The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 101

Herman frowned, and Collin added, "If the girl is a stunner, I'm worried she might pop up any moment like a ticking time bomb."

"I'm a married man now," Herman clarified. "I don't remember anything from that night, and even if something did happen, I only have one wife."

This piqued Collin's curiosity, and he asked, "What's your wife like that you're so devoted?"

Herman smiled and said, "She's like a fairy."

Collin joked, "Man, love really does change people. You’re all mushy and romantic."

On his way to work, Herman had comprehended the matter of Anastasia's purity.

Over the month, he had realized that he had grown accustomed to Anastasia's presence. He was ready to accept her past and embrace her future.

At that moment, Nelson walked in with a milkshake and said, "Mr. Salstrom, your takeout."

Herman responded softly as Nelson carefully placed the milkshake on the table.

Collin was taken aback, "Herman, when did you start liking these girly drinks?"

Collin never drank milkshakes.

Herman proudly answered, "My wife likes them."

He meant that he liked what his wife liked, a joy that those without a wife would not understand.

Collin fell silent.

Nelson was stifling his laughter.

Herman took a sip of the milkshake and asked seriously, "Nelson, how's the Ledford family doing?"

Nelson immediately wiped his smile, "Kenny has taken his son to find Anastasia. Do you want to check on them?"

What if the Ledford family continued to cause trouble?

"No need," Herman scoffed. "Kenny knows what to do."

Annoyed, Collin quickly went after Herman, saying, "Where do you get your milkshakes? I'll get my own."

Meanwhile, Anastasia, clutching her personal belongings, had just walked downstairs when she ran into Blake and Kenny, who had come to apologize.

Blake couldn't walk, so Kenny had him carried.

The Ledford family's driver, assistant, and bodyguards carrying Blake made for quite the entourage.

Kenny seemed anxious, knowing that every minute was money and a slight delay could result in a significant stock decline.

However, to Anastasia, Kenny's anxiety felt like oppression.

Seeing Blake being carried over, she tensed up, thinking they were there to hold her accountable.

Blake pointed at Anastasia and said, "Dad, that's Anastasia."

Kenny's gaze locked onto Anastasia as he ordered his bodyguards to take Blake towards her, and he quickly approached Anastasia.
