Under the Heiress' Facade novel Chapter 637

At the same time, Hera was at the dining table, tasting the freshly made hummingbird cake that Bernard had prepared.

Bernard had expertly balanced the ingredients, and the sweetness level was just right.

The outer layer was chewy, while the inside was crispy and flavorful. It was better than the imported ones he bought.

Hera had always preferred the savory version of these cakes as the sweet ones often had too much sugar. But her opinion changed after tasting his creation.

"How is it?" Bernard leaned on the table, watching Hera take a small bite of the cake.

Hera nodded. "It's good. You could open a restaurant if you ever lose your job."

This was a compliment. His cooking skills were exceptional, making it hard for her to resist.

"I could, but I don't need to wait until I lose my job. I can open one now." Bernard straightened up and adjusted his apron, striking a waiter's pose. "I'd only serve you in my restaurant."

Hera's heart skipped a beat at this, and suddenly, the cake seemed even sweeter.

"How's our new dish, Ms. Youngworth? Is it tasty? Do you like it?" Bernard continued his act.

Hera played along and nodded. "It's delicious. I like it."

"Is it better than the one Thiago's mom made?" Bernard seized the opportunity.

Hera suddenly suspected that all his efforts were just to ask this question.

"Is it that hard to judge?" Bernard cocked a brow when she didn't respond.

Hera sighed helplessly and quickly finished the cake. She looked at him. "Are you satisfied now?"

Bernard noticed she was in a rush to leave, with stains still on the corner of her mouth, he reminded her, "Your mouth is dirty."

Eager to see what clues Xavier might've brought, Hera grabbed a napkin and wiped her mouth before leaving.

"You still have some stains." Bernard pulled her back.

Hera handed him the napkin. "Where's the stain? You wipe it."

Bernard lifted her chin and kissed her, kissing away the stains from the corner of her mouth before finally letting her go.
