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.
When Anastasia found out Katelyn bought the house next door just because she was lonely and wanted to keep her company, she was gobsmacked.
In the midst of their chitchat, the movers had already moved all the furniture into the new house. So, Katelyn invited Anastasia to have a peek.
Feeling too awkward to decline, Anastasia said, "Ms. Katelyn, I need to drop off these groceries at my house first."
Anastasia had bought a ton of ingredients and a huge watermelon. After she put the groceries away, she cut half of the watermelon for Katelyn.
Katelyn was on the phone in the new house, calling the housekeeper to come over and clean up. Anastasia stood behind Katelyn, not wanting to disturb her, just listening quietly to her conversation.
After Katelyn ended her call, Anastasia curiously asked, "Ms. Katelyn, does your family know about you buying a house?"
In Anastasia's book, buying a house was a big deal that needed to be discussed with family.
Katelyn just waved her hand with a smile, "No biggie, it's just a house. I bought it on a whim, I don’t need to inform them."
Anastasia thought about the diamond bracelet Katelyn had given her before, which was quite a fortune.
She knew Katelyn was loaded but didn't realize how loaded she was.
Anastasia smiled and said, "Ms. Katelyn, I just bought a watermelon, this is half for you."
"Thanks." Katelyn chuckled and accepted it, then handed Anastasia a key, "This is a spare key to my house, keep one. In case one day I have a brain fart and forget my key, you can help me out."
Actually, Katelyn was mainly looking to get closer to Anastasia.
With such an excuse, Anastasia had no reason to refuse, she could only take the key.
Anastasia hesitated for a moment, then said, "Alright, I'll keep this spare key safe. Ms. Katelyn, I bought some ingredients, do you want to come over for dinner tonight?"
"Sure thing." Katelyn replied without missing a beat, "I can help you cook dinner."
Katelyn was extremely enthusiastic, and Anastasia felt bad letting her prep the meal alone, so they both got busy in the kitchen.
As Anastasia was washing the cilantro, Katelyn mentioned, "Herman can't eat cilantro."
"Really?" Anastasia had no idea.
