Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 240

It had been a while since she got a guaranteed admission, but she never took the initiative to mention it to him.

Hera remained silent.

Bernard noticed her avoiding his gaze and lowering her eyes. He could tell she was either avoiding answering or trying to lie again. He grabbed her chin and forced her to look at him. "By the way, please also explain where you got the money to buy me that pair of cufflinks."

Hera looked at him for a long time before harrumphing.

Bernard raised an eyebrow. "Not talking?"

This matter involved a lot of things. Hera pursed her lips instead of speaking. Suddenly, she realized something was wrong—she should be the one questioning him!

Bernard gazed at her slightly flushed cheeks. She was stubbornly pursing her lips, and the sight of her like this inexplicably increased his desire to conquer her. He wanted to kiss her and possess her as his own.

Hera also noticed that he was looking at her differently this time. He appeared enthusiastic and perhaps lustful.

She sensed something was off. Didn't he like men?

Her gaze landed on his lips as a bold idea came to her mind. She then abruptly leaned toward his lips.

Bernard was stunned. He didn't expect Hera to be so proactive all of a sudden. Despite his excitement, he immediately calmed down.

She was still underage. He was worried that he would lose control and do something inappropriate to her.

Thinking of that, he let go of her chin and grabbed her shoulders to stop her.

Hera stared at him and froze as if she had been struck by thunder. He rejected her kiss! He really was gay!

"Let go of Hera!" A shout suddenly came.

Gideon, who had left and returned, saw their movements from a distance. He believed Bernard was planning to do something to Hera.
