Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 556

The next day, Hera woke up to find herself lying on Bernard's right arm. She had no idea when he had awakened since he was texting Douglas with his left hand.

Realizing that Hera had stirred in his arms, Bernard kissed her on the forehead. "Sweetie, you're awake."

"Why are you still here?" Hera was slightly astonished to see him around.

Bernard seemed to have endless energy. No matter how late he went to bed, he would always wake up at the same time every morning.

But Hera couldn't achieve that since she liked to sleep in. If Bernard had not woken her up, she would've woken up whenever she liked. By then, the spot next to her would've gone cold long ago.

"Are you chasing me away after sleeping together? Have you forgotten what you said last night?" Bernard raised an eyebrow.

Hera looked extremely adorable, having just woken up and still appearing rather groggy. He couldn't help but hold her tightly in his arms, kissing her cheeks and neck.

His kisses seem to arouse Hera. She couldn't remember what time they finished since she was extremely exhausted toward the end.

Afraid that Bernard wanted to continue what they did last night, she hurriedly pushed him away and sat up.

Realizing that she was naked, she used one hand to cover her chest with the blanket. She then used her other hand to reach for the pajamas next to her bed before putting them on.

"Did I say that you didn't have to work today?"

"I took leave, so I don't have to go to work." Bernard stretched his numb arm where Hera had been lying earlier.

Seeing how she was about to get out of bed, he instantly wrapped his arms around her slender waist. "Do you want to continue sleeping for a while?"

Hera scoffed as she peered at the phone he set aside. The screen displayed the messages sent by Douglas, but Bernard had only replied to half of them.

However, Douglas was still typing. Bernard was clearly very busy.

Bernard noticed her gaze and explained, "I'm afraid you won't let me come back if I leave." He had spent a lot of effort to sleep here for the night.

Hera paused for a moment before asking, "So, are you going to neglect your duties as a CEO?"

She became even more jealous when she noticed the love bites on Hera's neck. Although Everly had never had sex before, she knew how those came about and felt very bitter about it.

Everly hadn't seen Bernard at the house for a while. Last week, she heard about Hera breaking up with him, which made Everly secretly joyful about it for a few days.

Once, when she came looking for Hera at the western wing, she even noticed that Bernard's belongings appeared to have been moved out.

Although Everly was disappointed at that time, she was also quite happy about it.

She was dismayed that she would have a harder time seeing Bernard since he would not drop by anymore. But she was also delighted that Hera and Bernard had broken up because that meant she would have a chance with him.

Yes, she still couldn't let go of Bernard. She even went against her conscience by cooperating with the Chimes so that she could be with him.

"Who said so?" Bernard glared at her icily.

"I…" Everly couldn't help but shudder. Her jealousy toward Hera seemed to grow stronger. Why could Bernard dote on Hera so much while being so cold to Everly?
