Chapter 845 Don't Be Dazzled

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. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

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.

Now hearing him say these words so boldly made Averi really uncomfortable.

She collected herself and said, "I'm driving right now. Don't say these things."

River saw how quickly her ears turned red and chuckled softly saying," I can't help teasing you."

Averi was speechless.

If they weren't in traffic right now, she would have definitely argued with him about this issue.

Fortunately for Averi though, after that incident on the road, River didn't cause any more trouble for her

while driving, allowing her to focus on getting them safely to their destination without any distractions.

For no particular reason, Averi had a strong craving for street food today. There was a time when she

loved eating at roadside stalls so much that she would go to great lengths just to taste the best ones,

regardless of how far away they were.

The place where Averi brought River today was what she believed to be the best street food in all of

Innisrial back then. However, it had since been renovated into a row of snack shops that were more

organized and hygienic.

Fortunately, the owner of the stall remained unchanged and so did its taste. Averi had been here

several times before and each time confirmed that the flavor hadn't changed, which made her very

happy.

After parking their car, Averi introduced River by saying, "Welcome to my world."

River seemed somewhat surprised as his gaze shifted between the row of snack shops in front of him

and Averi's face. After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Do you really want to eat here?"

Averi nodded and said, "Or do you want to go back to the hotel?"

Earlier when River asked her what she wanted to eat, she assumed he would listen to her decision. But

Averi wasn't domineering. If River really didn't want to come here, she would take care of his feelings.

River said, "It doesn't matter. I just haven't tried it before."

Averi stared at him for a long time before confirming that he wasn't lying. She chuckled and patted his

shoulder saying, "Then you're missing out on so many delicious things!"

River laughed too but with helplessness replied, "It's okay. I'm not someone who cares too much about

food."

"Today, let me take you to experience the joy of a food street," Averi said as she hooked her arm

around River's neck and they walked together. With a wave of her hand, she added, "Let's go attack

the food street!"

Unlike the old-fashioned food streets, today's food streets were beautifully decorated and upscale.

Each storefront had its own unique characteristics, representing progress in this era.

Averi had already decided what she wanted to eat on the way there and led River straight to their

destination.

She also mentioned to him, "Actually, I prefer the old-fashioned kind without such fancy decoration. Of

course it isn't as clean or tidy either. You probably won't even want to step inside if you see it. But that

greasy smell in the air and on the streets is what makes your taste buds tingle with excitement! I don't

know if you've ever experienced it before but every time I go there and eat something, it tastes

especially delicious."

Although River had never been there before himself, he was not an ignorant person, so he could

imagine what kind of place it was like.

What surprised him though was that Averi actually liked this kind of place, which was completely

different from her personality.

As soon as Averi turned her head back towards River with some probing looks mixed with admiration,

she asked him, "What are you looking at? Is there something on my face?"

River then pulled Averi closer into his embrace saying, "I just think that you're really amazing."

Averi felt a bit uncomfortable being so close but still looked up at River with a cute little face saying,

"There are many things about me worth getting to know better. Mr. Knight, so don't get too dazzled by

me."
