In Chapter 628 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 628 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.
Jason paused, immediately considering Anastasia's current state. "No way," he said firmly. "I've got my eyes on the neighborhood across the street. Just give me a little more time, and I'll find out where Julie is."
From a cop's perspective, Jason knew he couldn't risk alerting the suspect, and using Anastasia as bait was completely out of the question. The goal was to catch Julie and whoever was behind her without putting anyone in harm's way.
"The longer this drags on, the more desperate Julie could get," Anastasia expressed her worries. "Remember what happened with Gianna and Pattie? I can't let any risk go unchecked."
"Anastasia, take it easy," Jason advised. "With your health, if anything went wrong, I'd never forgive myself. And Monica... if she found out, she'd have my head. Plus, that's not how we handle cases."
Anastasia knew her idea was a bit much, but she was just scared of repeating past mistakes.
"You're really worried about Monica, aren't you?" Anastasia picked up on his concern.
Jason nodded. "Monica thinks the world of you. She never stops talking about how you're the most important person to her after her parents. I wouldn't dare put you at risk, especially with Herman around. I'd be in serious trouble with both of them."
Feeling a warm glow inside, Anastasia smiled. "That's Monica for you, tough outside but warm inside. Having her as a best friend is a blessing. Jason, there's something I've been wanting to ask."
Jason motioned for her to continue.
"Do you like anyone?" Anastasia asked directly.
Jason was surprised by her straightforwardness.
After a moment, he said, "Just say what's on your mind."
Skipping the small talk, Anastasia asked, "What do you think about Monica? I've been thinking about setting you two up. Monica mentioned someone likes you, and she doesn't want to come between anyone, so I wanted your thoughts."
Anastasia saw Jason as a good match for Monica, given his honesty and bright future.
Monica's track record with men wasn't great, often being taken advantage of financially. Anastasia had seen it all.
Despite Monica's knack for matchmaking, her own choices weren't always the best. The last guy had drained a lot of her money.
