The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 798

“No, save your money, sweetheart. There will be plenty for you to spend it on in the future.”

Willa did not wish to burden her daughter Kari, nor did she want to be an unnecessary expense. “Get some rest, dear,” she said, and she drifted to sleep

soon after.

After Willa was asleep, Kari quietly left.

She ventured into another room. “Brittany, are you awake?” She asked, knocking lightly on Brittany’s door.

Brittany had been expecting her, “Come in,” she said.

Kari entered, closing the door behind her. She checked it twice before she allowed her shoulders to relax. There was something soothing about the silence that filled the room.

Brittany poured her a warm glass of milk. “What’s wrong?” She asked, noting Kari’s troubled expression.

Kari shook her head, accepting the milk. She took a small sip before saying, “Brittany, tomorrow…”

“Still nervous?” Brittany interrupted. The sight of Kari’s pale face was all the answer she needed. “Relax, Kari. You and Nathan haven’t been together long, but you know how well he treats you. And now that you’re getting married, nothing will change: Your life will only improve.”
