Her Billionaire Husband

Chapter 1202 Time Could Change Everything

Veronica directly expressed her feelings, ending Mateo's expectations of her.

Her words shocked everyone.

The people dining at the table immediately looked up, their gazes all falling on Veronica.

Crayson blurted out, "You are not going to remarry? That's ridiculous!"

"Anyone can choose not to get married, but not you," Hayley echoed.

Destiny also chimed in, "Matthew Kings is dead. Do you want to be a widow for the rest of your life? Are you stupid?"

"You're still young! How can you not get married?" Mateo asked. "The rest of your life can be beautiful. You shouldn't live in memories."

Listening to their words, Matthew looked down and walked to the courtyard.

He was satisfied after hearing Veronica's words just now.

Veronica put down the spoon, raised her head, and looked at Hayley with a cold expression on her face. "The reason I came to the hidden clan is not because I have my eyes on the position of the head of the clan or that you're my biological mother. It's because you will use my kids to blackmail me if I don't come. I'm now willing to help you reclaim the position of the head of the clan. However, I won't stay in the hidden clan."

She spoke with conviction. "Whether it's now or in the future, I won't change my mind. Don't even think that I'll find a partner within the hidden clan. Even if I have to get together with a beggar from Bloomstead, I won't fall in love with a man from the hidden plan in this lifetime. Because..."

She deliberately emphasized, "I don't belong here."

"Veronica, how dare you speak to your mother like that?!" Crayson reprimanded her.

Hayley shook her head, wearing her usual elegant and calm smile on her face. "It's alright." She then turned to Veronica and said, "Alright, as you wish. Let's eat."

Some things couldn't be forced, but...

She believed that time could change everything.

After dinner, Veronica went upstairs to study while Mateo sat on the couch with Hayley and the others.

Mateo sighed irritably. "Roni is so firm about this. Do I have no chance?"

He was full of excitement and anticipation yesterday. However, Veronica's answer today was like a bucket of cold water poured over his head, chilling him to the bone.

"You're still too young," Hayley said slowly, sipping her coffee. "Veronica has deep feelings for Matthew. He 'passed away' not long ago, and she can't get out of the trauma. If you really like her, treat her well. Women can't resist a man's tenderness and care. As long as you do well, everything will fall into place."

"Really?"

Mateo's eyes lit up like bright stars.

"I've been there. Would I lie to you?"

"Haha! Got it! Madam Hayley, you're always the best to me."

"Look at what nonsense you're saying. I watched you grow up. You've always been like my child to me."

The two of them were talking about Veronica in the room. Meanwhile, Matthew, who was smoking at the door, overheard their conversation.
