Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 1097

The roaring sound of the turbulent sea echoed in her ears, and the deserted streets made the atmosphere even more comforting. Bert had his hands in his pockets, pausing his steps momentarily, and looked at her seriously, "You really like Lucas."

This time, he didn't ask her; it was more of a statement.

Alivia didn't shy away either, "Yes, he's a very likable kid."

"Why?" he suddenly asked.

Alivia was taken aback for a moment before understanding that he was asking why she liked Lucas.

"There's no particular reason. I just see him as very pure, innocent. A child's heart isn't as complicated as that of an adult; it's a gift from God to this world. He has a good nature, so I have a special fondness for him," Alivia explained gently, her eyes shining with tenderness, which softened her entire demeanor.

It is often said that women naturally possess maternal instincts, and at this moment, Bert could clearly see that in her.

An unusual feeling surged within him, one that had been appearing continuously in the past few days, making him instinctively want to avoid it. He couldn't quite explain why, but he noticed that the woman beside him had changed slightly.

Alivia leaned on the railing by the sea, gazing at the dark ocean in the distance. The moonlight cast a shimmering reflection on the water, resembling a river of stars sprinkled across the sea.

She took out her phone from her pocket and snapped a picture of the distant sea. As she prepared to save it, she caught a glimpse of Bert standing nearby, his tall figure leaning against the railing. His long left arm lazily rested on top, while the right arm slightly bent, holding a cigarette near his lips as he leisurely took a drag. The night breeze blew his bangs, but he didn't seem to mind, exuding a touch of decadence.

The streetlights weren't particularly bright, mostly casting a dull yellow glow, but when they fell upon him, they seemed to add an irresistible charm.

Before knowing Bert, Alivia used to think that a man's attractiveness depended on his facial features. However, after getting to know him, she realized that true handsomeness wasn't about looks alone; it was about temperament, aura, and an inexplicable magnetism that drew people in when he was around.
