The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart novel Chapter 1259

Ronald had settled in for a hearty dinner that evening.

As they ate, both of them tried their best to act as if nothing had happened.

But there was still an awkwardness hanging in the air.

Willa, ever so perceptive, sensed something was off. Seizing the moment when Ronald went to grab more food, she nudged Kari, "Haven't you and Ronald made up yet?"

Kari, feeling a bit helpless, replied, "Mom, we really didn't have a fight."

"Really?"

Willa was skeptical.

Kari, with a hint of exasperation, assured her, "Really."

Ronald returned with his plate, catching the tail end of their conversation, and chimed in, "Kari and I really didn't argue. We just had some disagreements, but we've come to an understanding now."

Kari immediately nodded in agreement.

Only then did Willa relax.

After dinner, Ronald suggested it was time for him to leave.

"Kari—" Willa hinted at Kari to walk him out.

"It's late, and I wouldn't feel comfortable with Kari walking back alone. No need to walk me out."

Ronald politely declined.

After he left, Willa still looked worried, "I've seen on the news that the Malone family hasn't been too kind to him. God knows how much hardship Ronald has endured over the years—"

"Mom, don't worry, he... he has his own plans," Kari felt a bit odd calling him 'brother'.

Willa started to ramble, "You and that Jarvis boy are definitely off the table. Better start looking for someone else. While I'm still young, I can help you with the kids."

Kari's head ached at the mention of marriage, "Mom, I'm not considering marriage at the moment."

Not to mention she had just gone through a breakup.

She really didn't have the energy to start a new relationship.

Willa wanted to ask if she was still hung up on Nathan, but swallowed her words at the last moment, "It’s a matter of time, just think it over."

Ronald was a man of his word.
