Great? She looked up at him in surprise, but was stunned when she saw the smile on his lips.
He actually smiled?!
Although the smile was faint, it was beautiful, and it had been so long since she had seen him smile like that.
It made her nostalgic.
After finishing lunch, Veronica and Mason went to the movie theater upstairs.
Watching a movie together is something most couples do, althoughâ¦they werenât officially a couple yet.
âIs there any particular movie you want to see?â Veronica asked.
âNo,â Mason replied.
This answer was within her expectations, so Veronica said, âThen Iâll go buy the movie tickets.â
âIâll go buy it. What do you want to watch?â Mason said.
âThen⦠letâs watch âTrue Heartâ,â she said. Itâs a low-budget film that has recently received high praise, and she wanted to see it after reading good reviews.
Mason went to buy the movie tickets, while Veronica went to the other counter to buy drinks and popcorn.
As she was buying, she suddenly heard a voice, âSister Veronica!â
Veronica turned around and saw Jasper.
âJasper.â Veronica was surprised. Why does she keep running into unexpected people today?
âSister Veronica, are you here to watch a movie?â Jasper asked.
âYes,â Veronica replied, then looked at William standing next to Jasper. âAre you guys here to watch a movie too?â
âYes, Jasper and I came to watch a movie together today,â Jasper said.
William seemed to be deep in thought after hearing Veronicaâs âtooâ.
âBy the way, Sister Veronica, are you here alone or with friendsâ¦â Jasperâs words trailed off as he looked behind Veronica.
Veronica followed his gaze and saw that Mason was standing behind her.
âMason!â Mason looked shocked. âAre you guys⦠here to watch the movie together?â After all, Mason was holding two movie tickets in his hand.
âWhy not?â Mason asked back.
Jasper was suddenly at a loss for words. He looked at Mason and then at Veronica. What on earth was going on? Did she⦠miss something?
For a moment, a silent atmosphere enveloped the four of them.
It was William who broke the silence, âWhich movie are you guys watching?â
âThe Sincere Heart,â Veronica replied.
âSame here. Is it the same showing?â Jasper asked, looking at his friend Mason.
Mason pursed his lips, âThe showing in fifteen minutes.â
âWow, what a coincidence!â Jasper laughed, âToday, Mason, Sister Veronica, and I are watching a movie together. Did you guys plan to watch it together?â
âYes, on a date,â Mason said.
Jasper was shocked again, while Veronica laughed awkwardly, knowing how much impact Masonâs words would have on Jasper.
After all, their relationship had almost reached a freezing point before, and now such explosive information was revealed.
Thinking back to herself, she couldnât believe how much their relationship had changed so suddenly.
âA date?â Jasper was stunned, feeling wave after wave of shock.
Was Mason really on a date with Sister Veronica? What was their relationship now?!
She couldnât stop thinking about this question even as they entered the theater.
