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 74 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 a little puzzled, wondering if Herman's parents were already dead.
While she was deep in thought, Herman noticed her from inside the car. He spoke into his phone, "Auntie, let's leave it at that. Anastasia and I are heading home now."
After he hung up, Herman asked, "How come you're out so soon?"
"My colleague and her baby need their rest. I didn't want to be a bother," Anastasia said as she got into the car. She asked, "Was that Ms. Katelyn on the phone just now?"
"Yeah, she cooked up a storm at home and wanted to know when we'll be back for dinner," Herman responded as he started the car and headed for Harmony Meadows.
Did I hear that right? Anastasia was a little confused.
She said, "Herman, I think Ms. Katelyn is really too good to us. Even a real mother might not go to these lengths."
Herman replied, "She likes company. She gets bored when she's home alone, so she keeps herself busy."
"Does she only have your cousin as a son?" Anastasia asked. "If so, why doesn't she live with him instead of buying a house next door to us? Isn't that a bit extravagant?"
"She's not short of cash," Herman said in a low voice. "When you get old, loneliness is the real fear. Ms. Katelyn likes you, and that's fate. Having her around the house will be a great help to us, especially when we have kids. She can help take care of them."
Today, it seemed impossible to avoid the topic.
Herman had mentioned having kids more than once recently.
Previously, when Monica and Katelyn urged him to have children, he appeared nonchalant. But now he had completely changed his tune.
Thinking about Alessia's mother-in-law's attitude, Anastasia said, "My colleague and her mother-in-law just had a fight over whether the baby should be breastfed or bottle-fed. I think it's hard for modern women. We have to take care of the family and be financially independent. Herman, if we have a baby, will we face the same problems?"
Society promotes breastfeeding while expecting women to be financially independent.
