In Chapter 1008 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 1008 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
“I already had Mr. Taylor look into it. The case checks out—nothing to worry about,” Mr. Walker said. “Autumn, try not to think about anything else. Focus on your pregnancy. If you don’t need to go out, then don’t. Just stay home and take care of yourself.”
At this point, Mr. Walker wasn’t even thinking about any case—his only concern was the baby growing inside Autumn.
“But Julie’s case…” Autumn started, unwilling to let it drop.
“That’s enough, I know what I’m doing,” Mr. Walker said with a smile. “I trust Mr. Taylor. Julie admitted it herself, the evidence is all there—there’s nothing to overturn. Tell me, Autumn, are you so eager to reopen the case because you want to, or is this about that old classmate of yours?”
His words made Autumn falter, her confidence wavering. “I just want to be sure we’re not blaming the wrong person, that’s all. Devin only has one daughter. Maybe he’s just struggling to accept the truth.”
“The police will be fair and impartial. There won’t be any mistakes, Autumn, so stop worrying,” Mr. Walker insisted. “Get some rest. Tomorrow I’ll go with you for another check-up. That’ll make me feel better.”
“Okay.” Autumn didn’t dare mention Julie’s case again. Instead, she brought up the idea of adopting her cousin’s grandson. “Weren’t you saying we should bring Mika to Riverdale? When should we do that? He’s such a handful, and the doctor said I need to be on bed rest… Maybe we should wait?”
“Whatever you think is best,” Mr. Walker replied with a laugh. “You need to take care of yourself. Little Mika is a ball of energy—if he comes and keeps you up, I’ll just tell your cousin we’ll hold off for now.”
“Alright.” Autumn let it drop.
Honestly, she never liked her cousin’s grandkids much anyway. If they really moved to Riverdale, there’d be no end to the chaos.
She knew exactly what her cousin was after—seeing that she and Mr. Walker were childless, they wanted to get something out of it.
It wasn’t long before word of Autumn’s pregnancy reached Katelyn as well.
Nelson quickly got someone to pass the news to Devin, even hinting that the baby Autumn was carrying might actually be Devin’s.
The second Devin heard, he practically lost his mind with excitement. Having a kid at his age—especially with the mayor’s wife! It was the stuff of family legends.
Over the moon, Devin called Autumn immediately, but she was so freaked out she wouldn’t even pick up.
She hid at home, not daring to see him at all.
…
Anastasia hadn’t heard from Monica in days. On her way to see Rowan, she dialed Monica’s number.
“Monica, what happened after you left with Jason the other day? Did you two patch things up?”
