Not even to touch her head.
In the dessert shop, it was acting and can be explained.
However, to do so now was courting death.
Beata finally wiped away her tears, sniffed her nose, and said, “After that, if I also pick up a dog, can I ask you to help me raise it?”
She knew very well that it was not an easy task to raise cats and dogs well herself.
With Averi at home, those cats were of course fine.
But for dogs, Beata had to ask Averi if she liked dogs.
Anyway, she didn’t count on her brother, because it was impossible for him to help her raise any pets.
Now, just for Averi’s sake, River allowed the appearance of small animals in the house.
So, after thinking about it carefully, it was obvious that Yael was the best choice here.
Yael said, “Okay.”
Beata said with a smile, “Then I will work hard and try to pick up an Alaska.”
Yael rolled his eyelids and looked at Beata.
Just now, she obviously asked why he didn’t raise Alaska and huskies, but now, she only wanted to pick up Alaska.
It was hard for Yael not to think about Harvey’s one, the Alaska named Fat Bean.
Yael asked, “Do you like Alaska?”
Beata tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, “To be precise, I think I like all big dogs.
As for small dogs, if they’re not aggressive, I like them too. But if they’re too aggressive, I’ll be scared.”
She had been frightened by an unreasonable small dog before. The key was that the owner of the small dog was also unreasonable. So now she couldn’t treat all dogs equally.
“But if it’s a small dog you raised yourself, I won’t be afraid. I believe they will be well-trained and won’t hurt me,” Beata said sincerely.
She spoke with such sincerity that she didn’t even realize she was praising Yael again.
This made Yael feel a little better.
“If you like Alaskas,” Yael said, “I happen to have a friend whose Alaska just gave birth to puppies. I can get one for you.”
Beata’s eyes lit up when she heard this.
“Yael,” she blurted out, “are you Doraemon? How come whenever I want something, you can give it to me?”
Yael just smiled and didn’t say much more.
Beata didn’t care how happy she looked at the moment; her eyes were fixed on Yael as she eagerly asked him, “Can we see them now? Do you have any pictures or videos?”
Yael took out his phone and called his friend directly to ask him to send pictures and videos over.
Soon enough, more than ten photos and videos were sent over.
Beata held onto the phone as she looked through each picture one by one; her heart melted at the sight of these less-than-two-month-old cute little puppies- there were three in total! Even though Beata had only seen pictures of them so far, her eyes seemed ready to pop out from looking at them so intently already!
Meanwhile, Yeal could only see Beata in his line of vision right now despite letting her look through his phone repeatedly without interruption.
Her expressions were incredibly vivid; even her occasional laughter or exclamation sounded very pleasant in his ears.
At this moment, Yeal became even more certain that he might really be done for – it wasn’t scary being moved but what was scary was that he had fallen for Beata.
There was a twelve-year age difference between them which made Yeal think about all these feelings towards Beate negatively.
He shouldn’t feel this way.
After all, Beate was still just a child.
Beata looked back and forth at the phone for more than ten minutes, unable to decide which one to choose.
She looked at Yael pitifully and asked, “Yael, can I have them all?”
Yael chuckled at her indecisive expression but regretfully told Beata, “Nope. Someone else wants one too. And he wants to keep one for the dog mom.”
Beata understood and said, “Okay then. I’ll take the leftover one after everyone else chooses.” She didn’t mind which one she got since she thought they were all cute and couldn’t bear to choose just one.
Yael said, “It’s okay. You can go first.”
“But I have decision-making problems,” Beata replied.
She sounded a bit spoiled as if she was either really struggling or just being playful.
Yael offered, “How about I make the decision for you?”
“Okay!” Beata eagerly nodded with sparkling eyes.
Yael quickly picked out a puppy; he originally wanted the black one but realized that Beata liked the red one more.
The red puppy reminded him of Harvey’s dog so he hesitated briefly before deciding that making Beata happy was more important than his own preferences.
Beata actually preferred this particular puppy anyway but also wanted the other two as well. Now that
Yael had chosen her favorite pup from those available though, she was overjoyed!
Eagerly looking forward to meeting her dream dog soonest possible time made it hard for her not be impatient when asking Yael, “Yael, when can I see it?”
“Tomorrow,” replied Yael confidently.
Although secretly wishing it could happen sooner rather than later in reality -she knew better than being greedy- knowing how happiness could sometimes lead into sadness if taken too far beyond limits.
“Then tomorrow after school please come pick me up,” requested Beata.
Without hesitation or second thoughts on his mind regarding picking up and dropping off duties of the young lady under his care, he answered positively, “Sure thing.”
As night approached ten o’clock however, and even though inside a man’s house whom could be considered family member, she still felt inappropriate staying this late especially given their age difference..
Beata felt a bit disappointed inside, hoping that the three months would pass quickly. She couldn’t wait any longer.
After feeding meat jerky to the three dogs, Beata and Yael left the house.
She didn’t insist on Yael not having to send her off. Although she wanted him to be considerate, Yael had already gone home. It would be too much trouble for him to send her back to the Knight family and then come back again. Besides, it was going to be past midnight.
Beata also had ulterior motives – she wanted to spend more time with Yael.
They both got into the car without hesitation.
Yael drove Beata all the way back to the Knight family’s residence. As Beata got out of the car, she waved at Yael and said, “Yael, see you tomorrow.”
She never used to say such things before; she didn’t care who sent her off every day. But now Beata really looked forward to seeing Yael every day from now on.
Back in her room, Beata buried herself in the sofa and began thinking about everything that happened during this day from start till end.
After reviewing everything that happened today in detail, Beata felt like it was a perfect day where everything went too well!
Of course if things could change immediately according what mattered most for her, then it would really make her happy!
At two in the morning, River got off Averi and carried her to the bathroom to clean up. Averi was completely exhausted and lay on top of River, letting him take care of her.
In fact, she didn’t really want River to help her clean up because she thought the bathroom was the most dangerous place. After all, more than once, while cleaning up, River had changed his mind.
But now she had no strength left and couldn’t do it herself so she let River take over. Fortunately for her this time around, he was gentle with her and didn’t bully or tease her.
After they finished cleaning up properly, they returned to bed.
Averi lay in River’s arms but couldn’t sleep at all. Meanwhile, he picked up his phone and started scrolling through it when he saw a message from one of his subordinates that made him chuckle out loud.
Averi noticed his change in mood and asked curiously, “What happened? Is something wrong?”
River handed over his phone for Averi to read what was on it which made her feel both surprised and amused after reading it twice.
“We really are causing trouble,” said Averi jokingly.
River bit down on inside his cheek as if trying not to laugh too hard before saying, “How ridiculous is this? I haven’t even opened my mouth yet.”
Averi burst out laughing again unable to control herself as she said, “Don’t worry too much about
Beata. If there is any development between them, then you should trust that your own person knows what they’re doing.”
Although Averi hadn’t spent much time with Yael today since meeting him earlier that day, from their interaction thus far, he seemed like a reliable person.
“Do you think he’s too old?” asked River.
This question only caused more laughter from Averi who replied teasingly, “My advice would be for you observe first whether Beata likes him or not before making assumptions.”
River felt a little frustrated by this response but kept quiet nonetheless wondering why things were suddenly becoming so difficult for him lately.
He had never felt so frustrated before. Averi comforted River, “Okay, don’t be too hard on yourself. If those two didn’t have any problems, why would you get so worked up over nothing?”
River couldn’t say anything in response. Averi was right; he couldn’t keep getting angry at himself. He hugged Averi and said, “From now on, you need to control my mouth and stop me from causing trouble.”
Averi looked up at him and kissed him on the lips before saying, “Okay then, from now on your mouth will only be used to kiss me. You won’t do anything else.”
River heard her words and changed positions with a flip of his body while looking deeply into her eyes.
He said meaningfully, “I don’t think I misunderstood what you meant earlier.”
Averi thought about kicking River out of bed for his comment but decided against it since she felt bad for making him upset earlier that night.
She stayed with him instead as they spent over an hour together until she finally realized that she felt refreshed.
Looking at her like this made River whisper two words in her ear which almost made Averi lose it again, but they were both hungry by then, so they decided to go eat something regardless of the time of day or night it was.
