“Thank you.” Hera happened to be hungry, so she stepped back and let Christopher push the dining trolley into the room.
“You’re welcome. Please don’t take Mary’s matter to heart. We didn’t mean anything else. Jane has always been snobbish and caused a misunderstanding this afternoon. I apologize for the offense.”
Alice stepped into the room and placed the dishes on the table.
Hera didn’t mind what she said and casually tied up her wet hair with a towel.
Christopher’s cheeks heated up when he saw her slender neck exposed. It was the first time he saw her right after she took a bath. He felt nervous.
“Mom, let’s not disturb Hera. Let’s go,” he said to Alice.
After that, he took the initiative to push the dining trolley out.
Alice noticed his ears had reddened and was pleased. Her bookworm son had finally become interested in love and stopped focusing so much on his studies.
She wanted to stay with Hera, so she asked Christopher to go out first.
Hera had no idea what they were thinking. After washing her hands, she sat down to eat.
She wasn’t used to talking while eating, so her manners made her appear elegant. The longer Alice looked at her, the more she liked her.
After Hera finished eating, Alice asked, “Hera, what do you think of Chris?”
Hera wiped her mouth with a napkin and remarked, “He’s good, but sexual orientation isn’t a disease. I can’t cure him.”
Alice was confused. She couldn’t understand what Hera meant.
Right then, someone knocked on the door again.
Hera went to open the door and saw Jane outside, followed by a maid pushing a dining trolley.
“Ms. Youngworth, I brought you some snacks.” Jane smiled.
After witnessing Mary being cured by Hera and realizing she was a capable person, she changed her view of Hera. If she couldn’t get rid
of this talent, she could el?
friends and keep a positive relationship with Hera.
During dinner, Jane heard that Alice had delivered a meal to Hera, so she prepared snacks instead. She wouldn’t let Alice win over Hera. “Thanks, but I-“
Hera didn’t need snacks. But before
she finished speaking, Jane
he
interjected, “You’re welcome. Please don’t take Mary’s matter to heart. We didn’t mean anything else. Alice was to blame for finding the wrong doctor, which caused a
misunderstanding this afternoon. I apologize for the offense.”
Hera was quite speechless. She wondered what Jane’s and Alice’s intentions were. Had they discussed things before coming to her?
“Ms. Youngworth, this is my son, Aaron. What do you think of him?”
Jane showed Hera a photo of Aaron on her phone.
Hera didn’t answer but completely opened the door, allowing Jane to discover Alice in the room.
“How about you two go out and discuss it first before coming to me?”
Jane and Alice exchanged glances embarrassedly.
After Hera invited them out, the room finally became quiet. Looking at her WhatsApp, she wondered what Bernard was doing because he hadn’t answered her message yet.
She felt uncomfortable when she thought he might still be with another woman at this hour.
So, she sent Bernard an emoji of a peeking kitten as a reminder to respond to her message. As a result, he still didn’t reply after she dried her hair.
Hera directly called him, and the call
her was a female voice. “Hello,
went through, but what a de
Bernie is taking a shower. Is there anything you need from him?”
