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.

He put her on the couch. His long hands were propped on the backrest and seat of the couch, imprisoning her between his arms.

“Nothing happened before, but now that you’ve grown up and we’re not related by blood, the feeling is different”

His gaze was focused, and his lips curled up as he leaned in close to Hera’s ear. “Especially since you saved my life.”

Bernard’s gentle and magnetic voice was very pleasing to the ears.

The warm breath from his words brushed against Hera’s ear, causing her heart to skip a beat unintentionally. Her body trembled involuntarily
