After Pattie was taken away, Anastasia felt a gaping hole in her heart.
Salma comforted her. "That kid was never really ours. Don't sweat over it too much. I've observed Pattie's dad. He does care a lot for her."
"I'm just worried that Penny might hurt Pattie," Anastasia said. "Pattie's already that big and hasn't started school yet. That's a problem."
"Ana, you love kids so much, why don't you and your husband pop out one of your own? I can help take care of the baby. You guys aren't getting any younger, it's about time you had a kid."
Salma's words reminded Anastasia of the previous night. Herman had also mentioned wanting a child. Just then, the study door opened, Anastasia looked up and locked eyes with Herman.
She felt a knot in her stomach, as a sense of nervousness washed over her.
Salma chuckled. "Herman, why don't you take Ana out for a bit after you're done with your work? I need to run some errands." It was clear that she was making up an excuse to give them some alone time.
Herman offered. "I'll give you a lift."
"No need, I can just grab a cab," Salma said, slipping into her shoes and heading out.
Before Anastasia could get a word in, Salma was gone, leaving her alone with Herman. The house suddenly felt much quieter. Anastasia asked, "Do you have any plans for the afternoon?"
"I don't have anything in particular," Herman said, sitting next to Anastasia and wrapping an arm around her waist as he usually did. "Do you have any plans?"
Anastasia shook her head. The whole thing with Pattie had left her in low spirits.
"Leo didn't agree to us adopting Pattie."
"It's fine, let's just have our own child," Herman said, planting a soft kiss on her cheek, his tone seductive. That familiar feeling of affection was back, as well as the distance Anastasia had sensed was gone. She must have been overthinking.
Anastasia huffed. "It's still broad daylight, Herman. Don't you ever get tired?"
As he kissed her neck, then her earlobe, he said, "I don't get tired."
With that, Herman made his move. Realizing he was serious, Anastasia quickly said, "The curtains are still open…"
