Chapter 1068 I Have Met Happiness Once

"Do you like Lucas because he's Evelyn's child?" She gathered her courage and asked, her heart urging her to say

what she wanted to say, "But she has a family now. What's the point of giving so much without gaining anything in

return?"

Bert's steps halted upon hearing her words. Under the dim corridor lights, he slightly turned his face, and his

chiseled features appeared even sharper in the gentle glow. "You don't understand."

"I may not understand," Alivia breathed heavily, refusing to back down, "I've never been in a relationship, so I'm not

qualified to lecture you. But isn't liking someone about being with them? Everything you're doing now, besides

nursing your own grievances, what's the purpose?"

She didn't believe that a princess necessarily required a black knight by her side. If the princess already had a

prince, the black knight should let go and pursue his own happiness, instead of continuing to entangle himself and

disturb his own peace of mind.

Bert's hand, hanging at his side, suddenly clenched tightly as he struggled to control his emotions. No one had

dared to talk to him about Evelyn, not even his subordinates. Everyone knew that Evelyn was a sensitive topic, but

she dared.

He thought he would erupt in anger due to her meddling, but surprisingly, he didn't. Even he didn't expect that he

would just stand there and calmly respond, word by word, "What do you know about feelings? Giving and taking

back as you wish? We once relied on each other, and there's something more precious than love between us. You

think it's only me who gives, but she has given me much more than you can imagine. I'm not a good person, but I'm

not heartless either."

To outsiders, he might appear indifferent, but to those who had found a place in his heart, he was like a burning

iron.

When Evelyn first appeared before him, she saved his life. Everything he did for her afterward was both a

repayment and driven by his own selfishness. He was once a person devoid of emotions, but over those five years,

she continuously infused genuine emotions into him, turning him into a regular human being.

Alivia bit her lip, knowing nothing about their past and having no right to judge. Yet, as she looked at his current

hesitant expression, she felt a peculiar ache in her heart as if she were witnessing another version of herself,

struggling but also self-abandoning.

After a long silence, she finally let go of her lips and spoke softly, her words carrying weight, "But don't you want to

be happier? Don't you feel sorry for yourself?"

Unexpectedly, Bert replied without hesitation, "I've met happiness once, and that's enough." Some people go

through countless relationships and even multiple marriages in their lifetime, but they might not necessarily meet

someone who truly understands them or whom they deeply love. Though he hadn't obtained her, he was fortunate

to have encountered her. He believed that it was enough.

Alivia felt as if something had bumped into her heart. It didn't hurt, but it caused her heart to tremble

uncontrollably. Watching his figure disappearing at the end of the corridor, her heartbeat kept pounding.

She placed her hand over her left chest, trying to suppress this storm of emotions.

She turned around, opened the door, and returned to her room. Leaning against the door panel, she tossed the

room key on the table. The room was quiet, and outside the window, the night lights were starting to twinkle

through the sheer white curtains, casting their glow into her eyes.
