Chapter 122 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, hand in hand with Anastasia, reassured her as he led her to the door of the private room.
Anastasia glanced at the name on the door: "Orchid Pavilion".
All the private rooms here were named after flowers.
Herman opened the door, and a strong classical flavor hit them, along with a table full of delicious food.
The meal was pre-arranged by Herman and Collin so that Anastasia could start enjoying it the moment she arrived, no waiting necessary.
All the dishes were prepared according to Anastasia's taste.
Collin, surprised to see Herman bringing Anastasia, stood up: "Herman, your wife is even more beautiful than in photos. Hello, I'm Collin, Herman's friend, nice to meet you."
Seeing Anastasia, Collin finally understood why Herman was so into her.
She was so beautiful and radiant that anyone would be eager to marry her, including himself.
Anastasia, in her custom-made lace dress paired with a vest, looked lively and cute. With her delicate features and creamy skin, she looked like a heroine straight out of a comic book.
Collin reached out to shake hands with Anastasia. Just when she was about to extend her hand, Herman beat her to it and shook Collin's hand, introducing: "This is my wife, Anastasia."
Straight to the point.
Collin pulled back his hand in mock exaggeration: "Herman, you're too possessive. I was just going to shake hands with your wife, and you got all jealous. We're friends, man, no big deal."
Anastasia chuckled, noticing Herman's strong possessiveness.
Herman stated seriously: "Only I can hold my wife's hand."
Nobody else was allowed to touch.
"Preferring love over friendship, huh?" Collin teased and then pulled out a chair for Anastasia to sit.
Herman had already pulled out the chair next to him, he wanted to take care of his wife personally.
Collin Was speechless, and he had nothing to say to that.
Anastasia chose to sit on the chair that Herman had pulled out for her and said to Collin: "That's just how Herman is, he gets easily jealous. Don't mind him."
