The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1246

Kari finally found a moment of respite.

Against all odds, Bri-jeweled Studio became a sensation across the entire Imperial City in less than a year, with Brittany offering her shares that brought in a hefty profit.

It was also during this year that Kari met Nathan.

...

Kari woke up from her dreams, glancing at Ronald who was sleeping beside her, feeling somewhat emotional.

She hadn't expected Ronald to still be alive.

Nor had she anticipated that Ronald would become the heir to the Malone family, and even less so, that they would share such a moment.

Their reunion came as she was planning her wedding with Nathan.

Ronald showed up one evening.

By then, Willa's health had stabilized. Opening the door and seeing Ronald on the doorstep, her face paled instantly.

"Bang—"

"Mom, what's wrong?" Kari, hearing the noise, poked her head out.

Just in time to meet Ronald's dark gaze.

Her hand loosened, and the spatula fell to the floor.

Ronald, in his sleek black suit, looked taller and more imposing, shedding his youthful awkwardness for an authoritative air.

Tears welled up in Willa's eyes: "Ronald?"

She never thought she'd see Ronald alive in her lifetime.

"You're still alive?"

Ronald's Adam's apple bobbed, "I came back too late."

Kari couldn't pinpoint her feelings. She didn't know whether to be happy or feel something else.

That night, Ronald stayed for dinner.
