Chapter 157 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.
When Monday rolled around, Anastasia had been kept up so late the night before that by the time she woke up, it was already past eight in the morning.
She was going to be late.
Anastasia rushed through her morning routine and scolded Herman. "What were you doing keeping me up so late last night? I'm going to be late now. And you turned off my alarm!"
"I thought you looked tired, so I let you sleep in a bit." Herman handed Anastasia a glass of milk, "You'll have to drive to work today. I have a social event tonight and probably won't be able to pick you up."
Anastasia grabbed the milk and downed it quickly. "Driving myself is actually more convenient. Every time you come to pick me up, my colleagues tease me."
She couldn't always rely on Herman to pick her up after work. They had a spare car at home, and it was a waste not to use it.
Just as Anastasia was about to put on her shoes and leave, Herman grabbed her arm and leaned in. Anastasia got the hint and smiled as she pecked his cheek. "I need to go to work now. Otherwise I'll be late."
"That's not enough."
Herman pulled Anastasia into his arms and kissed her. It was a long, romantic kiss that left Anastasia a bit dazed. After a while, he let go of her and kindly handed her handbag.
"You can go to work now."
Anastasia gave Herman a disgruntled look before rushing out the door. She took the elevator down to the underground car park and drove out of their apartment complex.
At the entrance of the complex, Anastasia happened to see Penny pushing a stroller and Pattie coming back from outside with two large bags of vegetables. Pattie was clearly struggling with the heavy load, and Penny was impatiently urging her on.
Seeing Pattie's small body bearing such a heavy burden, Anastasia felt a pang of sympathy. Just as she was about to call out to Pattie, Penny spotted her and quickly pulled Pattie away. "I'm going to make you some steak today, so don't run around. People are complicated; some who seem kind actually have bad intentions. They can deceive children like you..."
Anastasia was speechless. It was clear that Penny's words were directed at her.
Cars behind her started honking for her to move, so Anastasia had no choice but to drive on.
About fifty meters out of the complex, she saw a Rolls Royce.
How extravagant.
