Averi couldn’t help but laugh at Beata’s strange words. “Well then, what can I do to heal your wounded heart?”
Beata blinked her eyes and said, “Just pity me and tell me how you two got together.”
Before she could finish her sentence, Beata was hit on the head with force.
She turned around and saw her handsome brother River walking towards them in a white shirt.
Any protest that had been on Beata’s lips was instantly silenced by his presence.
Beata looked at River with adoration in her eyes and couldn’t resist giving him a thumbs up. “River, if you don’t become a star, it would be the biggest loss for the entertainment industry.”
As River’s number one fan, Beata had always been skilled at flattery since childhood. She firmly believed that sweet talk could solve any problem.
And in reality, there was some truth to this belief of hers.
Because this rule simply did not apply to River.
Although he was often kind and doting towards her, when it came time for discipline, there was no room for waste or mercy.
Beata resented this deeply.
Especially since River’s method of punishment wasn’t just physical force, he even made her copy out the Ring. Who knew what kind of state that scared little girl was in afterwards?
But thanks to River’s punishment, Beata went from copying books to writing her own stories. At a young age, she became quite the accomplished author and even won an award.
River paid no attention to Beata’s flattery as he turned his gaze towards Averi. “Let’s go fill out the forms,” he said.
Ever since River appeared earlier, Averi had been stunned by him. Although it wasn’t the first time she had seen him in a white shirt, in fact, she thought most men’s white shirts were all pretty much the same – something about their changing relationship or perhaps just how special River looked today made it impossible for Averi to look away.
River found himself feeling helpless with this girl who seemed uncharacteristically bold under his gaze.
He felt especially pleased by how she looked at him but if he kept this up, they might not be able to get their marriage license today.
Knowing that Averi was already here and unaware of anything yet, River remained clear-headed.
After she went back home and thought about it all night, it was afraid that she would regret it and delay the matter indefinitely.
He didn’t mind if she changed her mind, nor did he care whether or not they had this document.
In River’s eyes, this woman was his once he decided to have her.
However, if they could avoid some trouble and change their relationship qualitatively, why not do it?
Beata looked left and right before leaning in to whisper in Averi’s ear. “Averi, isn’t my brother handsome? Let me tell you something. My brother looks even better without clothes on.”
Averi, River and Chace were struck dumb.
Although what Beata said was true, coming from her mouth made it sound strange.
Beata blinked innocently. “My brother swims almost every day so I can see his chest muscles and abs every day. The V-line abs is really attractive.”
She hadn’t even mentioned that the male lead character she created was based on her brother’s good looks and physique. And even the supporting male characters who were also good-looking were modeled after him.
For Beata, this was a very pure and normal description. For Averi though, it triggered uncontrollable thoughts elsewhere.
Realizing where her thoughts were going made Averi want to cover her face with embarrassment.
Her cheeks turned red instantly. No need for blush as there was already a layer of redness on them.
As soon as Beata turned around, she saw how embarrassed Averi had become – almost burning herself up.
She blinked innocently and asked, “What’s wrong with you, Averi?”
Averi wanted to kneel down and beg Beata to stop staring at her. Luckily, River reached out and pulled
Averi up from the chair.
“Don’t mind her,” he said. “She’s just making a fuss for no reason.”
Beata watched as River dragged Averi away, feeling annoyed that she was being accused of bullying when she hadn’t done anything wrong.
Turning to Chace, Beata grumbled, “Chace, do you think my brother is too mean? Does he really have to be so harsh on his sister?”
Chace felt a headache coming on and flicked Beata’s head lightly. “Don’t blame Mr. Knight for ignoring you,” he said. “You deserve it.”
Beata became even more upset at Chace’s words.
“You’ve changed,” she said while glaring at him. “You weren’t like this before. What happened?”
Chace sighed inwardly but couldn’t say anything that might get him in trouble with River.
He quickly dismissed his thoughts of corrupting an underage girl. After all, Beata was already quite knowledgeable about certain things.
Besides, all these rough guys had read her novels before…
Thinking back on that scene, Chace couldn’t help but feel a mix of amusement and bewilderment.
What could possibly make a group of rough guys huddle around their phones, reading romance novels at the same time every day?
But truth be told, Beata’s writing was pretty darn good. At least it had these tough guys blushing like schoolboys.
Rumor had it that some of them even used the tactics from her books to win over their girlfriends.
Chace couldn’t believe his luck – why hadn’t he stumbled upon such fortune?
Averi held the pen in her hand and suddenly forgot how to write a character. River, on the other hand, remained calm and quickly filled out his own form.
Averi looked at his writing in surprise. His characters were unexpectedly beautiful and had an air of elegance and freedom that drew Averi into them.
River finished writing the last character and looked up to see Averi’s blank form. He didn’t know whether to be happy that she was so captivated by his writing or to suspect that she didn’t want to fill out the form at all.
Putting down his pen, River leaned over and asked, “What’s wrong?”
“I forgot how to write a character,” Averi said honestly. She hadn’t tried to hide her mistake from him.
River raised an eyebrow slightly and said, “It’s okay.”
“What do you mean?” Averi asked curiously, not understanding what he meant by “it’s okay”.
Instead of explaining himself, River chuckled softly and said, “Can I take it as you being fascinated by me?”
Averi didn’t know what to say.
Why was this person so unaware of the situation? The staff couldn’t bear it and were snickering with their mouths closed.
Averi quickly picked up a pen and grabbed River’s form, preparing to copy it down. Finally, Averi finished filling out the form, and her face cooled down from its previously fiery temperature.
Because they were the only couple getting married at that moment, the process went quickly, and soon the marriage certificates were handed over to them.
However, before they could even open them to take a look, a small hand reached out and snatched them away.
Beata looked at the photo of the two on the marriage certificates and exclaimed repeatedly, “My brother is so handsome! My sister-in-law is so beautiful! They’re such a perfect match!”
Averi had always known she was good-looking but being praised by Beata still made her blush slightly.
She felt embarrassed to look at River but he hooked his arm around her waist and pulled her into his embrace saying, “Beata’s right. You’re indeed very beautiful. And we’re a perfect match.”
Upon hearing River’s words, Beata shifted her gaze over to them but couldn’t seem to take her eyes off of them for even a second.
This was actually her first time observing these two intimately up close like this, and in Beata’s heart, there seemed like there were ten thousand pets roaring all at once.
What was going on here?
This was what she called a real-life sweet story. Her writing was all made up, but this real-life version was just too sweet. Beata’s eyes were sparkling.
River couldn’t stand the way she was staring at him anymore. He lifted his hand and covered Beata’s eyes, saying, “What are you looking at? She’s my wife.”
Beata was infuriated by River’s domineering words and pulled his hand away while grumbling, “What’s wrong with looking? You’re so stingy. I’m still the matchmaker for you two. You didn’t even thank me and kept lying to me that there was nothing between you two. With such a pitiful sister like me?”
Beata seemed genuinely agitated and kept talking non-stop, making River feel a headache.
Unable to bear it any longer, River gave Chace a look and said, “Take her home.”
Upon hearing this, Beata immediately became defiant and stood in front of River, asking,” What about you guys? Where are you going?”
“On our wedding night. Where do you think we’re going?” replied River.
Beata blushed instantly while Averi couldn’t resist pinching River on the waist.
“What is he saying to a child?” thought Chace silently.
Even Chace looked startled, trying to lower his presence as much as possible.
He never knew that River was this wild.
Beata felt like she was about to catch fire. It took her a while to find her voice and say, “River, are you trying to scare me by talking dirty like this? I’m just a kid.”
River chuckled softly and said, “Aren’t you supposed to be good at it?”
Beata was speechless.
She knew she shouldn’t brag online. Now there was no true affection left in the world.
Suddenly, as she was thinking of something, Beata’s face turned pale.
She stared at River for a long time before asking fearlessly when he was about to lose patience, “River, have you even read the boon part?”
There was no answer from River but instead came a muffled laugh from Chace.
Beata’s heart sank instantly. What else did her brother not know?
Could the internet still leave her with some dignity?
Beata had already been depressed. She didn’t need River to tell her to leave. She hung her head low and walked out dejectedly.
