He wasn’t sure if he was a good person or someone worth trusting completely, but something must have gone wrong for River to think Averi who did not to want to marry him anymore.
Averi wasn’t aware of how much her words affected River’s thoughts as she spent some time getting ready before finally leaving the room.
She felt a bit shy about her appearance as it was quite revealing compared to what she usually wore around him. However, she didn’t care at this point and knocked on his door patiently, waiting for him to answer it himself instead of barging in like usual.
After waiting for what felt like forever, River finally opened the door. His eyes darkened upon seeing her standing there, looking so alluringly vulnerable. She was wrapped up in just a bathrobe that barely covered anything important while holding something behind her back.
A blush crept onto Averi’s cheeks under his intense gaze as she fidgeted nervously with her robe saying softly “Aren’t you going let me come inside?”
The robe may have been meant more so that nothing would be exposed. But, it ended up making things worse instead of better, because now it seemed like there might be something hidden underneath. That made both of them feel awkward about being alone together without any distractions or barriers between them.
Averi hadn’t felt that way before, but now she felt it more strongly as the River watched.
Not daring to look into River’s eyes, she lowered her lashes and said, “If you don’t want me inside, I can leave… I just wanted give you something.”
With that said, Averi took out a box from the pocket of the bathrobe and handed it to River.
River looked at the box, but didn’t take it, and was still a little bit dumbfounded.
“What does that mean?” River asked.
Averi’s face turned even redder, and she handed the box to River again, saying, “As you can see, this is the ring.”
She opened the box, and a sparkling diamond ring appeared in River’s vision.
River was dumbfounded even more.
He said, “Averi, you don’t want to marry me, but you want me to be married you?”
Pointing at him with a diamond ring, this kind of situation was something River never thought of.
Not only did he not expect it, but he even felt it was unbelievable.
However, it seemed that there was nothing to repel.
After all, the two of them got married, so there was nothing unacceptable.
Averi glanced at River’s expression secretly and said, “Actually, I bought this for myself. I didn’t plan to get married before. When I saw it, I thought I could have a diamond ring without getting married. I also thought about it, if one day I meet someone I want to marry, I will give this to him and let him use this to propose to me.”
River was speechless and can’t understand what Averi meant.
However, this time, River did not respond to the ring.
He took the ring out of the box, took Averi’s hand, and put the ring on.
Averi was filled with regret. She had never felt such intense regret before. Sometimes, she really didn’t understand what men were excited about. She had never thought that River could be so gentle, but she also never imagined that she could be so ungentle.
If Averi hadn’t cried so miserably, River probably wouldn’t have let her go. Averi snuggled in River’s arms with tears still in her eyes, looking pitiful and helpless after being “bullied”.
River wanted to kiss Averi’s cheek gently and comfort her, but as soon as he touched her cheek, she dodged away from him. Helpless, it seemed like he really bullied her this time.
Averi said hoarsely, “River, I want to sleep alone.” Right now all she wanted was a good night’s sleep without any disturbance from anyone else.
If River was sleeping on her side, she would be uneasy.
He was barely offended by this.
Was that a rejection of him?
However, for Averi’s sake, River did not bully her any more. He just sat up and said, “I’ll take care of something while you sleep, okay?”
Averi felt a little guilty for driving him away like this even though it was his bed they were sleeping on together. However, she didn’t have the energy to change rooms at this point.
She couldn’t understand why River’s spirits were still high enough for him to go out and handle things while she was completely drained of energy.
Before long though Averi’s eyelids began drooping heavily.
By six o’clock in the morning when River left their room, Beata was already awake eating an apple while playing with the cat.
Seeing him come out of their room, Beata frowned slightly at him and asked, “What did you do last night?”
Confusedly looking back at Beata, he asked, “What do you mean?”
“I heard noises,” replied Beata who hadn’t actually been asleep yet despite how early it still was.
In fact, last night had been quite intense between her brother and sister-in-law; something that wasn’t appropriate for someone as young as herself who wrote erotic stories online.
Even though the Knight’s Mansion had great soundproofing capabilities, so, if even Beata could hear them, then one can only imagine how loud things must’ve gotten during their lovemaking session!
River’s face darkened. He raised his hand and tapped on Beata’s head, and said, “Try to unhear, understand?”
Beata let out a cry of pain, covered her head, flattened her mouth, and said, “This is really too sad.
Humans can’t close their ears.”
River was speechless.
She came here early in the morning to argue with him.
Beata continued, “River, you should be gentle with your wife. Don’t be merciless.”
River was speechless again.
He was pissed off.
And he was very angry.
“Don’t say these words in front of her.” River said.
Averi was being bullied like this by him now, and maybe she won’t want him to touch her for a while later.
If Beata was still talking nonsense in front of her, she might have shyly hidden herself.
Beata smiled, and said very knowingly, “I understand, I understand. I won’t be so stupid to do things that affect your relationship. I still want to my nephew or niece to come.”
Upon hearing this, River stared at Beata for a while, making her feel uneasy. She tentatively asked,
“River, if you have something to say, just say it. You’re staring at me like that and it’s scary.”
River asked her for advice on how to propose to Averi. Beata was shocked because she never thought that River would have such an idea.
Beata had secretly been thinking about how she could subtly remind her brother that he could propose but knew he wouldn’t take her advice seriously due to his stubbornness.
Now that she heard him asking for help directly from her, Beata felt relieved and proud of him growing up into a mature man.
After coming back from the shock of the situation, Beata patted River’s shoulder and said with satisfaction, “River, I’m very happy you came up with this idea.”
River felt like he had been tricked by his little sister who dared say those words to him. Her tone made him feel like a father whose son had grown up too fast.
He playfully tapped on top of Beata’s head and said, “You’ve become bold enough to mock your brother.”
Beata giggled twice in response, “No way! I’m just really happy!”
“Don’t just be happy. Give me some substantial suggestions,” River replied sternly.
Beaming with confidence now after being given the task by her brother herself, she said, “Leave it all on me! I promise you a perfect proposal!”
River felt it skeptical, but he knew that girls, who know girls best, would like what kind of proposal Averi would like. Beata’s advice would not be wrong.
Beata leaned closer towards River’s ear, whispering, “This is going to be one helluva surprise, so don’t let Averi know about any of this!”
River was speechless. Because she was afraid that he would slip up?
Of the two of them, it was obvious that Beata was more prone to leaking words, right?
“I’m waiting for your suggestion,” River said.
Beata nodded. She was no longer sleepy or hungry, but was full of energy, and ran upstairs directly.
She wanted to give full play to her invincible imagination as an author and make this marriage proposal an unforgettable one.
It was just that there were many marriage proposal scenes written in the book, but Beata still had some headaches if it was really implemented in reality.
This was not an easy task.
In the book, she will design proposals and marriage scenes according to the characters’ personalities.
However, if they were like that, some of them will appear extravagant in reality, and even very rustic.
It was like saying that the dreamy atmosphere created by the pink gauze curtain she thought of might not be romantic in reality, but old-fashioned.
Beata didn’t want her brother’s marriage proposal to leave a bad impression.
Moreover, pink did not match the temperament of her brother and sister-in-law.
Beata sat in front of the computer, racking her brains and thinking for a long time.
This was really not an easy task.
Beata pouted her mouth.
She couldn’t just get hundreds of cats just because Averi liked cats, and she would definitely be killed by her brother.
Originally full of confidence, Beata finally found out that this was really difficult.
However, since she had already boasted, even if she bit the bullet, Beata will definitely make it happen.
Beata racked her brains, while River was not idle.
Although Averi took out the ring she liked, River still thought that this kind of thing should be decided by him.
So, River called a designer to find a ring that would satisfy him.
Averi had no idea what River and Beata were up to. She slept straight through until it was dark outside.
