Chapter 4502
“Romina, you’re overthinking it. I stand by what’s right, not just by family. I’d never help River trap you. I just told him to be nicer to girls. Even if you two don’t get along, you’re still a girl. He probably just started with you. Either way, you’ll get used to it eventually. Let’s go. The more you’re afraid of him being nice, the more he’ll use that against you.”
Serenity took Romina’s hand and started walking. After a few steps, she turned back and said, “River, bring the kids along.”
She hadn’t brought a nanny, so she had River take care of the baby. It was also a chance for Romina to see how good he was with kids—it might even earn him a few extra points.
River picked up Belle and reached for Maverick’s hand, but Maverick didn’t need any help.
“Uncle River,” Maverick asked quietly, “why is my mom being so nice to Aunt Romina? Aunt Romina hit you before, and you said she’s your enemy. Since you’re family, that means she should be our enemy too. So why is Mom being nice to her?”
River glanced at the two women walking ahead, then said calmly, “Kiddo, this is the mysterious heart of a woman—like trying to find a needle in the ocean. Even I don’t know what your mom’s thinking. Just follow along and try not to upset them, okay?”
