During this period, Hera returned to Norburgh to bring Tiramisu over.
After a busy day, she lay in bed at night, cuddling Tiramisu while video-calling Bernard.
In the video call, Bernard sat in the back seat of a car. His face showed a hint of weariness, indicating he had just finished a busy day and was on his way back.
"I brought your son over. Do you want to see him? Tiramisu, say hi to your dad," Hera said as she switched to the rear camera.
Tiramisu had been neglected for a few days at the Everett residence. Finally brought back to Hera's side, it was now snuggling on her and making cute noises, completely ignoring Bernard.
Bernard replied, "I don't want to see a pig. I want to see you."
Just as Hera switched back to the front camera, Tiramisu immediately raised its head and climbed onto Hera's arm. It almost stuck its pig nose into the camera, blocking Hera's face.
Hera couldn't help but laugh at its antics.
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and Wayne's voice could be heard from outside.
"Hera, can you open the door?"
Frowning, he asked in a somewhat displeased tone, "Who is it?"
Hera got up, saying, "It's Wayne. Let me open the door. I'll call you—"
"Don't you dare hang up," Bernard interrupted her abruptly.
He knew Hera hadn't just brought Catherine back from the mountains this time but also a pair of siblings. She said they had grown up together since childhood.
He wasn't concerned about the woman. He silently questioned if that man was considered to have known Hera longer than him.
He didn't think a man knocking on the door in the middle of the night could have anything good in mind.
Hera was rendered speechless. She placed her phone on the desk and went to open the door.
"Hera."
