Chapter 801 Never Marry Again

Veronica made her stance very clear and severed all hopes for Mateo ever to make her his. At the

same time, her statement shocked everyone at the table, causing them to gaze at her in unison.

“You’re not going to remarry?” Crayson cried out exasperatedly. “That’s ridiculous!” Even Hayley wasn’t

having it. “Anyone can choose to stay single, but not you.”

“Matthew Kings is dead, and you intend to be a widow? What are you, a fool?” Destiny sassed while

Mateo implored, “You’re still young, Roni. How can you not remarry? You still have a wonderful life

ahead of you, so don’t dwell in the past.”

After listening to their words, Matthew drooped his eyelids and headed to the yard. All that mattered

was Veronica’s stance.

Meanwhile, Veronica put her spoon down and looked icily at Hayley, who was sitting right across from

her. “I didn’t come to the hidden clan for the throne or because you’re my birth mother; rather, my

children’s lives would be at stake if I don’t comply. I will help you reclaim the throne, but I will not stay,”

she bellowed. “My mind won’t change. Not now, not ever. Also, you can forget about finding me a suitor

here in the hidden clan, for I will never fall in love with your kind—even if my last choices are between

them and Bloomstead’s beggars.”

“That’s because…” she drawled. “I don’t belong here.”

“How dare you speak to your mother like that, Veronica?!” Crayson reprimanded.

“It’s fine.” Hayley shook her head at Crayson with her usual graceful smile before turning to Veronica.

“Alright, if that’s what you want. Come, eat your breakfast.”

Some things couldn’t be forced, but… she believed time could change them.

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

others.

“You don’t suppose it’s over for me, do you, Madam Hayley? I mean, Roni made it clear.”

He had been so hopeful and enthusiastic the night before, but who’d have thought he’d wake up to his

burning passion drowned mercilessly by Veronica’s answer?

“You still have much to learn, Mateo.” After taking a sip, Hayley put down her coffee, then said slowly,

“Veronica and Matthew were deeply in love with each other, and he just died not long ago, so it’s only

normal that Veronica can’t come out of the loss. If you really like her, treat her well. Women fall very

easily for a man’s tenderness and care. As long as you do your best, everything will fall into place.”

“Really?” Mateo’s eyes lit up, hopeful again.

“I was once where you are. I won’t possibly lie to you, now, will I?”

“Hahaha, great, great. You treat me the best, Madam Hayley.”

“Well, look at you. I’ve been treating you like my own ever since you were a kid.”

While the two discussed Veronica inside, Matthew, who was taking a drag at the door, overheard their

entire conversation, and his gaze turned sub-zero.

Upstairs, Veronica was studying when her phone rang. It was a call from Xavier, who had asked

Veronica for her number at the banquet.

“Hey, Xavier,” she greeted.

However, nothing came from the other end for a moment before Xavier’s concerned voice sounded,

“How were you last night?”

“I’m alright. What’s up?”

“Really? You were alright? Was your liquor last night really fine?” Though Dominik had already given

him the answer at the palace last night, Xavier still didn’t believe him.

Meanwhile, Veronica fell silent, not answering him.
