"Bernard, you're getting a little too jealous. At this rate, you should just get rid of all the men in the world," said Hera while poking his shoulder.

Bernard grabbed her hand as he stared deeply into her eyes. He seemed to be thinking about something.

Hera continued, "I promise I won't meet Tyler without telling you beforehand. I won't lie to you anymore, and I don't want you to lie to me either. Can you promise me that?"

Lovers shouldn't lie to each other.

"Okay," Bernard readily agreed.

"What are you thinking about?" Hera asked with a frown, noticing that he seemed to be absent-minded.

"What you said is reasonable," he simply stated.

Hera was flabbergasted. Did he really mean what he said?

Bernard clarified, "It's highly reasonable and effective if I can get rid of all the men in the world."

There was no describing how speechless Hera was.

She was about to call him and tell him to head back with her and Bernard when the high-pitched siren of an ambulance filled the air.
