In Chapter 130 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 130 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 let out a soft breath, took a look around her home, and said, "He doesn't have a mistress, but he does have a house."
At that, Monica laughed. "I thought it was some big issue. Just a house? That's a good thing."
Considering Herman's wealth, a house, or even several buildings, wouldn't be surprising.
Anastasia shook her head, "The roof of the house was leaking this morning. It was when the downstairs neighbor came knocking, and I went to the property management that I found out the house was registered under Herman's name. He initially told me he didn't have a house. What's the deal now? This is a house worth tens of millions. Is he hiding his property from me, fearing I'd covet his house?"
Anastasia was quite pissed off talking about it.
Monica thought it was some big issue, not expecting Anastasia getting upset over a house. If she knew Herman was a billionaire, wouldn't she just divorce him right away?
"Ana, don't be too extreme about this," Monica advised. "Think about it. The house is Herman's. You guys met through matchmaking. It's normal for him to be cautious at first. There probably weren’t any other ill intentions."
"Even so, he can't just lie to people. I called him just now, asking about the rent, and he's still lying to me." Anastasia was fuming. "Monica, it's a matter of trust between a husband and wife. If he doesn't trust me, that means he doesn't consider me family."
"Oh, come on, Ana, don't be so sensitive..."
Anastasia cut her off. "Monica, why are you always defending Herman? You just found out the house worth over ten million is his, aren't you the least bit surprised?"
Monica, trying not to give herself away, answered with a laugh. "You guys are already married, legally husband and wife. Do you want me to advise you to divorce him? Over a house? That's a bit much. You're just angry he deceived you, but there's good deception and bad deception. Now that you have a house, things are much easier, aren't they?"
Monica was a bit nervous, worried Anastasia would see through her. As Anastasia was staring at her, Monica, with shifty eyes, said, "I think it's a good thing. I only want to ask you, how is Herman to you? Do you like him?" Monica changed the topic.
Anastasia knew very well that she liked Herman, otherwise, she wouldn't be this angry. Seeing Anastasia not responding, Monica added, "Your anger is because you care about him. A house got you this upset. If your husband turns out to be a hidden billionaire, would you just dump him, and give him up?"
