The Bound Between Us

Chapter 352

Anastasia had already done her part; now it was Herman’s turn.

“Honestly, Granny.” Herman began, “If it weren’t for your grandson here doing his charming magic, Anastasia would have divorced me hundreds of times by now. So, it’s not that she can’t live without me, but that I can’t let her go.”.

“You chased her?” Granny Anita was taken aback. Her precious grandson, pursuing another woman? “The world is upside down.” She muttered.

Anastasia squeezed Herman’s hand and announced, “I’ve said what I needed to say. Goodnight, everyone. Herman and I will be leaving now.”

Granny Anita banged her cane on the floor, “Where do you think you’re taking my grandson, young lady? Herman, you’re staying right here tonight!”

A smirk played on Anastasia’s lips, “Are you sure, Granny? If Herman stays, I stay. We’re a married couple, he has duties to fulfill. It’s the law, you know And if I stay, well, it might affect your mood.”

Even Herman was taken aback by Anastasia’s blunt declaration. Watching Granny Anita fume, Herman couldn’t help but smile, a hint of adoration in his eyes.

Even Katelyn had to stifle a laugh. Feiman coughed lightly. This daughter-in-law of his was fearless. It looked like his son’s power dynamics at home were quite precarious.

Flynn was also taken by surprise. Who would have thought that the always gentle Anastasia could say something so daring?

Granny Anita was livid. After a moment, she spat, “Shameless.”

“Thank you for the compliment, Granny.” Anastasia responded cheerfully, “If there’s nothing else, we’ll be on our way!”

With that, she led Herman out, leaving a fuming Granny Anita behind. At this point, the best course of action was to support his wife. Anastasia had done so much for him. He had to reciprocate. His attitude would determine Anastasia’s standing in the Salstrom family. If he didn’t belittle Anastasia, no one else would dare to.

Granny Anita was left stomping her foot in frustration, “They’re running the show now, acting like I’m an old fool.”

Feiman and Katelyn shared a knowing glance, but said nothing. What their son and daughter-in-law did behind closed doors was none of their business.

Flynn quickly tried to placate Granny Anita, “How about a game of cards tomorrow? I can invite some friends over.”

An avid player for over fifty years, Granny Anita could never resist an invitation to the card table. Flynn was able to calm her down and lead her away, leaving Katelyn to sigh

in relief.

Feiman frowned, “She’s over eighty. She can’t take this kind of stress. We need to be more considerate of her.”

Katelyn scoffed, “She’s as spry as ever. Besides, after all these years, nothing I do seems to please her anyway. At least Anastasia can handle her. It’s like the saying goes, ‘every dog has its day!”

Feiman could only sigh in response. Being a Salstrom man was no easy task.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

“Whether it’s mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, or grandmother and grandson, it’s always the men that are the problem. If you were half as assertive as Herman, would your mother have been able to bully me all these years?” Katelyn said.

Feiman felt wronged, “How did this become my fault? I’m just a semi-retired executive. All I want is to enjoy my life.”

Katelyn shot him a cold glance, “All you want to do is sleep. Did you ever stop to think about how Granny found out about Anastasia’s infertility? Or who sent that anonymous package to our house? Someone’s trying to create trouble here, and I have a feeling they’re targeting Herman.”

Feiman shifted uncomfortably. His intuition told him that this had something to do with a certain someone.
