Chapter 978 How Hurt I Really Am

Beata couldn't help but burst out laughing at Yael's words. She looked at him and said, "I didn't know you were such a male chauvinist."

Yael didn't defend himself, as he knew that he was indeed one in this aspect. Or maybe it was just his dominance that made him think like this.

Beata wasn't uncomfortable with it though, probably because she really liked Yael now. So anything he said automatically sounded sweet to her ears, as long as it didn't hit any sensitive spots.

And this kind of dominant talk actually suited Beata quite well.

"I do like you," Beata said with a smile.

Yael had to restrain himself from pulling the girl into his arms and hugging her tightly. Of course, what he wanted to do was much more than that. But Yael was afraid of scaring Beata away so he refrained from doing so.

Beata blushed and kept staring at Yael until something soft touched the back of her foot which drew her attention away from him. She lowered her gaze towards Number Four who had stopped walking and lay down on the ground instead.

"Yael, Number Four seems tired," Beata said softly.

"Then let's go back," Yael replied calmly.

Beata nodded obediently while still holding onto the leash for their biggest dog while Yael held onto two other dogs along along with Number Four who refused to walk anymore and demanded someone carry her instead.

When they arrived home after their walk together, Beata felt thirsty so she went straight towards the fridge without hesitation, but before she could drink any water, Yael took away the bottle from her hand saying, "Drink something warm."

Beata frowned at Yael, obviously unhappy about not being allowed to drink cold water but Yael explained, "It's too hot outside. Drinking cold water will give you a headache."

She stared silently at Yael, feeling like maybe they shouldn't be dating each other if all he did was to treat her like a little sister rather than girlfriend. It wasn't surprising then why River hadn't objected when she told him about dating Yael.

River must have already known that being together meant being under constant supervision by Yael's watchful eyes.

Drinking the warm water that Yael handed her, Beata said, "Did you and my brother conspire to have you take charge of me from now on?"

Yael looked at Beata in confusion, not knowing where she got this idea.

Beata continued, "Otherwise, why didn't you give me ice water?"

Yael sighed and chuckled softly. "Before, you were the young lady and I had to obey your every command. There were many things I wanted to manage but couldn't. Now that you're my girlfriend, I need to take responsibility for your well-being."

"Oh," Beata said with a hint of disappointment in her voice. "So all this time you only saw me as a young lady? I thought we were good friends." She deliberately made a sad face to show how hurt she was. Yael knew she was acting but still felt tugged at by her words.

"Of course not," Yael replied quickly. "I don't really want to control you. You can do whatever you want and be free. But I'll always be there for support."
