Chapter 691

Herman had just shared his conversation with Katelyn with Anastasia.

Anastasia sighed, "You know, talking to her like that is only going to upset her. She's still our elder, and you were pretty harsh."

She also worried that Katelyn might think Anastasia was the one pushing Herman to speak that way.

"I'll keep an eye on the baby; you go talk to your mom," Anastasia said, setting aside the baby clothes she was folding, and went to find Katelyn.
