Wait, She’s a Billionaire ( Sheena Lawson )
Chapter 912
Vanessa took her own sweet time. When she finally came to open the door, Hannah quickly ducked and slipped away unnoticed.
Watching her beloved daughterâs hasty retreat, Vanessa turned to Noah, who was half- leaning against the bed, and pretended to ask, âMr. Noah, what happened last night?â
Noah reiterated his earlier statement, âMadam Moore, donât worry. Iâll take full responsibility for Hannah.â
Understanding his meaning, Vanessa made an âokâ gesture toward him and left the room.
During breakfast in the Moore mansionâs dining room, the only sounds were the crisp clinking of utensils and porcelain plates.
The four of them ate in silence.
Hannah kept her head down, focusing on her breakfast the entire time.
Vanessa signaled Kennedy desperately with her eyes.
Kennedy caught on and cleared his throat twice, breaking the silence.
âMr. Noah, we heard you plan to take responsibility for Hannah. What do you have in mind?â
Hannah was sipping her juice and nearly choked on it at the question.
Noah immediately helped her pat her back and handed her a tissue before answering.
âI plan to get engaged to Hannah. Sheâs the one for me.â
Vanessa and Kennedy exchanged glances and smiled at each other.
âI object,â Hannah stated firmly once she recovered from the coughing fit..
Vanessa and Kennedyâs expressions turned stern, and they both said in unison, âYour objection is invalid!â
Hannah was taken aback.
Noah respected Hannahâs opinion and wanted to know her thoughts.
âHannah, why do you object?â
Hannah replied earnestly, âNothing happened between us last night, so you donât need to take responsibility. Besides, my mom sent me into your room, and the Moore family set this up against you.â
âBut I willingly fell into the trap.â He gazed at her profile intently with an especially solemn look. âYou were in my room last night and didnât come out until this morning. Many of the Moore familyâs servants saw this, which will impact your reputation. I insisted you stay, so the responsibility should be mine.â
Hannah was taken aback.
His first concern was her reputation.
However, thinking back to their previous agreement, she felt a bit unwilling.
âYou said you were willing to pursue me for a year last time, but it hasnât been long since then, and now youâre trying to force me into an engagement. This move is a bit puzzling.
Noah replied, âGetting engaged doesnât mean Iâll stop pursuing you. In fact, Iâll continue to pursue you. I can even draft an agreement. If you ever get tired of me in the future, you can cancel the engagement with me at any time, and Iâll tell everyone that itâs my fault.â
Hannah met his gaze, stunned by the clarity in his eyes.
Meanwhile, in Svelton, it was time for Sheenaâs meticulously prepared tea party in the afternoon.
She sat in front of her vanity table, opening a jewelry box to select the lucky pieces to complete her mission.
However, the whole box of exquisite jewelry left her somewhat undecided, as most of the items in the box were gifts from Elliot.
As she struggled, intending to retrieve the brooch she had bought herself, she was suddenly embraced from behind.
Elliot rested his chin on her shoulder, his gaze fixed on the brooch she had chosen.
âItâs better to choose things that matter to you for it to be believable.â
Sheena glanced at him and asked, âWhy donât you choose for me?â
Elliot carefully inspected the contents of her jewelry box, then reached for the ruby and
diamond engagement ring he had proposed with.
He had bid 13 billion dollars on this ring, then had Sheenaâs name engraved on it.
It was hers exclusively.
âThis ring is convenient to wear and hard to find if misplaced. Itâs the most suitable.â Sheena firmly grasped his hand. âNo, this one wonât do!â
