Bumpkin’s Rich Handsome Husband novel Chapter 1005

Veronica's eyes brightened. "A-Are you really willing to raise the children with me? You won't hate them for being Matthew's kin?"

Although Mateo was still weak, he still extended a hand to wipe the tears away from her face, saying gently, "I like you as a person. Even if you have a past with Matthew, that's all in the past. As for the children, I'll take them under my wing too."

"Mat… Y-You're the best."

Veronica pounced on him and wrapped her arms around him, her cheek pressed against his. At that moment, the two were unbelievably close, to the extent where Veronica felt like pushing him away. However, she had to do this—it was only by making Mateo believe her wholeheartedly could she find out where her children were.

I'm sorry, Matt.

Veronica felt that she was wronging Matthew, but she had no other choice due to the urgent situation.

As Veronica did a 180 today, particularly in her behavior toward him, Mateo was unable to accept reality all of a sudden and couldn't get used to it at all.

After a pause, he finally raised his hand and patted her on the back. "Don't be sad."

"How can I not? The one I like is you, but I had that monster's children. Mat, I think… I'm dirty now."

Veronica's tears flowed freely out of her eyes and down Mateo's neck. Upon feeling the sensation of the warm liquid trickling down his neck, Mateo felt his heart ache even more. Veronica had finally remembered their past and even wanted to marry him, and everything was finally looking better again. However, there was a feeling of unease that he just couldn't shake off.

"Roni, everyone has a past. The children are innocent."
