Thinking about this, she couldn't help but imagine that Bert might have feelings for her too, right? Otherwise, why would he do such things with her? Deep down, he must have some feelings for her.
Perhaps her intense gaze was too penetrating, as the man who had his back turned suddenly moved slightly. He turned over and laid flat on his back, took a deep breath, and exhaled. His eyelashes trembled before he opened his eyes.
Alivia held her breath, silently watching him glance around at the ceiling, and then his gaze met hers, revealing a hint of shock.
His expression seemed to say, "Why are you here?"
His reaction gave Alivia an ominous feeling. Their eyes met, and even though they were so close, the emotions in his eyes seemed distant.
Surprise, seriousness, and indiscernible gloom. Various emotions swirled in his eyes, but the warmth Alivia hoped to see was conspicuously absent.
His current expression resembled that of a scumbag in a TV drama who turned hostile and denied everything after the fact. Despite that, she still clung to a glimmer of hope and tremulously called out to him, "Are you awake?"
