Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 881

Chapter 881 Wearing the Ring

Averi handed the cat over to the Knight family's butler and didn't have time to reply to Mikayla's message. She could sense that River was upset, so she knew she had to make things right with him first.
River had already gone into the study when Averi arrived back at their room. She took some time to freshen up before heading over.
Averi and River were now living together in the Knight Mansion, sharing a room. While Averi tidied up in their room, River brooded in his study.
To many people, their relationship seemed too fast and incomprehensible. But since they were already together, River believed there was no problem with their feelings for each other. They matched well in every aspect.
No one couldn't understand why River would think Averi didn't want to marry him after everything they'd been through. He stood by the window smoking a cigarette as he pondered this question.
He wasn't sure if he was a good person or someone worth trusting completely, but something must have gone wrong for River to think Averi who did not to want to marry him anymore.
Averi wasn't aware of how much her words affected River's thoughts as she spent some time getting ready before finally leaving the room.
She felt a bit shy about her appearance as it was quite revealing compared to what she usually wore around him. However, she didn't care at this point and knocked on his door patiently, waiting for him to answer it himself instead of barging in like usual.
After waiting for what felt like forever, River finally opened the door. His eyes darkened upon seeing her standing there, looking so alluringly vulnerable. She was wrapped up in just a bathrobe that barely covered anything important while holding something behind her back.
A blush crept onto Averi's cheeks under his intense gaze as she fidgeted nervously with her robe saying softly "Aren't you going let me come inside?"
The robe may have been meant more so that nothing would be exposed. But, it ended up making things worse instead of better, because now it seemed like there might be something hidden underneath. That made both of them feel awkward about being alone together without any distractions or barriers between them.
Averi hadn't felt that way before, but now she felt it more strongly as the River watched.
Not daring to look into River's eyes, she lowered her lashes and said, "If you don't want me inside, I can leave… I just wanted give you something."
With that said, Averi took out a box from the pocket of the bathrobe and handed it to River.
River looked at the box, but didn't take it, and was still a little bit dumbfounded.
"What does that mean?" River asked.
Averi's face turned even redder, and she handed the box to River again, saying, "As you can see, this is the ring."
She opened the box, and a sparkling diamond ring appeared in River's vision.
River was dumbfounded even more.
He said, "Averi, you don't want to marry me, but you want me to be married you?"
Pointing at him with a diamond ring, this kind of situation was something River never thought of.
Not only did he not expect it, but he even felt it was unbelievable.
However, it seemed that there was nothing to repel.
After all, the two of them got married, so there was nothing unacceptable.
Averi glanced at River's expression secretly and said, "Actually, I bought this for myself. I didn't plan to get married before. When I saw it, I thought I could have a diamond ring without getting married. I also thought about it, if one day I meet someone I want to marry, I will give this to him and let him use this to propose to me."
River was speechless and can't understand what Averi meant.
However, this time, River did not respond to the ring.
He took the ring out of the box, took Averi's hand, and put the ring on.
