The Bond Between Us novel Chapter 412

Grannie Anita had just given herself away. Katelyn’s dislike for Julie grew stronger. She said, “Mom, a woman of integrity shouldn’t meddle in other people’s marriages.”

“I’m not discussing this with you.” Grannie Anita couldn’t win the argument against Katelyn, so she took her cane and ascended the stairs.

At the hospital.

Herman sat beside Pattie, reading children’s books, teaching her nursery rhymes, and helping her practice writing. Herman was incredibly patient when it came to this.

Anastasia smiled and said, “Once Pattie starts first grade next term, you’re taking over her studies.”

Herman replied, “No problem. Pattie is smart. She learns quickly.”

Pattie, being praised, was bubbling with joy and self-praise. “I’m the best. Dad, see, did I write it right?”

Pattie had already learned a lot of words and could write her own name. She recognized over five hundred words.

Herman checked and praised, “Pattie, your handwriting is beautiful. You might become a calligrapher in the future.”

“Really?” Pattie was very happy.

Anastasia laughed and said, “Herman, don’t overpraise her. Look at her, she’s over the moon.”

Pattie sweetly smiled and said, “Mommy, I don’t live on the moon. Only aliens do. Teacher said we live on the earth.”

Anastasia laughed at Pattie’s remark. “You smartie, you’ve been studying for a while now. It’s time to rest.”

Anastasia also had some questions for Herman, but she waited until after Pattie had rested. “What did you do at Eagle Corporation today?” Anastasia asked. “I asked Dailey. He said Anthony revealed Joseph as the man behind everything. Who is he, your business rival?” Anastasia was curious about Joseph. She had no quarrel with him.

Herman’s eyes slightly narrowed. He pondered for a moment, and said, “He’s my father’s illegitimate son, and also a business competitor.”
