Chapter 194


    It was unknown whether Hera''sforting embrace or Bernard''s aggravating words were the ones working wonders, for Tiramisu looked a lot better after a while. Not only did it stop shivering, but it also jumped to the floor and began sniffing around the ne, as though it was exploring a brand new territory.


    Bernard told Dous to keep an eye on Tiramisu before taking Hera back to the bedroom. "You can take a few photos of me here for now."


    Hera epted the camera mutely. She began to tinker with the camera to find out how to use it.


    The moment she raised her head, Bernard had already taken off his jacket and shirt, revealing his sculpted and scarred body.


    Needless to say, Hera was rendered speechless.


    Based on how quickly Bernard had stripped, it seemed that he was pretty used to stripping in front of others.


    Hera lifted the camera and took a photo of Bernard to gauge her skills. After navigating to the album and selecting the photo, she nced at it before quietly passing the camera to Bernard.


    "Should the photo look like this?"


    Bernard epted the camera and looked at the photo. He was so stunned that he couldn''t utter a word.


    "Um... I guess that''s a no?" Hera let out an awkward cough once she noticed how silent Bernard was. She knew the answer to her question, yet she still chose to ask it.


    Hera rarely took photos, let alone selfies. It was only natural for her to be bad at taking photos.


    Bernard was still stunned by the photo. There was a running joke on the Inte iming that the photos taken by boyfriends often depicted their girlfriends from the worst angle. It turned out that Hera somehow possessed the same talent.


    The only reason why the photo looked fine was all thanks to Bernard''s gorgeous looks.


    "You can take good photos after some practice," Bernard saidfortingly.


    Hera didn''t say anything in response.


    "I''ll teach you."


    Bernard moved to stand next to Hera before swapping the camera back to the photo-taking mode. He pointed the camera at various objects in the room and began exining the photo-taking techniques that weremonly used by photographers to her.


    Hera practiced diligently the whole time. She''d take photos of Bernard from time to time in order to hone her skill.


    Three hourster, the nended safely at Lumiville Airport. At that time, Hera was finally able to snap decent photos of Bernard.


    They got into a car outside the airport and went on a half-hour-long trip. After that, they took a yacht, which brought them to an ind.


    The ind was covered in a thick,


    lush forest. The scenery there was breathtakingly beautiful. There were a few vis spread out in the forest. Even the sea there was azure blue, though there was no one to be seen on the vast beach. Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    "A filming crew has been filming on the ind over the past two days, so the entire ind was cleared out in advance," Dous exined.


    Hera wasn''t sure if she truly believed Dous'' excuse.


    Soon, the group arrived at a private vi. They rested right after having a nice lunch.


    5:00 pm was the time when the sun''s rays weren''t that strong anymore. That was when Hera decided to change into her swimsuit and have fun on the beach.


    But when she opened the baggage Bernard had prepared for her, she saw a colorful assortment of sundresses and underwear. There was even a wide-brimmed hat and extra pairs of sandals stowed away in the baggage. The swimsuit was the only thing missing from the pile.


    "I didn''t expect that the beach would be cleared out, so I didn''t prepare a swimsuit for you," Bernard exined from the doorway.


    By then, he had already changed into a white tank top and a pair of vibrant beach shorts.


    Hera didn''t know what to say.


    In other words, Bernard didn''t prepare swimwear for her on purpose.


    But she really wanted to go swimming...


    "I''ll definitely prepare swimwear for you the next time we visit a ce without anyone else around," Bernard added.


    The truth was that swimsuits were included in the apparel list provided by the branded outlets. Bernard had nced at the swimsuits, only to realize that they were too skimpy and revealing. He thought that there might be creeps lurking on the beach, so he decided not to bring any of them.


    Once again, Hera remained quiet.


    In the end, she dug out a pale yellow sundress with cute prints on it. Then, she closed the door and changed into it.


    The moment Hera reached the living room, she caught sight of Dous speaking with a young man with dyed silver-gray hair, who stood outside the front door.


    "We don''t have that. You''ll have to take him to the hospital."


    The young man looked rtively disappointed. He thanked Dous and was about to leave when he saw Hera, causing his eyes to sparkle happily.


    "Boss!"
