Finding Love in the Boss’s Embrace After Divorce novel Chapter 788

Feeling the phone vibrating, she felt as if it had hit her heart through her fingertips. She picked it up with a tight throat and said in an uneasy voice, "Hello?"

Hearing her voice, the man on the other end of the line was silent for two seconds, and then he asked softly, "Are you feeling better?"

He didn't ask her where she was, nor did he ask who she was with. It had nothing to do with trust. This man had strong insight. He didn't ask because he already knew.

She tightened her grip on the phone and suddenly panicked. "I... I'm fine now. I had a fever because of the inflammation."

Bert was on the other side of the phone, but he was far away from her. They were speechless for a moment. Listening to each other's breathing, he suddenly felt a little powerless.

"Evelyn." He called out her name in a deep voice.

His voice made her heart skip a beat. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Bert and his assistant were in the office discussing the vestment project with Huston Lloyd, but he suddenly said that he wanted to make a phone call.

The assistant knew that he was answering a private call, so he lowered his head and stepped aside. At this time, the man got up and walked to the bright French window. Looking at the bright weather outside, his heart was filled with tears. "Come back."

As if he was afraid that she would not understand, he emphasized, "Come back to me."

For a man like Bert, there were very few times that he said something like this in the past five years, let alone a year. The first thought that came to her mind when she heard that was if something had happened to him.

Could it be that he had encountered some sort of trouble?

She couldn't help but worry. "What's wrong with you, Bert?"

This man was very special to both her and Lucas. She had once thought that if she hadn't met Huston earlier, she might have fallen in love with Bert.
