Catherine had always loved fresh flowers. Hence, she had bought a few bouquets when she saw them in the supermarket.
"Alright."
After Douglas left, Hera brought the rest of the fresh flowers and placed them into a vase, whereas Bernard was busy marinating his steak in the kitchen while wearing an apron.
The atmosphere within their home felt happy and peaceful. At that moment, there was a knock on the door. They didn't lock the door to the main entrance, so Everly made her way inside.
Hera had just finished placing her vase on the dining table when she spotted Everly. She asked, "Everly? Why are you here?"
Everly explained, "Douglas told me that you two arrived home, so I came over to visit. I would also like to speak to you about something."
Then, she secretly looked at Bernard, who was busy cooking their steaks, from the corner of her eyes. Bernard stood tall, and his apron matched his white button-up, only making him look handsome and homely.
Just a small glance was enough to make Everly's heart skip a beat. Back in the village, all the male villagers didn't know how to cook. They also refused to do any chores, claiming that chores were a job for the women.
Ever since she came to the city, she realized chores weren't just for women; men could also do them. A man who could cook and clean was truly a good man who loved you.
She also wanted to find a good man to spend the rest of her life with.
"Is something wrong?" Hera took out a carton of milk from the fridge and poured Everly a cup.
Everly quickly collected her gaze and said, "It's nothing big. But when you all went out for your vacation, Mrs. Chime Senior stopped by the clinic to meet Mrs. Jones."
"What happened then?" Hera asked.
Hera took a sip of her milk and said, "They talked in the consultation room with the doors closed. I also don't know what they said, but Mrs. Jones seemed unhappy after their talk."
Hera frowned slightly. She was the one who had exposed Camille, so why did Priscilla come to meet Catherine instead?
"I got it."Hera nodded.
"Oh, right. Hera, I heard from my brother that you and your friends were involved in a terrorist attack. Are you all alright?" Everly held Hera's hands and asked her about it.
Hera smiled. "We're fine."
