But this action shattered all of Alivia's fantasies. When Alivia touched him, even in a sober state, he would avoid her, perhaps because he simply disliked her.
A bitter feeling rose in her nose, and before the tears could fall, Alivia turned away heavily. All her courage had been used up in that confession, and now she just wanted to hide.
"Please leave! Leave me alone for a while," she tried to make her voice sound calm, but the choked trembling was impossible to hide.
Bert's intense gaze fixed on the delicate figure, her cheeks slightly bulging due to clenched teeth, and her hands hanging by her sides tightly clenched into fists. Finally, he said nothing, turned around, and left the room.
With his oppressive presence gone, Alivia gently closed her eyes, and tears streamed down her cheeks.
He left.
In the end, he left.
In an instant, all the strength in her body was drained. She slowly crouched down, burying her face in the bed as tears wet her cheeks. She knew their room was next door, so she restrained her sobbing, clenching her teeth tightly, almost biting a bloodstain into her lower lip.
She felt like a joke, thinking about his cold expression, remembering how he remained silent after her confession. Feelings of self-doubt, weakness, and being unaccepted engulfed her in an instant.
Alivia thought to herself, "You really overestimate yourself. No matter how good the man is to you, it is just because Lucas likes you. From the beginning to the end, he has never fallen in love with you. Moreover, he has never treated her as a woman."
He was such a high-ranking and dignified man. How could someone like her, who had nothing at all, have such wishful thinking?
At this moment, Alivia did not have the courage to appear in front of that man.
