The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 945

Ophelia rubbed her temples in exasperation. “But Jonathan and I… we’re just not cut from the same cloth.”

Jonathan, to put it kindly, was harmless. To put it less kindly, he was a bit of a dimwit.

Ysabel frowned. “Lately, Jonathan’s been cozying up to Saskia a lot. If they bring up marriage now, he might not agree.”

Jonathan was the kind of naive guy who believed the whole world revolved around true love. He might even defy the Metzger family’s plans for the sake of his so-called true love. “Yes, but my mom’s word is final. I can’t oppose her.”

Ysabel got the hint and didn’t press further.
