The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1251

"Kari, make sure you clock out early when Ronald gets back. We'll have a family dinner, just the three of us."

Willa was still talking about Ronald.

Kari nodded, "Sure, got it."

Ronald returned a week later. Fresh off the plane, he received a call from Kari.

"Bro, Mom made stew tonight. You coming over?"

Dressed in a sleek black trench coat, despite looking weary from travel, Ronald's innate aura of authority was unmistakable.

His assistant, noticing the softening of his expression, knew immediately who was on the line.

But his family had a dinner party planned for the evening.

"Sure."

Ronald had no intention of attending the dinner party. Spending time with Kari seemed far more appealing than wasting hours with the Malones. "I just landed, on my way now."

The assistant thought to caution him but was silenced by a stern look from Ronald.

Ronald gestured for the driver to start the car.

"Great, I'll pick up some of your favorite fruits," Kari said, relieved he was coming.

After hanging up, Kari shouted towards the kitchen, "Mom, Bro's landed. I'm off to get some fruit, take care."

"Alright, dear."

Willa responded, then heard the door close.

"That child, always in such a hurry!"

Knowing Ronald's discerning taste, Kari headed to a high-end grocery store for some fruits and then stopped by a deli for some charcuterie, thinking it would be nice to have while watching shows in the evening.

Entering the complex, Kari spotted Nathan Jarvis waiting downstairs.

"What are you doing here?"

Nathan had come by a few times, hoping for reconciliation.

"Kari, I just want to talk," Nathan's voice quivered, finding it hard to accept their separation. "Give me some time—"

"Nathan, there's nothing left to discuss."

Kari did have feelings for Nathan, or they wouldn't have been talking marriage.
