It wasn’t until then that she had time to reply Mikayla’s message.
Averi had no objections to Mikayla’s request for her to be a bridesmaid and readily agreed. However, she still didn’t know when the wedding would take place.
Mikayla gave her a reasonable suggestion: if she and River got married first, they would be the first ones to get married.
That was called the latercomers surpassed the formers.
Averi thought it made sense.
Although Averi started dating River late and having children was out of the question, being the first one to get married would be great and she also looked forward to it.
It wasn’t about competing with anyone. Averi just thought it would be fun. But how should she bring this up with River? She needed some time to think about it.
Coincidentally, as soon as these thoughts crossed her mind, River walked in through the door and saw
Averi sitting on the bed holding her phone lost in thought.
Her shoulder was exposed; her skin smooth and fair enough that he couldn’t take his eyes off of them.
Sensing his gaze, Averi instinctively pulled up the blanket over herself, covering her skin and feeling shy all over again.
River sat down next to Averi asking softly, “Are you tired?” while reaching out his hand under chin lifting it slightly so he could look at her face better
Averi glanced at him sideways, knowing full well what this question was meant, which only made things more awkward between them, but how could he not know if she was tired or not?
River rubbed Averi’s head gently saying, “How about I bring you something to eat upstairs? You don’t have go downstairs.”
This made Averi even more embarrassed than before, but since she really felt hungry now, without any hesitation, she said, “I’ll go down myself.”
She pulled away from Rivers hand, saying, “You can leave now. I need change my clothes.”
River couldn’t help but smile wryly at Averi’s shyness towards him. Despite their relationship being quite intimate already, there was nothing else he could do except indulge in this side of hers.
He stood up, preparing leave room, but before leaving, he kissed on Averi’s lips, making her blush red instantly. That reminded him of how much he loved teasing Averi like this.
There seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, which made River want to relive last night.
However, what was certain was that if he really did this, then Averi would definitely be pissed off.
What Beata said was right that he couldn’t be merciless..
For the sake of the future, he can’t just focus on the present.
After River left the room, Averi got off the bed to wash up.
Only after looking in the mirror did she realize how miserable she was being bullied.
For River’s bad behavior, Averi was ready to punish him well.
At least, for the next three days, he will not be allowed to bully her again.
Anyway, counting the time, her period was coming soon, and River can’t bully her even if he wanted to.
When she thought of this, Averi’s mood was extremely great.
Coming down from upstairs, she greeted Beata in a good mood.
However, Beata’s body trembled, as if she was frightened, and she just found an excuse and ran away.
This was the first time Beata saw Averi without sticking to her side like glue.
Averi was a bit stunned, not understanding what was going on. Why was Beata suddenly acting this way towards her?
This feeling made Averi uncomfortable and left a bad taste in her mouth.
River walked over and hugged Averi’s waist, saying, “She just does whatever she wants. Don’t mind her.”
Averi didn’t know what was going on with Beata, but River did.
Beata just couldn’t hide anything because she was afraid she would reveal herself to Averi, so she ran away from Averi like a little monkey.
River felt helpless about the situation but he couldn’t explain everything to Averi since he was still waiting for Beata’s plan.
Luckily, Averi didn’t dwell on it too much because right now the most important thing for her was filling up her stomach. Sitting in the dining room and smelling the aroma of food made it clear that she hadn’t eaten in a while.
She used to have these kinds of meals when she went out on missions but never thought she’d have to live like this again. It seemed unbelievable.
Averi ate from her bowl of porridge and unconsciously glanced at River across from her. It was strange how this man had such good spirits despite their current circumstances.
River noticed that Averi had been staring at him with unhappy expression and asked, “What are you looking at?”
“I just think things aren’t fair,” replied an unhappy-looking Averi.
River took note of Averi’s expression and understood what she meant by unfairness.
He smiled slightly before saying, “Actually your physical strength is already very good.”
Averi remained silent as she accepted his compliment. Among women other than those with absolute talent like Aimee, Averi had one of the best physical strengths even surpassing many men’s abilities.
But when faced with River, who seemed invincible compared to her, Averi felt extremely dissatisfied with herself.
After eating, she wiped her mouth clean and then looked at him once more, which made River a little bit helpless.
River leaned closer towards Averi until his eyes met hers, then said softly, “Baby, if you keep looking at me like that, I’ll get the wrong idea.”
Averi was speechless.
Naturally it was self-evident by what he meant.
Averi raised her hand and poked River’s face, saying, “How did you become like this? It seems like you don’t think about anything else except this.”
River laughed lowly, and finally kissed the corner of Averi’s mouth.
Although Averi scolded River, she felt sweet.
However, soon, Averi turned serious and said, “I have something to ask you.”
Seeing that she was serious, River also became serious, and stopped teasing her.
Unexpectedly, in the next second, Averi said, “River, let’s fight.”
River was struck dumb.
He looked at Averi helplessly, and really didn’t understand how she would make such a request.
River laughed and said, “Is it because I bullied you, and you want to use this method to get revenge on me?”
Fighting with Averi, River naturally wouldn’t be serious.
But Averi’s posture didn’t look like she wanted to play tricks with him at all.
Didn’t he just have to be beaten?
In this way, it was reasonable for River to think so.
Averi frowned, clearly detecting the teasing in River’s words.
“Don’t be so cocky. I’m still tough. Don’t underestimate me,” she said.
If they really fought, it was anyone’s guess who would win. Averi had actually toned down her arrogance with that statement. If she were a little more arrogant, she would have shown off her winning posture.
However, this statement still stimulated River.
It had been a long time since someone challenged him like this since he was young.
River pulled his mouth slightly and said, “Okay then, let’s try.”
Averi knew from River’s attitude that he didn’t take her words seriously at all.
She suggested, “How about we make a bet?”
With River’s attitude like this, if she didn’t give him something real to bet on, he’d think it was just for fun anyway.
Averi wasn’t going to argue with him verbally. The results would speak for themselves when the time came.
“Okay,” replied River simply. Betting was such an easy thing to do after all.
Although Averi made this proposal now, she hadn’t thought of anything good to bet on yet.
After thinking for a while, Averi said, “We’ll decide what we’re betting on later.”
River agreed without any objection as usual.
Averi pursed her lips and naturally knew that River was spoiling her and pampering her.
But these indulgences were sugar-coated bullets for Averi right now, because she wouldn’t show any mercy in return.
River didn’t know that Averi was secretly competing against him in her mind right now. He only thought about how not to let Averi win without leaving any traces behind.
Both of them had different thoughts at the moment and all their attention focused on this matter alone.
Of course they couldn’t fight today because Averi’s body was still weak and powerless due to recent events. So River gave her time to recover and promised Averi not to mess with her before the fight.
Actually, Averi did not believe in River’s promise at all, so she directly moved out of River’s master bedroom back into the guest room where she originally stayed..
Beata wrote half a plan book inside her room while building an encrypted folder, which made Beata feel relieved when finished.
But when Beata thought about how find her brother without being discovered by sister-in-law, she found out that her brother will sleep separately from her sister-in-law tonight.
Beata was confused.
She stared at River for a while, and asked, “River, what did you do to Averi? Why is she so angry that you sleep in a separate room?”
River glared at Beata who was talking nonsense.
