He added, "No, there's another one." Hera raised an eyebrow, indicating that he should continue.

Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"The bracelet on your hand wasn't given by Ms. Daphne. I asked her to give it to you on my behalf." Hera raised her right hand and glanced at the bracelet on her wrist, slightly perplexed. She had always carefully stored this bracelet, even considering it to be her lucky charm.
Wasn't this Daphne's keepsake? Hera suddenly found it somewhat hard to accept. After all, the bracelet carried too much sentimental value for her.
Bernard hesitated before saying, "You can't consider thislying to you, right? You got it all wrong..." Hera looked up at him without a word. Yes, he did say that he had feelings for her from a young age.
She suddenly felt like she was the prey that was captured by the hunter'sand was forced to stay with Bernard. Although he did not actually hurt her, she truly did not like the feeling of being controlled. "Let's break up." Bernard was already prepared for the worst after telling Hera about the bracelet, but he never expected how ruthless she would be.
He took a deep breath and nodded. "Okay, I'll respect your wishes." Hera was speechless. He was never considerate of her whenever they were in bed, yet he agreed to break up without hesitation.
She felt like she was about to explode with anger because of him. That kind of emotion terrified her as she had always believed that she had a good grasp over her emotions.
But after meeting Bernard, she seemed to constantly lose control of her emotions. Since she had already asked to break up, her pride would not allow her to take back her words.
She nodded and stubbornly said, "Okay! Go back to Jedburgh tonight and move your things out of the courtyard house!" Bernard frowned. "That fast?" "What are you waiting for? A red carpet?" Hera asked icily.

I'll go back and pack up my things soon." Bernard rose to his feet and walked over to Hera. He held her shoulders and said earnestly, "Sweetie, I'm sorry about what happened before, but I don't regret lying to you. If could do it all over again, I'd do the same." Hera was speechless. What kind of man was he? "I searched for 11 years before you finally appeared. I can't pretend not to care about you, nor do I want to lose you," Bernard continued.
Startled and confused by his words, Hera subconsciously asked, "How could you have lost what you never had?" "You once said that you wanted to marryafter growing up. That makes you mine!" Bernard gazed at her seriously.
Hera wanted to ask when she said that. She then suddenly recalled she was rather rather naïve and idealistic as a child. She might have uttered those words, but she could not remember. swr
Besides, Bernard shouldn't have taken her words as a child seriously. But that wasn't the point now. Even if he did take her seriously, how could he have agreed to break up so quickly? Hera shoved his hands away. "Typical men! I don't trust you anymore!"
Without even getting angry, Bernard continued, "That's okay. It was myl fault, so if you want to break up, I'll t En respect your decision."
