Bernard held Viona's hand as they walked past the bodyguards towards the black car parked in front of the mansion.
One of the bodyguards took the two suitcases carried by Bernard and Viona, and placed them in one of the parked black cars.
William and his wife were shocked to see the bodyguards bowing respectfully to Bernard. They couldn't believe what they were seeing.
Even Bernard's in-laws and siblings, who had come to witness the scene, couldn't believe that someone like Bernard, considered trash, was being treated like a Lord.
A bodyguard opened the car door for Bernard and Viona, and then Bernard gestured for Viona to get in first before he entered the car himself.
The bodyguard closed the car door slowly.
The bulletproof black car began to move one by one, leaving Antonius family mansion after Bernard and Viona had entered it.
William and his family members remained stunned as they watched the procession of black cars leaving their mansion's driveway.
Was this really the Bernard they knew? The Bernard they oppressed and no longer considered family? It turns out Bernard had been pretending to be foolish all along.
Meanwhile, Viona, who was inside the car with Bernard, still couldn't believe what was happening.
She looked at Bernard, who appeared calm and different from two hours ago.
Her husband seemed dominant, and his aura felt powerful like a ruler. It made Viona feel scared and nervous.
Bernard looked at Viona, and instantly, Viona became even more nervous. Unconsciously, she shifted her seat slightly away from Bernard.
Bernard furrowed his brow, seeing his wife keeping her distance from him.
Bernard's hand pulled Viona closer to him.
"Why are you distancing yourself?" Bernard asked, wrapping his arm around Viona's waist.
Viona was greatly surprised to feel Bernard's hand hugging her waist, which made her even more flustered and embarrassed.
This wasn't the usual Bernard, her cold husband who never tried to touch her in the slightest.
Viona felt tense, feeling that Bernard was like a different person, with a completely different personality.
"Don't be nervous...weren't you so brave and incredibly strong in defending me earlier, my wife?" Bernard whispered in Viona's ear, his lips touching her earlobe.
Viona felt her cheeks blush, and she didn't know why her heart was racing.
Viona looked out the car window, realizing that they seemed to be entering a forested area towards the mountains.
The road was smooth asphalt, and the air in this forest appeared very cool and clean.
"Where are we going?" Viona asked, changing the subject. She didn't dare to move in Bernard's embrace.
"We're going home, to our future home, my wife!" Bernard said, smiling at Viona.
Viona felt her cheeks grow even redder, and she became even more nervous. Although Bernard never smiled in her presence, this was truly like a stranger, a newly-wed husband she didn't recognize.
Not long after, they entered a tall gate. When the gate opened, they saw a spacious yard with neatly trimmed and beautiful bongsai flower hedges.
The yard was planted with lush green grass, and in the middle of the garden, a large fountain was visible, flowing with great beauty.
The beautiful garden was in front of a massive mansion, even grander than the Antonius family mansion.
The mansion resembled a castle from a fairy tale, truly magnificent.
Apparently, her husband was extremely wealthy, surpassing the Antonius family.
