In Chapter 290 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 290 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.
The person standing at the door wasn't Herman, but Gianna.
Pattie hollered disappointedly into the living room, "Mom, it's Gianna."
Anastasia was also taken aback. Why on earth would Gianna drop by this late? She quickly got up and saw Gianna coming in with some stuff.
"Anastasia, I'm here to say thanks." Gianna brought with her fresh fruits and a high-end skincare set.
Although Anastasia had never used this brand, she had heard her colleagues discuss about it. At a gathering with her classmates, those girls were all showing off this skincare product. It was famous.
Gianna put all the skincare products and fruits on the table, saying, "I've caused you a lot of trouble because of my divorce. I feel really bad about it. These are for you, just a small token of my appreciation."
"Gianna, no need to be so formal. Take your stuff back, I won't accept it." Anastasia said, "If you keep doing this, I won't be able to help you anymore. Besides, I didn't really do much for you."
Anastasia was quite surprised. In the past, she and Gianna didn't see eye to eye, always trading barbs when they met. Now, things seemed so chummy out of the blue, and it still felt a bit strange to her.
She actually didn't want to meddle in Gianna's divorce. She had even reminded her mom not to interfere before.
"You have to accept." Gianna insisted, "If you don't, it means you're looking down on me."
"I really don't need this. I can't use it. I'll take the fruit, but you take the skincare products back." Anastasia, who didn't use these big brand skincare products, laughed and said, "This stuff is too pricey. I can't bear to buy it. Using it once doesn't make any difference; it's a waste. You take it back, and I'll keep the fruit."
Seeing Anastasia saying so, Gianna didn't persist anymore. She looked around the room and asked, "Hasn't your husband gotten off work yet?"
"No, he went to a business dinner. He might be late." Anastasia answered truthfully. This time she didn't invite Gianna to stay since last night was indeed a bit awkward.
Hearing that Herman hadn't come back yet, Gianna felt a bit let down. But she quickly covered it up, saying, "Alright then, I was just passing by. I'll head back now."
