Just as Mateo put on a gloomy face, Hayley smiled and asked, ‘Do you know that she already has two children and has been. married?” “I know.”
“Since you know, why do you still want to be with her?” “Like I said, I saw her and fell for her when I went to Bloomstead years ago. I’ve been waiting for her all these years. I didn’t want to tell you all, but seeing how outstanding Roni is, I’m worried that someone else will snatch her away.”
Mateo really liked Veronica. After waiting for decades, he finally had the chance to pursue Veronica. No matter what her past was like, it didn’t affect his feelings for her.
“Mateo, you’re still too young. Some things are not as easy as you imagine.” Hayley patted Mateo’s shoulder and advised him earnestly. “I’ve waited for over ten years. Do you think there’s anything I can’t accept?”
His eyes were determined. “The reason I’m being honest with you is because I want your support. As long as you agree, I will openly pursue Roni. We’re the same age, and I believe I can take care of her. Of course, I will also accept your inspection, Madam Hayley.”
To boldly pursue someone he liked was Mateo’s motto in life. But he had been frustrated because Veronica had been away from the hidden clan for so many years, and he hadn’t had a chance to show his affection.
Hayley, moved by his sincere and passionate words, was slightly taken aback. After thinking for a moment, she said, “You’ve grown up under my watch. You have a pure heart and are kind-hearted. You’re not bad. Roni is the mother of two children and has been married. If I were to compare her to you… I have no objections as long as you can accept her.”
“Really?” Mateo’s eyes that lit up were filled with joy, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears. “But what’s the use of me accepting? You have to work hard to make Roni accept you.” Hayley didn’t try to stop him..
The reason she agreed to Mateo’s request was because of her own selfish motives. Because Veronica grew up in Bloomstead, had been married, and her two children and their foster mother were all in Bloomstead, it would be difficult for them to make her stay in the hidden clan.
To make Veronica willingly stay in the hidden clan, there had to be something that could make her reluctant to leave. It had to be something she cared about.
Love was the best bargaining chip. If Mateo could win Veronica’s affection, Veronica would willingly stay in the hidden clan. The hidden clan royalty was very open-minded, as both polyandry and polygamy were allowed.
When Veronica ascended to the position of the head of the clan and built a harem, having. Mateo among her many men wouldn’t make a difference.
“Yes! No problem!” Mateo was so overjoyed that he couldn’t close his mouth. If it weren’t for the three elders, he would have jumped and cheered.
“You’re still like a child who hasn’t grown up.” Hayley smilingly stood up. “I’m going to rest. You should sleep early too.”
Crayson didn’t expect Hayley to agree. Naturally, he had no objections. Mateo was his grandson, and Veronica was his disciple. If the two of them got together, they would have a closer relationship. That would be something that he would be happy to see. At the same time, upstairs..
Mateo’s voice grew louder the more excited he got. However, he was completely unaware. Because the room door was open, the couple in the second-floor room clearly heard their conversation.
Matthew gently closed the door, pressed Veronica against the door panel, and lifted his hand to hold her chin. “Roni, tell me. What should I do with you?”
His eyes, pitch black and bottomless, couldn’t hide the helplessness deep in his pupils.
