Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1068

"Do you like Lucas because he's Evelyn's child?" She gathered her courage and asked, her heart urging her to say what she wanted to say, "But she has a family now. What's the point of giving so much without gaining anything in return?"

Bert's steps halted upon hearing her words. Under the dim corridor lights, he slightly turned his face, and his chiseled features appeared even sharper in the gentle glow. "You don't understand."

"I may not understand," Alivia breathed heavily, refusing to back down, "I've never been in a relationship, so I'm not qualified to lecture you. But isn't liking someone about being with them? Everything you're doing now, besides nursing your own grievances, what's the purpose?"

She didn't believe that a princess necessarily required a black knight by her side. If the princess already had a prince, the black knight should let go and pursue his own happiness, instead of continuing to entangle himself and disturb his own peace of mind.

Bert's hand, hanging at his side, suddenly clenched tightly as he struggled to control his emotions. No one had dared to talk to him about Evelyn, not even his subordinates. Everyone knew that Evelyn was a sensitive topic, but she dared.

He thought he would erupt in anger due to her meddling, but surprisingly, he didn't. Even he didn't expect that he would just stand there and calmly respond, word by word, "What do you know about feelings? Giving and taking back as you wish? We once relied on each other, and there's something more precious than love between us. You think it's only me who gives, but she has given me much more than you can imagine. I'm not a good person, but I'm not heartless either."

To outsiders, he might appear indifferent, but to those who had found a place in his heart, he was like a burning iron.
