The Bound Between Us

Chapter 768

Rowan kept his eyes on Anastasia for a moment longer before finally looking away. "Nope, didn't see Herman when I was in Springfield," he said, casually shrugging it off.

He wasn't lying, but whether Anastasia believed him or not was up to her.

"So why are you tailing me?" Anastasia asked, still trying to make sense of it all. "What is it that you and Asher want from me?"

Rowan hesitated, not quite ready to admit he had nowhere else to go. In a world where nobody truly cared about him, Anastasia was the only one who'd shown him any real kindness.

To Asher, he was just a pawn.

"It was just a coincidence," Rowan finally said. "Don't worry, I'm not here to hurt you. If I had any bad intentions, you wouldn't have made it back from Springfield."

He was being honest, but that only made Anastasia more confused about his motives.
