Chapter 1069 They Are Not from the Same World

Because of Lucas, Bert returned this time with the intention of permanently staying in Jewel City. Alivia had initially

thought he would continue to stay at this hotel. However, on the third day, he had someone purchase a luxurious

duplex apartment in the heart of the city.

The apartment was lavishly furnished and move-in ready, displaying his extravagance.

Once again, Alivia marveled at the power of capitalists. In a place like Jewel City, where every inch of land was

precious, buying such an apartment was as easy as buying cabbage from the street market. Ordinary people would

struggle their whole lives to afford such a property.

However, as Bert moved into the apartment, Alivia expressed her intention to return home. After all, they were now

in the home country, and her gunshot wound had already healed. There was no reason for her to continue staying

with him.

Clearly, Bert had no objections to her proposal, aside from his indifferent demeanor.

Before leaving, she packed her belongings, believing that every task should have a conclusion. With this in mind,

Alivia knocked on his door, wanting to share a last meal together.

Sitting in the dining room, she handed the menu to the man across from her, "Help yourself. This meal is on me."

Bert raised an eyebrow in surprise, but he didn't say anything. After selecting several exquisite dishes, he handed

the menu to the waiter.

Once they left the private room, he said indifferently, "Why treat me? A farewell meal?"

Alivia smiled with some embarrassment, "No. You've always been the one helping me, and I've never treated you to

a meal before."

Bert was wealthy, but Alivia wasn't sure of the exact extent of his wealth. He was exceptionally rich— private

planes, private yachts, and the business projects he mentioned were all in the billions.

She knew he wouldn't care much about this meal, but it was her gesture of appreciation. Although he was always

cold toward her, he had never really harmed her. Despite her initial fear of him, she had come to realize that he

wouldn't actually hurt her.

"Thank you for helping me so much," The woman's gentle voice came from the bright private room, "Thank you for

helping my mother with her surgery and with my injury." "Don't mention it," Bert replied succinctly as if his attention

was solely on the meal and not on anything else.

Alivia sighed softly, feeling a bit down. Clearly, he was used to people coming and going; he had seen the world,

and people around him must have been transient as well. On the other hand, she felt a bit sentimental.

This parting was uncertain, and she didn't know when they would meet again. She and Bert were simply not meant

to belong to the same world. If it weren't for the coincidental circumstances before, they might never have crossed

paths in this lifetime.

During the meal, the food tasted bland to her, despite Bert ordering the restaurant's signature dishes that cost four

figures each. But she didn't mind the cost; after all, it was their last meal together.

Lucas's gaze fell on her opposite seat, where her obvious disappointment was written all over her face. She was the

one who proposed to leave, but why did she now look like this?

Nevertheless, regardless of the situation, seeing her like this made his displeasure dissipate somewhat. He didn't

have a big appetite, to begin with, and she chose the cuisine he was not so interested in, which filled him up quickly,

"Since you saved my life before, feel free to ask for help if you need anything in the future."

Alivia was struggling with a fish bone on her plate when she heard this. She paused and looked up, saying, "I

already owe you so much; I don't want to burden you further."

She hadn't yet repaid him for the surgery costs, so how could she bring up any other favors?

But unexpectedly, Bert responded, "Since you already owe me so much, a little more won't make a difference."

Alright!
