The Bound Between Us

Chapter 331

No wonder Gianna was taken aback. Anyone would be in disbeliet if they were in her shoes.

Anyone

Anastasia chuckled, “I’m not joking, it’s just that Herman has kept it a secret for so long. I only just found out.”

Gianna struggled to digest the news. Herman was not only handsome and warm-hearted, but also a billionaire tycoon?

Gianna gazed at Anastasia, her feelings of envy could no longer be expressed in words. Her own marriage of eight years had fallen apart while Anastasia had married a billionaire. She thought she could offer her own coffee shop to Anastasia as a partnership to make their relationship closer, and as a kind way to compensate for their past differences. But now, in the face of the Salstrom family’s wealth, such a gesture seemed insignificant.

Gianna’s real motive was to get closer to Herman, hoping to leave a good impression on him by bringing Anastasia into the partnership. But after hearing Anastasia’s words, Gianna realized the vast distance that lay between her and Herman.

Anastasia waved her hand in front of Gianna, saying, “Gianna? I really appreciate your kindness. If you ever need anything, don’t hesitate to ask. I’ll help in any way I can.” Gianna’s offer to let her join the coffee shop was not for profit, but to help her earn more and live a better life. Anastasia was touched by this gesture.

Gianna awkwardly said, “Okay, let’s order. How about calling your husband to join us?”

Anastasia replied, “I’ve texted him. He’s busy now, but he’ll come pick me up later.”

“Okay.” The thought of Herman arriving later brought a spark of joy to Gianna’s heart

Gianna knew that she shouldn’t be thinking about Hermán, or let her mind wander to other thoughts, but she couldn’t help it. Because of Herman, Gianna was now even more repulsed by Joey. She was even more eager to divorce Joey, regardless of the cost.

Gianna ordered a few dishes, and they chatted while they ate. Anastasia asked, “How are you planning to handle your divorce?”

“Let’s not talk about those awful things today. Even if you don’t join the coffee shop, you can still help me out with some ideas. You’re a designer, so you can help me with the interior design or the name of the coffee shop. I’m not really familiar with these things.”

Gianna was eager for the coffee shop to open. She wanted to be independent and start her own business. Just now, she suddenly realized that to attract someone as outstanding as Herman, she needed to be more outstanding herself.
