Bumpkins Rich Handsome Husband
Chapter 792 Possessive Boyfriend Strikes Again As Mateo pulled a long face, Hayley chuckled. âYou do know she has two kids and was once married, right?â âI do.â
âThen, why still her?â âAs I said, Iâd already fallen for her when I first met her at Bloomstead, and Iâve been waiting for her all these years. Actually⦠I didnât want to bring it up, but I worry sheâll be taken when sheâs such a keeper.â
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.
âOh, Mateo, youâre still too young. Sometimes, things arenât as simple as you imagine,â dissuaded Hayley earnestly as she patted his shoulder.
âWhat else is there that I canât take when I can even wait for over a decade?â he debated with determination. âIâm saying this because I want your support, Madam Hayley. Just say yes, and Iâll pursue Roni above board. She and I are the same age; I believe I can take good care of her. Of course, youâre welcome to assess me.â
âBe brave to pursue someone you likeâ had always been one of Mateoâs life creeds. But too bad Veronica hadnât 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. âIâve known you since you were a child, and youâre a decent match for Veronica, too, knowing youâre simple and gentle.
But Veronicaâs a mother of two after all and was also once married. Compared to you⦠As long as you can accept that, Iâve got no problem with it.â
âReally?!â Mateoâs eyes lit up. He was grinning from ear to ear with elation.
âBut Iâm still not the one with the final say, no? You have to get Veronica to say yes.â Hayley didnât 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?!
âOf course, no problem at all!â Mateo whooped, so jovial that he couldnât stop grinning. In fact, he would jump with joy if the three of them werenât around.
âLook at you, still behaving like a child.â Hayley teased, then got up, announcing, âIâm going to turn in now. You guys should get some rest as well.â
Crayson, on the other hand, was somewhat surprised that Hayley would say yes, and he naturally didnât 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, upstairsâ¦
Because Veronicaâs bedroom door was open and Mateo unconsciously raised his voice due to elation, the couple heard the entire conversation clearly from Veronicaâs bedroom.
After closing the door gently, Matthew pinned Veronica against it and held her chin. âTell me, Roni, what should I do with you?â
In the depths of his fathomless eyes lay ill-conceived helplessness.
