Chapter 833 How Will He Prove It?

Averi grabbed her cat carriers from the car and turned around to see River standing behind her. Her cat

carriers bumped into River.

Averi was startled, but then she breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the cat carriers protected her from

hitting River. Otherwise, she would have been the one who got hurt.

River noticed Averi's relieved expression and chuckled, "What? Do you dislike me that much?"

Averi was confused by his conclusion. It seemed strange to her.

River continued teasingly, "If you don't dislike me, why are you so relaxed?"

Averi choked for a moment before looking up at River with a serious expression and saying, "I'm afraid

of hitting you."

She spoke earnestly as if it were really true.

River laughed lightly at Averi's response and leaned in closer to her with interest. He said playfully,

"Actually, I wouldn't mind if you did hit me."

Averi was speechless at River's words. If she wasn't holding onto the cat carriers tightly in her hand

right now, she would have punched him for being so weird.

This guy... she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He always seemed strange no matter what

he did or said.

Soon, Averi had an idea and held out the cat bags in her arms to River, saying, "Are you not afraid of

cats now?"

River looked down at the little things in her arms and suddenly laughed. "Who told you I'm afraid of

cats?"

This made Averi a little confused. Did she really need someone to tell her that? She could see for

herself that he clearly didn't like cats.

Seemingly sensing Averi's thoughts, River chuckled softly and said, "I just don't like their shedding fur.

But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of them."

Averi had no problem accepting this explanation. However, she couldn't resist teasing River a bit.

"But you give off the impression that you're scared of them," she said.

Otherwise, why would he always make sure to lock up the cats whenever he came over?

For this reason alone, Averi was very protective of her furry babies.

River was left speechless by Averi's words and his eyes grew deeper with amusement.

"Looks like you want me to prove I'm not scared of cats," he said with a smile.

Averi didn't have any such intention but before she knew it, River had reached over and taken the cat

bags from her arms.

Through the bags' mesh window and because these particular felines had just been groomed recently,

they weren't shedding as much as usual and looking better than ever before!

Averi tilted her head and suddenly thought of something, smiled and said, "Is this how you prove that

you're not afraid of cats?"

River couldn't possibly miss the meaning behind her words.

He chuckled lightly and said, "Then let's go upstairs and I'll show you."

Originally, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But somehow Averi heard a hint of flirtation in his words.

Her face unconsciously blushed, looking particularly good under the sun.

This wasn't the first time River had seen Averi blush, but he still couldn't take his eyes off her.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Finally Averi realized what was going on and turned to say, "Okay."

Without waiting for River or caring about him holding onto her cat bags, she lifted her feet towards the

door. Her footsteps were not as steady as usual, as if both feet were soft and weak.

River watched Averi's back as his lips involuntarily curved upwards.

How could she be so cute?

Realizing what he was thinking about made River's gaze suddenly become more profound.

He seemed to be becoming more out of sorts by the minute.

Averi wasn't sure what River was thinking as they approached the elevator. When she turned to look at

him, he didn't come over and instead stayed back a distance. Despite this, Averi could still see River's

gaze clearly.

In that moment, Averi felt a bit stunned. She couldn't quite describe it, but when she met River's eyes, it

felt like something was hitting her heart.

Averi panicked for a moment before turning away from River and pressing the elevator button. She

decided that if he didn't come over, she would just go up by herself anyway. After all, River knew where

her apartment was located.

Just as the elevator arrived on the first floor, River walked over to join her. Averi glanced at him and let

out a light snort through her nose as if to complain about how long he took.

River found himself both laughing and crying at her reaction. He couldn't help but reach up and rub his

hand on top of Averi's head while saying, "You're so dissatisfied with me."

A sudden movement from him startled Averi who looked up only to see that he seemed perfectly

relaxed despite his actions towards her just now, which confused her even more about what exactly

was going on with him.

The two of them stepped into the elevator without speaking and waited quietly for it to ascend upward.

Averi stared at the numbers going up, but in reality, she didn't see anything clearly. The elevator doors

opened and without thinking, Averi rushed out.

River pulled her back with a hint of helplessness in his voice. "Don't even recognize your own home?"

Averi blushed as she looked at the floor number and realized they hadn't arrived yet. She felt

embarrassed for making such a low-level mistake in front of River.

But soon enough, Averi noticed something else. Her gaze drifted down to her arm and saw that River

was holding it tightly with his dry and warm palm wrapped around her small arm seamlessly without

any gaps.

It was then that Averi realized how big River's hand actually was. It felt like he was holding onto a

chicken claw instead of her arm!

"You're too skinny," River suddenly said.

Averi snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to meet River's gaze. He seemed like he wanted to

explain the meaning behind his words, as he tightened his grip on her arm slightly and continued, "You

have no meat on your bones. How did you get so thin?"

Averi had never thought of herself as being too skinny before. Her figure had always played a crucial

role in boosting her confidence.

Now, she was being criticized by River for being too thin. Although Averi wasn't completely devastated

by his comment, she wasn't exactly thrilled either.

She didn't know if she was trying to refute River or comfort herself when she muttered under her

breath, "I don't know how many girls envy my figure."

Her limbs were slender while her chest and hips were full. Her waist was so slim that it could be

considered a perfect hourglass shape – the kind of body that could be used for modeling.

Whenever other girls saw Averi's figure, they would come to her for advice on how they could achieve

such a perfect physique themselves.

This was the first time anyone had ever criticized Averi's body – especially someone like River.

The mere thought of this scared Averi more than anything else. What kind of woman would care so

much about what one man thought about them?

There was no logical explanation other than the fact that she liked him – which made everything even

more complicated.

Averi didn't know how to describe her current feelings. Although she had some understanding of it

before, this was the first time she confirmed it so clearly.

Unfortunately, it was in this situation when River was criticizing her body shape. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

Averi felt a little heartache. She twisted her arm and tried to break free from River's grip on her small

arm.

However, River tightened his grip even more.

Averi looked at River with annoyance. He sensed her emotions but still didn't let go of her hand.

Instead, he held onto it tighter.

The elevator arrived and Averi walked out with River holding onto her hand tightly. When they reached

the front door of Averi's house, she suddenly didn't want to let River in anymore.

She hesitated to enter the password for a while and couldn't hide any emotions from him at that

moment. Naturally, River could see through all of Averi's thoughts - some were funny while others were

helpless - but he wasn't upset about it either way.

He simply held onto Averi's finger and used her fingerprint to unlock the door without saying anything

else as they entered together silently.

"He is really rough," Averi thought to herself. She almost forgot that this man was not a good person.

As she walked into the room, an evil feeling surged from deep within her. This guy wanted to prove he

wasn't afraid of cats? Fine, she'd see how he would do it.

Averi opened the cat carriers and let the cats out. The cats seemed to have a connection with Averi

and immediately ran over to River's leg.
