In Chapter 688 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 688 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.
Anastasia’s mind was already home, eager to see her three little ones. With a loving husband and three adorable kids, she felt that every hardship she’d ever faced was worth it.
Herman, knowing how anxious Anastasia was, quickly called Nelson and Flynn to come up and grab their things. Just as they were leaving, Herman got a call from James.
James, knowing Anastasia was coming home today, had a few reminders for Herman. "Just remember," James said, "take it easy and don't rush things. You've been patient this long, a bit more won’t hurt."
Herman, feigning annoyance, replied, "Are you trying to get on my nerves?"
James laughed, "Your threats don’t scare me. Your wife’s your treasure, take care of her. I’m heading out of town and will miss the baby’s christening, but I’ve left a gift on your desk."
"Got it," Herman said. "Just remember to send your share of the gift money."
James quipped, "Aren’t you a big shot? Why’re you squeezing me for cash?"
Herman retorted, "All my money’s with Anastasia. I’m broke, just wire it to me."
"Seriously, Herman? No chance. No cash from me, and don’t forget your gift. Gotta board my flight."
"Safe travels," Herman said, just teasing. After hanging up, he went downstairs to join Anastasia in the car for the ride home.
The christening was set for next Monday, and with today being Friday, they had a few days to go. Anastasia was so eager to get there; the drive seemed to drag on forever. She wished the car could just sprout wings and fly.
As soon as they pulled into Southridge Estates and parked, Anastasia practically flew out of the car. Pattie was the first to run out and meet her, knowing her mom was home.
Seeing her eldest daughter, Anastasia beamed, "Pattie, you look so pretty today! Definitely my daughter, getting more beautiful every day."
Pattie grinned at the compliment. At seven, she was already tall and graceful, a beauty in the making.
