In Chapter 101 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 101 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Herman frowned, and Collin added, "If the girl is a stunner, I'm worried she might pop up any moment like a ticking time bomb."
"I'm a married man now," Herman clarified. "I don't remember anything from that night, and even if something did happen, I only have one wife."
This piqued Collin's curiosity, and he asked, "What's your wife like that you're so devoted?"
Herman smiled and said, "She's like a fairy."
Collin joked, "Man, love really does change people. You’re all mushy and romantic."
On his way to work, Herman had comprehended the matter of Anastasia's purity.
Over the month, he had realized that he had grown accustomed to Anastasia's presence. He was ready to accept her past and embrace her future.
At that moment, Nelson walked in with a milkshake and said, "Mr. Salstrom, your takeout."
Herman responded softly as Nelson carefully placed the milkshake on the table.
Collin was taken aback, "Herman, when did you start liking these girly drinks?"
Collin never drank milkshakes.
Herman proudly answered, "My wife likes them."
He meant that he liked what his wife liked, a joy that those without a wife would not understand.
Collin fell silent.
Nelson was stifling his laughter.
Herman took a sip of the milkshake and asked seriously, "Nelson, how's the Ledford family doing?"
Nelson immediately wiped his smile, "Kenny has taken his son to find Anastasia. Do you want to check on them?"
What if the Ledford family continued to cause trouble?
"No need," Herman scoffed. "Kenny knows what to do."
