Under the heiress facade

Bernard's eyes were bloodshot due to his lack of sleep, and he had noticeable dark circles. There was some stubble on his chin as well. Compared to his usual groomed self, he looked rather sloppy now. However, his handsome features made him seem rather rugged.

Hera was taken aback for a few seconds before coming to her senses. "Why are you back here?"

"You have terrible love interests surrounding you, and I was afraid you'd be taken away. So, I pulled an all-nighter to finish my work and came back early," Bernard explained while shutting the back door. Hera watched him put the key into his briefcase and scowled. "Who cares about your work? I'm asking who allowed you to return? Give me back the keys!" While speaking, she extended her hand for the keys. Bernard naturally would not give the keys to her and pointed to the eastern wing. "My lab is still here."

Hera would usually prepare her medication in the northern wing and rarely went to the lab in the eastern wing. Therefore, the laboratory door typically remained shut.

Occasionally, Bernard would go there to run some minor experiments. The lab had many bottles, jars, and chemical instruments. Thus, there were far too many things to move out in one night.

"When will you find a place and move all of these out?" Hera questioned.

"I'm not moving," Bernard replied while opening the door to the eastern wing.

Hera realized that Bernard's suitcase and things from the western wing had been brought over to the eastern wing.

She laughed in exasperation. "So, was it a lie when you told me that night that the courtyard house belongs to me and you'd move out?

"The courtyard is yours. Here's the property deed," Bernard said earnestly before taking a document from his briefcase.
