In Chapter 216 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 216 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.
Though Herman's tone was frosty, it had a commanding undertone. Monica was unable to resist and had no choice but to send Herman the address.
Forty minutes later, the doorbell rang.
Herman appeared at the door, asking, "Where's Anastasia?"
"She's asleep in her room. You think I'd whisk Anastasia away or somehow negatively influence her? You're wound up tight." Monica was somewhat scared of Herman.
Herman stepped into the room and relaxed a bit when he saw that Anastasia was sound asleep.
Softly exiting the room, Herman remarked, "She's been a bit off today. You're her best friend. You need to comfort her. Otherwise, she might get all twisted up."
Monica eyed Herman, his words giving her the impression that he knew something.
"You seem to know Anastasia quite well." Monica said with a laugh, "Don't worry. Anastasia and I are tight. Her problems are my problems. She's probably just upset about Salma getting injured, nothing else."
Monica said this to prevent Herman from getting suspicious.
Herman naturally didn't believe Monica's words, but chose not to press the matter.
"It's late and Anastasia's asleep. If you're worried, I can give you the master bedroom." Monica said.
"Sure, thanks." Herman accepted without hesitation.
Monica was just being polite, but Herman actually took her up on the offer.
