Chapter 1093 It's Not Good to Be Seen by Others

It took them about two hours by car to drive to the neighboring city, Quartz City. Halfway through the journey,

Lucas, sitting in the back seat, fell asleep.

The car was quiet, and whether it was out of consideration for the child or a reminder to the person beside her,

Alivia spoke softly, "Can you drive slower? Lucas is sleeping."

Bert glanced at the rearview mirror and saw Lucas sleeping soundly. He slowed down the car's speed.

Seeing that he listened, Alivia breathed a sigh of relief. However, in the next moment, Bert asked indifferently, "Did

you put on makeup today?"

Alivia didn't expect Bert, a straightforward guy, to say something like that. She blushed immediately, shifted her

gaze to the side, and fidgeted with her hands uneasily, "Yeah."

"Because of the boy student just now, right?"

"What?" She was puzzled and didn't understand his meaning. After a moment, she realized whom he was referring

to and hurriedly explained, "He's a senior from the Broadcasting Department. I joined his club, and we just

happened to bump into each other on the way."

Could it be that he thought she put on makeup for Jimmy?

At his words, the coldness in Bert's deep and distinct features didn't ease. He slightly loosened his tightly pressed

lips and asked, "Do you like him?"

Alivia widened her eyes in astonishment, pointing to her own face, "Me? No way. I don't even know him well."

"What's the point of hugging if you don't know him well?"

"When did I hug him? We just accidentally bumped into each other. I..." Alivia stopped abruptly and blinked her clear

eyes, suddenly realizing something, "Oh, I know now. We didn't hug. There was something on my hair, and he

helped me remove it, that's all."

At this point, Alivia finally understood why Bert was upset. Did he think she was putting on makeup for Jimmy, and

that they were together?

However...

Even if she was with Jimmy, why was he unhappy?

Jealousy?

The moment these words crossed Alivia's mind, she was startled by her own thought. She quickly dismissed it, even

though she couldn't believe such an idea.

Bert, the kind of man he was, would never be jealous of her. Besides, they only had a normal relationship, and he

had someone he deeply loved in his heart. He wouldn't spare a second glance at her if it weren't for Lucas. They

would have become strangers long ago.

Thinking this way, her heart, which had been beating faster, sank once again.

After Alivia explained, Bert's slight annoyance seemed to dissipate a little. As for why he felt that way when he saw

that scene, he didn't want to dwell on it.

"It's not good to do that in public, as it will lead to bad influence," Bert advised.

Alivia was taken aback by his words but then glanced at her actions and said, "There's nothing..."

Besides, it's the 21st century. Couples hugging in public is common. This isn't a big deal.

She thought Bert wouldn't bother about it, but unexpectedly, he spoke up again, "People might misinterpret it."

Alivia found herself surprised by his persistence. However, she couldn't be swayed by his opinion. She asked, "Will

you misinterpret it?"

The atmosphere in the car became quiet again after her question.

Alivia regretted asking that question as soon as the words left her mouth. Why did she ask Bert something like

that!?
