The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 

Katelyn seemed quite shocked. “Where on earth is your brother this late at night? I haven’t seen him all day.” 

Flynn responded, puzzled, “Yeah, it’s a bit weird. His phone is off. I’ll ask Nelson.” 

Flynn dialed Nelson, being Herman’s assistant, he should have a clue about Herman’s whereabouts. But Nelson was also clueless. 

Katelyn glanced at the clock and exclaimed, “It’s the middle of the night now. What is he doing out there instead of being home with his wife? Anastasia needs to keep a tighter leash on him. I’ll talk to her tomorrow. This is unacceptable for a married man to be out this late!” 

In the Salstrom family, the house rules were strict. Unless there was a party, everyone had to be home before midnight. 

Flynn couldn’t help but poke fun. “Mom, if people didn’t know any better, they would think Anastasia is your biological daughter, and my brother is some child you picked up off the street.” 

Katelyn shot Flynn a look. “You better watch yourself, mister. If you stir up any scandal, don’t think about coming back 

home.” 

“Mom, why are you blaming me again?” Flynn felt wronged and quickly changed the subject. “By the way, is Dad still not home?” 

“I have no idea what he’s up to these days. He’s been leaving early and coming home late,” Katelyn said anxiously. “Flynn, you don’t think your dad is fooling around with other women at his age, do you?” 

“That’s highly unlikely, mom. You’re charming, beautiful, and irresistible. My dad isn’t blind, why would he go looking for other women when he has such a beauty at home?” Flynn quickly flattered his Mom, ‘Under your reign, our family has been running smoothly. Even Dad has had no scandals. It’s all because of your wise management.” 

Katelyn burst into laughter, “You sure know how to sweet talk. Send a message to Anastasia, tell her Herman is working overtime, and she should go to bed. I’ll find out what’s going on with your brother.” 

No matter where Herman was or what he was doing, Katelyn had to reassure Anastasia first. This minor issue shouldn’t affect their marriage. 

Anastasia sat on her bed staring at her phone, waiting for a message from Herman. She’d made several calls but couldn’t reach him. Then, a message came in from Flynn, “I’ve found my brother. He’s working late and his phone died. You should rest, he’ll come back as soon as he’s done.” 

Anastasia felt something was off. Couldn’t he have charge his phone? 

Flynn had already contacted Herman. Even if Herman’s phone was dead, he could borrow a phone from a coworker to call 

her back. 

Anastasia was frustrated and heard a noise at the door. Thinking it might be Herman, she put on her slippers and went out, But Herman hadn’t come back, and she stood at the door, waiting for it to open, but it never did.
