Chapter 412
Grannie Anita had just given herself away. Katelyn’s dislike for Julie grew stronger. She said, “Mom, a
woman of integrity shouldn’t meddle in other people’s marriages.”
“I’m not discussing this with you.” Grannie Anita couldn’t win the argument against Katelyn, so she took
her cane and ascended the stairs.
At the hospital.
Herman sat beside Pattie, reading children’s books, teaching her nursery rhymes, and helping her
practice writing. Herman was incredibly patient when it came to this.
Anastasia smiled and said, “Once Pattie starts first grade next term, you’re taking over her studies.”
Herman replied, “No problem. Pattie is smart. She learns quickly.”
Pattie, being praised, was bubbling with joy and self-praise. “I’m the best. Dad, see, did I write it right?”
Pattie had already learned a lot of words and could write her own name. She recognized over five
hundred words.
Herman checked and praised, “Pattie, your handwriting is beautiful. You might become a calligrapher in
the future.”
“Really?” Pattie was very happy.
Anastasia laughed and said, “Herman, don’t overpraise her. Look at her, she’s over the moon.”
Pattie sweetly smiled and said, “Mommy, I don’t live on the moon. Only aliens do. Teacher said we live
on the earth.”
Anastasia laughed at Pattie’s remark. “You smartie, you’ve been studying for a while now. It’s time to
rest.”
Anastasia also had some questions for Herman, but she waited until after Pattie had rested. “What did
you do at Eagle Corporation today?” Anastasia asked. “I asked Dailey. He said Anthony revealed
Joseph as the man behind everything. Who is he, your business rival?” Anastasia was curious about
Joseph. She had no quarrel with him.
Herman’s eyes slightly narrowed. He pondered for a moment, and said, “He’s my father’s illegitimate
son, and also a business competitor.”
“What? Your dad has a son outside?” Anastasia was taken aback. Feiman and Katelyn seemed very
loving normally.
“It’s an old story. I don’t know much about it either.” Herman said, “My mom doesn’t know yet. I’ll let my
dad handle it.” All content is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Your mom will not accept this if she finds out. Anastasia immediately felt sympathy for Katelyn.
Herman said, “I’ll go back to Salstrom Manor later.”
Anastasia nodded. “Alright, you go ahead with your work. I will take care of Pattie.”
After a while, Herman left. Anastasia had no idea what happened between him and his family that
night. She later heard from Flynn that Feiman confessed to Katelyn that night, and Katelyn locked
herself up at home for a day and a night, refusing to see anyone or eat anything. Grannie Anita was
overjoyed and muttered about Feiman bringing his illegitimate son home to make the family more
prosperous.
Indeed, in the world of the rich and powerful, it’s hard to find a family without illegitimate children.
Pattie was discharged from the hospital after almost a month. During her hospital stay, Gianna visited a
few times. Every time Gianna came, Herman was there. Once, Gianna came when Herman had
brought Nelson, and Nelson was wearing the tie Gianna had given to Herman.
Seeing the gift she carefully selected around another man’s neck, Gianna felt her heart sink. Her little
fantasy was shattered.
After Pattie was discharged, Anastasia moved directly to their new house.
Herman hired a dietitian to take care of Anastasia, and Salma also moved in with them. Pattie started
at a new school. Everything seemed to be moving in a positive direction. As for the trouble Tavon
caused, Anastasia could ignore it.
Anastasia’s belly was growing. She was thrilled. Herman was very concerned, but he never showed it
on his face, always asking Anastasia if she felt any discomfort.
Anastasia seldom went out. She stayed at home drawing and designing, spending time with Pattie, and
strolling in the yard with Herman after meals. In a blink of an eye, Anastasia was five months pregnant.
Gianna’s coffee shop opened, and she invited Anastasia for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
