River could see through her nervousness and remembered some of her previous actions which led him to guess what was going through her mind without having to ask any further questions.
He found it both amusing and helpless that his little sister would even consider such things about him.
He wondered how he appeared in Beata’s eyes for her even think about such matters.
Suddenly curious as ever before, River wanted know whether or not Beata actually liked Averi or if there were ulterior motives behind it all.
It was ironic because he had always been wary of Averi using their relationship with each other for personal gain but now it seemed like someone else had their own agenda – his very younger sibling!
Was there anything more absurd than this situation right now?
River was beyond speechless.
Beata, still feeling guilty, didn’t notice that River had seen through all of her little schemes and thoughts.
She pretended to take a deep breath and coughed lightly before saying, “River, if you have any ideas or thoughts, you can tell me. I’m your sister after all and I’ll always be on your side.”
Although Beata didn’t dare to reveal her own thoughts to River, it didn’t stop her from trying to peek into his mind.
If they could work together as a team, then she could be the perfect assistant for him.
With such a powerful ally by his side, how could he not need her help?
However, it turned out that River really didn’t need her at all.
River said bluntly, “Just mind your own business. My affairs are none of your concern.”
Beata was speechless.
Hmph! She refused to believe that she wouldn’t be needed by her arrogant brother when he finally asked for help.
She wanted to see how he would win over Averi with such an unpleasant personality.
Beata raised her chin slightly and snorted softly.
They would just have to wait and see.
Sitting back on the couch again made Beata feel like she was floating on cloud nine.
She felt like in a past life she must have been an angel loved by everyone. Otherwise why would everything seem so easy this time around?
She was thrilled at the idea of having Averi become her sister-in-law because if Averi started dating
River, then it meant that he really did have feelings for her – even though he stubbornly refused to admit it!
Of course there was also the possibility that Averi wasn’t interested in him at all but regardless of what happened next.
Beata’s heart swelled with joy just thinking about it.
Beaming with excitement while holding onto her phone tightly in both hands, Beata couldn’t resist wondering what might be wrong with Averi? It was already 7 pm yet she still hadn’t woken up!
After some hesitation, Beata decided to go check on Averi’s condition in their room.
She had already slept for twelve or thirteen hours straight, which seemed unusual even for someone who liked sleeping as much as Averi did.
Walking over towards the window sill, Beata hesitated briefly before calling out softly, “Averi… Averi…
wake up.”
If Averi continued to sleep like this, Beata was worried that something would go wrong.
Averi clearly hadn’t woken up yet and rolled over, wanting to continue sleeping.
Beata felt that this couldn’t go on any longer. So she decided that no matter what, she had to wake
Averi up.
“Averi, Averi, there’s a flood! If you don’t get up soon, your house will be flooded!” Beata exclaimed.
However, Averi ignored her.
“Averi, Averi! Five cats ran out of the house!” Beata said urgently.
Still no response from Averi.
“Averi! My stomach hurts so much,” Beata cried out in a trembling voice as if in real pain.
Finally, there was some reaction from Averi. She opened her eyes and looked at Beata groggily for a while before remembering that they were sleeping together and that Beata was sick.
Averi sat up suddenly and rubbed her eyes before asking, “Beata? Are you okay? Where does it hurt?”
Beata immediately straightened herself up and spoke normally again, “Averi, I’m fine. It’s just really hard to wake you up.”
Averi knew she must have been in deep sleep after staying awake all night long. Feeling embarrassed about it, she said apologetically, “I’m sorry about that, Beata. I always have trouble waking up when I sleep.”
Beata expressed surprise, saying, “Averi! You’ve slept for twelve or thirteen hours already. Doesn’t your head hurt?”
Averi shook her head saying, “The longest time I’ve ever slept is twenty-three hours.”
This shocked Beata beyond words. How could anyone possibly sleep so much?
“Are you scared?” asked Averi who was now fully awake with clear mind
At this point, Beata wasn’t worried anymore but hungry instead. She replied saying, “I’m good now,
Averi. Healthy as can be. But, honestly speaking, I am quite hungry.”
Feeling apologetic once again, Averi offered, “I’m sorry, Beata. Do you want me to order food or we can go outside? Just give me a minute while I change my clothes.”
“No, my brother is here, and the food has already been brought.” Beata said.
Averi’s body froze, and after a while, she looked at Beata suspiciously, and asked uncertainly, “Is your brother here?”
“Yes, he came here in the afternoon. I was planning to have dinner in the afternoon, but I didn’t expect that you would sleep until now.” Beata said.
Averi really didn’t know how to react.
At this moment, she was like a child who was at a loss, not knowing whether she should go out or not.
He came in the afternoon, and it was three or four hours he had waited after she woke up.
Averi felt ashamed of herself.
Beata was very happy, held Averi’s hand, and said, “Averi, let’s go out to eat, but it may need to be heated. I don’t know how to do it.”
Averi said, “I’ll do it. Can you go out to accompany your brother first? I’ll come over after changing clothes.”
Beata nodded, and went out obediently.
After Beata left the room, Averi fell down on the bed.
What was the matter?
Why can’t she understand the current development?
Averi really wanted to cry.
How could there be such a shameful thing.
However, Averi didn’t delay, took a few deep breaths, washed her face, tied her hair in a bun, changed into decent clothes, and left the room.
However, she still overestimated herself after all, and Averi almost turned around and went back into the room when she met River’s gaze.
Because, she clearly saw the banter in River’s eyes.
Averi allowed herself to ignore River’s gaze, and said with a generous smile, “I’m going to heat up the food. Mr. Knight, just wait a moment.”
Beata happily followed Averi, and accompanied her to the kitchen.
After heating up the meals one by one, the three of them sat at the dining table and began to eat.
Averi was so focused on eating that she didn’t give River a look at all.
Beata looked at River, then at Averi, finally, couldn’t help biting the fork, and said, “Averi, you call me
Beata, so close. Why do you call my brother Mr. Knight, so distant. Sounds strange.”
Averi was speechless.
Now she seriously felt that Beata was not cute at all.
River was also very speechless about his sister’s words.
However, he was very curious about how Averi would respond.
Feeling the two pairs of eyes on her face, Averi knew she couldn’t avoid the question.
She swallowed the food in her mouth and looked at Beata, saying, “But originally I was only close to you, Beata.”
Beata pouted and seemed very disappointed.
She said, “But Averi, I consider you as family. Like my own sister. Isn’t it strange that my real brother and sister don’t know each other well?”
Both Averi and River were struck dumb.
Averi really wanted to shut Beata’s mouth.
She picked up a piece of broccoli and put it in Beata’s bowl, saying,” Aren’t you hungry? Let’s eat first okay?”
This way of changing the subject was so clumsy that Averi heard River laugh unreservedly.
Averi didn’t know what to say now.
It was really hard for her to control her temper now.
