Johnathan didn’t dig deeper—it wasn’t worth crossing family lines. He only knew what everyone else in the business world knew.
River gave a soft laugh. “Yeah, we’re rivals in business, but that’s just business. Outside of work, there’s no real hatred. I think things can change. Honestly, I admire her—and I think she admires me too. When business isn’t on the table, we get along well. She’s one of a kind, Johnathan. I’d be a fool to let her slip away.”
He added with quiet determination, “Yantail’s shifting strategies. In business, there are no permanent enemies.”
Johnathan nodded slowly, impressed. “The York men really are relentless when it comes to love. If Romina let you come along on this trip, she’s not pushing you away. When you two tie the knot, make sure I get an invite—I want a front-row seat and some wedding wine.”
River grinned. “Deal. When that day comes, you’ll get the first invitation, Brother Johnathan.”
Johnathan smirked. “My sister and her family are at your estate now, right? I heard she planned to stay at Wildridge Manor for a few days before heading here.”
He didn’t sound upset that his sister Jane had taken the kids to Wiltspoon instead of Meadspring for summer break.
