Mhalee's POV Krystal and I were deep in conversation when I asked about Matias’ children. She told me she lives nearby and visits them often, so she sees firsthand how they’re coping. According to her, they’re still angry—so angry that they refuse to talk about their father or about me. The youngest, especially, harbors the deepest resentment. They’ve said hurtful things, dismissed me as nothing more than a “gold digger.” Hearing that weighed heavily on my heart. But what can they do? Matias and I love each other. Still, I can’t help but wish for their happiness—because if they find peace, then perhaps Matias and I can, too. More than anything, I just want us all to coexist without bitterness. My boyfriend is a quiet man, but I can feel the sorrow he carries. He loves his children deep
