The Bound Between Us

Chapter 914

Not long after Herman finished his call with Dailey, someone knocked on the study door.

"Come in," he said, his voice cool and even.

Tavon stepped inside, holding up two bottles of whiskey. "Hey, son-in-law, want a drink?"

It was barely morning. Herman didn't usually touch alcohol this early. He eyed Tavon. "Is something up?"

Tavon dropped into a chair with a heavy sigh. "Ana just can't snap out of it. Honestly, I don't even have the energy to do much these days. And Herman, I keep thinking about it... This is on you."

Truth was, Tavon had already had a couple of drinks before coming over-he needed the courage. He wanted to get ahead of things, afraid that once all this blew over, Herman would come up with some excuse to walk out on Anastasia.

He was here to stand up for his daughter.

Herman just folded his hands on the desk, expression unreadable, waiting for Tavon to finish.

Tavon took a breath and dove in. "Come on, just admit it-Ana's gone through so much, all because of you. She's always been a good girl, never caused trouble for anyone, but ever since she married you, people have been out to get her. She's suffered a lot, hasn't she?"
