GoodNovelKari blinked in surprise, "Bro, this looks like a romantic diner." An iconic lovers' diner.
Famous for its high prices.
And most notably, the top-floor suites offered a panoramic view of the entire Imperial City.
Kari had heard of this diner, especially after Brittany cback from a date there, raving about the cheesecake that had put half of Imperial City's dessert shops to shame.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Is that a problem?" Kari thought about it and realized she was overthinking. Who said romantic diners were only for couples? "Sure." Ronald's lips curved into a smile, just as he noted, "Willa'sing out." "Willa, Kari and I are heading out for dinner, you-" "I'll pass." Willa had been running errands all morning and was tired, "It's getting late; I'll head hto rest. You two enjoy." Ronald nodded, "I'll make a quick stop at the Malone family estate, see you tonight." Kari got into the car, watching Ronald drive away.
"Kari, your brother's hardly home, and we're not short on cash now. Make sure you order sgood dishes tonight." "Mom, I got it." Kari rarely frequented upscale diners, even now that she was financially independent. She was still instinctively frugal. The mother-daughter duo had porridge for lunch, and Kari had booked a table in advance.
She was looking forward to the diner's reputedly excellent cuisine.
She slipped into a peach-colored dress, applied light makeup, and even dug out the heels and purse Brittany had gifted her last year, ready to head out looking her best.
Arriving at the diner, Ronald hadn't yet shown up.
She ordered a coffee, sipping it while she waited.
The diner wasn't crowded, a cellist played softly in the background, the haunting melody captivating Kari.
After nearly an hour, she heard footsteps.
"Sorry, the old man needed me, I got held up." Ronald rushed in, surprised to see Kari all dolled up, a vision of loveliness! Sparkling eyes, radiant smile.
Her hair was pulled back, exposing her fair neck and a clover necklace that highlighted her perfect collarbone. "Bro." Kari smiled, "It's okay." Ronald took his seat.

And with the diner's reputation for delicious food, she wasn't going to miss this chance.
Kari waspletely at ease, striking various poses for the camera.
Then, from another table, a gaze lingered on them before its owner approached.
"Mr. Malone, dining here with your girlfriend?" Hearing the word "girlfriend," Kari's expression shifted, instinctively looking towards Ronald. Ronald pocketed his phone, facing the neer.
"Lilith." Turns out, the "urgent matter" Ronald mentioned was a blind date.
Realizing this, Kari's anticipation for the lavish meal instantly vanished.
Ronald hadn't expected Lilith to be here, much less to provoke the situation.
