Because to her, he was no longer a little brother!
A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, as if he didnât expect her to say that.
âAnd alsoâ¦â She paused, reached out and held his face, âYou said you wanted to truly be in a relationship with me, Iâm actually very happy, really.â
As she finished speaking, she took the initiative to tiptoe and kissed his lips.
She thought that her greatest hope was to become a family with him, not as siblings, but in a more intimate relationship, to become a family and thenâ¦be together forever!
His eyelashes trembled slightly, his half-closed eyes looking at the face so close to him.
Is he happy? Is he really happy to be in a relationship with her?
Then what is this wave of emotions in his heart? Is he also happy like her when he heard her say this and kissed him like this?
Her kiss seemed to be slowly smoothing out the pain he had forgotten from the past.
Even, he couldnât help but wonder, if he hadnât chosen to have his memories hypnotized back then, would the time they spent apart have been much shorter?
So, could they have been like this a few years earlier?
He used to have feelings for her⦠If he hasnât forgotten, how would he feel hearing her say this now?
At this moment, he suddenly had this curiosity.
Shirley never expected to have dinner with the rumored Mason from the Reed family.
Although Shirley had already seen Mason at school that day, sitting face to face with him made her see him more clearly.
âMason, this is my good friend from college, Shirley.â Veronica made a simple introduction. âShirley, he isâ¦â
âI know, Mason Reed, your boyfriend!â Shirley smiled and said. She only said this because she wanted to have dinner with Mason. She and Veronica had agreed that if they both had boyfriends, they would bring them along for a meal to âevaluateâ them.
She didnât really expect to actually have dinner with Mason, but it became a reality.
âHello, Iâm Shirley.â Shirley said to Mason.
âHello.â Mason replied.
âAre you really dating Veronica? I heard youâve been together since childhood, but then you didnât contact each other for several years?â Shirley asked. After all, she had known Veronica for three years, but before that, Veronica had never mentioned Masonâs name.
Mason stared at Shirley with a slightly darkened face and didnât seem to have any intention of answering.
The scene was awkward and suffocating for a moment.
Veronica was about to intervene, but Shirley had already spoken first, âAre you and Veronica serious about your relationship?â
Mason squinted his eyes, and Shirley suddenly felt a chill run through her body. However, she still widened her eyes, waiting for his answer.
She was afraid that her friend would get hurt. Although Veronica seemed very strong, Shirley had seen her friend secretly cry before. Sometimes, the stronger a person appears, the more fragile they are when they encounter something.
Veronica lightly nudged Masonâs elbow, afraid that he would scare her friend. She said, âShirley, letâs change the topic. What do you want to eatâ¦â
