The Bound Between Us

Chapter 194

Herman and Pattie were often seen together and are frequently mistaken for father and daughter because they had similar smiles.

Herman chuckled. “Pattie’s been eating well at school. She’s got a bit of fat on her cheeks now, and she looks so adorable when she smiles. She’s gonna be a real looker when she grows up.”

Anastasia, propped up on one elbow, watched the video with anticipation and said, “Such a sweet and adorable girl. Herman, we should have a daughter too someday.”

“…Okay.” Seeing the joy in Anastasia’s face, Herman felt a pang of sadness. He could foresee the disappointment that was to come. Anastasia regretfully said, “Leo won’t let us adopt Pattie. Otherwise, she could live with us. I really love that kid.”
