Chapter 775 Before The Competition
Seeing the glimmer in their eyes, followed by the soft flush of shyness on their faces, Hera smiled knowingly. Now that the weight of guilt and anger had been lifted and they were offered a new path, it was as if these two were seeing each other in a different light.
A flicker of something had started to bloom in their hearts. Hera couldn’t have asked for a better outcome. After all, they had already shared the night together, and based on Athena’s story, their physical chemistry was undeniably good.
With just a small spark of emotion, something deeper could grow—if handled with care, it wouldn’t be long before true feelings blossomed between them. Perhaps what happened wasn’t a mistake, but a blessing in disguise.
At the moment, only Zen and Athena remained unaware of what Hera was thinking. Being the ones directly involved, they couldn’t quite see the bigger picture—or how differently they now looked at each other. But as always, the bystander sees things more clearly.
Hera smiled warmly and took a step back, giving them the space to get to know one another better. Just a few days ago, they were both laughing about being single and how not being in a relationship was a blessing.
Thinking back to that conversation made Hera chuckle quietly to herself as she stole a glance at Zen and Athena—both silent now, both stealing shy glances at each other.
Perhaps those old sayings about love growing after marriage weren’t so wrong after all. They had already proven their physical chemistry; now, all that remained was to discover if their personalities were just as compatible.
Somehow, Hera felt a flutter of excitement at the thought of how things might unfold between Zen and Athena. Maybe this was how Athena had felt when she was eagerly watching Hera’s story with her six lovers play out. The thought made Hera feel giddy, and her smile was impossible to hide.
Beside her, Liz wore the same knowing smile, and the two exchanged a soft chuckle as they stole glances at the pair. Without saying a word, they took a few quiet steps back—subtly giving Zen and Athena the space they needed to let something special begin.
