The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 269 read online:
In Chapter 269 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 269 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 felt utterly wiped out and decided to stay put and rest in the hotel. While Herman, on the other hand, was all spiffed up and ready to step out.
On seeing Herman descending the stairs, Nelson quickly got up to greet him, “Mr. Salstrom.”
Mr. Slater also rose to welcome Herman.
Herman walked up to Mr. Slater. In stark contrast to his gentle demeanor towards Anastasia earlier, he now wore a frosty expression, “Mr. Slater, sorry to have kept you waiting.”
“No worries.” Mr. Slater replied with a smile, “Mr. Salstrom, our ride is waiting outside. Shall we hit the road?”
“Sure.” Herman headed towards the hotel exit, casually inquiring, “Where’s the lady you brought last night, Mr. Slater?”
Mr. Slater, fearing a blow-up from Herman, hastily explained, “Mr. Salstrom, are you referring to Crystal? She’s feeling not well today and took a day off. I apologize for any inconvenience we caused. I hope you understand.”
“There’s no need to get your knickers in a twist, Mr. Slater. I just want to ask her a few things.” Herman said, “Could you get her to come over?”
Unable to figure out what Herman was up to, Mr. Slater nevertheless agreed immediately, “Sure thing. I’ll call her over right away.” To him, throwing a woman under the bus was a small price to pay for securing a deal.
Herman instructed Nelson, “Treat her well when she gets here. We need to find out who is behind the scene.”
Nelson, clueless about the specifics, glanced at the visibly shaken Mr. Slater before responding, “Yes, Mr. Salstrom.”
……
After grabbing a bite, Anastasia slept once again and woke up at five in the afternoon. She had literally slept all day, completely flipping her regular schedule upside down.
She had been dead beat the previous night. Driving through the night and dealing with Herman's antics had drained her completely. After sleeping all day, Anastasia finally started to feel more like herself. She called her mom from the bed to check up on her and Pattie.
On the phone, Salma reassured her, “Pattie and I are just playing downstairs. We are doing fine at home, so don’t worry.”
“Okay.” Anastasia replied with a hint of worry, “Mom, please be careful since you have trouble walking. And watch Pattie’s diet too. I’m currently in Crescent Bay on a business trip with Herman and might not be back until tomorrow.”
Figuring there was no reason to beat around the bush, Anastasia decided to come clean. Making up excuses for not returning in a day or two would only make her mother worry.
