Chapter 882

After dinner, Anastasia tugged Herman back to their room, leaving the kids in the

capable hands of the nanny.

She pulled a tiny chip from her pocket and handed it to him. "Can you check this

out for me? I honestly have no clue what's on it."

Herman turned the fingernail-sized chip over in his hands. "Where'd you get this?"

"Rowan gave it to me," Anastasia said. "He handed it over and then just...

disappeared. I haven't heard from him since."

Something flickered in Herman's eyes at the mention of Rowan. He felt a twist of

jealousy-sharp, a little sour-but he kept it cool, refusing to let it show.

He settled onto the sofa, acting unbothered. "So, is this what Rowan gave you at

the hotel last time?"

Anastasia shot him a surprised look. "How'd you know I met Rowan at a hotel?

Was it your mom?"

Nobody else could've told him-Dailey hadn't even seen Rowan that day.

Herman shrugged, playing it off. "Yeah, she mentioned it."

Anastasia grinned, catching on. "Just mentioned it, huh? Or did she say

something like, 'Your wife was alone in a hotel room with another man'? Did that
