The Bound Between Us

Chapter 954

Scott's promise tonight was the biggest olive branch he could've offered.

Three wishes. No expiration date.

That meant Pattie basically had the Stranz family on speed dial. As long as she didn't ask them to do anything illegal or outrageous, Scott would say yes-no questions asked.

Those three wishes ended up being her greatest shield, even years later.

Pattie didn't bother checking with her parents. She just nodded.

This was the Stranz family's way of making things right. If she'd gone to ask her parents first and then agreed, everyone would've thought the adults put her up to it. And honestly, with a deal this sweet, you'd be a fool to say no.

Now, if Layna ever started up her nonsense again, Pattie could just let the Stranz family handle it.

Seeing Pattie agree, Scott finally relaxed. As long as Pattie was okay, everything else would fall into place.

Herman turned to Anastasia. "Take Pattie, get that bump on her forehead checked, and find her something clean to wear."

Pattie's dress was wrecked from the fight-no way she could be seen like that.

She'd mostly come out unscathed, except for the swelling on her forehead where Juliana had shoved her.

Anastasia got the message and led Pattie out by the hand.

Scott seized the moment. "Mr. Salstrom, let's step out and talk."

With Pattie soothed, Herman still needed to cool off. Scott was smooth and smart
