NovelEnglishThe next day, Hera woke up to find herself lying on Bernard's right arm. She had no idea when he had awakened since he was
texting Douglas with his left hand.
Realizing that Hera had stirred in his arms, Bernard kissed her on the forehead. "Sweetie, you're awake."
"Why are you still here?" Hera was slightly astonished to see him around.
Bernard seemed to have endless energy. No matter how late he went to bed, he would always wake up at the stevery
morning.
But Hera couldn't achieve that since she liked to sleep in. If Bernard had not woken her up, she would've woken up whenever she
liked. By then, the spot next to her would've gone cold long ago.
"Are you chasingaway after sleeping together? Have you otten what you said last night?" Bernard raised an eyebrow.
Hera looked extremely adorable, having just woken up and still appearing rather groggy. He couldn't help but hold her tightly in his
arms, kissing her cheeks and neck.
His kisses seem to arouse Hera. She couldn't remember what tthey finished since she was extremely exhausted toward the
end.
Afraid that Bernard wanted to continue what they did last night, she hurriedly pushed him away and sat up.

the pajamas next to her bed before putting them on.
"Did | say that you didn't have to work today?"
"I took leave, so | don't have to go to work." Bernard stretched his numb arm where Hera had been lying earlier.
Seeing how she was about to get out of bed, he instantly wrapped his arms around her slender waist. "Do you want to continue
sleeping for a while?"
Hera scoffed as she peered at the phone he set aside. The screen displayed the messages sent by Douglas, but Bernard had only
replied to half of them.
However, Douglas was still typing. Bernard was clearly very busy.
Bernard noticed her gaze and explained, "I'm afraid you won't let mee back if | leave." He had spent a lot of effort to sleep
here for the night.
Hera paused for a moment before asking, "So, are you going to neglect your duties as a CEO?"
"I've partitioned an area as my office at the eastern wing. | already asked Douglas to drop by later to avoid disturbing your sleep,"
Bernard explained.
Bernard released her and got out of bed before putting on sclothes. "Do you want to go have a look?"
Hera wanted to get out of bed, but her legs felt weak. She sat by the bedside as Bernard knelt down so that he could piggyback
her out of the room.
Since she did not refuse him and even wrapped her arms around his neck, Bernard took the chance to ask, "Sweetie, can | move
back here?"
The two of them kissed at the entrance to the western wing for a while. Then, Hera suddenly spotted a figure in the courtyard from
the corner of her eye.
She pushed Bernard away and struggled to get off before looking at Everly. "Yes, Everly?"
Bernard's expression darkened upon seeing Everly, feeling unhappy at the interruption.
"Didn't you two break up? Why..." Everly was envious upon seeing how happy Bernard and Everly looked.
She beceven more jealous when she noticed the love bites on Hera's neck. Although Everly had never had sex before, she
knew how those cabout and felt very bitter about it.
Everly hadn't seen Bernard at the house for a while. Last week, she heard about Hera breaking up with him, which made Everly
secretly joyful about it for a few days.
Once, when she clooking for Hera at the western wing, she even noticed that Bernard's belongings appeared to have been
moved out.

Yes, she still couldn't let go of Bernard. She even went against her conscience by cooperating with the Chimes so that she could be
with him.
"Who said so?" Bernard glared at her icily.
"I..." Everly couldn't help but shudder. Her jealousy toward Hera seemed to grow stronger. Why could Bernard dote on Hera so
much while being so cold to Everly?
