The Bound Between Us

Chapter 771

Sandy had set up dinner at this cozy little spot called "The Cozy Kitchen." Before heading out, she swung by her mom Ashley's place to give her a heads-up and make sure she didn't accidentally spill the beans.

When Ashley got the news, she froze like a deer in headlights. She had no idea Sandy had been keeping Herman, a whole person, under wraps!

This was playing with fire. One slip-up, and it could all blow up.

Ashley was on edge, just like Sean had been. Nervous.

But Sandy? She only saw the benefits, the wealth, and how Herman could boost her pride and ambition.

Shaking, Ashley said, "Sandy, I don't know if I can meet him. I'm scared. This is Herman we're talking about. What if he remembers everything?"

"Mom, why are you so worried? He doesn't remember anything, right? He just wants to meet you guys. Just think of him as Nicholas's son, okay?" Sandy reassured her, holding Ashley's arm. "Mom, my happiness is in your hands. Salma took your husband, and now I'm taking Anastasia's. Isn't that just fair?"

Sandy sure knew how to twist things. Ashley's unresolved feelings were all tangled up in Tavon and Salma's messy past.
