Hera's sinister smile made Bernard feel slightly guilty. He did go overboard last night, causing her to become angry.
But he was upset last night too. Although she was his girlfriend, she didn't seem to understand that. They agreed to live together for the rest of their lives, yet she had been about to go behind his back and become his niece by accepting Chad's offer.
Chad clearly wanted to split them up. Hera was usually a clever woman, so Bernard couldn't understand why she did not see through Chad's scheme.
Although Hera also explained last night that she had done so to irritate Giselle on purpose and help Catherine see her true colors, Bernard just couldn't accept how Hera dismissed their relationship so easily.
That was why he was so angry. But he did his best to control his strength and not hurt Hera.
"Sweetie, I was too angry last night and couldn't control my emotions well. I've upset you." Bernard wiped his hands with a wet cloth before helping her lie down.
"Besides, I've already recovered, so you don't need the acupuncture kit. I'll accompany you for a nap, okay?"
Hera pushed his face away. "No, you have not recovered, so I must treat you! Immediately! Quickly bring me my acupuncture kit!"
That idiotic Bernard dared to have his way with her last night. If she didn't teach him a lesson, he would just do the same thing in the future.
Seeing how Bernard remained motionless without a word, Hera asked coldly, "Do you not love me anymore?"
"How could you say that? There's no one else I love aside from you," Bernard immediately answered.
"Then, why aren't you listening to me?" Hera asked icily.
Bernard had no choice, so he reluctantly went out to fetch her acupuncture kit. When he returned, he would let her do whatever she wanted to his face, using actions to prove how much he loved and adored her.
Soon, their voices drifted out of the room.
"Does it hurt?"
"Yes!"
"Do you know where you went wrong?"
