The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

"I'm not mad!"

She was just overwhelmed.

Ronald had been waiting to hear those words: "Kari, I'm sorry about yesterday. I startled you. How about I cook you a spicy lobster dinner tonight? You've been wanting to try it for ages, and I've been learning how to make it just for you." Kari hadn't thought much of it before, but now it seemed his kindness was too much.

"Isn't your company really busy?"

How did he have time to come over every day?

"There's always time for dinner." Ronald noticed Kari seemed to be pushing him away, and felt he might be rushing things: "If you don't want to see me, I won't come tomorrow."

"Ronald, this is your home. You can come over whenever you want."

Willa said eagerly.

Kari got a stern look from Willa, felt sulky, and thought Ronald was doing it on purpose. He knew she was avoiding him but still pointed it out!

"Kari, you and Ronald grew up together. What can't you get past? Stop it, okay?"

Kari just hummed in response, her breakfast tasteless.

After breakfast, Kari grabbed her bag and left.

Ronald immediately followed.
