“What happened, Rosalie? Why do you look startled?”River saw the effect he had on her and continued talking to her softly.As expected of Serenity, her simple guidance allowed him to catch his enemy off guard.Despite having known Rosalie for many years, it was his first time seeing a surprised look on her face—as if she had seen a ghost.River found it satisfying.Rosalie asked, “Are you River York?”“Of course. Don’t you recognize me? I’m sad. I’m confident that I can identify you even if you turn to ashes.”River maintained his gentle tone and gaze.Rosalie had goosebumps from listening to him. Serenity thought, ‘This rascal learns pretty quickly.’“Aunt Rose.”Callia and Heath greeted Rosalie. Serenity looked toward River and told Rosalie, “Ignore him, Rosalie. Let’s go shopping.”Rosalie continued staring at River with a confused face. Then, she pulled Serenity aside and asked softly, “What happened to River, Serenity? Why is he suddenly talking to me gently? He

“Thank you, darlings.”River smiled. “But I don’t need to borrow money from you two. I can earn it myself.“Thank you for being so thoughtful. The love I showered on you two was definitely not wasted.”Heath said, “But we want to have a new aunt quickly. I think we should still lend you some money to get married, Uncle River. You can return the money bit by bit in the future after earning more.“We won’t even charge you interest. You can return a small amount of money to us whenever you earn some. We won’t even pressure you. If Callia and I don’t have enough money, we can borrow it from Merry.”River laughed. “I can’t believe you even know that you should charge interest when lending money.”As expected of a child of the York family. Heath was knowledgeable at such a young age.“Is it okay, Uncle River?”River patted Heath’s head. He said, “You can lend me money, but I haven’t found someone I want to marry. This is a significant event in everyone’s life. Since I’m going to live

“I need a partner. Why don’t you rob the bank with me? You can be on the lookout, and we can divide the money between us. How does that sound?”Rosalie said angrily, “I’m a citizen who abides by the law. I won’t involve myself in illegal activities.”“I won’t do it if I don’t have a partner. Since I can’t rob the bank, I’ll rob you instead.”River’s shameless attitude made Rosalie even furious. She said, “A man like you is better off not dating to avoid harming innocent girls. Serenity even asked me to introduce a girlfriend to you.”“I’m not dating. Can’t you see that I’m still single at thirty-one?”River smiled. “Did my sister-in-law ask you for help? I can’t believe she requested you to help with something I find embarrassing. Isn’t she just letting you ridicule me?“Luckily, we’re in the same situation. Neither of us has gotten married. We’re single.”Rosalie glared at him before walking away with the clothes. She did not want to continue quarreling with him. She also decid

River got into the car with a big smile.When Serenity saw him smiling as if he had dug up gold, she asked curiously, “Why are you smiling, River?”“Rosalie gave me a set of clothes.”River raised the bag in his hand. His eyes crinkled at the corners as he smiled wider. “Didn’t Rosalie buy it for her brother? Did she get a set for you, too?”“I don’t know. She said this was compensation for my hard work, but I think she was just using it as an excuse to give me clothes and hint that she has feelings for me.“I knew it. She can’t possibly resist my charm after knowing me for years when I’m such an outstanding man.”Serenity was speechless. River was the one who had developed feelings for Rosalie, yet he claimed that she could not resist his charm. If Rosalie heard him, she would probably snatch the clothes back and throw them away. River took the clothes out of the bag and held them against his body. He said, “I have to admit that Rosalie has a good eye for fashion, Serenity.

River did not know Rosalie had blocked him again. He wanted to call her after not receiving her reply for some time. However, he found out he could not call her.“Did she block me again? She does it hundreds of times every day,” River complained. He gave up on contacting her and took more selfies before taking off the new clothes. He would have someone take the clothes to the dry cleaner tomorrow and wear them again. Unfortunately, Rosalie had only given him a set of clothes. Why did she not give him more when she had bought so many? That way, he could wear the clothes she purchased for him every day.Huh?What was he thinking?River suddenly realized his thoughts were heading in the wrong direction. He and Rosalie were sworn enemies. How could he want her to gift him a few sets of clothes so he could wear them daily?Serenity’s words flashed across his mind. She asked him if he ever considered that he might have fallen in love with Rosalie.River had denied it firmly
