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.
