Chapter 306

Bernard’s phone buzzed before he could finish his coffee. He excused himself, but not before beckoning Christopher. “Walk me out. I seem to have forgotten where I parked”

Christopher was confused. Didn’t Bernard just park the car himself? How would he know where it is?

They didn’t walk far before Christopher spotted the Maserati parked by the roadside. He suddenly understood Bernard’s intention. It wasn’t about finding the car, it was about separating him from Hera.

“You have feelings for Hera, don’t you?” Bernard’s voice cut through the air.

Christopher hesitated, unsure how to articulate his feelings for Hera. He had never been in love before, and the intensity of his emotions was both exciting and confusing.

He was undeniably drawn to her intelligence, her quiet strength, and her ethereal beauty. His father’s not–so–subtle hints about a future together with Hera only fueled his internal conflict.
