Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 661

"Sweetie, are you still going over there tonight?"

Hera hummed in response.

Fury was written all over Bernard's handsome face. It was his birthday tomorrow, so he didn't want her to go over.

Yet, it was Catherine whom Hera cared for deeply. Thus, Bernard did not want to force Hera to stay when Catherine needed her company in a time of need.

Hera noticed Bernard's dismay and explained, "Gideon will be here tonight as he'll be fetching them back after dinner. So, I'm going to accompany Grandma again. Besides, Grandma will come to the clinic to offer consultation tomorrow."

Hearing that made Bernard's eyes light up. "Does that mean you're free tomorrow?"

"I'm meeting with Johnson tomorrow," Hera remarked.

She had made an appointment with Johnson previously because she wanted to try using hypnosis to trigger memories. But their plans were temporarily halted when Catherine was targeted by the Chime family.

The hope in Bernard's eyes faded away. "Alright. Go ahead, then. But you have to hang out with me tomorrow." "Let me see. I remember that I'm hanging out with Samantha tomorrow night." While speaking, Hera tapped on her phone memo.

"Samantha has a live competition on a variety show. She invited me to be there to support her during the competition. We agreed on this last week, so I can't back out now. It'll probably be very late by the time I get back."

Bernard scowled, looking rather dejected. Hera raised her hand to ease his frown. "I'll accompany you the day after, okay?"

To Bernard, Hera sounded as if she were discussing a business appointment with him. He felt rather crestfallen that she had forgotten that it was his birthday tomorrow. He reluctantly hummed in response.

"Are you free tonight? Would you like to come over for dinner?" Hera inquired.

"I'm not free. I have to meet with a client at the Imperial Hotel soon." Bernard turned to enter the room.

Although Hera believed that no one could get Bernard drunk, she still reminded him at the door, "Don't drink so much. Come back early."

"Even if I come back early, you won't be here anyway." Bernard glanced at Hera, his gaze filled with resentment. Hera thought about it. "But your son will keep you company at home."

Bernard looked disgusted. Did he need Tiramisu's company? He wanted Hera.

At that moment, Hera's phone rang. "Okay, Gideon's calling me. I'll leave first."

Bernard watched her leave, feeling more crestfallen than ever. He then gave Douglas a call. "Cancel the plan for tomorrow."

"Oh? Why?" Douglas was clearly shocked.

Having worked for Bernard for so many years, Douglas had never seen him celebrate his birthday. Bernard usually spent his birthdays going on missions or just working. He never even brought it up.

If Douglas hadn't seen Bernard's identity card, he never would have known that Bernard's birthday was tomorrow.

It wasn't easy for Bernard to fall in love. Hence, he wanted to spend his birthday with Hera.

Bernard even ordered Douglas to start preparing a cruise one month ago. Douglas even watched him order a ring. Bernard definitely intended to propose to Hera on his birthday.

It took one month to decorate the cruise ship, and the itinerary was only finalized by noon today. Why was

everything suddenly canceled?

Douglas wondered if Bernard had argued with Hera. However, Bernard had just arrived at the courtyard house not long ago. Not even half an hour had passed, so they shouldn't have had the time to argue.

Did Bernard catch Hera cheating on him? Otherwise, Douglas couldn't figure out why Bernard ended up fighting with Hera.

"I've already asked you to cancel it. Why are you asking so much?" Bernard coldly asked.

Douglas picked up on Bernard's fury and hurriedly replied, "I'll get to it."Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.
