In Chapter 405 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 405 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.
Monica was a force to be reckoned with, undefeated in verbal battles.
Grannie Anita was so livid. She shot up from her seat. “Anastasia, what kind of company are you keeping? Birds of a feather flock together, indeed.”
Anastasia frowned, “Grannie Anita, you’ve never liked me and you’re always nitpicking. The best situation for us is for you to stop interfering and for me not to be a thorn in your side. My daughter needs rest. Please leave.”
Anastasia stood her ground, refusing to be belittled by Grannie Anita. Arguing further would only make her look like the bad person - a young girl bullying an elderly woman. The best approach was to stop bothering each other.
“Anastasia, you’re trying to drive me out, aren’t you? How ill-mannered!” Grannie Anita quivered, pointing at Anastasia. “I’m calling Herman right now to show him what kind of woman you are.”
Salma tried to mediate, “Anita, calm down. Ana isn’t trying to chase you away. We can talk about this outside. If there’s something Ana has done wrong, I’ll correct her.”
Grannie Anita scoffed, “What a performance. No wonder my grandson fell for you.”
Anastasia was at a loss for words at Grannie Anita’s wild accusations. There was no reasoning with her.
Just then, Katelyn and Feiman came to visit Pattie and heard Grannie Anita’s voice at the hospital room door. “What are you doing here?” Katelyn asked as she hurried inside.
Feiman was just as surprised. “Mom, are you here to see Anastasia?”
Grannie Anita was too proud to visit Anastasia, but she had asked Feiman privately a few times. Still angry, Grannie Anita said, “Son, you’re just in time. Let this woman explain how she’s been fooling us all along.”
Feiman, confused, looked at Anastasia, then Grannie Anita. “Mom, what’s going on?”
