Veronica was at a loss, but she couldn't show it too obviously.
She said to Mateo, "Mateo, I understand your intentions." She paused momentarily, turned around, and faced Mateo seriously, saying, "I need to make it clear to you that I don't feel that way about you."
The sudden rejection caught Mateo off guard.
The smile on his face froze, and he looked at Veronica in a daze. He smiled bitterly and said, "It's okay; you don't like me now, but you will definitely like me in the future. I'm also aware of your husband's passing, and you won't accept anyone for a while.
"But I believe time is the best medicine to heal a broken heart. One day, you will let go of the past love and embrace a new dawn. After all, the future is unpredictable, and I am willing to grow old with you."
Mateo gathered his courage and once again expressed his feelings to Veronica.
However, before Veronica could speak, Matthew directly pulled her to his side, lifted her chin, and kissed her lips.
"Dang!"
Mateo was shocked to the core.
He stared at the two people kissing in front of him in disbelief.
In the next second, his face turned cold, and he cursed, "Iron Pillar, let go of Roni. She is mine!"
After speaking, he threw a left hook directly at Matthew's face.
Then Matthew grabbed his fist reflectively. With his other hand, he jabbed Mateo's right eye hard. "She is my wife! That's that!"
Since joining the hidden clan, people had always been coveting Veronica, and he had been enduring it.
But Mateo was too presumptuous, even claiming that Veronica was his!
He even claimed that her husband had passed!
