The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Kari breathed a sigh of relief when Willa agreed to the engagement, "Mom, thanks for your support."

"Ronald is a good kid, I know him inside and out, he'll treat you right."

Before they got together, Willa had seen all the nice things Ronald did for Kari.

Now that they were together, Ronald would only be more devoted. With a soulmate by her side, Kari felt at peace, as if she could walk through hell itself without fear. Ronald lingered in the kitchen for a good fifteen minutes before he came out.

The family enjoyed a lively dinner before Ronald had to leave.

Kari walked him out.

"I'm so glad Willa didn't object, it means the world to me," Ronald said, holding her hand with a smile that reached his eyes.

Kari felt a pang of reluctance, "Why don't you just move in?"Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.

After all, he had stayed over more than once before.

Ronald was tempted to agree but feared the gossip that might hurt Kari.

"It's different now that we're dating. I'm worried about what people might say."

Gossip, after all, could be a deadly weapon.

Having just made their relationship official, Kari couldn't bear to be apart from Ronald, clinging to him, "Ronald."

Ronald led Kari to the parking lot, and as soon as they got into the car, he leaned over her.

"Ronald-"

His desire for her was intense, his hot lips pressing against her ear, his hand slipping under her shirt with delicate caresses.

Kari, lost in the moment, clung to his neck, "We're still in the parking lot..."

She was quite shy about these matters.

Ronald's breathing grew heavier, "Let's find a time to get engaged, then you can move in."

Kari felt overwhelmed by his kisses, her legs turning to jelly, "What about my mom-"

"I'll talk to Willa."

Ronald couldn't stand being away from Kari for even a second. He wanted to be with her all the time.

Kari felt the same.

"Okay."

Mindful of Kari's bashfulness,

After a few more kisses at the elevator door, Kari reluctantly entered the elevator.

Ronald went home, and after his nightly routine, he texted Kari.

Have you showered yet?!

Yes, I'm chatting with mom now.

Ronald didn't reply further, not wanting to intrude on their mother-daughter time.

Kari told Willa about her plans to get engaged to Ronald, and Willa happily agreed, "Getting engaged is wonderful, and I've known Ronald long enough to vouch for his character. But will the Malones agree?"

A family like the Malones was indeed a reach.

It seemed unlikely they would easily consent to the engagement.

Kari was unsure, but she trusted Ronald's promise to marry her.

"Mom, he said he'll handle the Malones."

Willa had no objections to the marriage, "Then I need to start preparing your dowry."

At the mention of a dowry, Kari blushed, "Mom, it's still early."

Willa chuckled at her daughter's coy demeanor, "Not really, it's almost time."

Out of consideration for Willa, they rarely spent nights outside.

Except for weekends, Kari would visit Ronald's place, with occasional sleepovers.

Willa was aware and turned a blind eye, understanding the passions of young love from her own youth.

One weekend, Ronald took Kari back to the Malone family estate.
