The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1276

Kari was a bundle of nerves, her hands tightly clutching a beautifully wrapped gift on her lap as they drove through the town. Her mind was miles away, lost in a whirlwind of what-ifs and maybes.

Ronald noticed her unease and pulled over at a quiet street corner.

"Still nervous?" he asked, his voice gentle.

Trying her best to appear calm, Kari couldn’t help but voice her fears, "Ronald, do you think the Malones will oppose us being together?"

Ronald rolled down the window, handing her a bottle of water with a sigh, "Kari, the Malones are definitely not going to be on board with this."

Her hands froze on the water bottle. So, it was true—the Malones really wouldn’t approve.

Taking the bottle from her, Ronald opened it and handed it back, "But you know what? I don’t care about the Malones' opinion."

Kari’s eyes fluttered in disbelief, "What?"

"Whether the Malones approve or not doesn’t concern me," Ronald spoke his truth, "I’m bringing you home to tell them that I’ve found the person I want to spend my life with."

"And if they can’t accept that, then I guess I’ll have to step away from the Malone legacy."

Kari was stunned. Ronald had everything planned, even contemplating leaving his inheritance behind for a life with her!

"Ronald, are you sure about this? You won’t regret it?" she whispered.

The Malones were influential, and Ronald was set to inherit it all. To forsake that for their relationship was unthinkable.

Leaning in, Ronald kissed her softly, a gesture filled with tender warmth rather than passion, "Kari, nothing is more precious to me than you."

He was a businessman at heart, always chasing profits. But Kari, she was beyond any material wealth.

He had worked his way up, enduring countless trials just to stand where he was today—all to protect Kari and give her the best life possible. If he were to choose wealth over Kari, all his efforts would be meaningless.
