Chapter 61

“I grew up with you!” Hera tried to maintain a composed expression

“So what? You’re the young lady of the Everett family anyway.”

Bemard denied it, tightening his grip on her..

He looked at Hera in his arms. Her nervousness and the appearance of wanting to resist but not daring to move made her more approachable than her usual aloof and distant self.
