Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 839

Chapter 839 Why Are You So Domineering?

River didn't speak for a while, and his gaze fixed on Averi as if to say, "Are you trying to tease me?" Averi understood what he meant and knew that by saying this, she had angered River. But she just wanted a clear answer - a straightforward response from River.

River met her gaze and understood her stubbornness. Suddenly, he smiled and said, "Yes, I like you." He was not the type of person who beat around the bush. He always gave straight answers. He hadn't said it before or made it clear because he didn't think it was necessary.

But now that Averi wanted an answer like this one, he wouldn't hesitate to give it to her. River's smile faded as he continued speaking, "I'm not someone who beats around the bush. Since you asked me directly, I'll be honest with you. I like you and want to take things further with you just like how you want them too. There's no point in denying it. I know exactly how you feel about me."

Averi was stunned by what River had said. His words weren't explicit but still conveyed everything clearly enough for her to understand what "further" meant in this context. It was very much in line with River's personality - straightforward and direct without any unnecessary drama or games being played between them.

Averi burst into laughter for no apparent reason, turning away and leaving River with a view of the back of her head. She laughed so hard that her body was bent like a shrimp.

She leaned on her knees, unable to stop laughing.

River was somewhat speechless by her laughter, but he didn't seem annoyed at all. Instead, he patiently watched Averi's antics until she finished laughing.

She wiped away the tears from laughing at the corners of her eyes and straightened up before turning to look at River. "Do you speak so candidly to every woman?" she asked frankly.

"I'm just being honest," River replied calmly.

Averi shrank back slightly and gave him a knowing look instead of answering him directly.
