"Tomorrow night?" Everything happened so suddenly that she was a little flustered.
It was almost midnight. That was to say, he was going to let her talk to him immediately and choose such an occasion.
It was self-evident what he meant to let her go as his female companion. No matter what position Bert had, whether he helped her or did it on purpose, once he did this, Huston would be angry.
She was a little worried. "I just want to talk about the child. I don't want to irritate him."
"Are you afraid?"
"No!" She refused without hesitation. Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, she became emotional. After saying that, she seemed to realize that she was too sensitive. She paused and said, "I just don't want to have anything more to do with him."
Hearing this, Bert seemed to have heard a joke. He crossed his legs elegantly and looked at her patiently. "You've already irritated him by fighting for the child. What's the difference?"
His words choked her. Indeed, what she had done was already what Huston disliked the most, so it didn't matter what method she used.
However, ...
At the thought that Bert was going to meet Huston with her in the middle, she felt particularly uncertain. When they were in Eoland, they were still able to fight in the hospital like this, which would probably be more intense in Jewel City.
Her hesitation and thoughts were presented all over her face. How could a smart person like Bert not see through it? He immediately promised her, "Don't worry, I won't do anything extreme. After all, there are others present."
"... Are you sure this is how we can have a good talk?"
