The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 268

Seeing Mr. Slater's reaction, Nelson gave him a heads-up, "Mr. Slater, this isn't your first cooperation with Elysian Technologies. You should know everything about Mr. Salstrom's temperament." Nelson said, "Mr. Salstrom is head over heels for his wife. If there's any marital strife, he won't be able to pour his heart and soul into this collaboration."

Mr. Slater caught his drift immediately, "I didn't think that through. I've been a bit muddled. Thanks for the wake-up call."

"No need to thank me." Nelson said, "Let's just wait for him patiently."

With that, Mr. Slater didn't dare to raise a fuss anymore and waited patiently.

...

In the hotel room.

After a steamy sex session, Anastasia was so exhausted that her fingers felt like jelly. She didn't have the strength to move anymore. She shot a glance at Herman who was still as fresh as a daisy. "You're such a pervert." She said.

"Totally my bad. Take a good rest in the hotel today." Herman said gently, "I'll take you out for a walk tonight."

Anastasia sat up, saying, "I've got something to show you first."

In a marriage, it was better to clear the air and avoid misunderstandings. Anastasia showed Herman the photos on her phone, pulled a long face and said, "Explain this to me."

Herman took a quick peek at the photos and instantly got the picture. Instead of getting pissed at Anastasia for her midnight raid, he was thrilled, "You've driven over 200 miles from Riverdale just for these photos. I'm chuffed because it shows you care about me."

Who else would check on him in the middle of the night if they didn't care?

Herman laughed helplessly, "It's all my fault."

Anastasia burst out laughing, "You're such a smooth talker. Go do your thing."

"Alright." Herman stood up with a smile, then asked, "How did you know I was staying at this hotel?"

Anastasia teased, "Women are like the reincarnation of Sherlock Holmes in such matters. Finding out isn't rocket science."

The smile in Herman's eyes deepened, "It looks like you're finally willing to put some effort into me." Only a woman who genuinely cared about him would go to great lengths to track him down.

Hearing this, Anastasia felt a bit guilty. She hadn't really put her heart into caring for Herman before. It was always him making the sacrifices for her. She ran all the way here to find him and he was actually happy about it. It seemed that she hadn't been performing her duties as a wife well before.
