Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 962

Chapter 962 I'll Wait for You to Come Back

At 6:30 in the morning, Beata came downstairs with two huge dark circles under her eyes. When she saw River and Averi, she hesitated for a moment before staring at them suspiciously. "Did you guys not sleep?"
River had a headache as soon as he saw Beata like this. How did things end up like this? He really couldn't understand it. But Averi was right - they needed to observe.
"You can clearly see your dark circles," River said to Beata. "It's obvious that you didn't sleep."
"I did sleep," Beata replied defensively. "I just slept a little late."
River took the opportunity to ask, "What were you doing instead of sleeping at night?"
Beata didn't dare answer that question.
God knew what she did all night without sleeping.
She spent the whole night thinking about Yael and working on character outlines for her novel until she finally finished them in the early hours of the morning and sent them off to her editor with a note, unsure if they would approve or not.
Thinking about it now gave Beata a headache.
She was still just an ordinary author without much say in anything yet, but even so, she hoped that this time around she could write something according to her own preferences and likes because otherwise, it would drive her crazy.
"Isn't it because I'm just an insignificant author with no rights?" Beata complained while showing River her scalp up close.
River pushed her away with his hand and said, "No one forced you into writing what you like."
Beata remained silent after hearing that remark - he was right; everything was self-imposed upon herself anyway.
"Alright then," River said finally. "Eat breakfast before going to school; don't cry if you're late."
Beata stuck out her tongue before heading towards the dining room but instead grabbed two portions of breakfast before leaving directly out of the door. That naturally caught both River's and Averi's attention. Averi noticed how River's face turned grim upon seeing Yael waiting outside for Beata all along.
Averi knew there wasn't anything else left for him to do except watch silently since they already knew who waited outside every day ready taking Beata off their hands – Yael.
In fact, River found himself laughing from being so angry over everything when he finally spoke again after some time had passed, "I've gone ahead and found myself my own brother-in-law."
"At least we know where he comes from," added Averi.
"But seriously though…he's way too old compared to Beata."
Averi didn't say anything. She didn't know what to say.
River was also speechless. Right now, all he felt was absurdity.
This was ridiculous!
The problem was, there was nowhere to go to resolve this.
It was all because of his big mouth and stubbornness. Now, he had become the one who assisted in the situation.
What else can be said?
However, one thing River knew for sure was that he needed to talk to Yael about this. He can't just ignore everything as an older brother; that would be too unreliable of him.
He rubbed Averi's head with his hand and said, "You were tired all night last night. Go upstairs and rest for a while."
Averi asked, "What about you?"
River replied, "I'm going to the company."
Upon hearing this, Averi said, "You should have told me not to let you send me back home earlier, so we wouldn't have had unnecessary back-and-forth."
River responded,"That goes without saying! Can I let you run around by yourself?"
As Averi leaned in close towards River's lips and kissed them lightly, she said, "Then come back soon; I'll wait for you."
