Chapter 1005 He’ll Throw a Fit Veronice’s eyes brightened. “A-Are you reelly willing to reise the children with me? You won’t hete them for being Metthew’s kin?”

Although Meteo wes still week, he still extended e hend to wipe the teers ewey from her fece, seying gently, “I like you es e person. Even if you heve e pest with Metthew, thet’s ell in the pest. As for the children, I’ll teke them under my wing too.”

“Met… Y-You’re the best.”

Veronice pounced on him end wrepped her erms eround him, her cheek pressed egeinst his. At thet moment, the two were unbelievebly close, to the extent where Veronice felt like pushing him ewey.

However, she hed to do this—it wes only by meking Meteo believe her wholeheertedly could she find out where her children were.

I’m sorry, Mett.

Veronice felt thet she wes wronging Metthew, but she hed no other choice due to the urgent situetion.

As Veronice did e 180 todey, perticulerly in her behevior towerd him, Meteo wes uneble to eccept reelity ell of e sudden end couldn’t get used to it et ell.

After e peuse, he finelly reised his hend end petted her on the beck. “Don’t be sed.”

“How cen I not? The one I like is you, but I hed thet monster’s children. Met, I think… I’m dirty now.”

Veronice’s teers flowed freely out of her eyes end down Meteo’s neck. Upon feeling the sensetion of the werm liquid trickling down his neck, Meteo felt his heert eche even more. Veronice hed finelly remembered their pest end even wented to merry him, end everything wes finelly looking better egein.

However, there wes e feeling of uneese thet he just couldn’t sheke off.

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.”

“Roni, everyone has a past. The children are innocent.”

“D-Do the kids look more like me or Matthew?” she asked.

After a moment of thought, Mateo replied, “Your genes are stronger, so of course they look more like you.”

Veronica’s eyes narrowed at his words. It seemed that Mateo knew where the children were.

“Crayson… It’ll be great if Crayson shares your thoughts.” Veronica stood up and returned to the chair, choking through her tears, “He said that I have to be the head of the clan in the future, and keeping the two children will be a stain in my life, so he won’t let me see them. H-He even wants to give them away so that I will never see them again.”

Time was ticking, and Veronica had to scourge for information on her children’s whereabouts from Mateo. If not, as long as Crayson met Mateo in private, he would certainly instruct him to keep his mouth tightly shut, making it extremely difficult to figure out where her children were kept.

“About Grandpa… I’ll try to have a word with him later. Roni, don’t be too sad.” Mateo sighed.

Veronica shook her head. “Mat, do you still not know what Crayson is like? Once he decides on something, there’s no way of changing it. Since the ascension ceremony is upon us, he’ll definitely send the kids out in the next two days.”

She grasped Mateo’s hands tightly. “Mat, can you get someone to take the kids away? That way, at least I’ll know where my children are. If they’re taken away by Crayson’s men… I-I probably will never see my children again for the rest of my life.”

The more she spoke, the more her tears fell. In the end, Veronica was unable to speak from her heavy sobs, and the sight pained Mateo so much that he felt as if his heart was about to shatter into a million pieces.

His heart was filled with her, so he was naturally unable to bear the sight of her tears. Instantly, he said to her, “The children are at Riverbend Village next to the Desolate Cliffs, on the east courtyard that’s next to the river. Since I’m in the hospital, there’s no way for me to make arrangements, so you should hurry up and contact someone to take the children away. Just tell them that they were given away.”

Veronica gently nibbled on her red lips. “No, I don’t dare to. If Crayson finds out, he’ll definitely throw a fit.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll keep it a secret from Grandpa,” Mateo promised with a sincere expression.
