Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1090

"Really?" he asked softly, his tone uncertain.

"Really," Evelyn hesitated for a moment but still placed her hand gently on the man's broad back, playfully teasing him, "You're so handsome, wealthy, and kind to me. As a woman, it's hard not to be moved by that, you know?"

Unexpectedly, the man remained serious, "I'm not joking with you."

"I'm not joking," Evelyn pursed her lips slightly and snickered silently, "This is my true thought."

Huston had never thought that being handsome and wealthy was such a big deal. To him, a man's character and strength were the most important attributes. However, hearing her words now, he couldn't help but be grateful for having been blessed with such a handsome face.

With a chuckle, Evelyn stretched her tone and agreed, "Okay."

"Yeah, she hardly ever puts on makeup. Today, she's so diligently getting ready. She must be meeting her boyfriend!" Alivia's neighbor and dorm mate, Fan Martin, chimed in. Everyone called her Fenny.

Alivia felt so embarrassed by their teasing that she could barely lift her head. She was naturally shy, but luckily, her foundation covered her blushing face, "No, stop making up stories, you guys."

"We're not making up stories; we're telling the truth. We've got so many boys pursuing you in our department, and you don't like any of them. Turns out, your heart already belongs to someone else, right?" Lillian playfully leaned in, squinting her eyes as if to probe, "I guess that's the case, right?"
