Chapter 1210

Brittany and Hannah were already fast asleep, but Kari, restless and troubled, was wide awake. Hearing Ronald's voice on the phone took her by surprise. "You're done with work?" "Come downstairs."

Kari blinked in confusion. "I'm not at home."

"Wait for me."

Without bothering to change out of her pajamas, Kari threw on a coat and tiptoed down the stairs, only to bump into Isaac.

"Mr. Salter, you're still up?"

Considering the hour, she had assumed Isaac would be asleep.

"Just finished a meeting." Isaac, clad in loungewear, noticed Kari's outfit and frowned slightly. "What's this about?"

"Ah... -"
