In Chapter 154 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 154 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 could tell there was something bothering Herman, and there were some questions she didn't get the chance to ask under his warmth and affection.
When faced with some questions and missed the best time to ask your questions, you never got the chance to ask again.
By the time Anastasia woke up again, it was nearly noon. She glanced at the time. Thankful that it was Saturday and she didn't have to work, or else she would've been late.
Recalling Herman's madness in the wee hours, Anastasia blushed.
Herman was no longer in the room. She got dressed and went out, but Salma and Pattie were also gone. She heard noises from the study and went to open the door.
Herman was busy at the desk. Anastasia smiled and said, "I hope I'm not interrupting you. By the way, where are my mom and Pattie?"
"They're downstairs hanging out," Herman said. "There's food in the kitchen if you're hungry."
"Alright."
Anastasia could feel that Herman was somewhat different from before. He was still caring for her, but it felt like there was less warmth.
"About last night..."
"I worked late last night." Herman seemed to see through Anastasia's thoughts and said, "I still have some things to do. When I'm done, I'll take you guys out for fun in the afternoon."
"Alright, you do your thing." Anastasia gently closed the door. Her heart filled with an indescribable feeling. Was she overthinking?
Feeling hungry, Anastasia went to the kitchen to grab some food. After eating, she went downstairs to find Salma and Pattie.
As she entered the elevator, she got a call from Salma. "Ana, Pattie's dad is here, and he wants to take her away. We're at the playground downstairs."
Upon receiving the call, Anastasia rushed over.
