Under the heiress facade

Hera scoffed. She would see to it that Bernard moved out tonight.

Bernard smirked. After shutting the car door, he circled toward the driver's seat and started the car.

Hera sat in the passenger seat and texted Samantha to complain about what happened. However, it seemed like she had fallen asleep as she did not reply for some time.

Perhaps the intense emotional strain tonight had drained too much of her energy. While waiting for a reply, exhaustion overtook Hera as she began to relax.

Bernard peered at her and noticed that she was fast asleep with her head tilted. That made him sigh in relief. If Hera could fall asleep, that indicated her emotions weren't in a terrible state.

He reached to turn up the temperature before slowing down the car, driving as steadily as he could. By the time they arrived at the courtyard house, it was already 1:00 am.

Seeing how Hera still had not awakened, Bernard got out of the car and opened the door to the western wing. He then headed toward the passenger seat and unfastened the seatbelt for her before gently lifting her in his arms. Having heard sounds, Tiramisu ran out of the study. While carrying Hera, Bernard gently nudged it aside with his foot and said in a low voice, "Don't get in the way."

Hera's closed eyes began to twitch slightly. As she stirred, she groggily saw Bernard holding her in his arms.

Without realizing it, she leaned against his firm chest and was ready to continue sleeping when the phone in her hand began to ring. It was a call from Samantha.

"Hera, I've arrived at the clinic entrance. Did you two really break up?" The moment she answered the phone, Samantha's gentle voice reminded her that she had broken up with Bernard. Hera's sleepiness faded away immediately. "Please wait a moment for me."
