The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Chapter 1265

Throughout the journey, Kari's mind was swamped with concerns about Brittany. With limited information, her worries only intensified, fearing the worst might have happened. Ronald had been asleep for over an hour before he finally stirred to wakefulness.

Seeing the anxious look on her face, he asked a flight attendant for a cup of warm water. "Don't worry," he reassured her. "Ms. Lynette isn't someone who gets easily taken advantage of."

Upon her arrival in Craneville, Brittany had stayed for nearly half a year. Not only did she find her biological father, but she also changed her surname, becoming an heir to the prestigious Lynette family of Craneville. Kari tried to calm herself down.

"Hungry?"

Indeed, Kari hadn't eaten all day and felt quite hungry.

Ronald requested two meals and a cup of coffee from the flight attendant.

"Try to cut down on the coffee," he suggested.

Kari rarely touched coffee unless she was working overtime.

"Just a little, won't hurt," she replied.

Ronald generously shared his portion of meat with Kari, while taking her unwanted greens onto his plate, a gesture he performed naturally as if it had been their routine for years, despite the decade that had passed since. Kari pursed her lips, focusing on her meal.
