    After that, it seemed like Veronica was running into Daniel more often, sometimes on the school


    campus, sometimes on the yground, and sometimes in the library.


    Sometimes, they just exchange a smile, while other times, Daniel would approach her and initiate a


    conversation.


    A bewildering feeling spread in Veronica’s heart, something she had never experienced before.


    One day, when Daniel met Veronica again, he smiled and said, “I want to buy a pair of sneakers this


    Sunday. Um, do you have time? Can you help me pick out some sneakers?”


    “Me?” Veronica paused for a moment, surprised.


    “Yes, are you free?” Daniel looked at her with bright eyes.


    At that moment, Veronica suddenly didn’t want her eyes to show disappointment. “Okay, I’ll go with you


    to pick out a dress on Sunday,” she replied.


    Daniel’s face immediately lit up with a sunny smile and he


    eximed excitedly, “That’s settled then! I’lle pick you up at 10am on Sunday. Where do you


    live?”

    Veronica shared her home address and asked for Daniel’s


    address. She realized that they were inpletely opposite


    directions. So she suggested, “Let’s meet at the entrance of the


    mall. My home is conveniently located near a subway station that goes directly to the mall.”


    “Okay, let’s meet at the entrance of the mall. Don’t be a no–show!”


    said Daniel.


    At that moment, someone nearby called out to Daniel to y ball. He said, “I’ll go y ball first. See


    you on Sunday!”


    “Okay, see you on Sunday,” Veronica replied.


    Watching Daniel’s back as he ran away, Veronica’s lips curved into


    a smile. Sunday…this was the first time she had a date with a boy


    other than Mason.


    A date?


    When these two words crossed Veronica’s mind, she paused for a


    moment. Was she…on a date now?


    On Sunday, Veronica woke up early and took some time to dress up, putting on her new dress.


    When Mason saw Veronica at the dining table, he was slightly


    surprised. He felt that Veronica was different from before, but he


    couldn’t quite put his finger on what was different.

    Stepmother Rosalind Bush looked at Veronica and couldn’t help but ask, “Veronica, are you going to


    apany Mason to the Reed family today?”


    Although Mason lived with the Barlow family, he still had a few fixed days each month to visit the Reed


    family. This was one of the conditions that Jason agreed to when he allowed his son to live with the


    Barlow family for a long time.


    “No, I’m going shopping with…um, a friendter,” Veronica said.

    “Shopping? Do you have enough money? If not, just tell me!” Rosalind yed the role of a kind mother


    at the moment.


    Over the years, she has been working hard to please and tter Veronica. After all, the Barlow family


    now relies on Veronica to keep Mason hooked, which is why they are living the good life.


    “No need, I have enough money,” said Veronica calmly.


    In recent years, due to the Reed family’s influence, her


    rtionship with her stepmother has somewhat improved.


    However, she is aware of her stepmother’s insincerity and


    superficial warmth, which is only due to the Reed family’s


    influence.


    Mason looked at Veronica and asked, “Do you want to go shopping with your friends?”


    “Mmm,” she said.

    “Which friend?” he asked insistently.

    “Hmm?” After a moment of confusion, she said, “It’s Pam.


    She called me a few days ago and said that it’s been a long time


    since we’ve seen each other, and she wants to meet up and go


    shopping.”


    Pam was her ssmate in junior high school and they had a


    good rtionship. They used to hang out together on weekends.


    Mason didn’t say anything else.


    Veronica couldn’t help but silently criticize herself for lying just


    now.


    Why did she lie to Mason? Maybe it’s because Mason and Daniel


    had a conflictst time, so she instinctively didn’t say that she


    went shopping with Daniel this time.


    “I’ll take you there. Where will you meet Pam?” said Mason


    after finishing breakfast.


    “No need, I’ll take the subway directly to the mall entrance, it’s


    very convenient. You can go back to your home first, I still need


    some time before leaving,” said Veronica.
