Chapter 1357 Eat Her Leftovers

Such an atmosphere of interaction actually helped Alivia to relax a bit; if it was too intentional, she would also feel

uncomfortable. This was better.

Once Bert had arranged the meals, he walked to the coat rack at the end of the bed, and took off his suit jacket,

leaving only a white shirt. He also slightly loosened his tie, which hung loosely around his neck.

Alivia watched the compelling figure for a few seconds before her gaze returned to the thermos. She didn't say

anything, just compliantly picked up her bowl and slowly began to eat.

Bert didn't approach her, deliberately choosing to sit on a sofa a bit further away from her. It was evident that she

was very tense, and he feared that she would feel even more uncomfortable if he approached.

It wasn't until Alivia was almost done eating that he walked over with a napkin. After handing it to her, he looked at

the mostly uneaten food and furrowed his brows slightly, "Why did you eat so little?"

Alivia was already about 70% full, "I ate late in the afternoon, so I'm not very hungry."

Bert didn't force her. He just gathered up the food and just as she thought he was going to throw it away,

unexpectedly, he sat down next to her and hastily ate a few bites of the leftovers.

He ate quickly, but his movements and posture were still elegant, a result of his years of practicing dining etiquette.

Yet Alivia was left dumbstruck.

"Didn't you eat?"

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Bert replied slowly, "Yeah, I didn't have time."

His meeting had ended late, and if he had taken the time to eat, she would have had to wait even longer for her

food. Afraid that she would be hungry, he had hurried over.

Looking at the now somewhat cooled food, Alivia felt a pang of various feelings, guilt being the most prevalent,

"Why didn't you eat with me earlier?"

"Fear you'd feel uncomfortable," Bert responded. After a few bites, he collected everything and handed it over to

the nurse waiting outside, seeming utterly unbothered.

Returning to the ward and seeing her still looking shocked, he walked over to sit next to her, his gaze filled with

gentleness, "What's wrong?"

It took Alivia a moment to recover. For some reason, she was having trouble accepting the fact that this man was

eating her leftovers.

When had he ever eaten anyone's leftovers?

But she couldn't voice her question and could only hastily hide her surprise, "Nothing..."

"I'll stay with you tonight."

Alivia felt a little panicked, "Where's my mom?"

"I told her to go home and rest," After saying that, seemingly worried she might feel uncomfortable, he added,

"Don't you want me to stay here with you?"

"Not really," Alivia felt a bit confused. Whenever she saw this man, everything she had planned out in her head

went haywire.

"How will you sleep here with me?"

Bert patted the long chair next to him, "I'll make do, no problem."

The chair seemed barely a meter wide. His physique was already rather robust, so there was not even enough

room to turn over once he laid down. Just thinking about it, one could imagine how uncomfortable it must be.

But seeing his insistence, Alivia didn't say anything further. She picked up the remote and turned on the TV on the

wall. The host's loud voice came from the show, making the atmosphere a bit less tense.

Bert didn't keep his eyes on her either. He took out his laptop and began looking at colorful data charts. The two

coexisted peacefully. During that time, he took a call, without avoiding Alivia's presence.

"If the villa is suitable, sign the contract, you're in full charge. As for renovations, change whatever can be changed,

re-plan according to the designer's scheme, and make sure it's done as quickly as possible."
