The Bound Between Us

Chapter 300

Couples often kissed and made up after a spat in bed. Any problem could be solved through communication, and if it couldn’t, well, communicating a few more times would do. Of course, we’re talking physical communication here.

Flynn downstairs was hoping for some juicy drama to unfold, but after a long wait, there was no sound to be heard. Flynn sighed, “Herman is such a calculated guy. Anastasia doesn’t stand a chance.”

Dailey asked seriously, “Anastasia fights too?”

Flynn gave Dailey a look. The pain of being single and not even knowing this. “Dailey, you should get a girlfriend when you have the time, so pitiful,” Flynn said sympathetically.

Dailey shook his head. “Why would I want a girlfriend? All that crying and nagging, it’s annoying.”

Flynn glanced at his hand. “What, planning to spend the rest of your life with your right hand?”

The next day.

Anastasia woke up in a soft bed, and the curtains were drawn, blocking all light. It was pitch black in the room, she couldn’t tell if it was day or night. She switched on the night light, and the room’s decor came into view, it felt like she had just woken from a dream. She nudged Herman awake. “Herman, I had a dream last night. I dreamt you became a billionaire.”

Herman didn’t open his eyes, and he lay there with a faint smile. “Why don’t you open the curtains and see if it’s a dream.”

The curtains were electric, Anastasia didn’t know, being new around here. She got out of bed to open them, but Herman had already hit the remote. The curtains slowly parted, and sunlight streamed in,

revealing the stunning view of the sky garden.

“This isn’t a dream,” Anastasia exclaimed, walking out to the balcony overlooking the mansion’s backyard, looking out at the entire villa district, and, even further, the iconic buildings of Riverdale.

Herman got up, and slipped on a shirt without buttoning it, showing off his muscular and powerful physique. It was extremely attractive. He walked up behind her, wrapping his arms around her. “Honey, take a look at the empire I’ve won for you.”

Even after a night, Anastasia was still a little shocked, excited, and incredulous. It felt like winning a billion-dollar lottery, who could stay calm? Anastasia turned to look at him, then back at the sky garden. “Herman, you’re already attractive enough. I bet there are love rivals I don’t even know about.” At this moment, Anastasia was a lot calmer, she and Herman were in different worlds, and she didn’t have the confidence to hold on to him for a lifetime.

Herman’s dark eyes looked straight into her soul, understanding her thoughts. “Whether two people can walk through life together isn’t about whether their wealth matches. If you met a regular guy instead of me at Cafe Bliss, and you two had to struggle for a living, fought over money, and let life’s trivialities wear you down, could you be sure he’d be with you for life?” Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

Anastasia’s bright eyes looked at him, and then she suddenly smiled. “You do have a point. Betrayal doesn’t depend on wealth. Whether you look good or not, anyone can betray. In that case, why not find a better one?”

“Marriage starts with fate, but it also depends on a person’s character.” Herman asked, “Don’t you trust your husband’s character?”

Anastasia was silent; thinking about her and Herman’s inability to have children, she felt a bit regretful.

Anastasía asked, “By the way, how did you find me last night?”

Herman replied, “I tried to call you, but your phone was unreachable, so I went back to your neighborhood. The security guard told me you had been back, but your mom said you didn’t come home, so I guessed something might have happened.” Herman continued, “Dailey is good at tracking, if he wants to find someone, it’s not a big deal.”

“Where’s my phone?” Anastasia suddenly remembered, her phone was missing, “Where’s my new phone?” She had just replaced her phone after the last car accident, and it wasn’t even a month old so she felt heartbroken.

Herman smiled. “Dailey got it back from Harmon.”

Anastasia was immediately relieved. “That’s good.”

Herman handed Anastasia her phone. Seeing it undamaged, she quickly turned it on. After unlocking her phone, Anastasia saw several messages from her mom. She quickly called her mom back, but the person who answered was Tavon.

“Ana, finally got through to your phone. Your mom is sick. She fainted all of a sudden.”
