Ch. 4604: Married At First Sight Chapter 4604
Chapter 4604
But the truth was, Romina had signed that agreementâand it was in black and white. She couldnât back out now. She had no choice but to tough it out for the month.
âHow did I trap you?â River countered. âWerenât you the one who teased me, flirted with me, and then walked away like it meant nothing? In front of all those people, you practically threw yourself at meâhugging me, kissing me, touching me. That wasnât my idea. Maddox tried to stop you that night. He told you not to drink more and even offered to take you home, but you insisted on messing with me.
âEveryone saw it. Now people think weâre involved, and my reputationâs taken a hit. Itâs harder for me to find someone to marry. So really, arranging these blind dates? Thatâs your way of making up for it. I never forced you.â
Rominaâs face turned red and black with frustration.
He wasnât wrong.
Sheâd done this to herself.
Setting the bouquet on the table, she said sharply, âAlright, enough. Iâm not taking it. You can take it back.â
River crossed his arms. âToo late. I already delivered it. If you really donât want it, throw it away. Just so you know, thereâs an expensive necklace tucked under the flowers.â
Romina glared. âDo you think I wonât throw it out?â
River smiled. âOh, I know you will. I didnât say you wouldnât. Iâm just saying⌠that bouquet cost me a fortune. Itâs from the heart. You know, this is the first time Iâve ever given a girl money. Itâs meaningful to me. If you throw it away, Iâll be really sad.â
Romina muttered under her breath, âIâm not your girlfriend. Why are you giving me money?â
River caught that.
âYou could be my girlfriend,â he said seriously. âIâd give you money every dayâspend whatever you want, no questions asked.â
Romina rolled her eyes. âWho wants your money? Iâve got plenty of my own.â
River replied, âI know youâre rich. But youâve never spent money someone else gave you. Just try it. Spend your husbandâs money for once. Whatâs the point of saving it for someone else?â
âRiver!â
Rominaâs face darkened again. âDonât push it!â
Now he was really crossing the line.
They werenât even dating, and here he was talking about marriage.
River grinned. âRomina, I think youâre beautifulâand honestly, youâre a great match for me. Weâre close in age, weâre both single. Letâs just date. What do you think? Iâve got the looks, the status, the educationâwho else in Eaglioncile can even compare?â
He was confident. Maybe too confident.
Romina scolded, âRiver, can you be serious for once?â
âI am serious,â River said calmly. âIâm not joking at all.â
Romina opened her mouth to respond but didnât know what to say.
They stared at each other.
She looked helpless and slightly angry.
He smiled softly, his expression full of emotion.
Romina finally said, âRiver, Iâm busy. I donât have time for your games. Take your money and go. And donât forgetâweâre business rivals!â
