NovelAppChapter 235 Hera turned around and saw Lilith frowning, only then realizing that her tone was a bit harsh.
She softened her voice and said, "Really! Nothing is going on between us. Don't overthink it. We're just..." After a brief pause, she continued, "...friends." Lilith stared at Hera in surprise as she didn't expect her to explain. The next moment, her expression brightened with joy. "Is it the friend you mentioned living at his house before?" Hera responded with an affirmative hum.
Lilith nodded with a knowing expression. "Did you two have a fight?" Her concern caught Hera off guard.
"Aren't you surprised?" Hera asked.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLogically speaking, Lilith should have been quite surprised. Previously, when she sent Gideon to Skyview Heights to fetch the gift and he found out Hera was staying at Bernard's place, he was visibly taken aback and even appeared resistant.
Therefore, even though Hera later agreed to return to the Everett residence, she didn't tell anyone else about it. Lilith nodded. 'I'm quite surprised. When Mr. Killian first visited our house, I didn't expect you to know him. I was equally surprised this morning when he said he had cto pick you up himself."" Hearing that, Hera was somewhat speechless.
She had the impression that Lilith's surprise was about the person, not the matter. However, considering how early Giselle and Zyler got engaged, they shouldn't be surprised about early romance anymore.
Wait, she wasn't into an early romance! Lilith continued shyly, "Your dad and I started secretly seeing each other during high school. We were more innocent back then. However, after we becwealthy, his temperament changed..." If possible, she wouldn't want Hera to marry into a wealthy family, especially a prominent one. She knew well the difficulties of being a daughter-in-law in such affluent households. There would always be a sense of being out of place if one's background doesn't fit However, if Hera truly desired it, she wouldn't intervene. Instead, she'd respect her choice.
"It's okay. If you really love him, I support you," Lilith reassured. "In relationships, there will always be disagreements. One of you will always have to make concessions for the other. You both need to give each other more room for things to last." As Hera listened to her advice, she couldn't help but feel that something was amiss. After all, she wasn't even of legal age yet, and Lilith seemed to be thinking too far ahead.
"Mom, you've got it wrong. It's not what you think," she cut off Lilith.
"Is it?" Lilith sounded unsure. "But I've noticed Mr. Killian treats you differently." Bernard exuded an inherent air of nobility. Even when he deliberately lowered his stance, there was always a pressure that made people hesitant to offend or get close. However, when he looked at Hera, others could sense that he unwittingly becgentle, with a tenderness that was uniquely for Hera.
It was obvious that he loved her.
Furthermore, Lilith also sensed that Hera's mood had clearly changed since Bernard appeared.
"No, you're mistaken. Instead of worrying about me, you should worry about Gideon," Hera said.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmBefore learning about Bernard's sexual orientation, she had sensed he treated her differently. However, upon learning about it, she no longer thought that way. Bernard's different treatment toward her might just be because they grew up together. Moreover, she knew about his undisclosed illness and had promised to treat him.
"What's wrong with Gideon? He е doesn't even have a girlfriend Lilith asked in confusion.
Hera responded, "That's all the more reason for you to be worried." The content you content is on novelenglish.net! With two single men sleeping under one roof, she didn't know if Bernard would do something out of line. Hearing that, Lilith was even more puzzled.
There was only a king-size bed measuring five feet and seven inches and a small couch in the other room. Bernard cin and sat on the couch. With his legs crossed casually, he looked intently at his phone.
Standing behind the door, Gideon gritted his teeth in frustration as he watched Bernard lounging comfortably on the couch. He had thought he could provoke Bernard into leaving, but instead, he ended up getting himself into trouble.
