The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart (Brittany and Isaac) novel Chapter 948

Jonathan's eyes lit up with hope. "Are you sure?"

He never expected Ophelia to be the first one to have a change of heart.

His gleaming eyes irked Ophelia for no good reason.

Did he want to call off their engagement that badly? Well, he was head over heels for Saskia, and even though Ophelia wasn't keen on Jonathan, she had no desire to wreck someone else's love story.

"Yeah," she confirmed, her voice steady.

Jonathan didn't care that his clothes got dirty as he grabbed Ophelia's hand. "Ophelia, I always knew you had a heart of gold. Don't worry, once I marry Saskia, I'll find a way to thank you. I've wronged you; I dragged you into this mess. I'll make it up to you in the future. I'll give you anything you want."

Ophelia, with her obsession for cleanliness, pulled her hand away and wiped it disdainfully.

Jonathan's face hardened. Was she that repulsed by him?

"Just focus on your job," she advised before leaving.

Ophelia's departure lit a fire under Jonathan. He returned to the diner with renewed zeal and apologized to the customers.

After a hint from Ophelia, the manager couldn't stay mad and let Jonathan get back to work.

Once she was alone, Ophelia exhaled a sigh of relief, while Jonathan wasted no time sharing the good news with Saskia.

"Saskia, don't worry, I'll convince my parents to come around. Just give me a little more time, I promise I'll marry you."

Saskia's voice was choked with emotion. "Jonathan, you've been working so hard. I've been scared to even step outside. I'm worried about you."

"It's okay, just rest up. You need to take care of yourself. Once I sort everything out here, I'll come see you."

Jonathan remembered her upcoming birthday. "I've got your present waiting. Just you wait."

"Jonathan, order up!" The chef's shout snapped him back to reality, and he quickly pocketed his phone, replying with a "Be right there!"

Saskia knew Jonathan was having a rough time lately. She never showed her face, only supplied the cash.
