After Archer and Rosalind left, Veronica went back to the hospital after packing her things.
Mason was sitting on the hospital bed talking on the phone.
But he was speaking in a foreign language, and Veronica didnât understand what he was saying at all.
After all, the only foreign language she knew was English.
After Mason finished his call, Veronica asked, âWho were you talking to just now?â
âI was talking to the person in charge at the school,â he said.
âSchool? Stanford University?â
âNo, itâs the school I was originally attending. I had planned. to return there in two months, but since Iâm not planning to go back now, there are some things I need to take care of,â Mason said.
Veronicaâs face lit up. âSo youâll complete your studies domestically?â
âYes,â Mason replied.
âThatâs great!â she exclaimed, but then she seemed to remember something. âWill you still go abroad for further studies in the future?â
âEven if I do, Iâll go with you! If you donât want to go abroad, then weâll just stay here together,â he said.
Veronica felt a wave of sweetness in her heart. âWeâll be together in the future and wonât be separated, right?â
âOtherwise?â he looked at her. âDid you forget what you promised me?â
His voice, once cold, now seemed a bit dangerous.
âI didnât forget, of course not!â Veronica quickly said, leaning in to kiss Masonâs cheek. âI love you so much, how could I bear to be separated from you? I just wanted to confirm it because I was afraid you might forget.â
It seemed that since they had opened up to each other after experiencing life and death together, she had become bolder.
Masonâs cheek turned red, and he stared at Veronica. âYouââ but his tone was no longer dangerous.
Instead, he seemed a bit confused and cute.
This kind of Mason made Veronica unable to resist teasing him. After all, she hadnât seen him look so cute in a long time.
âDo you like it when I kiss you?â she asked.
He pursed his lips and gave her a white look. âWhy are you asking this?â
âIf you like it, I can kiss you more in the future. Of course, if you donât like it, Iâll try to be careful not to make you unhappy,â she said, her eyes shining.
This expression clearly shows that they are watching their prey fall into a trap.
Mason remembered when they were younger, sometimes Veronica would tease him just for fun, enjoying the sight of his blushing face.
Even though he knew she was teasing him, he would still along with it, obediently answering and blushing. And when he saw her smiling face, he felt warm inside.
go ââ¦I like you.â His thin lips spoke the truth, and his cheeks turned even redder.
She gazed at his increasingly crimson cheeks, unable to resist reaching out and gently cupping his face. âOur Mason is becoming more and more handsome.â
âYouâ¦like me?â He whispered.
âOf course I do. From the first time you came to my house when we were kids, I thought you were very cute, like a doll. Back then, I even wanted to dress you up in a little dress and put your hair in pigtails to make you look even cuter.â She said.
