Chapter 668
Today was Bernard’s birthday. Frederick’s subordinates had informed him that Douglas had booked the tickets.

But Douglas was a bachelor. If he were to book tickets for an amusement park, he would definitely have done so for Bernard.
Thus, Frederick intentionally reserved the entire amusement park to make things difficult for Bernard.
Frederick was confident that even if Bernard did not get on his knees and beg, he would still try to curry favor with him. If that didn’t happen, the effort of hiring people to set up the venue would be all for nothing.
“Beg you?” Bernard looked at Frederick as if he was a fool.
Frederick replied, “Exactly. If you”
“Freddy, let’s not make things tough for Mr. Bernard. After all, we’ll be family in the future. We should let them in, “Yvette gently advised while holding Frederick’s arm.
Raymond and Bernard were responsible for discussing the collaboration between the Caddels and Killians. Whether it was for getting along with the Killian family in the future or for the sake of her own family, Yvette did not want to offend Bernard.
Frederick scowled slightly, seemingly displeased with Yvette for undermining him at that moment.
“Ms. Caddel? You usually don’t go out often, so you rarely keep up with the news online, right?” Hera suddenly asked.
Yvette became slightly shy. She nervously tugged at Frederick’s sleeve while answering in a low voice, “Yeah.” Yvette had social anxiety and was naturally timid. Unless necessary, she would not leave the house at all. She would rather stay at home to read, write, and draw.
“So, you’re still unaware that this boyfriend of yours is actually gay, right?” Hera asked.
Bernard was surprised to hear that. How did Hera know that Frederick was gay?
Yvette was stunned. “What? How?”
“Why are you talking nonsense?” Frederick was caught off guard. He never expected Hera to be so tactless.
He was furious at how Hera had shared photos from his phone when he was not paying attention in the past. He
had spent a lot of effort and money on public relations to keep his sexual orientation a secret.
Since Frederick could not come clean about his sexual orientation, he could only take the loss in silence.
“If you make things up again, I have the right to sue you for defamation!” Frederick warned.
Yvette did not want this to be true. Thus, she said weakly, “You can’t joke about things like this.”
“Have you two slept together?” Hera asked nonchalantly.
Yvette faltered instantly as her face turned red. She couldn’t understand how Hera could casually ask such a private question. Hera was acting as if she was just asking whether Yvette had eaten.
But it was true that Yvette and Frederick had never had sex over the three years of their relationship. Even her best friend commented that he was rather abnormal.
A typical man would have desires. Thus, Yvette’s best friend had advised her to take the initiative in bed. That way, she could test whether Frederick could get it up.
Since Yvette was determined that she wouldn’t marry anyone else aside from Frederick, she decided to be bold and give it a try. In the end, Frederick said that a woman’s first time was very precious, so he wanted them to have sex for the first time as a married couple.
At that time, Yvette was very touched and believed Frederick to be a true gentleman. She even blamed herself for her earlier assumption about him. After that, she did not think about these matters anymore.
Yvette was rather shaken after hearing Hera’s sudden questions.
“Yvette, don’t listen to her nonsense,” Frederick anxiously defended himself. His words came out harsher than be intended since he did not manage to get a hold of himself in time.
Yvette was startled by his outburst. She immediately released his arm and stared at him fearfully.
Frederick always had been the perfect gentleman and was very gentle with her. Although Yvette had social anxiety, she believed that meeting such a kind and patient man like Frederick was one of the best things that happened to her.
Today, Yvette finally realized that his act was all just for show.
Yvette’s extreme reaction made Frederick realize that he had lost his composure. He did not want to continue bantering with Hera as she might reveal more of his secrets. A bold woman like her would have no qualms saying anything.
“What are you two doing there? These two are in the way. Quickly get rid of them!” Frederick barked orders at the two bodyguards standing at the entrance.
Afterward, he began to coax Yvette to enter the amusement park with him.
