Chapter 1364 My Turn to Chase You

Ever since Alivia woke up, not for a moment had she considered reconciling with this man. To her, reconciliation

wasn't merely a fresh start to their relationship but also represented a form of resolution to the past.

There were knots and thorns in her heart, making acceptance of him not an easy task.

Yet, even she didn't know why things had progressed to this point where Bert was leaning in for a kiss and she could

only manage to evade him slightly before becoming completely still.

Everything around her seemed to come to a halt, all senses concentrated on their touching lips. Alivia's eyes were

slightly open, locking with his, neither of them closing their eyes. They stared at each other in such close proximity,

feeling waves of electric pulses coursing through their bodies.

It was merely a kiss, a kiss held back to the utmost limit. Yet, despite this, Bert reacted.

He longed for Alivia in a nearly obsessive way. Now that she was willing to accept him again, he couldn't suppress

the desire surging within him as he kissed the girl he loved.

It wasn't about any dirty thoughts, but a physical craving for her.

But Bert was no beast. Under such circumstances, he wouldn't do anything, not even if she wasn't ill now.

She had just agreed to his proposal and needed more time and space to think independently, not just being taken

by him.

Perhaps it was once like this, but from this moment on, he would change everything about the past.

"In the past, you were the one who liked me. Now it's my turn to chase you."

With one hand around the back of her neck, his thumb gently stroking the delicate skin beneath, he looked as if he

was handling a pitiful little pet.

Alivia, blushing fiercely, couldn't lift her head. She pushed the man in front of her away and rolled over on the bed,

her back facing him, "I... I'm tired. I need rest. You should go to bed early too. Goodnight."

Her speech was filled with nervousness and panic.

Bert silently curved his lips into a smile, choosing not to provoke her at this time, "Goodnight."

He bent down to empty the basin of now-cold water. Having tidied everything, Bert returned to the bedside, laid the

narrow, pitifully folded single chair flat, and lay down on it.

With a soft 'click', the overhead light was turned off and everything plunged into darkness. But their two hearts,

drifting for so long, found harbor again at this moment.

The chair underneath him was cold and hard, but Bert felt as if he was lying on cotton.

He knew Alivia wasn't asleep either. This night was too extraordinary for both of them, and her mind must be

teeming with thoughts.

Listening to the uneven breathing by his side, a sentence was constantly echoing in Bert's chest. Finally, under the

cover of the dark, he let it out, "Alivia, I won't let you get hurt again. All that you've suffered before, I won't let them

happen again. I'm sorry that I failed to protect you in the past, and thank you, for giving me another chance."

No one deserved the kind of suffering she had endured. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't want to see

him again, let alone muster the courage to accept him again.

Her words 'summon all my courage to love you once more' had shattered all the armor he had erected around his

heart.

'Thank you' were not sufficient to express his surging emotions, but aside from these two words, he didn't know

what else could express his feelings.
