The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 108

Chapter 108 

Anastasia’s serious face caught Gianna off guard, and she actually answered her. 

“It’s a high-end private kindergarten. The place is prime real estate and the rent is actually pretty cheap for that area.” 

“1 see,” Anastasia nodded, “It’s not easy raising kids these days.” 

“Living costs in Riverdale are steep, and parents take education very seriously Spending a little extra on kindergarten isn’t a big deal to them. Many are willing to shell out tens, even hundreds of thousands to secure a good school” 

Suddenly, Gianna realized that Anastasia had led her off topic and gave her a stern look. 

But Anastasia seemed interested. Her expression seemed to say, “Go on” 

“Anastasia, are you making fun of me on purpose?” Gianna grabbed a tissue and wiped her tears. 

“Weren’t you upset just now?” said Anastasia. 

Gianna was distracted and not as upset and angry as before. 

Feeling frustrated, Gianna sighed and wiped her tears once again, choosing to remain silent. 

This time Anastasia behaved very kindly and asked, “What are you going to do if Joey doesn’t divorce you?” 

“Expose his dirty laundry, Gianna said, “He just got promoted to director, he wouldn’t want a scandal. If he wants to keep his position, he’ll have to give me back all the money he’s spent on that woman.” 

Gianna spoke through gritted teeth. 

Anastasia brought Gianna back to reality with a reality check, Think about it, a hospital director’s position or three properties, which would you choose?” Gianna had a sudden realization. She was the only child in her family, and her family’s properties were worth millions. There was no way Joey would give up such a big slice of the pie 

‘That’s why he doesn’t want to divorce me,” Gianna felt a chill down her spine, “He’s so greedy, wanting the woman, the money, and my family’s 

properties.” 

“I’m just giving you a heads up, Anastasia said, “How you handle your eight-year marriage is up to you. Also, don’t be a full-time housewife. Even if you’re financially secure, don’t let your world revolve around a man” 

“You mean I should find a lover too? Gianna asked. 

Anastasia was speechless What kind of logic was that? 

Before Anastasia could say anything, Gianna said, “You’re right. If Joey can cheat, why should I put up with it? I might be older, but I’m wealthy, I can have whatever I want. He can have his younger women, and I can have my younger men. Women my age are the most attractive” 

“Hold on Anastasia cut in, “That’s not what I meant I meant you should have your own social circle, not find a bunch of lovers. The most important thing right now is to sort out your marriage.” 

“I see Gianna finally got it, “I know what to do now. He wants my properties, but that’s not going to happen. 

“As long as you’ve made up your mind, Anastasia sighed in relief, worried that Gianna would do something impulsive, like went after some young men. She glanced at Gianna’s belly and casually asked, “Have you been to the hospital for a check-up? It’s been eight years and you’re still not pregnant. Joey’s mistress already has two kids” 

She was just curious, she didn’t mean to touch on sensitive subjects.
