The Bound Between Us

Chapter 94

Only two people were left in the room, Anastasia looked at Herman as her eyes unconsciously welled up with tears.

“Herman.” Anastasia’s voice trembled slightly She felt like she had brought a lot of trouble to Herman.

In a short amount of time, Herman had already gotten into two fights for her.

“It’s okay” Herman simply smiled and asked, “Have you eaten dinner yet?”

“Yeah, Ms. Katelyn prepared some food for me” Anastasia didn’t really have much of an appetite and didn’t eat much.

“It’s getting late, you should get some rest. “Herman suggested, “Take the day off tomorrow and just chill at home.”

Taking a day off so soon after starting a new job wouldn’t be appropriate.

And how could she stay at home peacefully after causing such a big commotion?

Anastasia got up and suddenly hugged Herman, asking him, “Can I move into your room?”

Anastasias request surprised Herman, but then he understood her intentions. He said, Anastasia, protecting you is my duty as your husband.”

He didn’t need her to throw herself into his arms out of gratitude.

“But since we’re married, we should share a bed, right?” She clung to him tightly.

Herman looked at Anastasia, who was holding onto him tightly, and lovingly patted her on the head. “Sure.”

Anastasia was mentally prepared. She was ready to become Hermans real wife.

She had set her heart on this man for life, not out of gratitude, but because she had truly fallen in love with him.

When she worried about him, she clearly realized that she was deeply in love with him.

But she was more than willing.

She might never meet another man like Herman in her life. She didn’t want to have any regrets or waste another second.

However, that night, Herman just held her in his arms to sleep, not doing anything more.

The two of them slept under the same blarket, simply holding each other.

She could clearly feel his body reacting, but he remained still and didn’t take the next step

Anastasia thought maybe Herman was too tired or maybe the events of the right had affected his mood, so she slowly relaxed.

She snuggled into his arms, laying her head on his hand as she fell asleep.

-Herman was somewhat frustrated, but he was worried that Anastasia might regret her decision once the heat of the moment had passed.

He held back, holding her hand tightly as he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

In reality, neither of them slept well that night. Anastasia was nervous; thinking about the possibility of the Ledford family showing up at their door in the morning made her anxious.

And Herman couldn’t sleep because Anastasia was in his arms.

As dawn broke, Herman got up first to take a cold shower. Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

Anastasia also got up. Her mind was a mess as she sat on the bed.

Did Harman prefer to take a shower rather than touch her?

Just then, Salma Jewell called, and Anastasia answered, “Mom, it’s pretty early. What’s up?”

“I just wanted to check in on you and see how you’re doing. When will you be able to come home for a visit? A neighbor gave us some local specialties You can come and get them, or I can bring them to you”

“Mom, we’re doing well. Ill come get them when I have time.” Anastasia didnt want Salma to know about the problems they were facing. If the Ledford family found out and let Salma know, she would worry

“Alright, I’ll keep them for you” Salma said with a laugh, 1ll give some to your aunt. She’s been in a bad mood lately: Glanna Edmunds is still considering the divorce

“Okay Mom, take care of yourself. And as for Glanna’s issue, like I said before, don’t get involved”

Family matters were always complicated. Whether Gianna and Joey Edmunds could maintain their marriage or not, whatever Salma said wrong during this time might be remembered for a lifetime.

1 know”

After hanging up the phone, Herman came out of the bathroom just in time. Anastasia originally thought he would come out in a towel, but he came out in neat clothes, not giving her any opportunity to seduce him.

Anastasia sat on the bed, watching Herman.

Herman touched his face, What’s up? Did I not wash my face properly?”

Anastasia gathered her courage and asked, “Herman, why would you rather endure all night than touch me?”

After hearing this, Herman laughed. He sat down on the bed, reached for her hand, and was about to explain when Anastasia asked again, “Do you have

some kind of disease?”

Herman was speechless.
