Chapter 857 The Interrupted Confession

• It was awkward for Veronica, but she tried to hide it. "Hey, Mateo. Listen, I know how you feel about me." As she spoke, she paused to turn around and face him before explaining solemnly, "I need to tell you that I don't see you that way."
• The sudden rejection came so unexpectedly that it caught Mateo off guard, and the smile on his face froze. He looked at Veronica in a daze before replying, "No worries, although you don't have feelings for me now, you'll eventually do. I know your husband just passed away, so you're not ready to move on yet. However, I believe that time will heal your heart. You'll eventually put the relationship behind you and move on. There's still plenty of time, and I'm willing to wait for you and grow old with you."
• This time round, before Veronica could come up with a reply, Matthew directly pulled her into his arms and held her face with his hand before planting a kiss on her lips.
