Chapter 502

"After breaking up, I'll win you over again," Bernard said.

Hera thought she misheard him. "What?"

"I'll win you over again," Bernard repeated. "This time, I won't hide who I am from you, nor will I trick you again.

"I want to start a relationship with you again with no lies and secrets. After that, we'll get married and have children together to fulfill our previous vows. We'll continue to collect the elements of the periodic table and grow old together."

Hera almost laughed out of exasperation. "You really are confident. With so many men in this world, why would I hang on to you?"

Bernard replied, 'It's true that there are many men in this world, but not many could make you trust them. Go ahead, then. Once you've found a trustworthy man, I'll cripple him and see who else will dare to be with you." "You..." Hera suddenly felt like she had been hit where it hurt the most.

"Sweetie, you know I always keep my word. If you want to be in a relationship, be with me for the rest of your

life

"You can be angry at me, beat me up, scold me, and use your needles on me. You can even ask me to kneel on a bed of nails or anything sharp. I'm at your disposal for your torture.

"But don't fall for anyone else even if you no longer love me. Otherwise, I truly can't guarantee that I won't murder the man."

Hera was startled by his words. Her heart picked up its pace for a few minutes before quickly calming down. "You only know how to sweet talk! Besides, you were the one who tricked me before! I won't pursue the fact that you hid your identity as Vulcan since I never told you I was Raven. We're even on this. But you lied to me by not telling me that you're Grandmaster of Astral Nova!"

Hera recalled how she had foolishly searched for medicine to treat Bernard, only to replace out that he had been messing with her all along. The fury in her heart couldn't seem to go away.

Bernard lowered his head, feeling guilty. "Yes, I'll turn over a new leaf and become a better person. I won't do it again."

"Sure, go ahead and work on yourself, then. Since you have so many assistants, I'm sure I don't have to tell you where's the best place for self-improvement."

Hera went to the office desk and unplugged the USB flash drive. Her words had left Bernard speechless.

"Right, I have something to ask you.' Hera suddenly thought of something.

"Yes?" Bernard walked over. While pursing his lips, he stood in front of the office desk obediently.

"Be honest. How many exes have you had?" Hera asked suspiciously.

Bernard answered solemnly, "I promise I'm not lying to you about this. You're the only girlfriend I've ever had. I won't look for anyone else as I only want to spend my days with you for the rest of my life."

"Don't be disgusting. You don't have a girlfriend now!' she interrupted him. "Where do you even learn all this flattery from?"

"I'm naturally good at it." His words rendered Hera speechless. Bernard was truly one of a kind.

Hera checked the time and noticed that it was already getting late. "I suppose you don't have anything else to say, right? Then, you should hurry back and pack your belongings."

"Do I really have to pack?" Bernard truly had no idea what to say. How could Hera be so heartless?

"Didn't you say that you'd respect my decision?"

Bernard said nothing, knowing that he had truly crossed the line. It wouldn't be easy to earn her forgiveness, so he could only take it slow and go along with her.

By the time the two came out of the office, most people had dispersed from the banquet hall. Bernard led Hera to the executive elevator and went down to the parking lot on the basement level.

Hera took her phone out to call for a cab, but Bernard had already opened the passenger door and said, "I'll send you back."

Before she could even reject him, he continued, "Since I wish to win you over again, you should give me a chance to prove myself."

Hera laughed wearily. "What if I don't?"

"Then I won't go back to pack my things, and I won't break up with you either. Bernard had turned stubborn.

"You.." Hera was completely speechless. She wondered what she should do to get rid of him. Did he really think that she couldn't do anything to him?

"Fine!" She got into the car and gave her address. "Let's go to Jedburgh right away."
