The Bound Between Us

Chapter 780

To some, Herman's behavior seemed a bit puzzling.

He said, "It might not be worth much, but it's important."

"Kid, you're just as peculiar as that woman from earlier," the stall owner remarked. "She was holding a pair of earrings, eyes all red and teary. I mean, what's there to cry about over some cheap earrings? Looked like she was searching for someone. Know her? Was she looking for you?"

Hearing this, Herman's heart skipped a beat. He quickly asked, "What did this woman look like? Do you know her name?"

"She was stunning, like something out of a fairytale," the stall owner replied earnestly. "So beautiful, no photo editing could do her justice, and she just naturally looked like that. Her name? No way I'd dare ask. Besides, she had a handsome guy with her. They seemed like a couple. Me trying to chat them up would just earn me a punch."

The stall owner had clearly mistaken Henry and Anastasia for a couple.

Herman glanced in the direction the stall owner indicated, thanked him, and set off.

The stall owner muttered to himself, "People these days, really all sorts."

Herman followed the stall owner's directions but didn't see anyone matching the description.

He scanned the street, his intuition telling him he'd been here before. The woman who took the cherry earrings might be someone he knew.
