Under the Heiress' Facade



Chapter 770

Hera hopped into Samantha's car, and they both headed to a restaurant. When they arrived, they headed straight to a private room.

After ordering their food, Hera straightened her back and perked up her ears, ready to listen to Samantha.

"Tell me," said Hera. "How did you and Shaun get into a fight?"

From what she knew, Samantha and Shaun had been as close to each other as they could have been since they got together.

Shaun adored her and pampered her. After learning that she liked diamonds, he gave her a diamond every day so that she wouldn't have to wear the same jewelry all the time.

And when Samantha wanted to make a film, he helped her look for a director and spent a fortune so that her wish could come true.

Once, he bought a star in the sky and named it after her simply because she said it looked pretty.

Just two days ago, Samantha brought up the matter of marrying him and having kids with him. But today, she told Hera that she and him got into a fight and were going to break up. This was the first time Samantha said anything about getting into a fight with Shaun. Being the curious cat she was, Hera leaped at the smell of gossip-scratch that, she was here to comfort her poor friend, Samantha.

It was a miracle that Samantha and Shaun stayed together for so long. Back then, lots of gossip about them circulated in the entertainment industry in the country and also abroad. One day, a person in the country would hear about Shaun having a new girlfriend. On another day, there'd be gossip about Samantha finding herself a new boyfriend overseas.

Both Shaun and Samantha changed lovers so quickly like it was no big deal. Their relationship never lasted for more than three months, resulting in them being called the " King of Playboys" and "Queen of Playgirls".

Therefore, when the two of them got in and out of a hotel together and were seen by some reporters, they immediately made the headlines.

There were people who started betting that Samantha and Shaun would break up after a day. To everyone's surprise, the two of them stayed with each other for more than half a year.noveldrama

Later on, people started commenting that only Shaun, the King of Playboys, would be able to capture Samantha's heart and that she, the Queen of Playgirls, was the only woman capable of having Shaun's heart.

"We fought because we couldn't agree on whose surname our child would take," said Samantha. She propped her elbows on the table and rested her chin on her hands, frowning all the while.

"What?" Hera thought she had misheard Samantha. "You two fought because of that?"

"Yeah." Samantha seethed. "Why should the baby follow his surname when I'm going to be the one who bears all the pain of giving birth?"

She continued, "I'm the only descendant of the Steele family. Of course, the baby has to

follow my surname and inherit my family's assets in the future.

"My grandpa was even one of the members of the Elvermark royal family, but in the end, my dad took my grandma's surname, and I took my mom's.

"Isn't it normal? My family has a tradition of taking the mother's surname. But Shaun said he's the only descendant of his family and that our baby has to take his last name and inherit his family's assets!"

Hera was speechless.

"Oh, Hera," Samantha wailed, grabbing Hera's hands and swinging them back and forth." What should I do? Help me think of something. I don't want to break up with him. He's the only man I like, and he isn't after my family's money. He gives me diamonds of all hues every day."

Hera was aware that the Steele family had the tradition of taking the surnames of the women in the family. Her grandfather and father loved her grandmother and mother a lot, and it showed.

Hera suggested, "You can have two babies. One will take your last name, while the other will take Shaun's. That way, you two won't have to fight over the matter anymore."

Samantha's eyes lit up with delight at the suggestion. "That's great! Why didn't I think of that before? You're a genius, Hera!"

That said, Samantha pecked Hera on the cheek, which made Hera speechless once again.

Bernard was leaning on the couch in a private room on the third floor of Nightless Haven. His grip on the wine glass was light as the liquor swirled in the glass. He exuded an air of elegance as he languidly sat on the couch.

"What's with that look on your face?" Shaun said after finishing the wine in his own glass. He couldn't help but ask after noticing the absent-minded look on Bernard's face.

Initially, Shaun had asked Bernard out for a drink to clear his mind, but it seemed like Bernard wasn't in a good mood either.
