The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 1269

Ronald finally understood why Kari was upset.

"I was just worried you'd mind."

Ronald looked straight into Kari's eyes. "Kari, I don't want you to feel even a bit uncomfortable."

He wanted the whole world to know they were together, but feared Kari might not like it, which had kept him from acting on his desire to capture the moment in photos.

Kari's heart trembled, and she leaned in closer.

Ronald's breath hitched.

Suddenly, the warmth of her kiss landed on his lips.

"Ronald, next time there's an event like this, let's go together."

Ronald was ecstatic. "Kari, do you realize what you're saying?"

Kari pushed him slightly away. "Yes."

She had thought about it for a long time.

Ronald had put in so much effort; it was time she met him halfway.

Ronald pulled her into a tight embrace, his hands strong around her waist, his voice filled with unspeakable excitement. "Kari, are you really willing to be with me?"

Kari felt a bit of pain from his grip but didn't push him away.

"If you're not ready, I can take back what I said."

"No way."

Ronald wouldn't have it. "Kari, you've finally agreed, how can you take it back now?"

Looking into his handsome face, Kari felt her heart flutter even more.

"When we get back to Imperial City, let's tell Mom about us."

Ronald respected all her decisions. "Then I need to prepare in advance. The first visit as your future son-in-law should be taken seriously."

"You've been to my place before."

Kari thought Ronald was making too much of it.

"But it's the first time as your future son-in-law."

Ronald was beyond thrilled. "Kari, I promise to treat you right."

Kari understood him and took his hand. "Okay."

After being affectionate for a long while, Kari sent Ronald off to the bathroom, and she also went to her room.

Both had pierced through the veil of their feelings, each excited about the breakthrough.

He wouldn't budge.

Without a way to make him stop, Kari turned and straddled his lap. "Why do you keep pinching my hand?"

Was there something special about her hand?

Why did he like it so much?

Ronald, startled, and fearful she might fall, wrapped his arms around her waist, pulling her close. "Don't move."

Kari, nestled against his chest, could feel Ronald's heartbeat, strong and clear.

Realizing her boldness, Kari thought to get down.

"Don't move."

Ronald's grasp on her waist made her aware of his body's reaction. "Just give me a moment—"

Kari's eyes widened, innocent and alarmed.

"You!"

Ronald, shedding his usual composure, blushed. "I...I'm sorry, I'm just a bit uncomfortable."

With such warmth and softness in his arms, who could blame him?
