Chapter 675

How could Bernard be so selfish?

Bernard rarely saw Hera get so mad, so he was filled with guilt and worry.

"I'm so sorry, sweetie." He sounded earnest. "I should've told you about this sooner. I was too selfish. I was afraid that you'd leave me if you found out. I just don't want to lose you again."

Reaching for Hera's hand, he slid down from the chair and knelt before her. Tiramisu jumped off Hera's lap at Bernard's sudden movement.

Hera herself was taken by surprise too. The anxiety and plea in his gaze did not escape her eyes, making her heart heavy.

She averted her gaze as she found herself unable to look at him any longer. She was afraid that if she stared into his eyes much longer, she'd give in and believe his words.

She once loved him with all her heart, after all. Yet, he had broken her heart repeatedly.

She couldn't afford to make the same mistake again. He had lied to her twice, so she swore to herself that she wouldn't buy his lies anymore.
