Chapter 3535: Chapter 3537

Veronica got on the car and saw Grace sitting in the back seat.

“Auntie Grace,” said Veronica.

“I heard that you’ve been living alone in your old house before moving to your current one,” Grace said.

“Yes,” she replied.

“Let me take you there,” Grace said, instructing the driver in the front seat.

The car slowly left the school.

“Why did you leave your home to live in your old house?”

Grace asked.

“Why do you want to leave home and live in the old house?”

Grace asked.

“I feel it’s quieter over there. Besides, I’m already grown up now, so it’s okay for me to live alone. And when my mom passed away, she left me a bank account with some money in it, so my living expenses won’t be a problem,” Veronica said.

Grace looked at the girl in front of her and felt like she had changed again, as if she had grown up a lot overnight.

However, sometimes a person’s sudden growth is often accompanied by hardships and pain.

Thinking of this, Grace felt even more heartbroken for the girl in front of her.

Arriving at Veronica’s place, Grace looked around the old house. It was a 60-square-meter house with two bedrooms and a living room. It was not bad for one person to live in, but the decoration inside the house was over a decade old and quite outdated.

“Veronica, I came to see you today to tell you that even though Mason is not with you now, I am still your Auntie Grace. If you have any difficulties, feel free to come to me,” Grace said.

Veronica was stunned and looked at Grace with a dazed expression.

Grace rubbed Veronica’s head and said, “I am grateful for your protection of Mason in the past. I didn’t expect him to go. abroad for hypnosis, but now… Anyway, I hope you are doing well. If you need me to intervene in your relationship with your family, just let me know.”

“No need,” Veronica interrupted Grace. “I know that my father and stepmother have done many bad things under the name of the Reed family. They have caused a lot of damage to the Reed family’s reputation. Therefore, the Reed family doesn’t need to do anything for the Barlow family anymore. I moved out, and I don’t want to go back to that house.”

After a pause, Veronica said seriously, “Auntie Grace, I also want to change my life and try to be independent.”

Seeing her seriousness, Grace sighed and said, “Okay, but you have to promise me that if you have any difficulties, you will come to me.”

“Okay,” Veronica nodded.

They chatted for a while longer, and just as Grace was about to leave, Veronica suddenly asked, “Auntie Grace, how is Mason doing now?”

Grace hesitated for a moment before slowly replying, “He’s still the same, rarely talking or socializing with others. But he plans to go to a foreign school after graduating from high school.”

“Really? Well, it’s understandable since he has a strong learning ability and attended a prestigious foreign school,”

Veronica tried to force a smile on her face, but at that moment, her throat felt bitter.

Tears streamed down her cheeks without her realizing it.

Pain spread from her chest to her whole body, silently reminding her that the distance between her and him would only grow larger in the future.
