In Chapter 268 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 268 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.
Seeing Mr. Slater's reaction, Nelson gave him a heads-up, "Mr. Slater, this isn't your first cooperation with Elysian Technologies. You should know everything about Mr. Salstrom's temperament." Nelson said, "Mr. Salstrom is head over heels for his wife. If there's any marital strife, he won't be able to pour his heart and soul into this collaboration."
Mr. Slater caught his drift immediately, "I didn't think that through. I've been a bit muddled. Thanks for the wake-up call."
"No need to thank me." Nelson said, "Let's just wait for him patiently."
With that, Mr. Slater didn't dare to raise a fuss anymore and waited patiently.
...
In the hotel room.
After a steamy sex session, Anastasia was so exhausted that her fingers felt like jelly. She didn't have the strength to move anymore. She shot a glance at Herman who was still as fresh as a daisy. "You're such a pervert." She said.
"Totally my bad. Take a good rest in the hotel today." Herman said gently, "I'll take you out for a walk tonight."
Anastasia sat up, saying, "I've got something to show you first."
In a marriage, it was better to clear the air and avoid misunderstandings. Anastasia showed Herman the photos on her phone, pulled a long face and said, "Explain this to me."
Herman took a quick peek at the photos and instantly got the picture. Instead of getting pissed at Anastasia for her midnight raid, he was thrilled, "You've driven over 200 miles from Riverdale just for these photos. I'm chuffed because it shows you care about me."
Who else would check on him in the middle of the night if they didn't care?
