Ronald couldn't believe Kari was bold enough to do this. His Adam's apple bobbed, and his voice cout hoarse:
"Do you realize what you're asking, proposing right now? Do you know what this means?"
"lI do."
Kari's eyes were filled with determination. "I'll be by your side for life, love you as | do now, forever, and never leave you."
Ronald's eyes reddened.
As he looked down, a tear dropped to the ground, blossoming into a radiant flower.
He reached out, taking the ring: "Okay."
He pulled her into his embrace, his voice breaking as he kissed her, trembling uncontrollably, "Kari, you can't leaveever
again."
Kari wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Okay."
Her voice was strong and clear.

The very next morning.
The couple headed to the city hall. The moment the official stamp hit their marriage license, Kari instinctively looked at Ronald.
Their eyes met.
Ronald carefully held the marriage license in his hands, his gaze filled with tenderness.
Fresh off the press, Kari posted on Facebook.
Ronald rarely shared his personal life online.
But today, he made an exception and posted on Facebook, "Moon has captured my heart."
The post featured their marriage license and a picture of their hands intertwined, the diamond ring sparkling on their fingers.
Within minutes of the post, Hannah called:
"Kari, did you and Ronald get married?"
Kari, glancing at Ronald who was driving, smiled broadly: "Yes."
"Congratulations!"
Hannah congratulated genuinely, "When's the wedding? | need to be the first to know!"
"We haven't set a date yet."
"That's fine, you lovebirds enjoy your ttogether. Let's catch up in a few days."
Nothing made her happier than seeing her daughter well-settled.
Willa nodded, taking the marriage license back to her room, probably to share this happiness with her late husband.
That night, Willa indulged in a rare glass of wine, her eyes red as she handed Kari a bankbook.
"Kari, this is the dowry I've saved for you. You and Ronald take good care of each other."
Kari's eyes also filled with tears: "Thank you, Mom."
Sharing such joyous news wasn't just limited to family and close friends; Kari also shared it with her studio.
Meanwhile.
The Malone family, upon hearing the news, disowned Ronald!
The Malone family left with nothing!

Kari rushed to Ronald's side as soon as she heard: "Ronald, are you okay?"
Ronald appeared calm, not as upset as she had imagined, rather there was an indescribable sense of relief: "I'm okay."
He paused: "I'm good."
Kari thought he was just putting on a brave face, "It's okay, I'm not short of money, | can take care of you!"
Ronald chuckled, "Alright then, Mrs. Malone, thank you for your hard work."
Ronald truly began to enjoy his days off, busying himself with taking care of Kari.
He even started delivering meals every day, and soon, the entire stuknew about their blissful newlywed life.
Just then, Brittany returned.
Upon hearing the news, Kari immediately took Ronald to the airport—
At the airport, as Brittany saw them together, she guessed they were married and offered her congratulations.
During a meal together, with Ronald having been disowned, Isaac's gaze turned awkward.
It seemed he hadn't expected Ronald to be left without a fallback.
