The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 292

Herman had a hunch that Anastasia was in trouble. He couldn't reach her and had a bad feeling in his gut. He immediately told his driver to head back to Harmony Meadows and made a call to Dailey, "Track down Anastasia. I need to know where she is now."

Flynn, sitting in the back seat, was stunned. Herman had even reached out to Dailey. He wanted to say things weren't that urgent, but seeing Herman's grim face, he decided to keep his mouth shut.

Who was Dailey? He was Herman's top-notch bodyguard for eight years, currently on a year-long break. To Herman, Dailey was like the king's right-hand man. Herman rarely called on him, but when he did, it meant something big was up.

Dailey's voice came from the other end of the line, "Give me ten minutes." In ten minutes, he would find Anastasia.

As he was on the phone, Herman had reached the entrance of Harmony Meadows.

He got out of the car, went to the security booth, and tapped on the window. The security guard, who was snoozing, woke up with a start. Seeing Herman, he got the shivers. Herman standing before the window was like the lord of the underworld.

"Mr. Salstrom, you're back." The guard greeted him enthusiastically.

Herman asked, "Has my wife been back?"

The guard, who was familiar with half of the residents, immediately answered, "Yes, just an hour ago. She even waved to me."

Hearing this, Herman's brow furrowed even more. Katelyn had said Anastasia hadn't returned, but the guard said she had. This meant Anastasia had entered the community but hadn't gone home. Did she disappear over here?

...

Anastasia was whisked away to Riverdale's old district. The houses here were run-down, nothing like the ones in the downtown. The majority of the residents were down on their luck, and the place was chaotic. Those even poorer were living under bridges.

Anastasia's pupils contracted as a man walked in with a beer in his hand. The man was dressed in black pants and a black leather jacket. When he took off his hat, Anastasia saw his face clearly and was dumbstruck. It was Harmon.

She never thought it would be Harmon. She hadn't wronged him.

"Mmm mmm mmm." Anastasia tried to speak, but with her mouth taped shut, she could only make muffled sounds.

Harmon just glanced at Anastasia. He put the beer on the table, poured himself a glass, and started snacking and drinking. Anastasia didn't know what Harmon was up to and didn't dare to provoke him. She stayed quiet in the corner of the bed.

Harmon took a sip of his beer and gave Anastasia a gloomy look, "When day breaks, I'll take you to get our marriage certificate."
