In Chapter 429 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 429 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 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.”
