In Chapter 270 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 270 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.
Tavon sought out Salma, and from the get-go, his intentions weren't exactly pure as the driven snow. Ashley had already put her foot down, demanding that Salma and Anastasia be lured to Willowbrook ASAP.
Tavon took Salma and Pattie to McDonald's, ordered a burger for Pattie and with great enthusiasm, poured Salma a cup of milk from a meal deal.
Salma sneezed and Tavon promptly whipped off his jacket and draped it over her, saying, "Salma, it's getting chilly in Riverdale. You gotta watch out for your health. Keep warm next time you're out."
Tavon's actions were indeed attention-grabbing. Even though he was over fifty, he was still a looker, dressed sharp and exuding a masculine charm. With a watch and designer clothes worth a small fortune, his vibe was off the charts.
Salma was a bit flustered, "Thanks."
Tavon laughed it off, "No need for formalities."
Then he turned to Pattie, "Pattie, eat up. I'll buy you more if that's not enough."
Pattie wasn't too keen on Tavon. Kids were sharp; they could sniff out a phony from a mile away. Pattie stayed silent and just quietly munched on her fries.
Tavon laid it on thick with Salma, "Salma, my vineyard's not doing so hot lately, and it's been a real headache. I can't stick around Riverdale much longer. I'll be heading back to Willowbrook in a few days. Have you and Ana thought about coming with me?"
"Uh…" Salma stuttered, "Ana's not home. I haven't mentioned this to her yet."
"Well, you better get on it. You know the Morton family values blood ties. I've already told the family I want to acknowledge Ana as my daughter, have her return to her roots." Tavon added, "The date's already set, and it’s the third of next month. It's a good date."
Seeing Tavon's regard for Anastasia, Salma felt reassured. She replied, "I'll talk to Ana once she's back tomorrow."
