“Alright, I’ll give you credit for that. Reward yourself with whatever you want,” River said.
Beata replied, “Well then, I won’t be shy about it. When the time comes, don’t be stingy.”
River was speechless once again. When did this girl think he was stingy?
“I’ve never been stingy with you since we were kids,” River said.
Beata responded, “Maybe not when we were younger but just because there wasn’t anything to take back. Then it doesn’t mean there won’t be in the future. After all, it used to just be me and you but now you’re a married man with your own children. As your little sister, I naturally come last.”
Beata was very aware of this fact.
River was getting annoyed by Beata’s words.
He said firmly, “Whether or not I have a wife now or how many children we have in the future, it doesn’t change anything between us. You will always be my little sister and both my wife and children will treat you well as our important family member.”
When Beata heard River say this, she felt truly happy inside; an indescribable happiness that others could never understand.
She knew one day she would grow up too and meet someone she loved who would become part of her own family but even so, nothing would change between them as siblings just because they had different partners in life. If River didn’t approve of someone she chose to date, then maybe they wouldn’t end up together at all!
Thinking like this made Beata realize what a wonderful thing it was to become part of River’s family forevermore!
However, since they were already on such topics, Beata couldn’t help asking, “River, what if someday I find a boyfriend that you don’t like? What are you going to do?”
River looked at Beata silently knowing exactly why she asked such a question.
He said, “It’s very simple. If you find such a person, it means that in your heart, my position is not as good as him. If he is a good person, I will protect you silently. If I don’t like him, it’s fine not to get in touch with him, as long as the two of you are happy. But if there is something wrong with him, I won’t tell you directly, but let you go through it yourself. I believe, my sister won’t be a brainless person. It is impossible for you to be with a problematic person for so long without knowing that the other person has a problem. In this case, I will wait for you to see him clearly and leave him by yourself.”
Beata had an indescribable taste for this answer.
She thought that with River’s domineering defense, if she found someone he didn’t like, he would definitely use his own way to break them up.
However, now hearing River say this, it was hard for her mood not to be turbulent.
She said, “If, in the process of dating, I’s hurt, what should I do?”
River said, “Of course I will secretly protect you.”
River would never do anything that would put Beata in danger, let alone let a man hurt her.
Beata said, “Then what if, I’m a bad-tempered person and want to escape your protection?”
She had watched so many TV series and novels, and she also wrote novels, so there were naturally all kinds of possibilities.
Therefore, Beata didn’t mind thinking of the problem as the worst.
River said, “In that case, I can only pretend that I don’t have you as my sister.”
River said it seriously, and it was as indifferent as he had always shown.
Beata’s tears came down all at once.
She looked at River and said, “River, how could you do this?”
Beata’s tears fell down with a pitter-patter sound, making her look particularly pitiful and aggrieved.
River felt sad seeing her like this.
But since they had already talked about it, there were some things that needed to be made clear in advance. Otherwise, if they didn’t clarify things now, it would only lead to confusion and misunderstandings in the future.
Although River was Beata’s brother and naturally he would protect her for life as family should do, if
Beata really wanted to fight with him over an outsider like this, then River didn’t think their sibling relationship was all that great after all.
River said, “You’re still young now but you know a lot of things. I never treat you like a child.”
“Since you asked me about this today, let me make it clear.”
“I don’t know what kind of man you’ll meet in the future but you should also understand that many people in this world are drawn together by similar interests or personalities. If someone doesn’t fit our family’s values or personality traits, then I don’t think he’ll catch your eye either.”
“Suppose you really fall for someone like that guy? If both your sister-in-law and I tell you that there is something wrong with him and advise against being together with him, then surely we don’t need to explain further why we feel so.”
Beata calmed down after hearing River say so much; she realized his words made sense.
With such thoughts running through her mind, she suddenly didn’t feel as upset anymore.
However, Beata still said, “But, what if that person behaves exceptionally well? We all know people have secrets even between siblings who may not fully understand each other 100%. How can I get to know a stranger so well?”
River said, “No one can act their whole life. If someone can act for a lifetime, then they are impressive and have impeccable character. They wouldn’t do anything that would harm their performance.”
“Although these people are dangerous, they’re still better than some others. However, such people are rare; most people are just ordinary and can only act for a day or two or even ten years. I don’t believe anyone can act their entire life. If you ever meet someone like that, as long as I’m alive, I’ll expose his mask.”
River’s anger was rising by this point.
He couldn’t imagine what it would be like if someone treated his sister Beata in such a way.
He couldn’t accept any man hurting Beata.
If there really was such a person who wasn’t afraid of death, he would make sure to tear him apart limb by limb.
Beata giggled at River’s tone and said, “Brother, you’re so fierce right now.”
It had been a while since she’d seen River so angry.
River gave her an eye roll and said, “Who else could it be for?”
Beata smiled sweetly,”I know! You’re still my best brother who loves me the most!”
River didn’t want to continue with this topic anymore.
Luckily Beata was still young right now; if she were already in love, he’d have big problems on his hands.
But thinking about it made River’s gaze towards Beata become complicated.
He stared at her for quite some time before asking, “You’ve been leading up to something all this time.
Does that mean you’re already in love?”
However, River didn’t believe it because he always had someone following Beata around and reporting back on everything she did and everyone she met.
If she really got close with another guy, River wouldn’t be unaware.
Of course, it could be different if the person was just one of the bodyguards protecting her.
River thought more about it, the more likely that possibility seemed to him. Beata rolled her eyes and said, “River, I’m still underage. Although I write sweet novels and have written all kinds of love stories, I am not a casual girl. I also need to carefully choose who to be with and whether or not to date. These are things that require careful consideration. Don’t think too much about it. I don’t want to be with strange boys.”
River understood Beata well; when she said this, she definitely wasn’t secretly dating someone behind his back.
But since the seed had already been planted in his mind, River couldn’t help but have some thoughts sprouting up.
He couldn’t control himself from wondering if his guess was right or wrong. If he guessed wrong, it would be fine; but what if he guessed correctly?
Beata was stared at by River for a long time before saying, “River, if you keep looking at me like this, I will go find my sister-in-law. I will tell her about how you bullied me and also tell her about your plan to propose marriage soon! You better think carefully and not do anything you’ll regret later.”
Now River was completely certain that Beata really hadn’t dated anyone yet.
River said, “I haven’t said anything yet; although you’re still underage now, on this matter -I’m not that conservative either- If you want to date someone, then it’s okay with me as long as one thing is clear –
you can’t do adult things right now.”
Beata blushed immediately and shouted loudly, “Averi! Come quickly take my brother away!”
Of course shouting like this was pointless.
The soundproofing of each room in the Knight Mansion was very good; if there were any issues needing attention, then either they went directly into the other person’s room or called them on their phone.
After shouting once, Beata remembered this fact so she took out her phone directly after calling Averi over.
Averi came over curiously looking at the two siblings strangely.
Beata looked miserable as she spoke, “Sister-in-law, please come quickly take care of my brother! I don’t know what’s gotten into him today- he keeps insisting that I’m dating someone even though there’s no one! At this rate, I might rebel against him.”
Averi heard what Beata had just said and looked at River speechlessly thinking how suddenly old-
fashioned he had become lately.
However, Averi obviously couldn’t hold back, looked at Beata gossipingly, and asked, “Then have you been dating someone?”
Beata was speechless.
She now understood what it meant that birds of a feather flock together.
Beata said, “I beg you, get out of my room quickly, please? Don’t disturb me to find a boyfriend. I will go online to hire a boyfriend to fall in love with me now.”
Averi laughed out loud, and said, “Why can you be easily teased? Neither your brother nor I are rigid people. If you are in a relationship, you should just protect yourself.”
Beata was speechless.
At this moment, she really wanted to ask who could come and save her.
What did she do wrong? Why did she treat her like this?
River stood up and said, “Listen to your sister-in-law.”
As speaking, River left Beata’s room with Averi.
After making such a fuss, both River and Beata breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the two of them gathered in the room mysteriously, worried that Averi would be unhappy, as if they were guarding against her.
River and Averi returned to their room, where Averi was still gossiping. “What’s up? Is Beata really in love?” she asked.
“I don’t think so,” River replied.
But his suspicion had taken root in his mind, and he planned to call everyone together and ask them about it.
