âBut isnât Veronica Masonâs sister? Even if theyâre not related by blood, Mason has been living with the Barlow family for so many years and has always called Veronica âsisterâ. If Veronica asks Mason for help, he will surely agree,â said the elderly Mr.
Cross.
Daniel laughed, âPromise what? Promise to help us pay off our debts? Thatâs impossible!â
âOf course, we canât mention the debt issue. Letâs just say that we have relatives who supply furniture and we want to discuss business with the Reed family. We just need Veronicaâs help to make the connection,â said Mr. Cross urgently.
Daniel found his fatherâs words laughable. After all, Veronica and Mason were just high school students. Could they really have such a big influence on the business?
âDaniel, you must save your father! If we canât pay back this money, Iâll end up in jail. The amount is so large that I might even get a life sentence! Do you want to never see your father again?â pleaded Mr.
Cross.
The old Mrs. Cross, who was crying before, now looked at her son with tears in her eyes and said, âDaniel, regardless of whether things will work out or not, go and plead with Lit still doesnât work Looking at his parentsâ expression, Daniel couldnât bring himself to refuse.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, âOkay, Iâll give it a try!â
He used to believe that love was just about two people loving each other, but now it seems like there are too many other factors involved.
If Zixi really helped him, is he using Veronica?
Can he and Veronica still have a future together?
At this moment, Daniel is extremely confused.
The fifth day of the lunar new year was the day that Daniel and Veronica had agreed to meet.
When Veronica arrived, Daniel could tell that she had dressed up for the occasion.
She looked especially beautiful today, but there was a hint of weariness and sadness in her expression.
âWhatâs wrong? Is there something thatâs bothering you?â
Daniel asked.
âItâs nothing, just these past few days, I donât know why, but I keep thinking about things from when Mason and I, were kids, and then I feel like nowâ¦â
She hesitated and didnât finish her sentence.
âWhat about now?â he asked, pressing her for an answer.
âItâs nothing,â Veronica pursed her lips. The old her used to think she understood Mason well, but now sheâs finding it harder and harder to read him.
She doesnât understand what heâs thinking, and doesnât know his likes and dislikes!
Daniel looked at Veronicaâs expression and hesitated. âDid you have a disagreement with him before?â
âItâs not a disagreement, I just feel like I shouldnât rely on him so much in the future. In the past, my family always relied on our relationship with him to make some money, but we canât do that anymore! I just want to be a simple sister to Mason!â
Danielâs body stiffened, feeling like the speech he had prepared for today was stuck in his throat.
Veronica doesnât even want the Barlow family to use Mason anymore, so what about his relationship with them? The so-called relatives of his family want to do business with Reed Group, and he has to ask Veronica to talk to Mason about it⦠how can he even say it out loud!
As they talked, the two of them had already arrived at the
