as soon as possible.
