Filed to story: Healing My Disabled Husband Novel
She didn’t want to be the only one receiving affection from River without giving anything in return. She wanted their relationship to be equal and mutually caring.
Averi’s hand that was originally pushing River away suddenly grabbed onto his shirt instead. With a gentle tug, she pulled him closer until their noses were touching.
Feeling nervous about what was happening between them today – especially since all the kissing had been initiated by River – Averi took a deep breath before boldly lifting her head up to find River’s lips and gave them a light kiss.
It was her first time taking initiative like this and she trembled as she did. So, she was forgetting how to breathe properly. Unlike hers which were cool, River’s lips were hot with an intense pressure that made
Averi want to pull back.
But it was too late. He had already gotten close enough for her not to have any escape route left open for herself. He kissed her passionately as if trying to devour every inch of her being until Averi could no longer resist him anymore.
She wrapped herself around his neck while letting go of all resistance within herself in just one fleeting moment.
Even though everything happened differently than what she had originally expected, it would be like between them both today.
However, there wasn’t anything wrong with this either because Averi trusted who he was as a person.
She believed he wasn’t playing games with her heart or emotions whatsoever. Thus, she allowed herself completely over into his hands without hesitation or reservation at all when it came down right down into things between them both now…
River felt Averi responding eagerly towards him which caused his body react accordingly too.
But just when they were about take things further along together physically, he stopped himself short before pulling away slightly from where they stood together.
He was looking deeply into each her eyes once more again and saying, “Averi, are you sure about this?”
With seductive eyes gazing back at him full force now, she replied teasingly, “Can you still bully me some more?”
After she said so, Averi felt a whirlwind. She was lifted up by River and walked straight towards the big bed.
Until she felt the changes in her body, Averi felt an unprecedented sense of fullness.
This feeling was something she had never thought of in her past life.
It was like a wandering heart that had finally landed at this moment, with an inexplicable sense of belonging.
A tear fell from the corner of Averi’s eye.
At this moment, she also finally had a home, right?

The next day.
Beata shook her calf, rested her chin, looked at the table full of breakfast, looked at the butler for the nineteenth time, and asked, “My brother and my sister-in-law really haven’t woken up, have they?”
The butler replied for the nineteenth time, “Really not.”
“They really didn’t sneak out, did they?” Beata asked for the nineteenth time.
The butler replied for the nineteenth time, “Really not.”
Beata sighed softly and said, “Every minute of the wedding night is precious, so my brother’s is worth ten thousand gold.”
The butler blushed, and looked at her in bewilderment.
Did this mean that she understood too much?
Beata finally realized that the plots of staying in bed for three days and three nights that she wrote might not be exaggerations at all, so she finally picked up the tableware, picked up a bagel, put it in her mouth, and took a bite.
“It’s such a pity my brother and my sister-in-law don’t have any chances to taste such a delicious bagel.” Beata muttered while eating.
“Why did you eat breakfast so late?” River’s voice sounded suddenly, causing Beata almost dropped the bagel on the table.
Beata looked over and said, “River, you finally woke up? Were you happy last night?”
River’s face darkened, and when he walked over, he slapped Beata on the head once gently, and said,
“Mind your words. Is this what you should ask?”
Anyway, Beata already thought that all her secrets were exposed by her brother, and River could clearly understand what she didn’t understand, so she didn’t care about anything anymore.
Beata said, “My sister-in-law hasn’t gotten up yet, so she should be very happy.”
River was speechless.
For the first time, he wanted to smash Beata’s computer for writing novels, and blocked her website for writing novels by the way.
What was in her mind?
Beata sensed the anger from her brother, shrank her neck, but didn’t know how to restrain herself, and said fearlessly, “River, don’t be so scary. You will make people misunderstand that you and my sister-
in-law are not in harmony. And you are not satisfied.”
River said, “Beata!”
Finally, when River was gnashing his teeth and wanted to beat Beata, Beata quickly grabbed two bagels and ran out of the dinning room.
River squeezed the space between his eyebrows. His sister will piss him off sooner or later.
Back in the room, River walked to the bed, patted Averi on the shoulder, and said in a very gentle voice, “Averi, Averi, get up and eat something.”
Averi grunted and rolled over, ignoring River at all.
Because of the movement of turning over, Averi changed from lying on her side to lying on her stomach, and her entire back was exposed.
River’s eyes changed, but in the end he suppressed the sudden fire and pulled the quilt to cover Averi.
In the morning, the two of them actually woke up very early.
Originally, the two of them planned to get up for breakfast, but in the end, Averi who just woke up looked much more delicious than breakfast. River wanted to taste it, and it was morning again, so he can’t restrain himself.
After that, Averi lost all strength and fell into a deep sleep.
River was helpless, and it seemed that he couldn’t wake her up.
Bowing his head and kissing Averi’s cheek, River exited the room, ready to go out to deal with something.
Averi fell asleep straight into the evening.
It was almost dark.
Averi looked at the sky outside the window, lost in thought.
She was completely in the fog, and she didn’t know what time it was.
It wass just that the soreness all over her body reminded Averi of what happened. She regretted it very much now, invincible regretful.
Why did she just let go?
Well now, she was “bullied” all day and all night in bed.
Averi was on the verge of crying.
More importantly, this was Knight’s Mansion, and not just her and River were at home.
If she had known this, she might as well go to the hotel.
It was just too embarrassing.
When she was lying on the bed and looking at the ceiling, it took Averi a long time to recover from the grief.
She tried to find her mobile phone and found that it was charging by the bedside.
No need to think about it, River did it.
With a soft heart, the little bit of resentment towards River was wiped out in an instant.
River was not a meticulous person, but he wouldn’t have done this if he didn’t care about her.
Averi picked up her phone and unlocked the screen. She was almost scared by the hundreds of missed calls and unread messages, including thousands of group chat messages. But all these missed calls and unread messages were for one thing – the personal social post she had made.
The first message Averi opened was from Aimee. She always kept Aimee’s messages at the top of her list because compared to others, she only had three: “Is it true or false?”, “Very unexpected,” and “Wish you happiness.”
Averi couldn’t help but smile. They supported each other no matter what happened. Even if it was unexpected, they would still wish each other well.
She quickly typed a response to Aimee before her phone rang with an incoming call from Matilda.
Averi sighed inwardly as she answered the call. Matilda’s voice came through on the other end saying,
“Averi! You’re really something! You disappeared without a word after doing something big! It’s your wedding night!”
“I didn’t mean to,” Averi coughed out in response.
“I know, I know. It’s your wedding night after all. Disappearing is normal,” Matilda said with a laugh.
Averi couldn’t say anything in return as their relationship was too familiar for any restraint on words.
And besides that fact remained that what Matilda said was true, it was even harder for Averi to respond appropriately.
Seeing that Averi wasn’t responding, Matilda laughed more freely than before saying, “Alright then, since you’re here, now bring your husband over to Hayden’s Mansion. We’ve been waiting for you day and night.”
Although frustrated by this request which could not be refused given their relationship, she reluctantly agreed while warning them they might come later than expected, due to unforeseen circumstances which might arise during their journey there.
“Grandpa says we’ll wait no matter how late you are,” replied Matilda cheerfully.
Feeling speechless yet again by this situation where Camdyn seemed more excited about their arrival than anyone else present there already, she knew they needed hurry up so as not keep him waiting any longer than necessary.
Sitting up from the bed, Averi didn’t care about the unread messages anymore. Anyway, she didn’t need to read and knew what they would be.
She wanted to take a shower right now, and after tidying herself up, she would see if River and Beata were at home.
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open.
River walked in.
