Thiago’s eyes lit up at the sight of Hera in Bernard’s arms. “Hera! You’re actually here!” He grinned, revealing his teeth in a goofy way.
But his joy only lasted three seconds when he finally realized that Bernard was holding Hera in his arms. Thiago hurried forward and exclaimed, “Who are you! Quickly let go of my Hera!”
Hera noticed Thiago approaching her. She really did not expect that he would come looking for her. Not only did she feel tired and hungry, but she suddenly also felt a headache coming on.
Bernard was slightly taller than Thiago. He looked down at him with sarcasm flashing in his eyes. “Your Hera?”
“Exactly!” Thiago looked rather solemn while rambling on, “She’s my Hera! We’ve known each other for a long time!
“When we were kids, my father and her grandmother planned for us to get married in the future. That makes her my fiancée!”
As the words “planned for us to get married” and “fiancée” left Thiago’s mouth, Hera could clearly feel Bernard becoming more unfriendly than ever. He was definitely overthinking this.
That happened when Hera was just a child. She used to often accompany Catherine when she went to sell herbs to Thiago’s father, Justin Mayall.
After becoming close with one another, Justin jokingly suggested to Catherine that they could become in-laws by arranging a marriage for Hera and Thiago.
Hearing that explanation made Nicholas stare in horror. A fiancé? It was bad enough that Hera had a boyfriend. Where did this fiancé come from?
“So, whoever you are, quickly let go of my fianceé!” Thiago continued with a frown, looking rather anxious. He wanted to push Bernard away, but he was also afraid of hurting Hera.
Bernard smirked coldly when he noticed Thiago was getting antsy. “I’m her boyfriend,” he emphasized each word as if he were showing off.
When Thiago heard that, he remained rooted to the spot in shock. Even the white roses in his arms fell to the ground.
“Hera, you already have a boyfriend! Why didn’t you wait for me? You already have a boyfriend! Do you not want me anymore? How could you not want me? You can’t not want me! I don’t allow it…”
Hera was getting a headache from Thiago’s non-stop chattering. She struggled out of Bernard’s arms and snapped, “Shut up! Go back to the South if you’re going to be so annoying.”
Thiago immediately shut his mouth and towed the suitcase behind him. He looked at Hera innocently. “But I brought the medicinal ingredients for you.”
Hera rubbed her temples. She had asked him to deliver them via express delivery, but he insisted on personally bringing them over.
Since he was being so sincere, she decided not to upset him. “Thanks. You can deliver them to my clinic tomorrow. I’m tired, so let’s talk more after I’ve rested.”
“I’ll sleep at your place. I can sleep
on the couch or floor. I’m not familiar with Jedburgh, nor do know anyone from here. What if I get lost?” Thiago hurriedly said.
Bernard forced himself between Hera and Thiago. “It’s not convenient! My son sleeps on the couch.”
The word “son” made Thiago’s jaw drop in shock. “You even have a son! How dare you seduce my future wife?”
He walked past Bernard and tugged at Hera, saying, “Hera, he already has a son! Why are you still with him?
“Let me make it clear to you that he’s an evil man. He lied to me earlier, saying that you weren’t here. But I came here because the nurse told me you’d be here.
“How could you not be here? He clearly tricked me! If he could lie to me, he would definitely lie to you. You shouldn’t be with him. I don’t want you to be with him…”
Bernard was rendered speechless by Thiago, who was so noisy.
“Stop talking.” Hera raised her hand to interrupt Thiago. He was really more talkative than Leon.
She took Bernard’s phone and booked a hotel room for Thiago. “I’ve booked a room for you at the hotel. Go ahead, then.”
Although Thiago was slightly
disappointed that he couldn’t go back with Hera, he noticed the irritation on her face. He guessed that Hera would ignore him if he kept this up.
Thus, he stopped and chuckled. “I always knew you were the best, Hera.”
Bernard was speechless. Hera had taken his phone away to book a hotel room for another man.
Nicholas silently wondered how this could be happening. He immediately hurried forward and exclaimed, “I need a hotel room as well. I have no place to go!”
Hera glared at Nicholas, who added immediately, “My dad was very strict with me today. He said I can only return home once I have a wife.” Hera wondered what that had to do with her.
“I’m the one who’s truly homeless. Since you’ve awakened Harvey, I
have nothing to do with the
Presgrave family. So, you must take responsibility for me!” Tyler came
over, unafraid of stirring up trouble.
