Under the Heiress' Facade

Chapter 737

Hera was puzzled. Why was Bernard acting strange today? Was he okay?

She glanced at the mirror and suddenly realized something. "This is the women's restroom. You need to leave."

Bernard had been so worried about her that he hadn't thought twice before rushing in. Just then, a woman walked out from one of the stalls and bumped into him.

The woman froze for a moment before letting out a scream.

Hera was about to push Bernard out when she saw the blushing woman rush out while sending a voice message to her friend, "Hey, girl. You won't believe me! I accidentally walked into the wrong restroom but saw this incredibly handsome guy..."

Both Hera and Bernard fell silent.

As they left the restroom, Bernard carefully supported Hera by the waist, concerned that she might slip.

"If you don't feel like eating meat, I can take you somewhere else. Do you want something sour or spicy?" Bernard asked gently.

Hera was still feeling queasy from the nausea. She remembered the disgusting image of Linda and couldn't bear the thought of meat. And she wasn't in the mood for sour or spicy food either. "I want something sweet."

Bernard had only heard of a pregnant woman craving sour or spicy food. And there was an old wives' tale that said a woman's cravings would reveal their baby's gender. What did craving sweet foods mean?

Regardless of whether it was a boy or a girl, Bernard would love the baby all the same.

"Alright, I'll take you to a dessert shop for some cake." He smiled.

But Hera declined, "This restaurant has desserts too. I'll just order something here."

After all, she was the one who had invited everyone out for dinner. It wouldn't feel right to leave when they hadn't even started eating.

Bernard was annoyed at the thought of those two men in the private room eyeing her but still followed her back.

When they returned to the room, Hera was surprised to find that most of the meat had already been grilled and eaten. Only vegetables were left.

Hera was speechless. What speed!

"Hera, are you feeling better? Have some lemonade." Samantha handed her the drink.

"Hera, are you really..." Before Thiago could finish, Hera's phone rang, interrupting him.

She handed the lemonade to Bernard and checked her phone. It was Gino. She stepped out onto the balcony to take the call.

"What's up?" she asked.

"Hera, can I sell Killian Corporation's shares on Monday?" Gino asked.

Hera opened the page. Since Gino had bought in, the share price had risen by 30%. Not bad. It had hit the upper limit on Friday and would likely stay like that for a while on Monday morning, making it a good time to sell.

"By the way, I received several calls from scammers pretending to be from securities companies yesterday. They must think I don't know the official numbers. I reported them all to the anti-fraud department," Gino said proudly.

"Good job," Hera praised. "Sell everything as soon as the market opens on Monday."

Gino thought he had misheard. "Wait, did you just say I did a good job? Hang on. Say it again! Gideon, come here! Hera just praised me!"

Hera smiled as she heard Gino run upstairs and Judy's voice reminding him to be careful. She patiently waited on the line.

Back in the private room, Thiago declared, "Bernard, we've already worked it out. When the baby's born, I'll be the first dad, Tyler will be the second, and Nicholas the third. Samantha will be the godmother, Shaun the godfather, Aaron the second, Nathan the third, and Nicholas will be the uncle!"

Bernard sneered at his words.
