The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 1145

Scott’s impatience was obvious—he didn’t bother to hide it, and it stung Juliana deeply.

She hurried after him down the stairs, but Scott had already told the driver to go, and the car was gone.

Furious, Juliana flung her limited-edition handbag onto the sofa. “Scott, you jerk!”

Layna came over quietly. “Mom, isn’t Uncle taking us? Is he mad?”

“Don’t let what your uncle said bother you, Layna,” Juliana tried to reassure her, forcing a smile. “If he won’t take us, we’ll just go by ourselves.”

Layna was anxious. “But Mom, if Uncle finds out, he’ll be upset. Let’s just drop it. Please don’t fight with him.” Layna was worried—now that Juliana had lost her place in this house, Layna felt it too.

Juliana hated the thought of Scott being angry, but she couldn’t just swallow her pride.

“Layna, you should go to school. I’ll ask the housekeeper to take you,” Juliana said, giving in because she wanted to fix things with Scott.

After the housekeeper left with Layna, Juliana called Sandy for help. “Sandy, my husband doesn’t care about me at all anymore. Today is Mr. Walker’s son’s baby party, and he won’t even take me. Has he fallen out of love? You’ve been at the company for ages—have you noticed anything weird? Is there another woman?”

Sandy was still at work and was already tired of hearing Juliana complain.

She pulled the office blinds shut and said, “You’re overthinking. Your husband isn’t seeing anyone else. Everything’s fine. Did you do something to make him mad again?”

“I didn’t do anything!” Juliana snapped. “I just wanted to go to the party with him, but he said no. It must be because Anastasia is going. He doesn’t want me there. Sandy, please keep an eye out for me. Don’t let any other woman get close to him.”

“Relax, I’ll watch for you,” Sandy replied halfheartedly. “I have work to finish. We’ll talk later.”

She hung up, already hatching a plan. Tonight was the perfect chance—Scott and Juliana had fought, so Scott would be distracted and probably drink too much at the party.

Sandy left the office, her mind made up.
