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."

"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.

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!?
