Anastasia shot Herman a smile and said modestly, “He only knows how to cook simple dishes. You guys start eating. I’m gonna go next door to check if the kiddo is up yet. I gotta head to school later.”

Just as Anastasia was about to stand up, Herman said, “I’ll go. You guys eat.” Without Anastasia present, sitting down to eat with Gianna made him feel somewhat

uncomfortable.

Anastasia didn’t think much of it and said, “Then bring her clothes over there. Get her dressed before bringing her back, so she won’t catch a cold.”

I’ve been with Joey for so many years, and he even needs me to find his own clothes and socks. If I’m not at home, he’ll just call his mom.”
