Chapter 792 Possessive Boyfriend Strikes Again
As Mateo pulled a long face, Hayley chuckled. “You do know she has two kids and was once married,
right?” “I do.”
“Then, why still her?” “As I said, I’d already fallen for her when I first met her at Bloomstead, and I’ve
been waiting for her all these years. Actually… I didn’t want to bring it up, but I worry she’ll be taken
when she’s such a keeper.”
Mateo genuinely loved the young woman, and he wanted to seize the chance now that she had
returned and years of waiting finally ended. Nothing would change his love for her, no matter how her
past had been.
“Oh, Mateo, you’re still too young. Sometimes, things aren’t as simple as you imagine,” dissuaded
Hayley earnestly as she patted his shoulder.

determination. “I’m saying this because I want your support, Madam Hayley. Just say yes, and I’ll
pursue Roni above board. She and I are the same age; I believe I can take good care of her. Of course,
you’re welcome to assess me.”
‘Be brave to pursue someone you like’ had always been one of Mateo’s life creeds. But too bad
Veronica hadn’t been living in the hidden clan until now. Thus, he never got a chance to prove himself.
His words took Hayley aback, and his passionate sincerity successfully moved her. “I’ve known you
since you were a child, and you’re a decent match for Veronica, too, knowing you’re simple and gentle.
But Veronica’s a mother of two after all and was also once married. Compared to you… As long as you
can accept that, I’ve got no problem with it.”
“Really?!” Mateo’s eyes lit up. He was grinning from ear to ear with elation.
“But I’m still not the one with the final say, no? You have to get Veronica to say yes.” Hayley didn’t stop
him from pursuing Veronica, as she had her plans as well.
Because the young woman grew up in Bloomstead, where her twins and adoptive mother were
currently residing, and she also was once in a marriage, her heart remained there, so grounding her
here was impossible. Thus, they had to find a reason to make her stay willingly, and love was the best
betting chip.
If Mateo could successfully make Veronica fall in love with him, she would eventually stay willingly.
The hidden clan monarchy was super liberal and could even accept polygamy, and once Veronica
ascended the throne, she could take in more husbands. So what if Mateo was one of her many
husbands?!
“Of course, no problem at all!” Mateo whooped, so jovial that he couldn’t stop grinning. In fact, he would
jump with joy if the three of them weren’t around.
“Look at you, still behaving like a child.” Hayley teased, then got up, announcing, “I’m going to turn in
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmnow. You guys should get some rest as well.”
Crayson, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised that Hayley would say yes, and he naturally
didn’t have a problem with it.
Mateo was his grandson, and Veronica was his apprentice. Their marriage would only bring the two
families even closer, and he was more than happy to see it happen.
Meanwhile, upstairs…
Because Veronica’s bedroom door was open and Mateo unconsciously raised his voice due to elation,
the couple heard the entire conversation clearly from Veronica’s bedroom.
After closing the door gently, Matthew pinned Veronica against it and held her chin. “Tell me, Roni, what
should I do with you?”
In the depths of his fathomless eyes lay ill-conceived helplessness.
