The Bound Between Us

Chapter 45

Ms. Katelyn, how come you know so much about Herman’s childhood?” Anastasia asked with a puzzled expression.

Katelyn suddenly felt a surge of nervousness, realizing she had blabbered too much.

With an awkward laugh, Katelyn explained, “Oh, it’s all from chats I had with Herman’s mom. You know how it is when women get together, we just can’t stop yapping about our kids. That’s how I know so much”

“Ah, gotcha “Anastasia found the explanation reasonable.

Seizing the opportunity, Katelyn nudged, “Ana, you and Herman should think about having a kid of your own. Everything changes once you have a child, men tend to become more tied to the family, and feel more responsible.”

Considering she and Herman were still sleeping in separate rooms, Anastasia didn’t feel the rush to have a baby.

“Ms. Katelyn, I know you mean well, but we don’t want to rush things,” Anastasia replied.

Katelyn bluntly asked, “Are you two still sleeping in separate rooms?”

The question made Anastasia a bit awkward.

Holding Anastasia’s hand, Katelyn said with seriousness, Ana, Herman’s a good catch, you should hold onto him tight. Men of the Salstrom family are super loyal in marriage. As long as you and Herman are solid, you’ll have a good life ahead. I only see you as Herman’s wife.”
