Chapter 1358 The First Attack from the Sifting Eyebrow Blade

Bert had briefly instructed his assistant over the phone before hanging up. He looked at the girl, clearly lost in her

thoughts, easily deciphered what she was thinking, and proactively started to explain, "I will be living domestically

for the next phase, so I've prepared a house."

Alivia asked straightforwardly, "Don't you always stay in hotels?"

When they had just met, she hadn't known much about this man. She had wondered why he was always staying in

hotels and never at home.

Gradually, she came to understand that the hotel was home for him. He felt more comfortable and safer there.

However, it was surprising to Alivia that a man who always stuck to this lifestyle suddenly mentioned buying

property.

"Hotels are not as convenient as homes," Bert looked deeply into her moist eyes, a sentence hovering on his lips for

a long time that he ultimately could not utter.

She was currently avoiding him. Saying too much and making her feel pressured wouldn't be good. Never mind.

He lowered his head slightly, closed the notebook in his hands, and saw that it was already half past ten. He pushed

down the chair to one side, "It's getting late. You should rest."

Alivia nodded, indeed feeling a bit tired. She got up and walked into the bathroom, turned on the tap. The sound of

water echoed continuously. She looked at the somewhat pale face reflected in the mirror, dressed in a patient's

gown, and fell into a daze.

During this meeting with Bert, his emotions had calmed down a lot compared to before. He no longer had that

tense and aggressive aura and seemed very natural and peaceful. However, seeing such a peaceful him made her

feel flustered.

Why?

Alivia usually did not eavesdrop on other people's phone calls, but he was just too close. It was hard not to hear.

She knew Bert's business and company were mainly overseas, cuz he had been living abroad since a young age.

Why suddenly buy a house domestically?

Alivia suddenly thought of a particularly unbelievable possibility. He had no friends or relatives domestically. Not to

mention anything to attract him to stay, the only possibility was...her.

Seemingly frightened by her own thoughts, Alivia immediately shook her head, wanting to throw this unsettling

thought out of her mind.

She hurriedly reached for the electric toothbrush next to her. The movement was a bit hasty and she forgot about

the eyebrow trimmer on the left. Her finger brushed past it, and a sharp pain came immediately.

"Ouch," She couldn't help but let out a low cry and pulled back her finger. She looked down to see a small cut.

Almost at the same time, she noticed it, the bathroom door was pulled open. Bert's tall figure squeezed in and he

asked hurriedly, "What happened?"

Alivia put her hand down, not wanting him to see. Unfortunately, it was impossible to hide from a man like Bert.

Before she could completely retract her hand, he had already grabbed her wrist and forcefully pulled it under his

eyes, "What did you do?"

Seeing that she couldn't hide it, Alivia could only awkwardly point at the 'culprit', "The eyebrow trimmer struck first."

Bert was speechless, frowning and giving her a glare, "Are you joking?"

Alivia immediately lowered her head, not saying anything.

The cut wasn't very deep, in fact, it was quite shallow. After dabbing it with a tissue, the bleeding had almost

stopped. Bert had been injured often in the past, so he had experience dealing with wounds. He promptly applied

antiseptic cotton to it.

The faint smell of alcohol wafted into her nostrils, along with the slightly throbbing pain. Alivia dared not move, but

the pain made her bite her lip involuntarily.
