The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1071

Things were escalating, and Kari was already used to the roller coaster that was her life. In fact, she was enjoying every bit of it.

"I could really go for some apple pie right now," Kari announced with a playful tone.

Ronald chuckled softly, "Sure thing."

He ordered from a five-star restaurant, making his way into another suite before returning in a casual gray robe.

After her bath, Kari slipped into her pajamas and found Ronald lounging on the couch, his robe slightly open, revealing a hint of his toned chest. He seemed preoccupied with his tablet, brows furrowed in concentration.

"What are you up to?" she asked, still calling him by the affectionate nickname she'd gotten used to.

Ronald didn't mind it. He glanced up from his tablet, "Come here."

Kari walked over, yawning as Ronald pulled her into his embrace. "You're working on some documents?"

"Yeah, just some minor things." Ronald, now the heir to the Malone dynasty, had his hands full with family affairs, though he rarely burdened Kari with these matters.

He switched off the tablet, wrapping his arms around her. "We're heading back to Imperial City in three days. Maybe you should say goodbye to Ms. Lynette?"

"Brittany?" Kari had been so caught up in their vacation bubble that she was oblivious to the turmoil back in Craneville.

"Seems like Brittany's been quite busy. I'll check with her."

"She's getting engaged," Ronald mentioned casually, as if it was just another event.

"Engaged? To whom, and when did this happen?"

Brittany had mentioned having someone special, but engagement seemed rather sudden.

"To a member of the royal family. Prince Eltham."
