Kari called everyone to take their seats, "Help yourselves, guys. Lunch will be ready in no time."
Hannah's family was also in the real estate business, and Ronald's mansion was in a newly developed affluent neighborhood, worth millions.
It was said to be Ronald's personal asset.
Clearly, he was loaded.
Everyone else in the studio had brought gifts, cautiously avoiding touching anything out of place, merely chatting and sipping tea in the living room.
At noon.
Lunch officially commenced.
Kari and Ronald's culinary skills were top-notch, earning unanimous praise for the meal they prepared.
After a hearty meal, Hannah and the group lounged in the garden, soaking up the sun.
Kari whipped up a fresh juice for Hannah and handed it to her, "I heard Brittany hasn't been doing well?"
She was in Imperial City, and Brittany was all the way in Craneville. They couldn't really offer much help.
Hannah looked troubled, "Yeah."
Pregnant Hannah was advised by Derek to steer clear of these matters, but how could she just stand by?
"Take it easy, you know," Kari cautioned.
Hannah replied with a hint of frustration, "I'm tired of hearing that. The whole world keeps telling me I'm not well, but I'm just pregnant."
Ever since she got pregnant, she became the center of attention, with everyone telling her to take care of her health and the baby...
She was fed up with hearing it over and over.
Kari gently touched her belly, "Feels like we just met, and now, you're expecting."
"With you and Ronald together, marriage must be on the cards."
The mention made Kari slightly uncomfortable.
"I heard the Malone family disapproves."
