    Chapter 834 Don''t Smoke Inside Anymore


    River reached out to close the door when suddenly a furry thing darted past his feet, causing him to


    instinctively jump to the side.


    The next moment, he heard Averi''s unreservedughter.


    Looking up, he saw Averi holding her arms and staring at him brazenly without any attempt to hide her


    amusement.


    "I thought you were not afraid of cats. What are you hiding from?" Averi asked in a deliberately


    sarcastic tone.


    River raised an eyebrow and looked at Averi with a mixture of amusement and resignation. This


    woman intentionally let the cats out in an attempt to scare him.


    Without saying much, River bent down and scooped up a cat with his long arm effortlessly. The usually


    arrogant cat did not even struggle when River picked it up, perfectly demonstrating what it meant by


    being "well-behaved."


    Averi widened her eyes in disbelief as she watched this scene unfold before her eyes.


    River walked towards Averi while carrying the cat and stopped one step away from her. He raised his


    eyebrows slightly and said, "What? Do you want me to show you how I hold a cat?"


    For some reason, Averi felt threatened by his words.


    She quickly shook her head and reached for the cat back into her arms again. She now fully believed


    that River was not afraid of cats. Rather, it was cats who were afraid of him.


    But still... he really didn''t seem like someone who loved cats. Cat lovers wouldn''t carry them around like


    that!


    Even if no one else said it, Beata would definitely feel heartbroken seeing River carrying the cat in that


    way. She would call it her little sweetheart and worry about the cat.


    Averi stroked the cat and ced it on the ground, saying, "You''ve proven your point. You can leave

    now."


    River chuckled again, a bit mischievously. "What do you think I''m here for?"


    Averi was taken aback but quickly remembered what River had told her: Beata misses her.


    She felt a mix of emotions - amused and confused at the same time. After hesitating for a moment,


    Averi tentatively asked, "So you''re telling me that you''re here to take me to your ce?"


    River raised an eyebrow but didn''t confirm or deny anything.


    Averi was even more confused now. "Actually, Beata can just arrange to meet with me alone without


    going to your ce."


    "Why? Are you saying you don''t want to see me?" River narrowed his eyes dangerously.


    Averi didn''t understand how he came up with that conclusion but she couldn''t deny that she hadn''t


    sorted out her own feelings yet. She wasn''t sure about his intentions either so rushing into things would


    be embarrassing if she assumed too much.


    River saw Averi purse her lips and knew exactly what she was thinking, even though she didn''t say


    anything.


    Feeling a bit out of control, River bit inside his cheek and suppressed the urge to press her against the


    wall and kiss her fiercely.


    "You really know how to piss people off," River said.


    Averi pouted innocently. She hadn''t said anything, so how could she have pissed him off?


    Pursing her lips again, Averi asked, "So you mean you want me toe over to your ce?"


    River couldn''t help butugh at her. He turned his gaze away from hers and pulled out a cigarette box


    from his pocket. He shook one out and put it in his mouth.


    Averi watched him intently as he lit up the cigarette. Inwardly, she sighed at how sexy he looked with a


    cigarette between his teeth.


    At the same time, Averi spoiled the moment by saying disapprovingly, "Don''t smoke inside."
