The Bound Between Us

Chapter 156

After Pattie was taken away, Anastasia felt a gaping hole in her heart.

Salma comforted her. “That kid was never really ours. Don’t sweat over it too much. I’ve observed Pattie’s dad. He does care a lot for her.”

“I’m just worried that Penny might hurt Pattie,” Anastasia said. “Pattie’s already that big and hasn’t started school yet. That’s a problem.”

“Ana, you love kids so much, why don’t you and your husband pop out one of your own? I can help take care of the baby. You guys aren’t getting any younger, it’s about time you had a kid.”

Salma’s words reminded Anastasia of the previous night. Herman had also mentioned wanting a child. Just then, the study door opened, Anastasia looked up and locked eyes with Herman.

She felt a knot in her stomach, as a sense of nervousness washed over her.

Salma chuckled. “Herman, why don’t you take Ana out for a bit after you’re done with your work? I need to run some errands.” It was clear that she was making up an excuse to give them some alone time.

Herman offered. “I’ll give you a lift.”
