The Bound Between Us

Chapter 341

Herman’s words hit like a bolt from the blue, creating a splash as if a bomb had been thrown into a serene lake. Upon hearing the shocking news, Grannie Anita felt lightheaded, nearly fainting on the spot.

Katelyn quickly steadied her, saying, “Mom.”

“It’s over, it’s all over.” Grannie Anita clutched her chest, heartbroken.

In the grand foyer where the banquet was held, a number of people who were oblivious to Herman’s marital status were taken aback by the startling revelation. Even those who were aware of Herman’s marital status were curious as they had never seen Mrs. Salstrom, his elusive wife. They wondered who this mysterious Mrs. Salstrom was and what charm she possessed to have won over a man like Herman.

The banquet hall buzzed with speculation about Mrs. Salstrom’s identity, and back in the live chatroom, it was all kicking off. Netizens were flooding the chat with

comments.

“Wow, Herman really is married.”

“This is jaw-dropping.”

“Does anyone know who this Mrs. Salstrom is?”

“How did we miss this massive piece of news?”

“No wonder Herman was all smiles. He’s got a ladylove.”

“Who is the woman who stole Herman’s heart?”

“My heart’s broken. My dream man is taken.”

“I’m heartbroken too.”

“When is polygamy going to be a thing? I’d happily be Herman’s second wife.”

The comment section was alive and buzzing. The live chatroom was flooded with excited viewers. Everyone was eager to catch a glimpse of the mysterious Mrs. Salstrom, not daring to blink.

Herman made his way off the stage towards Anastasia, with the spotlight following him all the way.

When he reappeared on the stage and hand-in-hand with Anastasia, everyone, both in the banquet hall and the live chatroom, were completely taken aback.

Anastasia, dressed in a gradient purple gown, her curly hair cascaded down her shoulders and her delicate features, looked like a fairy descended from heaven. She looked impeccable from every angle. There wasn’t a single flaw to her. Her skin was as smooth as silk, her eyes sparkled, and she had a statuesque figure. Standing next to Herman, they were a match made in heaven, a strikingly beautiful couple.

Anastasia held the mic and confidently addressed the crowd, “Hello, everyone. I’m Anastasia, Herman’s wife.”

This statement not only confirmed Herman’s marital status but also affirmed his manhood and dignity. She was more than happy to play the role of the doting wife in public. What happened in the privacy of their home was another story.

Anastasia’s entrance left the viewers in the live chatroom completely speechless. It was as if time had frozen. Herman held onto Anastasia’s hand tightly, staring at her with an affectionate gaze that was

enough to make anyone melt. The love was practically pouring out of the screen.

Julie, watching from the crowd, was seething with jealousy. Her eyes, filled with envy, were fixed on Anastasia. She envied Anastasia for her beauty, for being in the spotlight, and for being Herman’s wife.

Collin sighed, “What more could a man ask for?”

Flynn joked, “If Anastasia lived in ancient times, she’d be a seductive enchantress causing ruin and chaos.”

Lauren quickly chided him, “Watch your words. You’re the enchantress here. Anastasia is more like a queen, revered by all.”

Flynn quickly apologized, “My mistake.”

Christine added, “Mr. Salstrom and Anastasia make such an eye-pleasing couple.”

Pattie proudly declared, “My mom is the most beautiful woman in the world, and my dad is the most handsome man.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Salma, too, was thrilled for Anastasia. Seeing her daughter and son-in-law together, so much in love, filled her heart with joy.”

Herman, eyes full of love, said to the crowd, “Meeting Anastasia and having the privilege to call her my wife is the greatest blessing of my life, I promise to cherish and protect her for the rest of my life. Please bear witness to our love.”

His heartfelt declaration sent the viewers in the live chatroom into a frenzy. Comments flooded the chatroom, filled with envy for Anastasia.

“I’m so jealous of Anastasia. Her skin is flawless.”

“All I want is to look like her. Maybe then I could be a pole dancer in Vegas.”

“Hot guys get the hot girls, and us mere mortals just don’t stand a chance.”

“If they have a kid, that kid is going to be out of this world.”

“With such great genes, they must have an entire soccer team.”

The comment section was all over the place.

Julie, seeing all the praise and admiration for Anastasia, couldn’t hide her jealousy. She started badmouthing Anastasia with a dummy account.

“Anastasia didn’t even finish high school. She has no shame and used underhanded tactics to seduce Herman.”

Her comment was quickly lost in the sea of other comments, having no effect whatsoever, which made her so mad.
