The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

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."
