The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 221

Chapter 221 

Tavon’s emotional onslaught was really doing a number this time. 

Could anyone blame Salma for being moved as she reminisced about their love affair? After all, Tavon was her one and only man, the father of Anastasia. 

Salma had been on standby for Tavon for over two decades, never forgetting him. As Salma fell silent, recalling the past, Tavon continued his romantic spiel, hoping Salma would feel the same. 

“Salma, I remember our first date, we went hiking on Cloud Mountain. You twisted your ankle and I carried you up. We spent two days up there, watching the sea of clouds and the sunrise. I proposed, and you said yes.” Tavon said, his voice filled with emotion, “Time flies, we’re getting old now. Salma, I really wanted to marry you back then. If it wasn’t for my family pushing me, I would never have married Ashley.” 

Two decades earlier, Tavon had no claim to the family inheritance. He was genuinely in love with Salma, wanting to spend his life with her, but his family disagreed. They even cut off his credit card, a blow to Tavon who was used to a comfortable lifestyle. 

Salma remembered the shame of being kicked out by the Morton family, the most humiliating moment of her life. 

Salma, feeling a sharp pain in her heart, asked, “Where were you when I was forced by your family to have an abortion? Tavon, it’s been over two decades. If you had any pity for me, why did you wait until now to find me?” 

“I thought you got married, Salma. I didn’t know you were waiting for me. I refused to marry Ashley to rebel against my family. I was even locked up by them for three months. Then, my mom told me you got married. I thought it was true, I was so disappointed that I married Ashley.” Tavon said. 

“So what was that breakup letter about?” Salma asked, feeling a little moved by Tavon’s words. 

“I never wrote any letter.” Tayon seized the moment, took Salma’s hand and said passionately, “That was my mother, forging my handwriting. Salma, I’ve never forgotten you, all these years. I still think of our time together every day.” 

Recalling the past, Salma was tearful. Any woman, regardless of age, could be moved by a man’s deep love. 

Tavon had obviously come prepared this time. He took out a share transfer agreement from his bag and handed it to Salma, “Salma, these are shares of my company. Ana is my daughter, and she has her share. I’ve divided the shares into three parts. As my eldest daughter, Ana will get the largest portion. I’ve prepared a house in Willowbrook for Ana. Once you’re recovered, I’ll take you both to live there.” 

This time, Tavon-was all in. Seeing the share transfer document and hearing about the house Tavon had prepared for her and her daughter, Salma was deeply moved. 

Tavon made no mention of asking Anastasia for a bone marrow donation, instead focusing on their past.
