Kari stepped through the door, her face lit up with curiosity.

"I might have gone a bit heavy on the chili in tonight's spicy crab dish. Didn't want you to find out," Willa quickly gathered her thoughts.

Kari let out a chuckle, "That's perfect, I've been really into spicy food lately."

The mother-daughter duo headed to the kitchen, while Ronald stood in the living room, his gaze lowered.

At dinner, Kari devoured the meal with gusto.

Kari was overjoyed, thinking she hit the jackpot with the extra serving of crab.

After a hearty meal, Kari went back to her room to shower.

"Ronald, you need to focus on your studies. The SATs are right around the corner. Don't let this mess with your head."

Willa was aware of Ronald's deep thoughts and didn't want his performance affected.

Ronald remained silent.
