Married At First Sight Chapter 4701 – Maddox sighed enviously. “River’s about to kiss his single life goodbye, and here I am—still single. I was planning to get closer to Romina, but River swooped in first.”
Donovan’s dark eyes glimmered. “You can still go after my sister. Romina hasn’t accepted River’s advances yet, so they’re not officially together. You still have a shot. Compete fairly—make River nervous. A little pressure might actually push them to settle down faster. And when they get married, I’ll make it worth your while with a generous red envelope.”
He wanted the two to make it official sooner rather than later.
River was thirty-one, Romina twenty-nine. A few extra years wouldn’t bother River—men in their thirties were at their peak: mature, stable, and at the height of their charm. But for women, thirty was a sensitive number. Marriage and pregnancy after that meant being labeled “advanced maternal age.”
Maddox frowned. “Brother Donovan, you knew Romina had feelings for River and still told me to chase her? The only reason I’ve backed off is because after a few dinners, blind dates, and banquets, River already sees me as a rival. If I keep pushing, I won’t win Romina—and River will see me as a lifelong enemy. He’s not just any man; he’s the seventh young master of the York family. I can’t afford to make that kind of enemy.”
He added, “I have to think of the Johnstone family.”
Before knowing River’s identity, Maddox had assumed he was just another white-collar worker. Once he learned the truth, he realized how foolish it would be to underestimate him. Now, he wanted to stay out of River’s crosshairs entirely.
