The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Ronald had settled in for a hearty dinner that evening.

As they ate, both of them tried their best to act as if nothing had happened.

But there was still an awkwardness hanging in the air.

Willa, ever so perceptive, sensed something was off. Seizing the moment when Ronald went to grab more food, she nudged Kari, "Haven't you and Ronald made up yet?"

Kari, feeling a bit helpless, replied, "Mom, we really didn't have a fight."

"Really?"

Willa was skeptical.

Kari, with a hint of exasperation, assured her, "Really."

Ronald returned with his plate, catching the tail end of their conversation, and chimed in, "Kari and I really didn't argue. We just had some disagreements, but we've come to an understanding now." Kari immediately nodded in agreement.

Only then did Willa relax.

After dinner, Ronald suggested it was time for him to leave.
