Chapter 1405


    Hertha was more feminine than before.This text is ? N?velDrama/.Org.


    Three years had passed, yet they hadn''t left a single mark on her. Instead, they seemed to have sculpted a richer, more


    voluptuous aura around her.


    The color of deep ocean blue of her hair, cascaded down her shoulders, was as breathtaking as a mermaid''s.


    Her big, round eyes darted about nervously, her longshes veiling her lids in a panicked flutter, like a rabbit caught in a snare.


    ric thought back to that night three years ago, how fiery she had seemed. But in truth, she was as fierce as a paper tiger—


    crumbling into vulnerability at the first true test.


    Up close, her faint scent ofvender teased ric’s senses, bringing back the memory of that night.


    Clumsy, yet tender.


    His voice tightened in his throat,ing out low and husky. "Hertha, answer me!"


    ric''s gravelly tone was like electricity to Hertha''s ears. Despite her outward resistance to him, her body melted at his words.


    Panic-stricken, she gazed into his handsome, serious eyes—those eyes that now bore into her with a mix of desire and severity,


    a captivating blend that was impossible to ignore.


    As he stood close, his masculine presence enveloped her, and she could distinctly smell the light mint and tobo on him.


    Her heart raced uncontrobly.


    Hertha felt her strength waning, her hands braced against the wall behind her for support, to keep herself upright.


    Under ric''s intense gaze, she was about to exin that she had onlye to confront Dr. Funke with Thssa, hoping he


    would treat Lysander. They hadn''t done their research on what Dr. Funke looked like, so her strategy was to force him to reveal


    himself.


    She hadn''t seduced any man in the past three years.


    "| was just..." Hertha began.


    But a sickeningly sweet voice cut her off.


    “ric, here you are. You promised we''d leave together after the meeting. Why didn''t you wait for me..."


    The voice was deliberately coquettish, sending shivers down Hertha’s spine.


    Hertha stopped mid-sentence,


    peering through the gap in ric’


    arms towards ene


    vomne an gatht soaks dripping in


    jewels, made her way towards them


    on high heels, her tiny waist swaying.
