Averi was wrapping her bathrobe around her body. The straps hadn’t been fastened yet, and the beautiful scenery just made River see it thoroughly.
River’s eyes changed slightly, and he closed the door with his backhand, but he didn’t come over in a hurry.
As soon as Averi saw his eyes, she unconsciously became nervous.
Last night and this morning, under River’s gaze, she was so bullied that she passed out.
Averi didn’t dare to repeat yesterday.
She quickly tied up the belt of her nightgown, and wrapped herself tightly. Her beautiful eyes looked at
River defensively, as if she was afraid that he would pounce on her.
River laughed, but thought of teasing her.
He came over, grabbed Averi with his long arm, and said, “Honey, you really surprised me.”
At the moment when River bowed his head and was about to kiss her, Averi suddenly raised her hand to cover River’s mouth.
She said anxiously, “Camdyn told us to go over. He is waiting for us.”
River raised his eyebrows, but he forgot that his wife was close friends with Aimee and Matilda.
Suddenly he felt a little embarrassed.
Averi looked at River and asked suspiciously, “What’s the matter? Don’t you want to go there?”
River said, “The relation between me and the Hayden family is quite delicate.”
Averi was naturally aware of this, smiled coquettishly, and said, “Then what to do? You should be very clear the relationship between me and Aimee and Matilda is impossible for us to separate.”
These words made River a little angry.
He squeezed Averi’s waist and said, “Believe it or not, I’ll call him now, so we don’t have to go there.”
For what reason, River didn’t need to explain, and Averi understood.
She immediately raised her hand to surrender and said quickly, “Don’t. I’m wrong, okay? You can go with me.”
River found out. When facing Averi, he really couldn’t stand her begging for mercy so softly. When she acted like a baby, let alone accompany her to Hayden’s Mansion, even undergoing the most severe trials, he probably wouldn’t hesitate.
Sighing lightly, River said, “Then you pack up first, and I’ll prepare something.”
Averi nodded obediently, and got out of River’s arms. Before entering the bathroom, she still asked, “Do you want to take Beata with you?”
“It’s up to you,” River said.
Hayden’s Mansion.
Camdyn sat on the sofa, looking at the juniors happily.
After a while Averi and River arrived, so he had another pair of juniors who had already married.
He just felt so great.
But, thinking of something suddenly, Camdyn let out a long sigh.
Patrick raised his eyebrows. Although he had already thought of what Camdyn was sighing, he still asked deliberately, “Grandpa, what’s wrong?”
Camdyn looked at Patrick and said, “Amir is left alone now.”
“Grandpa, don’t worry about him. He dares not come to your place.” Eden bit an apple, still looking foolish.
Mentioning this made Camdyn deflated.
If it was someone else, he could also help arrange a blind date.
However, Amir was simply too difficult to deal with.
When other girls wanted to understands Amir’s character, he didn’t give them a chance at all, which was really worrying.
“Grandpa, don’t worry about it,” Walter said, “Look at us. We didn’t seem like we could get married before, and now we all have done it. This is a matter of fate. When it’s Amir’s fate, it will naturally happen.”
How could Camdyn not understand this truth.
However, this principle was suitable for others, but not for Amir.
Camdyn said, “He has to meet people. Amir only spends time with his little animals every day. There is not even a living person around him. Let alone marrying a woman, he can’t even find a guy.”
“Grandpa, you know homo. You are too pioneering.” Eden gave a thumbs up to Camdyn, and he was so impressed.
Camdyn glared at him who regarded him as an ignorant old man. He knew something new, and there was nothing strange about it.
“Anyway, I don’t care. You can’t be happy on your own, and just forget about Amir. You have to think about him a little bit, and don’t leave him alone. It’s pitiful.” Camdyn said.
Everyone nodded in agreement, but they had no solution to the problem at hand. Just as Camdyn had said, Amir only cared about his small animals and even his friends were not to be disturbed unless it was for something important. Only when Camdyn called him would he leave his animal sanctuary.
Now, with Camdyn urging him to find a partner, Amir wouldn’t even come when called. They couldn’t just send women over to him either. Not only was it unlikely to succeed, but they could all end up on a blacklist.
So there was no use in being anxious about the situation. Fortunately, Camdyn remembered this issue and brought it up now that Averi and River had arrived at the mansion.
As Averi walked into Hayden’s Mansion holding hands with River, she couldn’t help but feel both amused and exasperated by what she saw – everyone seemed like they were watching a circus act.
River leaned down towards her ear and whispered, “This is the first time I’ve ever felt like we’re in a zoo.”
Averi replied, “If it were just me alone, I don’t think I could create such an effect.”
River knew he bore some responsibility for this spectacle too. Although he hadn’t been on bad terms with these people before now – far from allies though – he wondered why everyone seemed so eager for drama today.
Miles and Matilda’s expressions towards River were especially complicated. After all they’d nearly come close to killing each other before. But whatever their emotions may be right now, it didn’t matter much anymore.
Averi and River approached Camdyn respectfully as elders should be treated. For River especially though, Camdyn wasn’t just any elder. There was history between them that went back years ago when he used to call him grandpa affectionately while catching grasshoppers together as kids.
“Back then you used to cling onto me calling me grandpa,” Camdyn reminisced while looking up-and-
down at River. “I can’t believe more than twenty years have passed since then.”
River had vivid memories of his childhood, and he felt a lot of emotions as he thought back on them.
“I’m sorry I haven’t been able to come see you,” he said.
It was rare to see River like this. Everyone knew it was just an excuse, but time had a way of changing things that couldn’t be helped. They never would have imagined that they could have the kind of relationship they did with River now.
After Averi and River arrived, it wasn’t long before dinner was ready. Averi felt a little embarrassed because they were really just waiting for the two of them to come eat. River was more at ease, sitting next to Camdyn whom he talked with the whole time.
Matilda nudged Aimee’s arm and asked in a low voice, “It looks like grandpa and River are familiar with each other?”
Aimee was also very puzzled about this and shook her head, saying, “I’m not sure.”
Camdyn had never mentioned River before, and even Patrick had never brought him up to her.
Matilda sighed lightly, saying, “This world is really mysterious. I never thought that Averi would end up with him.”
Aimee laughed, saying, “It’s fate. It’s wonderful.”
After finishing dinner, Camdyn went back to his room to rest. Lately he had been going to bed earlier but there were no problems found during his medical check-up, so everyone worried about him unnecessarily.
However there were several doctors in the house so they knew that everything would be fine.
After Camdyn went off to rest, Eden couldn’t sit still any longer and said directly, “Since we’re all here today, why don’t we go out for another round?”
Minnie helplessly looked at Eden, wondering if he’d gone crazy from being cooped up too long?
Everyone didn’t have any objections, so they left together from Hayden’s Mansion, heading towards their usual club hangout spot.
The most excited person naturally was Casey, because she hadn’t gone out for fun in a very long time since becoming pregnant. At first she wasn’t feeling well physically, so she didn’t have any interest in playing around either. But, later on Kelvin kept an eye on her, afraid that she might fall or bump into something which made her feel extremely stifled.
Now that they finally came out, Casey wanted nothing more than let loose completely, but reality proved much harsher than expected, because compared to Aimee, she couldn’t keep up at all! She only sang two songs before feeling hoarse already!
Sitting down next Kelvin after returning, Casey complained pitifully, “I feel like such a newbie right now.”
Kelvin patted her head reassuringly, saying, “No, you won’t be, once it comes out.”
Casey leaned against Kelvin’s chest while placing one hand on top of her stomach when suddenly she felt something kick against the palm of her hand!
Her entire body stiffened as it took awhile for what happened just now sink in!
Kelvin noticed her absent-mindedness and asked suspiciously, “What’s wrong, baby?”
Casey looked up at Kelvin and swallowed hard, then screamed, “Ah!!!!!!”
This voice scared everyone in the entire private room. Everyone turned to look at Casey in unison, even Eden who was singing was startled and dropped the microphone on the ground.
“What’s wrong?” everyone asked in a flurry.
Seeing Casey’s expression, it didn’t seem like they would get an answer from her, so they all turned to look at Kelvin.
However, Kelvin was also confused and bewildered at the moment, with a look of confusion on his face. Casey laughed for a while before finally calming down. Then, she looked at everyone and pointed to her stomach, saying, “The baby kicked me.”
This was her first time since being pregnant.
This little guy was killing her. She couldn’t sleep or eat, so she wanted to pull it out and teach it a lesson.
Who would have thought that, all of a sudden, her baby would give her such a response.
Casey’s eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face with a pitter-patter sound. As a mother, the feeling was really different.
As soon as Casey said this, even Kelvin was stunned.
He stared at Casey blankly, as if he had been fixed in place by something and couldn’t move at all.
Tilly had approached, looking like she wanted to touch but was a little hesitant.
After a few moments of probing, Casey grabbed her hand and put it on her stomach.
