Wait, She’s a Billionaire (Sheena Lawson) novel Chapter 1261

Lionel noticed her unnatural expression and gently caressed her soft cheek.

"We don't have to meet them if you don't want to."

Jacintha took a deep breath and said, "No, I want to meet them."

She held Lionel's hand, intertwining their fingers, and asked uncertainly, "Lionel, once we're engaged, or even married in the future, will you abandon me? Like my dad did when he sold me to Laubabwe for money…"

Lionel sighed and met her gaze, assuring her, "I won't and never will. I'm a man of my word. Once I make a choice, I stick to it and never look back. Since I've decided to get engaged to you, you'll be the only woman in my life."

His tone was serious as if discussing work, but every word was laden with promise.

Jacintha could not help but be moved by his sincerity.

"Thank you. I knew I could count on you. Anyway, it's time to meet my parents and break off our so-called familial ties," she replied.

Lionel patted her head.

With Lionel by her side, Jacintha felt confident in everything she did, brimming with a sense of security.

After leaving the amusement park, the two drove to a less bustling rented house in Svelton.

This was the Finley family's fifth move.

Pressed by debt collectors, their life was tough.

Following the address, Lionel and Jacintha walked through the rather worn down rented house corridor.

As they approached the place, Jacintha said, "Lionel, let me meet them first."

Lionel, mature and composed, agreed, "Okay. I'll wait for you in the hallway."

Jacintha hurried up the stairs, taking three steps at a time, and found the rented unit—No. 555.
