Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1167

The longer Lionel remained silent, the more Jacintha's heart sank, feeling slightly disappointed.

Howard immediately chimed in, "Lionel, if you're a man, you should dare to admit your feelings. If you like her, just say so. If you give a wrong answer tonight, you'll regret it later, and you'll be the one at a loss."

Elliot and Noah shared their own experiences on this matter.

Noah said, "I didn't realize it at first, but I actually fell for Hannah a long time ago."

Elliot added, "Lionel, you must think carefully before speaking. I almost had to sacrifice my life for Sheena's forgiveness, and you've witnessed these things firsthand. While you and Jacintha may not have as many complicated issues, if you answer wrongly, it won't be easy for you to win her back in the future."

Lionel was at a loss for words, stuttering, "I…"

Sheena also reminded him, "Lionel, what would you feel if Jacintha fell in love with someone else?"

Lionel took Sheena's words seriously and remembered a similar situation when he was with Nathaniel, who expressed interest in Jacintha.

He was furious, feeling like someone was out to steal the precious plant he had cared for just as it was about to bloom.

Back then, he thought if Nathaniel actually did so, he would surely beat him up.

Reflecting on this, he earnestly replied, "I'd feel hurt and angry. If her future boyfriend mistreats her, I might even consider killing him."

Hearing his response, everyone laughed.

Jacintha lovingly held his face and kissed his cheek.

"Thank you, Lionel. I knew you cared about me. Don't worry. I'll only ever have one boyfriend in my life. If you don't want me, I'll become a nun!"

Lionel barely recovered from the embarrassment of being kissed and quietly complained to Jacintha, "You're a girl, so you should be a little more reserved. There are so many people watching, so don't be so aggressive!"

His comment sparked laughter throughout the dining room.

Jacintha giggled.

Imitating Sheena's assertiveness, she grabbed Lionel's collar and said seriously, "Lionel, ever since you rescued me from the dungeon in Laubabwe, I've had my eye on you. You'll never get rid of me."

Lionel lightly patted her hand and responded, "Let go, missy. I won't get rid of you. I fed you, put you through college, and spent so much money on you. I need to make sure I get my investment back!"

The table erupted in laughter at his remark.

Howard teased, "Elliot, it seems like the National Investigation Bureau and the Jenkins Group don't pay well. Why is Lionel such a pinchpenny?"
