Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1093

It took them about two hours by car to drive to the neighboring city, Quartz City. Halfway through the journey, Lucas, sitting in the back seat, fell asleep.

The car was quiet, and whether it was out of consideration for the child or a reminder to the person beside her, Alivia spoke softly, "Can you drive slower? Lucas is sleeping."

Bert glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Lucas sleeping soundly. He slowed down the car's speed.

Seeing that he listened, Alivia breathed a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, Bert asked indifferently, "Did you put on makeup today?"

Alivia didn't expect Bert, a straightforward guy, to say something like that. She blushed immediately, shifted her gaze to the side, and fidgeted with her hands uneasily, "Yeah."

"Because of the boy student just now, right?"

"What?" She was puzzled and didn't understand his meaning. After a moment, she realized whom he was referring to and hurriedly explained, "He's a senior from the Broadcasting Department. I joined his club, and we just happened to bump into each other on the way."

Could it be that he thought she put on makeup for Jimmy?

At his words, the coldness in Bert's deep and distinct features didn't ease. He slightly loosened his tightly pressed lips and asked, "Do you like him?"

Alivia widened her eyes in astonishment, pointing to her own face, "Me? No way. I don't even know him well."

"What's the point of hugging if you don't know him well?"

"When did I hug him? We just accidentally bumped into each other. I..." Alivia stopped abruptly and blinked her clear eyes, suddenly realizing something, "Oh, I know now. We didn't hug. There was something on my hair, and he helped me remove it, that's all."

At this point, Alivia finally understood why Bert was upset. Did he think she was putting on makeup for Jimmy, and that they were together?
