Averi didn't say anything more. In her mind, she wasn't just scaring herself, but also thinking about a possibility.
River didn't say much either and just drove in silence.
Soon enough, Averi's curiosity was satisfied as River brought her to the Mirth Hotel.
As they got out of the car, Averi couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy. She finally realized that River was serious about spending their wedding night together. Otherwise, why would he bring her to a hotel?
River noticed that Averi hadn't moved for quite some time and chuckled before asking teasingly, "What's wrong? Are you scared?"
Averi took a deep breath and turned to face him. After thinking for a moment, she cautiously asked him, "River... even though we're legally married now... isn't this moving too fast?"
She couldn't believe that they were going straight from getting their marriage certificate to doing something so intimate at a hotel. Even if she liked him very much, this pace was still too overwhelming for her conservative nature.
River looked down at her for what felt like an eternity before letting out another chuckle and saying playfully, "Are you really that scared? Or do you not want to do it?"
Averi had no idea how to respond. She couldn't decide whether or not she wanted it or if she was simply too afraid of what might happen next.
Everyone had thoughts, needs, and desires. But sometimes things just happened too quickly.
River laughed by how Averi looked and couldn't help but say, "I brought you here for dinner. Am I really that eager to do it? It's not even dark yet."
Averi felt the urge to bite River. Why did he have to speak so ambiguously? It made her mind wander.
Giving River a disapproving look, Averi realized she was actually getting hungry.
"Why did you bring me here?" Averi asked with a hint of frustration. River didn't even bother asking what she wanted to eat.
"This place has ambiance," River replied with a shrug.
Averi was unexpectedly touched by his answer but still said, "I don't really feel like eating this kind of food right now."
"What do you want then?" River asked.
Averi smiled wryly and said, "Why don't you come with me?"
Without any objection from River, they had the valet bring the car around again and this time it was Averi who drove them both away.
River had noticed before that Averi was an excellent driver. She didn't even need to use navigation and knew the roads of the entire city like the back of her hand. This was a rare talent that River couldn't help but admire.
When Averi drove, she was very focused. Sensing River's gaze on her, she looked over with helplessness and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you staring at me like that? It's kind of weird."
But River just continued to look at her boldly and said, "I just feel like I've married a treasure."
Averi was so taken aback by this sudden confession that she almost lost control of the steering wheel. She wasn't used to this side of River, which gave her a strange feeling.
He had never said such things before and it wasn't something she would expect from him based on what she knew about him.
