"What do you need it for?" Hera asked while frowning slightly.
Bernad's low voice sounded hoarse through the phone. "It's so I can use it when I miss you." Hera becstartled as an image of Bernard hugging her clothes crossed her mind, causing her face to turn slightly warm.

Meanwhile, Bernard stared at the phone after she disconnected the call. He chuckled before turning to put Hera's most worn black silk nightgown into his suitcase.
Samantha took a bottle of Romanée-Conti and two wine glasses from the wine rack. After setting them on the coffee table, she poured the wine into the glasses.
"What's going on with the two of you? Besides, the headlines are all about you. Your alias is like an atomic bomb that took everyone by surprise after it exploded. Seems like even Mr. Killian couldn't accept it, huh?" Hera raised her wine glass and took a sip before briefly explaining everything that happened earlier. As soon as she finished speaking, she did not forget to warn Samantha, "Keep what you know about his identity to yourself. Don't tell anyone else." After hearing that, Samantha hurriedly drank three glasses of wine to suppress her shock. She nearly screamed, "Mr. Killian is actually Grandmaster of Astral Nova? He..." Hera quickly covered Samantha's mouth. "Don't talk about this anymore. Remember to keep it a secret." Samantha mumbled while nodding vigorously.

He was trying to take my place in your heart!" Hera was rendered speechless, wondering if that was the point. Shouldn't they focus on how Bernard had fooled her? "You don't have to be jealous. I already asked him to move out by tonight!" Hera took another sip of wine. "But think about it, are you two truly breaking up? You sure it's not a little between you lovebirds?" Samantha questioned skeptically.

He could just find an excuse anytand move back, right?" Seeing how Hera gulped down half a glass of wine as if it were water, Samantha hurriedly set her wine glass down to stop her.
"Don't drink so fast since you can't handle alcohol well. You'll get drunk even faster this way." By then, Hera was already slightly tipsy. She replied while slurring slightly, "If he were to move back, I'd just move out. I'll even pay him rent for the clinic." "No way! You're going too easy on
him! After all, you did cure his illness. The content is on novelenglish.net! The money spent to buy the Eclipse
