Beata shook her head and said, “Nope, he’s not my brother.”
Although she should technically call Yael her older brother out of respect, she didn’t like it and didn’t want to call him that. She just wasn’t happy about it.
When Harvey heard this response from Beata, his heart sank. If he wasn’t her brother, then what could he be? Her boyfriend perhaps? Harvey couldn’t help but think that no matter who this man might have been with Beata last night, they were definitely together romantically.
Beata looked at Harvey’s sad face suspiciously and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you interested in him?”
Harvey remained silent for a moment before almost falling off his chair in disbelief at how clueless
Beata seemed about his feelings towards her.
Beata didn’t understand, so, she really couldn’t figure out what happened to Harvey.
However, her mind was not on this right now. Her mind was full of seeing her dog soon.
Now she just hoped that today will pass quickly and smoothly, without any unhappy things happening.
In this way, when she went to pick up the dog, she will be happier.
Here, Beata was in class and thinking about the dog.
Meanwhile on another side of town, Yael arrived at River’s office where they stared each other down for ten minutes without saying anything. River hadn’t spoken since calling Yael into his office so obviously there must have been something important regarding Beata’s situation going on here.
However, neither one spoke up until finally River burst out laughing at Yael’s silence while picking up a pen to throw at him saying, “You’re quite daring. Aren’t you sneaking around behind my back like that!?
You really don’t fear me wanting your life.”
Yael said, “I never expected this to happen. Right now, it’s just my own situation and I don’t know how things will develop in the future. It’s not up to me, but up to Miss Knight.”
River was speechless after hearing this.
He couldn’t believe he hadn’t noticed Yael’s ability to infuriate people before.
River said, “Do I need to praise you?”
Yael remained silent but her expression clearly conveyed the message, “No need.”
This made River even more frustrated. He was about to lose his temper.
However, Yael didn’t add fuel to the fire and sincerely said, “I’ll control myself better… at least for three months.”
This made River burst out laughing from anger.
After laughing for a while, River licked his cheek and said with a smile, “Okay then. You’re really something else.”
Three months later when Beata turned 18 years old, there were many things that even he as an older brother couldn’t control anymore.
She had the same temperament with his completely.
River stared at Yael for a long time before finally saying, “I have only one request. No matter what happens, do not hurt her.”
Yael nodded and said, “I won’t.”
He wouldn’t force Beata. If she didn’t like him, he would wait for her until the day she met someone she did like. He wouldn’t do anything out of line without her permission.
If Beata happened to like him too, then it was his lucky day. He would protect her well and love her deeply. He would never let her suffer any grievances in this lifetime.
Love was like a flood that had burst its banks.
It was really hard to say whether people liked someone or not when they hadn’t been discovered yet.
But now that he had found out, and Yael couldn’t deceive himself anymore.
He liked Beata and maybe he had liked her for a long time already or maybe it was because he saw how she grew up in front of him as he protected her every day.
Yael didn’t think too much about it; everything started from harmony and all he wanted to focus on was the future.
The result of doing so was equivalent to handing over everything to Beata’s hands. As long as she wanted it, he could be happy in an instant.
But if she didn’t want it, then Yael would forever be stuck in the dark world alone.
River also had someone special now, so he naturally understood many things that couldn’t be stopped just by preventing them from happening.
Moreover, Yael almost grew up with River; now they were close friends who trusted each other completely.
River never looked down on Yael or thought less of him than himself.
River knew very well about Yael’s character and other aspects, which made River trust him completely.
He also knew very clearly that if both Yael and Beata liked each other, then there wasn’t anything wrong with their relationship at all.
Looking at Yael, River said, “You’ve chosen a difficult path for yourself.”
No matter what, the fact remained that Beata was still young, she hadn’t seen much of the world yet, and things may change once she went off to college. It was really hard to predict these things right now but despite this, Yael had already jumped into this relationship headfirst without thinking through everything first.
Suddenly, River wasn’t angry anymore. He knew deep down inside, in this relationship, Yael might be the one who needed more care than anyone else did.
“I’m willing,” said Yael.
River scoffed, “Of course, money can’t buy willingness. What else can I say?”
As the end of school approached, Beata eagerly packed up her things and waited for the bell to ring so she could quickly run out and see her little dog.
Harvey watched Beata’s movements with a heavy heart. He really wanted to ask her if she was going to see the dog or the person who took her there. But he didn’t dare.
Beata didn’t like it when guys talked too much.
He knew that if he did ask, Beata would tell him to get lost without hesitation.
So Harvey silently packed his bag and just hoped that at least they could leave school together.
But even that chance was taken away from him as soon as their teacher said they were dismissed;
Beata ran off in a flash.
Harvey didn’t know what to say.
His first love had ended before it even began.
Beata rushed out as soon as she saw Yael’s car, and ran towards it with excitement. Yael opened the passenger door for her, and before Beata even sat down properly, she asked, “Yael, are we going to pick up the dog now?”
Yael replied, “It’s up to you. Do you want to eat first or pick up the dog?”
Beata said confidently, “I’m not hungry.” She purposely didn’t ask if Yael was hungry because if he said yes, then she would have had to accompany him for a meal.
Beata just didn’t feel like it.
Yael could see through her intentions and smiled helplessly. He said, “Let’s go pick up the dog first.”
“Yay! So happy!” Beata was ecstatic. If she had a tail, it would have been wagging uncontrollably.
They drove smoothly without any traffic jams, which made Beata feel like everything was going well for her today. If there were any traffic jams on their way there, then Beata would definitely be complaining non-stop.
Now that they weren’t stuck in traffic, Beata felt like everything was working in her favor today especially since they arrived at their destination quickly – a villa where they stopped outside of its gates.
As soon as they got out of the car, Beata couldn’t wait to see the dog.
Yael chuckled and walked over to ring the doorbell while Beate peeked from behind him curiously until someone came over and greeted them respectfully saying, “Yael.”
The person asked who Miss Knight was when he saw Beate but before anyone could answer, he immediately tensed his nerves upon hearing that it was indeed Miss Knight. Innisrial’s only Miss Knight happened to be River’s sister but rarely showed herself, so not many people knew about her identity except those close enough with River himself.
Thankfully this person didn’t say anything inappropriate. Otherwise, River might skin him alive!
Beata still didn’t appreciate being addressed by others in such formalities especially since this person was actually owner of her dream dog!
Beate smiled politely, saying, “No need for such formality. Just call me by my name please”. The man looked at Yael, seeking his opinion but Yael remained silent instead changing topic asking about where the dog was located.
The man responded promptly saying that it was already prepared inside so without further ado, Yael turned around telling Beata,” Let’s go take a look.”
She nodded obediently yet suddenly feeling nervous. Was she really going meet her dream dog? This was too unbelievable…
The three of them walked to the living room together, and Beata saw that her dream dog was already put in a cage with its food and toys.
Beata didn’t go to see the other two puppies, afraid that if she did, she would become even more greedy.
So, she just opened the cage and took the dog of her dream out.
The little puppy was sleeping, curled up into a small ball. Beata was so excited but trying to control her movements, afraid that she might disturb the puppy’s comfort if she moved too much.
However, the puppy was still awakened by her, raised its eyelids to look at her, twisted its body, and fell asleep again.
Beata’s heart was about to be melted by cuteness.
However, she didn’t feel comfortable screaming in someone else’s house.
The man could see that Beata was so fond of the dog, and it was obvious to him that Yael looked at
Beata with great affection whenever she was happy.
Now he was even more confused.
Could it be possible that Miss Knight was really Yael’s girlfriend?
Yael was now on the fast track to success, and he should definitely hold onto his coattails in the future.
Back in the car, Beata couldn’t contain her excitement any longer and let out a scream.
“Ah! This is too cute!” Beata was on the verge of tears as she carefully held onto her dream dog and turned to Yael.
“Woo hoo! I’m so happy, Yael. I’m really happy. I’m so lucky.”
Yael fastened his seatbelt and asked, “You really like it that much?”
“I love it! I love it so much,” Beata nodded vigorously. “Yael, I’m really happy.”
