Poor Janitor Single Dad Saved an 8-Year-Old From a Sinking Bus — Unaware Her Mom Was a Billionaire
Chapter 13
Daniel proposed on a quiet Sunday afternoon.
There was no diamond worth a fortune.
Just a ring he chose himself.
They were sitting in the backyard while the girls played.
He held out the box.
Elena stared.
“You didn’t plan this.”
“I did.”
“You’re terrible at hiding things.”
“I learned from the best.”
She laughed.
He took her hand.
“I don’t want to become part of your company.”
She smiled.
“Good.”
“I don’t want your money.”
“I know.”
“I don’t want your name.”
She looked at him.
“I want you.”
Her eyes filled with tears.
“That’s dangerous.”
“I know.”
She looked toward the girls.
They were watching.
Sophie whispered to Lily.
“He hasn’t asked yet.”
Lily whispered back.
“He’s taking too long.”
Elena laughed.
“Did you know about this?”
“Apparently.”
She returned her attention to Daniel.
“Yes.”
He smiled.
The girls cheered.
For the first time, Elena’s billions felt irrelevant.
She had everything she needed.
A man who chose her.
Children who trusted her.
A home filled with laughter.
That was enough.
