Healing my disabled husband novel Chapter 929

Chapter 929 Why did You have to Say such Serious Things

River and Averi returned to their room, where Averi was still gossiping. "What's up? Is Beata really in love?" she asked.

"I don't think so," River replied.

But his suspicion had taken root in his mind, and he planned to call everyone together and ask them about it.

Averi said, "I thought you found something out. Beata is very sensible, but she's still a young girl. Don't be too hard on her, or she might rebel and do something you can't imagine."

"I know," River said.

After thinking for a moment, he shared his thoughts with Averi.

Averi looked at him incredulously. "You suspect Beata and her bodyguard?"

She wasn't criticizing the bodyguard's job; she was just surprised that they were all much older than Beata. Even if Beata had such an idea, Averi didn't think they would reciprocate it.

Of course, age didn't matter when it came to love. But there was one important thing: Beata was underage.

Even if someone among them loved Beata romantically, they wouldn't dare pursue that direction while she was still a minor.

River knew his subordinates well; he knew their personalities well enough to know this wasn't possible.

"I may have been overthinking things," River admitted.

"What's wrong with you? You're not usually like this," Averi remarked.

"Maybe I'm getting old," River joked "and becoming more like a father."

Averi didn't respond immediately but instead looked at River before asking him, "Do you want children?"

River was taken aback for a moment before replying, "It doesn't matter much to me. I'm not exactly the type who gets close to kids."

He always kept Hayden family's three children at arm's length whenever he visited them with Averie because of how uncomfortable it made him feel around kids.

"If it weren't for your fondness of them," He continued, "I wouldn't even bother going near those kids."

"Oh," Avari said disappointedly, "I thought you liked children."

As soon as the words left her mouth though, River noticed a hint of disappointment in her eyes which made him look at her more closely than usual.

River said, "I don't mean to not have children."

"I know," Averi nodded and said, "I don't want to have children right now either."
