The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 934

Kane glanced over, his eyes accidentally meeting Ramona's. She quickly looked down, her eyes brimming with unshed tears.

He pressed his lips and, grabbing a handful of mini pancakes, walked over to her. "My mom's mini pancakes are killer. You should try some," he said, offering her the sweet comfort.

Ramona felt a lump in her throat, and a single tear splashed down onto her cheek.

"I'm sorry..."

"Hey, no tears, okay? If someone sees, they might think I'm the bad guy here. I've forgiven you already," Kane said, placing the pancakes beside her before returning to his desk.

Tears welled in Ramona's eyes. She knew Kane had forgiven her but also acknowledged that their relationship would forever be altered.. They couldn't be best friends again because best friends don't hurt each other. Vivian glanced at Ramona, sensing something was off. Usually, Ramona would join them, sharing mini pancakes and laughter.

But they all had their secrets, and Vivian knew better than to pry.

Skyler was happily munching on the mini pancakes Aurelia had given him in the teachers' lounge. Everyone agreed Angel made the best pancakes in town.

The foreign language teacher, Joanna, approached. She was a stunningly beautiful woman of mixed heritage, and to the surprise of many, she was still single.

"Mr. Heninger, care to join me for lunch?" she asked.

"Sorry, Ms. Joanna, I've got plans to eat at home," Skyler replied firmly. Lately, he'd been having lunch at Blossom Villa, and Jolin had promised to make his favorite beefsteak. He couldn't wait to get home.

A hint of disappointment flickered across Joanna's face. "Maybe some other time, then."

As she walked away, the vice principal, Hammer, chuckled. "Mr. Heninger, a man your age, should consider settling down. Joanna's quite a catch. Why not give it a shot?"

Skyler made a face. He was still a kid at heart, not ready for romance. Early love was not on his agenda.
