Chapter 1258 Let Me Introduce Myself
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!
This feeling was unbearable. Matthew wanted to reveal his identity, but he held it back. This time, he couldn't bear it anymore.
"Ouch! Oh, my!"
After being punched hard in the right eye, Mateo's head tilted back and fell to the ground, covering his eye in pain. He pointed at Matthew and snapped, "Iron Pillar, do you want to start a war? How dare you forcefully kiss Roni and hit me? Are you tired of living?"
At the sight of Mateo's miserable state, Veronica glared at Matthew and scolded, "What are you doing?"
Matthew raised his hand and tightly held Veronica's waist, pulling her close.
"Hey, let go of her. Don't touch my Roni!"
At that moment, Mateo ignored the pain in his eyes and backside, stood up directly, and started yanking Matthew.
As soon as he reached out his hand, Matthew grabbed his wrist. Mateo struggled but found he was held tightly and couldn't break free.
"W-What do you want to do?" Mateo stomped his feet in anger.
Matthew raised an eyebrow, a hint of a smile appeared on his lips, and he enunciated his words, gazing at Veronica with a doting look. "Let me introduce myself. I'm Matthew, and this person beside me is..."
He slowed down his speech, glanced at Veronica, and said lovingly, "My wife, Veronica."
"Y-You said you are Matthew?"
Mateo's eyes widened visibly, indicating the shock he had just experienced.
He was stunned, standing there motionless.
Matthew let go of his hand, raised his hand, and pinched Veronica's cheek. "You made me feel insecure all of a sudden. What should I do with you?"
Veronica didn't know what to do with him, raising her hand to rub her forehead. "You are too impulsive. Even if..."
Feeling a little guilty, she glanced at Mateo and covered half of her face with her hand, whispering, "Even if you can't stand it, you shouldn't have hit him."
