The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 332

Herman was capable of having children, so why did he claim otherwise? It was a mystery, indeed.

Collin said, "Why would I deceive you? What's Herman’s game though? The Salstrom family is well-established. Doesn’t he want an heir?"

Flynn was not interested in running the family business. All he wanted was to live a privileged life, living off his inheritance without a care in the world. If it hadn't been for Herman forcing him to become the vice president of the company, he would never have set foot in the office, let alone consider taking over the business.

Flynn also began to ponder, "Yeah, why would my older brother claim he can't have children? Doesn't he want a child with Anastasia? If these two combined their genes, their child would undoubtedly be stunning."

Both men were trying to understand Herman's intentions when a sudden realization dawned on them. They locked eyes, and a shared shock reflected in their gaze. They weren't fools, and with a bit of thought, they could piece together the puzzle.

It wasn't Herman who was infertile, but Anastasia. This was a big deal. If Anastasia couldn't bear children, it would end Herman's lineage.

Collin remarked, "Herman must really be smitten to tell such a big lie for Anastasia."

Flynn was equally astonished, "If our parents found out, it would definitely cause a stir."

Anastasia was Katelyn’s ideal daughter-in-law, but if it was revealed that she couldn't bear children, things might change.

Collin quickly interjected, "Flynn, don't you dare spill that it was me who figured it out. This can't get out."

"Of course, it can't." Flynn agreed, "My older brother is head over heels for Anastasia. If I let this slip, he would kill me."

The two men decided to keep the secret to themselves, pretending they were none the wiser. But unbeknownst to them, their conversation had been overheard by Julie, who had come to the office to find Herman.

Anastasia's inability to bear children was good news for her. In high society, a family would never accept an infertile daughter-in-law. Each daughter-in-law was expected to bear several children to strengthen the family's position. Julie was thrilled by the news. She decided not to look for Herman and quietly left the office.

The night before the annual gala. Anastasia was at home, choosing her dress. Herman had sent her several photos of different dresses, and she was having trouble making a decision.
