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 51 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 eyeing Herman, who as a man, totally got the way guys think.
Did Herman think the same way?
Being stared at by Anastasia like this, Herman knew what was on her mind.
While waiting for the traffic light, Herman patted Anastasia's head gently, saying, "Don't overthink, not all guys are like that."
Caught in the act, Anastasia was a bit embarrassed, but she got straight to the point, "I can't stand you lying to me, Herman. If you ever want to call it quits, just tell me straight up, I'll understand. Just don't keep me in the dark like some fool."
She could handle Herman falling for someone else, but she couldn't handle being deceived.
She hoped their marriage would only involve two people, without any third wheel showing up.
If that day ever came, she hoped Herman would be upfront about it, so they could split peacefully and move on to their next relationships or marriages.
Herman stared at her for a moment with his deep eyes, saying, "Alright."
His response left Anastasia with a weird feeling.
Aren't people supposed to promise that day will never come?
Herman was just too straightforward, guess people prefer sweet talk after all.
Anastasia didn't say anything and turned to look out of the window, feeling a bit emotional.
Herman noticed her reaction, reached out and held Anastasia's hand, pressing it against his palm.
This intimate gesture made Anastasia's heart race and she turned to look at him abruptly.
He was looking straight ahead, a smile playing on his lips, but he didn't say anything. He just held her hand tighter.
Anastasia found that Herman was quite good at making her heart flutter.
Her uneasiness from earlier was gone and her mood improved a bit.
Soon, the car stopped in front of a restaurant. Herman went to park the car while Anastasia waited for him at the entrance.
Then Salma called, just as Herman had predicted, Gianna and Joey hadn’t split just yet.
The mistress was using the baby in her belly as leverage. Plus, the mistress' daughter also had inheritance rights. If Gianna and Joey divorced, there would be problems splitting the assets.
