In Chapter 108 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 108 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.
Anastasia's serious face caught Gianna off guard, and she actually answered her.
"It's a high-end private kindergarten. The place is prime real estate and the rent is actually pretty cheap for that area."
"I see," Anastasia nodded, "It's not easy raising kids these days."
"Living costs in Riverdale are steep, and parents take education very seriously. Spending a little extra on kindergarten isn't a big deal to them. Many are willing to shell out tens, even hundreds of thousands to secure a good school."
Suddenly, Gianna realized that Anastasia had led her off topic and gave her a stern look.
But Anastasia seemed interested. Her expression seemed to say, "Go on."
"Anastasia, are you making fun of me on purpose?" Gianna grabbed a tissue and wiped her tears.
"Weren't you upset just now?" said Anastasia.
Gianna was distracted and not as upset and angry as before.
Feeling frustrated, Gianna sighed and wiped her tears once again, choosing to remain silent.
This time Anastasia behaved very kindly and asked, "What are you going to do if Joey doesn't divorce you?"
"Expose his dirty laundry," Gianna said, "He just got promoted to director, he wouldn't want a scandal. If he wants to keep his position, he'll have to give me back all the money he's spent on that woman."
Gianna spoke through gritted teeth.
Anastasia brought Gianna back to reality with a reality check, "Think about it, a hospital director's position or three properties, which would you choose?"
Gianna had a sudden realization. She was the only child in her family, and her family's properties were worth millions. There was no way Joey would give up such a big slice of the pie.
"That's why he doesn't want to divorce me," Gianna felt a chill down her spine, "He's so greedy, wanting the woman, the money, and my family's properties."
