Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 324

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: "Yes."

Hera's gaze flickered when she received another message.

Grandmaster of Astral Nova: "I'm free now, shall we meet up to discuss?"

Suddenly, Hera sensed someone's eyes on her. She looked up and met Bernard's gaze.

"Sweetie, who are you talking to? You look so engrossed," Bernard asked.

"A patient." Hera kept her phone.

Bernard was speechless. Coincidentally, their food was served right then.

They didn't speak anymore. While Hera ate, she thought of how she should approach the grandmaster again.

She could not accept missions on her Raven account anymore. She had to use a different method to earn money. It would be easier to have some pocket money when she went to Jedburgh.

She still had some leftovers from her special medicine. Auctioning it at Astral Nova was the quickest way to earn money.

At the same time, she could try to figure out the grandmaster's background. Was he affiliated with the Killian family? Was he involved in Queenie's death?

All the dishes were served when Bernard's phone rang. He saw that it was from Chad, so he put it on silent mode and continued eating.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

When he finished eating, he picked up his phone again. He had two missed calls from Chad and one message. When he read the message, his gaze darkened.

"We're going back to Skyview Heights."

"I'll send you back to the Everett residence."

They spoke at the same time. Hera was surprised and asked, "Where are you going?"

If he wasn't returning to Skyview Heights and wanted to send her back to the Everetts', did that mean that he wouldn't be staying at Skyview Heights for a while?

"It's the end of the year. I need to return to the Killian residence, and I'll only be back after New Year's," Bernard explained.

This meant that they couldn't celebrate New Year's together.

"Oh, then let's go. I'll go back to Skyview Heights first. I want to take Tiramisu back to the Everett residence."

Hera's thick eyelashes fluttered. She felt rather displeased.

Bernard noticed this and patted her head. "Good girl."

Then, they returned to the

presidential suite and packed up et

their belongings. Hera gave Bemard the remaining medicine and gave him dosage instructions.

When they went out of the Imperial Hotel, Douglas was waiting by the entrance in a car. Tiramisu's pet

carrier was placed on the passenger seat.

Seeing this, Hera became even more annoyed. Was he going to drive back to Jedburgh overnight?

The entire car ride was silent until they stopped outside the Everett residence. Douglas said, "Bernard, Ms. Youngworth, we're here."

Bernard and Hera got out of the car. They stood at the entrance and looked at each other. Overhead, snow started falling from the sky. In the glow of the streetlights, the snow settled on their heads gently.

"I'll miss you." Bernard kissed her forehead.

"Alright," Hera replied.

"Is there anything you want to say to me?

"Remember to take your medicine."

Bernard arched an eyebrow. "That's it?"

Hera kept quiet. Seeing this, Bernard could only say, "Then I'll be off."

He had just turned around when he felt something pulling the hem of his shirt.

He paused and turned back, only for a soft and petite figure to leap into his arms. She tightly wrapped her arms around his neck.
