In her memory, or rather, the Bert she knew, would never waste time on women, let alone please or take care of someone. She never imagined what it would look like if Bert truly loved someone.
She couldn't imagine, at best, she just knew that the type he liked was like Evelyn. If more specific, there was simply no way to verify.
But now, the man she thought would do nothing was pressing her feet.
Alivia felt awkward, but at the same time, she could not suppress her excitement.
After hearing her words, Bert paused while massaging her ankle, but it was just a flash. In the next second, he returned to normal, his voice was very calm, "Because you need my care."
Need care.
These words are like a basin of cold water poured from the top of her head, waking Alivia up a lot.
She forced a smile, her eyes full of bitterness, "So, that's it."
"Yes," Bert felt the water temperature gradually cooling down, he got up and stood up, "I'm going to get a towel."
A minute later, the man returned with a soft, clean white towel in his hand. He wrapped the towel around her feet and gently pressed it to absorb the excess water.
The scene that Alivia just found warm now seemed a little upsetting to her. She restrained herself several times, but in the end, she couldn't hold back, "Actually, you don't have to be nice to me because of guilt. I do need care, but..."
At this point, she paused slightly and looked directly into the eyes of the man looking at her, "It doesn't necessarily have to be your care."
