The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 429

Herman walked in, with a cool aloofness in his stance. Grannie Anita was tensed up at his presence. She even didn’t dare to look at him directly, let alone greet him with her usual warmth.

Everyone knew how much Grannie Anita adored her grandson, Herman. Feiman, noticing Grannie Anita avoiding Herman’s gaze and hearing Herman’s stern tone, immediately guessed that something was amiss.

Grannie Anita had stirred up trouble again.

Herman approached Grannie Anita. Looking down at her with a cold stare, he asked, “Dear Grandmother, please tell me, what exactly are you up to?” His formal address to her indicated the gravity of the situation.

Grannie Anita, feeling guilty, lowered her gaze and started fiddling with her fingers. She couldn’t help but sneak glances at Herman from the corner of her eyes.

Herman’s expression was icy, and for the first time, Feiman saw him using such a tone with Grannie Anita. Feiman intervened, “Herman, that’s not the right way to speak to Grandma...”

Then Feiman turned to Grannie Anita, “Mom, what have you done now?”

Grannie Anita, feigning illness, placed a hand on her head. “Oh my, my head is throbbing. Feiman, help me to my room. I need to lie down.”

Realizing Grannie Anita was faking and fearful of a confrontation, Feiman prepared to assist her upstairs.

Herman then spoke sternly, “Grandma, it seems you didn’t take my words to heart. Let me repeat myself. If you dare to meddle with my marriage to Anastasia again, I, Herman, will disown you as my grandmother.”

Herman’s penetrating gaze made Grannie Anita look away guiltily.

Katelyn, hearing the commotion from upstairs, came down. Upon hearing Herman’s words, she quickly walked over. “What’s going on? Herman, why are you speaking to Grandma like this? She’s accepted Anastasia now. She even personally poured her a glass of water as an apology yesterday.”

Ignoring Katelyn’s words, Herman continued to question Grannie Anita. His tone was icy, “You’ve been asking Nelson about my whereabouts. You arranged for me to stay in room 1122, and you had aphrodisiac candles lit in there. Grandma, did you ever consider Anastasia, who is carrying my child, when you were plotting against me? Do you realize the impact your actions could have on my marriage?”

Feiman and Katelyn were taken aback. Katelyn asked, “What aphrodisiac candles? What’s this about room 1122? Herman, what’s going on?”

Unable to withstand the questioning, Grannie Anita blurted out, “I arranged it all. I wanted to match you with Julie. I did it for your sake, Herman. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was trying to help you. The baby that Anastasia is carrying isn’t yours.”
