The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 433

Anastasia hovered at the door, waiting for Herman to end his call before she entered.

“Why are you still up?” Herman noticed Anastasia’s presence, and a flicker of guilt was passing through his eyes. He quickly ushered Anastasia to the couch, propping her up with a soft cushion. He was worried she might have heard his conversation.

“Busy with work?” Anastasia asked as she sat down. “Who were you talking to? Was it Dailey? I heard something about a private detective. Are you hiding something from me?”

Herman crouched down beside her. His lips curled up into a faint smile. “We’ve got a few new projects in the works, so it’s been a bit hectic at the office. Let me feel our baby.”

Their tender moment was interrupted by an unexpected visitor.

“Anastasia, you’re still in bed? I brought you some of my shop’s new imported coffee beans. They’re safe for pregnant women to...” Gianna’s cheerful entrance came to an abrupt halt. Her face was paling as she took in the sight of Anastasia and Herman’s intimate moment.

Gianna hadn’t expected to find Herman at home, let alone walk in on him and Anastasia in a passionate embrace. Her unrequited feelings for Herman shifted uncomfortably at the sight.

Swiftly regaining her composure, she joked, “Sorry, I didn’t see anything. Carry on,” before exiting the room. The smile fell off her face the moment the door was closed behind her.

Inside the room, Anastasia was equally surprised by Gianna’s sudden appearance. Her face flushed in embarrassment. She gently nudged Herman. “We should get up...”
