Chapter 838 Do You Like Me?

Upon hearing River's words, Averi immediately shook her head and said, "You better not touch my nails."

Her nails were precious to her and she had taken great care of them. The nail polish on them was also specially matched by her.

Now that River had cut off one of them like this, it looked so ugly.

Averi looked at her hand and felt that it was somewhat out of place. It seemed that she needed to cut it off and reapply the nail polish.

She instantly became unhappy. She had just finished doing her nails two days ago, but now this guy ruined them.

River saw Averi's changing expression and asked suspiciously, "What's wrong? Why do you look so unhappy?"

Averi didn't think she could explain this matter clearly to him. For a straight man like him, he couldn't understand how important her nails were to her.

Unable to bear the ugliness of her own nails any longer, Averi picked up the nail clipper and prepared to trim them herself.

River's gaze wandered between Averi's hand and face before he suddenly tugged at the corner of his mouth with a hint of amusement in his eyes.

Was this woman really criticizing him for cutting her nail poorly?

This was quite a blow for River. He didn't think he did such a bad job after all.

"Are you sure you don't want me to help?" River asked.

Averi didn't even lift her eyelids as she said, "No need, I can do it myself." She slowly trimmed her nails and polished them meticulously. The nail polish wasn't washed off, but Averi inexplicably felt that it was okay like this. It was barely within her acceptable range.

Averi had originally planned to redo the nail polish herself. However, with River here, there were many inconveniences. She couldn't just leave River here while she spent several hours redoing her nails. Nor could she simply ask River to help her apply the polish.

After putting away the nail clipper, Averi finally looked at River and asked, "Aren't you going back?"

River almost got angry when he heard this woman's words. Was she trying to kick him out?

"What did I come here for? Did you forget?" River replied.

Averi adjusted her expression and said, "You said you came to pick me up, but I didn't agree to go back with you."

River wasn't surprised by what she said and wasn't in a rush to take her home either. After all, once they got back home and Beata started clinging onto Averi like a leech again, their relationship would become even more complicated than before.

"Okay, then don't come home with me," River said.

Averi was a little surprised and didn't understand when River had become so easy to talk to. She always felt like there was some kind of conspiracy going on.

Averi stared at River for a while, but couldn't tell that he wanted to leave. This made Averi even more confused.

"What is this guy up to?" she thought.

Suddenly, River chuckled and said, "Looking at me like that, did you figure something out?"

His gaze met Averi's and he caught her slight panic perfectly.

Averi instinctively tried to look away but was firmly held by the chin by River. She couldn't move and could only be held by him as their gazes intertwined. This feeling was very strange and made Averi inexplicably sad.

After much hesitation, Averi finally seemed to have made a big decision and asked River, "River, do you like me?"
