Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 833

Chapter 833 How Will He Prove It?

Averi grabbed her cat carriers from the car and turned around to see River standing behind her. Her cat carriers bumped into River.

Averi was startled, but then she breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, the cat carriers protected her from hitting River. Otherwise, she would have been the one who got hurt.

River noticed Averi's relieved expression and chuckled, "What? Do you dislike me that much?"

Averi was confused by his conclusion. It seemed strange to her.

River continued teasingly, "If you don't dislike me, why are you so relaxed?"

Averi choked for a moment before looking up at River with a serious expression and saying, "I'm afraid of hitting you."

She spoke earnestly as if it were really true.

River laughed lightly at Averi's response and leaned in closer to her with interest. He said playfully, "Actually, I wouldn't mind if you did hit me."

Averi was speechless at River's words. If she wasn't holding onto the cat carriers tightly in her hand right now, she would have punched him for being so weird.

This guy... she couldn't figure out what was wrong with him. He always seemed strange no matter what he did or said.

Soon, Averi had an idea and held out the cat bags in her arms to River, saying, "Are you not afraid of cats now?"

River looked down at the little things in her arms and suddenly laughed. "Who told you I'm afraid of cats?"

This made Averi a little confused. Did she really need someone to tell her that? She could see for herself that he clearly didn't like cats.

Seemingly sensing Averi's thoughts, River chuckled softly and said, "I just don't like their shedding fur. But that doesn't mean I'm afraid of them."

Averi had no problem accepting this explanation. However, she couldn't resist teasing River a bit.

"But you give off the impression that you're scared of them," she said.

Otherwise, why would he always make sure to lock up the cats whenever he came over?

For this reason alone, Averi was very protective of her furry babies.

River was left speechless by Averi's words and his eyes grew deeper with amusement.

"Looks like you want me to prove I'm not scared of cats," he said with a smile.

Averi didn't have any such intention but before she knew it, River had reached over and taken the cat bags from her arms.

Through the bags' mesh window and because these particular felines had just been groomed recently, they weren't shedding as much as usual and looking better than ever before!

Averi tilted her head and suddenly thought of something, smiled and said, "Is this how you prove that you're not afraid of cats?"

River couldn't possibly miss the meaning behind her words.

He chuckled lightly and said, "Then let's go upstairs and I'll show you."

Originally, there was nothing wrong with what he said.

But somehow Averi heard a hint of flirtation in his words.

Her face unconsciously blushed, looking particularly good under the sun.

This wasn't the first time River had seen Averi blush, but he still couldn't take his eyes off her.

For a moment, neither of them spoke.

Finally Averi realized what was going on and turned to say, "Okay."

Without waiting for River or caring about him holding onto her cat bags, she lifted her feet towards the door. Her footsteps were not as steady as usual, as if both feet were soft and weak.

River watched Averi's back as his lips involuntarily curved upwards.

How could she be so cute?

She didn't know if she was trying to refute River or comfort herself when she muttered under her breath, "I don't know how many girls envy my figure."

Her limbs were slender while her chest and hips were full. Her waist was so slim that it could be considered a perfect hourglass shape – the kind of body that could be used for modeling.

Whenever other girls saw Averi's figure, they would come to her for advice on how they could achieve such a perfect physique themselves.

This was the first time anyone had ever criticized Averi's body – especially someone like River.

The mere thought of this scared Averi more than anything else. What kind of woman would care so much about what one man thought about them?

There was no logical explanation other than the fact that she liked him – which made everything even more complicated.

Averi didn't know how to describe her current feelings. Although she had some understanding of it before, this was the first time she confirmed it so clearly.

Unfortunately, it was in this situation when River was criticizing her body shape.

Averi felt a little heartache. She twisted her arm and tried to break free from River's grip on her small arm.

However, River tightened his grip even more.

Averi looked at River with annoyance. He sensed her emotions but still didn't let go of her hand. Instead, he held onto it tighter.

The elevator arrived and Averi walked out with River holding onto her hand tightly. When they reached the front door of Averi's house, she suddenly didn't want to let River in anymore.

She hesitated to enter the password for a while and couldn't hide any emotions from him at that moment. Naturally, River could see through all of Averi's thoughts - some were funny while others were helpless - but he wasn't upset about it either way.

He simply held onto Averi's finger and used her fingerprint to unlock the door without saying anything else as they entered together silently.

"He is really rough," Averi thought to herself. She almost forgot that this man was not a good person.

As she walked into the room, an evil feeling surged from deep within her. This guy wanted to prove he wasn't afraid of cats? Fine, she'd see how he would do it.

Averi opened the cat carriers and let the cats out. The cats seemed to have a connection with Averi and immediately ran over to River's leg.
