Mason knew that his parents probably already knew what had happened.
âMom and Dad, I donât want to talk about this anymore. I donât regret hitting Daniel that day. If he really wants to sue me, then let him suc me,â Mason said.
âYou childâ¦â Grace spoke up, âWe just want to know what happened at the time.â
âItâs just that I havenât been able to let go of the past, but from now on, I wonât be like this anymore,â
Mason said.
âWhat do you mean by âwonât be like this againâ, do you have a plan?â Grace asked with concern.
âI plan to go back abroad, and not come back for at least two years,â Mason said. Two years should be enough time for him to calm down.
âTwo years?â Grace was surprised. âBut didnât you just come back as an exchange student?â
âAs long as I handle the procedures, I can go back to a foreign school. Itâs not that complicated,â Mason said.
Suddenly, Jason asked, âWhat happened between you and Veronica?â
Masonâs body stiffened slightly at the question. âWe broke up.â
âBroke up?â Grace was shocked. She had just found out that her son had gotten back together with Veronica not long ago. How could they break up so soon?
Even Jason furrowed his brows at the answer. âYou really broke up with her?â
âYes,â Mason said.
âDonât you regret it?â Jason asked again.
âThereâs nothing to regret,â Mason said calmly.
Jason looked at his sonâs indifferent expression and said, âAlright, you can go out first. Iâll take care of things with Daniel. If you really wonât regret it, then I wonât stop you from going abroad. But it will take at least two months to arrange.â
Mason was puzzled. âWhy do I have to wait for two months?â
After all, he hoped to leave Emerald City as soon as possible, to escape this city with Veronica in it!
Escapeâ¦he suddenly realized. It was strange that he would use the word âescapeâ. Was he really afraid of staying in a city with Veronica?
Are you afraid that the deeper your feelings for her become, the more painful it will be?
Or are you afraid of something else?
âYou went abroad for several years before, and finally returned to Emerald City. Now you plan to go abroad again. Shouldnât you stay at home for a few more months and spend more time with your family? Do you know how much your mother missed you when you went abroad?â Jason said.
Mason looked at his worried mother and finally said in a deep voice, âI understand. I will leave in two months.â
After Mason left the study, Grace looked at her husband with a puzzled expression. âWhy did you agree to Mason? He broke up with Veronica and suddenly said he wants to go abroad again. Why didnât you try to persuade him?â
âYou know your sonâs personality. If I could persuade him, he wouldnât have gone abroad to study in the first place,â Jason said. âTwo months is also a period of calm for him. If the feelings between him and Veronica are really deep enough, then things will surely turn around.â
âBut what if things donât turn around? What if he still insists on going abroad?â Grace said.
âThen it can only mean that their feelings are not deep enough,â Jason said. âThis is also a test for them. After all, they are still young and will experience many things in life. If they canât even this test, how can they stay together for a lifetime?â
pass Grace didnât say anything more after hearing this. After all, her husband was right, and there were still two months left. Maybe there would be some changes between Mason and Veronica.
After all, besides Veronica, Grace couldnât imagine her son falling in love with any other woman in the future.
For him, Veronica was once his whole world.
