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 unreserved laughter.
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 placed 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?"
