Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1251

Lionel was taken aback by her words. "Why would you think that? While I do respect Elliot and Sheena, marriage is a serious matter. Of course, I've also carefully considered it."

Seeing his sincerity, Jacintha let the topic slide and moved on to her next question.

"Lionel, do you notice anything different about me today?"

She wiped away her tears and blinked her watery eyes, intentionally showing her finely made-up face to him.

Lionel scanned her up and down but could not spot any differences.

"You're more… emotional than usual?"

Jacintha huffed and started hitting his shoulder.

"I shouldn't have asked you that! You're such a clueless guy. What's the point of putting on makeup when you don't even notice it?"

She continued to hit him.

With years of training and a tough physique, Lionel remained unfazed by Jacintha's punches.

He gently grasped her fists, habitually massaging her knuckles.

"Alright, Jacintha, stop throwing tantrums. Your hands will hurt later."

Faced with such an unromantic man, Jacintha could only console herself.

Thankfully, he still knew how to show concern, not wanting her to hurt herself.

Lionel's hands were accustomed to handling guns and knives, leaving them calloused and rough.

As Jacintha's hands were delicate, he could not gauge the right amount of pressure. So, he used the back of his hand to wipe away her tears, accidentally smudging her eyeliner.

Her smeared eye makeup gave her a panda eye, and Lionel tried to hold back a laugh as he stared at her.

"Jacintha, your makeup is all smudged. Should I have an officer take you back to freshen up?"

"Smudged?" Jacintha hurriedly pulled out a small mirror from her pocket.

She had spent hours meticulously applying makeup, only for it to be ruined so quickly.

Back when he was twenty years old, he had already followed Elliot to two border battlefields, fighting his way out of a harsh living environment where bullets rained down upon them.

Lionel sighed, recalling Jacintha mentioned meeting her family before their engagement.

Elliot and Sheena would return from their trip soon, and as the head of the Jenkins family, Elliot would likely approach Jacintha's family about their engagement.

Hence, Lionel needed to contact her family as soon as possible.

Considering how long he had been with Jacintha, he had never looked into her background because she did not like it.

On his way back to the office, Lionel made arrangements to investigate her background promptly.

He had broken his promise to accompany Jacintha due to work obligations, so he decided to buy her a sugar-free cake when he got home.

She loved desserts, so that should soothe her.

With that, Lionel returned to his office.
