In Chapter 228 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 228 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 once had high hopes for her marriage. She'd even planned to have two kids with Herman, a boy, and a girl, and they'd live the perfect family life. On weekdays, the kids would be at school, and they'd be at work. Then on weekends, they'd go for family outings, and would take walks in the park after dinner.
Anastasia liked this peaceful life, and she'd leave the kids' education to Herman because she was worried her temper would affect their relationship. She wanted their son to learn Taekwondo, and their daughter to learn dance and painting. Anastasia had planned their family life up until the kids went to college. But now, all these dreams were shattered because she was diagnosed as infertile, and an incident five years ago broke everything.
"Anastasia, you can tell me anything that bothers you.” Herman’s voice pulled Anastasia back from her thoughts.
She forced a smile and said, “Indeed, there are some things. I just haven’t figured out how to tell you. Can you give me some more time?” Her response was also to prepare Herman mentally, while also giving herself some time.
Herman had a hunch about what Anastasia wanted to say. For some things, she needed to deal with and get over by herself.
"Okay,” Herman said with a smile. "I'll wait for you, but I hope you can let go of some negative thoughts because I'm ready to spend the rest of my life with you.” His words subtly suggested that she could have other thoughts, but divorce or breakup was totally out of the question.
Hearing this, Anastasia almost lost control of her emotions and almost burst into tears. She quickly lowered her head, not wanting Herman to see the tears in the corners of her eyes.
To respect her feelings and dignity, Herman deliberately turned his gaze elsewhere. Anastasia took the opportunity to wipe away the tears when Herman turned around.
After dinner, they didn't drive home because it wasn't far. Herman held her hand as they walked home together.
Along the way, they chatted casually. When they passed the sixth building, Anastasia subconsciously looked up. "I wonder if Pattie has gone to bed."
The lights in room 802 were off. It was past nine in the evening, so Pattie should have been asleep already. Every time she thought of Pattie, Anastasia would think of the daughter she had never met. If her daughter was with her, she would be about Pattie's age now.
