Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1070

Alivia cleared her throat softly, "Well, thank you."

Bert looked at the woman with her lowered eyelashes, casting a shadow over her eyelids, making her seem delicate and vulnerable, "Being around me is not safe for you. Leaving is a good thing for you."

After all, she had been shot, and she knew what he meant by "not safe." He was not an ordinary person, and if it weren't for Evelyn's child, he wouldn't have chosen to come back.

After all, in a highly restrictive country like Country Z, life must have been more comfortable in Eoland.

Alivia didn't know what to say and nodded in silence.

The meal lasted for an hour. Alivia always felt that it was cruel to eat with him before. She never said a word with a cold face, and the whole person exuded a kind of indifference that strangers were not allowed to enter. Every time she ate, she had indigestion, but this time she felt that time passed quickly.

Alivia might really be facing separation soon, so even that terrifying atmosphere can be ignored.

After having their meal, Bert had something to attend to in the afternoon, and his assistant was already waiting by the private room's door. Alivia didn't say much, fearing that she might delay him.

She simply raised her head and met those profound and serious blue eyes, saying, "Goodbye."

Watching the man's figure go away, she kept her gaze on him until he completely disappeared from her sight. Then, she turned and walked to the service desk, saying, "I'll pay the bill, please."

"I'm sorry, ma'am, but the gentleman already settled the bill."

"He did?" Alivia was surprised. She didn't see him leave. Could it be his assistant to help with it?

He had accepted her treat, but he actually paid the bill. Alivia sighed heavily, "Why does it have to be like this?"

"You're welcome."

After getting out of the car, Alivia dragged her heavy suitcase toward the entrance of her building. She lived on the third floor, not too high. Although she took a few breaks along the way, she finally made it.

She reached into her bag to find the key and opened the door. The small two-bedroom apartment felt cramped and crowded. The yellowed white floor tiles were covered in dust, and most of the furniture had been used for over ten years, giving the place a somewhat old-fashioned look.

Alivia thought there would be nobody at home, but unexpectedly, her younger brother, Henry, was there. He came out of his room and looked very flustered when he saw her, "Alivia, why are you back?"

His words puzzled Alivia. She had always been close to Henry, so shouldn't he be happy to see her back?

But the next moment, when she saw a short girl in pajamas coming out of his bedroom, she understood why he was acting this way.
