Ronald had been comforting her for a while.
"Kari just went through a tough breakup, she's not in the best place right now. Try to relax, everything will be alright," Ronald reassured her.
Wiping away her tears, Willa confessed, "I really liked Nathan, but he shouldn't have been a part of the Jarvis family—"
Ronald knew all too well that beneath Willa's gentle and virtuous exterior lay a remarkably stubborn spirit.
After Kari's father passed away, many tried to set Willa up with someone new, but all were turned away.
Willa truly loved her husband; how could she easily let go of the man who had been taken from her?
"I know you're worried about me," Willa acknowledged Ronald's concerns. "But rest assured, I'll take good care of myself."
Ronald stayed with Willa for some time, helping her recuperate. Unable to bear seeing Kari overwhelmed with work, Willa decided it was time to go back home.
It was also inappropriate for Ronald to continue staying at Kari's, so he moved out the same day.
Before leaving, Willa prepared a hearty meal as a token of gratitude.
"Ronald, you've been such a big help during this time."
Taking care of her and looking after Kari wasn't easy.
"It's the least I could do," Ronald replied with a gentle smile.
After dinner, Willa retired to her room.
Kari escorted Ronald downstairs, "Bro, thanks for looking after Mom and me these past weeks."
Shaking his head, Ronald was about to respond when he was suddenly shoved aside, and a furious voice erupted.
"Kari, you kick my son to the curb and then shack up with some random guy?!"
Mila was livid, "The nerve of you—"
Kari, disgusted, shot back, "Watch your mouth, Mila!"
