In Chapter 930 of The Bond Between Us novel, the narrative takes a riveting turn, plunging readers deeper into the intricacies of Anastasia and Herman's evolving relationship. As the couple grapples with the shocking revelation of their shared past, the town of Riverdale becomes a backdrop for both confrontations and moments of quiet introspection.
Chapter 930 opens with Anastasia attempting to piece together the fragments of her forgotten memories, haunted by the striking resemblance of their daughter to a past she never knew she had. The quaint charm of Riverdale transforms into a landscape of uncertainty as Herman, determined to unearth the truth, confronts Anastasia with questions that demand answers.
Herman showing up was the last thing Asher expected.
He dropped Rowan and turned to his guy. “How many people with him?”
“T-t-t…” The poor kid had a stutter that could tie knots in your patience.
Asher’s eyebrows jumped. “Twenty?!”
“N-n-no, it’s t-t-t…” The guy’s face was red as a tomato, struggling just to get the words out.
Asher was about to lose it. He stared at the kid, waiting for something more than another round of “t-t-t…” but that’s all he got.
Finally, Asher lost his patience and sent a quick kick his way. The kid hit the floor, and the shock must’ve helped, because at last he managed to spit it out: “Two. Two people.”
Asher just stared at him. “...Really?”
“If it’s just two, just say two! What’s with all the t-t-t? Didn’t your English teacher teach you anything?” Asher gave him a light slap on the back of the head. “You’re such a blockhead.”
The kid, gathering his courage, corrected him, “Asher, it’s ‘dumbass’.”
“Oh, dumbass, huh? I’ll give you dumbass!” Asher gave him another slap. “If I say blockhead, it’s blockhead. Got it?”
The kid rubbed his head, looking totally put out. “G-g-got it.”
Asher was already ticked off at Rowan, and now his own crew was driving him nuts. He stood there, hands on his hips, so mad he forgot what he was even supposed to be doing.
The kid piped up, “Uh, Asher, Herman’s waiting outside.”
“What’s he want? I never go looking for him, and now he’s got the nerve to come to me?” Asher asked. “Who’s the other one? Seriously, just two people?”
The kid looked at Asher with that clueless gaze only the truly oblivious can manage. “Asher, you’ve always been scared of Herman, aren’t you? Didn’t you even move out to the sticks to dodge him? Did you forget?”
Privately, the guy was thinking, Asher would never go looking for Herman—he can barely hide fast enough. He must’ve forgotten.
Asher just glared.
