The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Kari was taken aback.

"Bro, you got someone special now?"

Lilith gave Kari a meaningful look, "Mr. Malone, I hope your dreams come true."

After Lilith left, Kari turned to Ronald: "Bro, you've fallen for someone? Who is it? How serious is it? Whose daughter is she-"

Seeing Kari not jealous but instead full of curiosity, Ronald sighed, "Kari, the timing's not right yet."

Kari had just gone through a breakup; Ronald wasn't the type to take advantage of that.

Kari felt a bit disappointed: "Alright then."

The restaurant truly had an amazing vibe, and halfway through the meal, Kari got up to head to the restroom, and coincidentally ran into Lilith. "What's your deal with Ronald?"

Lilith was quite taken with Ronald. Despite being a child born out of wedlock, he was extremely favored in the Malone family. If he were to inherit the Malone family's fortune, her own family stood to benefit greatly. Unfortunately, Ronald was not keen on following family arrangements.

"He's my brother."

Kari instinctively didn't like Lilith, feeling uneasy about her superior attitude.

"Ronald has a sister?"

Lilith's smile turned peculiar.

"Not by blood."

Kari moved towards the sink: "We grew up together."

I see.

Lilith's gaze subtly swept over Kari.

Slender yet curvaceous, with a face that wasn't stunning but definitely had its charm.

Lilith raised an eyebrow: "Have you met the one Ronald likes?"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

"No."

Kari found Lilith rather odd: "If you're so curious, you might as well ask him directly."

Why bother asking her?

Reading Kari's barely concealed irritation, Lilith, quick-witted as ever, seemed to grasp something, her gaze mixing with amusement: "I think I might know who Ronald is into."

Kari was skeptical: "Really?"

Wasn't Lilith just probing?

How did she figure it out so quickly?

Leaning in, Lilith whispered, "Sometimes the things we seek are closer than they seem."

Kari abruptly turned off the tap: "Lilith, don't talk nonsense!"

Her face darkened instantly.

Full of displeasure.

"Ronald is like a real brother to me, it's impossible for him to see me in that way." Kari grabbed a paper towel to dry her hands, feeling played by Lilith: "I'm leaving first."

Watching her leave, Lilith clicked her tongue.

Back at her seat, Kari couldn't shake off Lilith's words.

Bro, into her?

Impossible.

After all these years apart, Ronald's

for her was just because of the past, right? How could there be any other feelings?

Disturbed, Kari's pace of eating slowed.

"What's wrong?"

Ronald noticed her unease, thinking she didn't like the food: "Not good?"

"No, it's not that."

Kari immediately snapped back to reality, forcing a smile: "It's delicious, I'm just full."

Kari put down her fork and knife.

Ronald was also nearly done.

"I'll go pay."

"No need."

Ronald stopped Kari: "I've already taken care of it."

He paused: "Consider this meal as my way to return the favor."

Kari disagreed: "But I said it was my treat."

Ronald collected her bag and coat, standing tall: "I know."

"Seeing place, I've

Ronald's gentle gaze made Kari's heart flutter.

Lilith's words invaded her thoughts again. Could it be, did Bro really have feelings for her?

That speculation crossed her mind, and in a moment of panic, Kari grabbed her bag and fled!
