In Chapter 344 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 344 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 was ravenous, yet she had no desire for any kind of food. Even the smell of strong flavors caused a nauseous sensation, making her want to vomit. Anastasia attributed it to her nerves, telling Herman, "I need to find a place to rest."
"Sure." Herman led Anastasia to a rest area.
After sitting down, Anastasia still felt a bit queasy, "I need some lemonade." For some reason, she craved something tart, as if her stomach was still feeling greasy.
"Okay, I'll get it for you." Herman went to the beverages area to fetch the lemonade.
Anastasia took out her phone from her purse to call Salma. She hadn't seen Salma and Pattie after stepping off the stage, which made her worried. After the call, she learned that Salma had taken Pattie to the restroom, and Anastasia felt relieved.
Just as she ended the call, Lauren and other socialites she had met at the reception came over.
"Mrs. Salstrom, you were absolutely stunning today." These socialites had sharp eyes, and they no longer dared to call her by her first name.
"I'm telling you, even as a woman, I was absolutely captivated by Mrs. Salstrom."
"Mr. Salstrom is truly a lucky man."
Lauren joked with a smile, "Anastasia, I always told you to win Herman over, so I could admire him more often. But you were faster than I expected, and you've already won him over."
Anastasia laughed, "You knew about it all along and didn't tell me. Just call me Anastasia. Mrs. Salstrom sounds so formal. I'd be even more nervous."
Everyone knew about it, except for her.
When the topic came up, it reminded Anastasia of Monica. She was still at the reception when Anastasia took the stage, but she was nowhere to be found now. The banquet hall was so large that it was difficult to spot someone among hundreds of people.
As they were talking, Herman arrived with the lemonade, "Anastasia."
As soon as Herman arrived, the beauties quickly made room for him to sit next to Anastasia.
After taking a sip of the lemonade, Anastasia felt much better. Lauren casually commented, "Anastasia, aren't you finding this lemonade too tangy?"
Earlier, Lauren had tried the lemonade and found it extremely sour. She felt like it would even induce a need to urinate.
