Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 445

Bernard looked at the ingredients in Hera's hands with a complicated look. When she noticed it, she frowned. "You seem to dislike my cooking."

"That's not it." He immediately denied it. "I just thought you should just be a princess at home and let the maid do the cooking and other tasks."

"You sure know how to talk." Hera chuckled. "Go clean yourself up. Breakfast will be ready when you're done."

Upon seeing how he couldn't stop her from cooking, he had no choice but to remind her, "In that case, remember to go easy on the salt."

Hera was speechless, wondering when she had ever cooked for him or said she liked heavily seasoned food. Then, she wondered if he was thinking about the barbecue from before.

After Bernard took a shower, he changed into a black suit and combed his hair neatly. He buttoned up his shirt and put on a pair of golden cufflinks. He looked noble and aloof in that attire.

When Hera came out of the kitchen with a plate of freshly cooked noodles, she saw him walking out dashingly. She couldn't help glancing at him a couple more times.

After all, she loved looking at good-looking men. A dashing man like Bernard being by her side all the time was her greatest temptation. Suddenly, she realized that his looks were a huge reason why she was in love with him.

"What's on your mind?" He approached her and took the plate of noodles from her.

Hera returned to her senses and said, "I was just wondering why my boyfriend is so dashing."

"Oh? How dashing am I?" He lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead.

She was speechless and thought how his dashing looks didn't last a few seconds. Noticing how he was getting his hand all over her body, she turned around to return to the kitchen. "Just see for yourself in the mirror."

Bernard chuckled and placed the plate of noodles on the table. The noodles looked great, and there were meat, vegetables, eggs, and tomatoes on the plate as well.

"Have a taste," Hera said as she passed the utensils to him.

He sat down and took a bite after cleaning his hands. Then, the delicious taste spread in his mouth. The meat was tender, and the noodles tasted perfect.

It turned out that he had misunderstood her. She was actually great at cooking!

He figured that she purposely put a lot of salt back at the barbecue back then and decided he shouldn't anger her again in the future.

Seeing how he finished the whole plate, Hera asked, "How was it?"

Bernard wiped his mouth and said, "It's delicious! I want to have it again tomorrow."

Seeing how he liked it, she felt happy as well. "Sure. I'll continue cooking for you tomorrow."

"Thank you, sweetie." He got up and kissed her cheek. Then, he looked at the time and said, "Well, I'm going to head to work now."

"Wait. Let me go with you," she said and immediately put down her utensils. She didn't just want to accompany him to his office. Instead, she wanted to go inside as well.

Bernard stopped in his tracks and thought about how she tried to test him previously. "It's boring there." "It's alright. I can study in your office while you work. I can see how you work as well. I promise I won't disturb you, alright?"

Hera picked up her books and laptop bag that she had prepared earlier and looked at him with eager eyes. The last time Bernard saw her acting coy with him was 12 years ago.

He couldn't reject her back then, let alone now. Also, if he rejected her request, she might get suspicious, too.

Bernard decided to agree to it, thinking that nothing special was going on that day. "Sure."Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

Soon after he nodded, he started to regret it.
