Chapter 693 Husband Mode
"Don’t worry, baby. The person behind this attack won’t get away with it—we’ll make sure justice is served," Luke said, his usual gentle and sunny demeanor darkening with a sharp glint in his eyes. It was in moments like these that his hidden side surfaced, the one most people never got to see.
Hera had always known that Luke could be dangerous—perhaps even more dangerous than anyone else around her. Yet, she never felt afraid of him. After all, the true menace of the novel wasn’t Luke, but the main villain. Or maybe... they weren’t so different. Or was it Luke all along?
Either way, Hera was certain of one thing—Luke would never harm her. Instead, he would protect her, just as he once protected the female lead in the original story.
Hera nodded without revealing her true intentions.
She understood that these men were determined to help and protect her, and if she constantly acted independently—making it seem like she didn’t need their assistance or could handle everything on her own—they might feel disheartened.
It could make them question their usefulness or even their reliability. After all, if she truly valued their support, why wouldn’t she rely on them?
She knew that dismissing their efforts could unintentionally wound their pride, and she had no intention of doing that.
From time to time, it was alright to show vulnerability in front of her men, allowing them to feel that their strength and protection were valued. It reinforced their sense of purpose and masculinity, especially for men who took pride in cherishing their women and treating them like queens.
After all, men who truly treasured their partners wanted to feel needed, to be the protectors and providers they believed they should be.
