The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 223

Chapter 223 

When Anastasia said this, Salma felt very uneasy inside. 

“Your dad wouldn’t do that.” Salma said, “You’re his daughter. He’s already said that he’s got a house for you in Willowbrook. He’s giving you shares in his company and wants you to come help manage the biz. He wants to train you up.” 

To make Anastasia believe, Salma showed her the shares transfer document she had hidden under her pillow. 

Looking at her mother, Anastasia only felt pain in her heart but she knew she couldn’t be angry. Her mother was already old, yet she was still being fooled by Tavon. 

So what if Tavon gave her a house? She didn’t pay for it. The house Tavon gifted could be taken back on a whim. And the shares transfer document seemed like a blank check, which Tavon could also reclaim at any time. It was just some meaningless sweetener. 

Anastasia retorted, “Mom, do you want me to go back to my dad?” 

Salma hesitated for a moment and said, “Tavon is your father, that’s a fact that can’t be changed. If he sincerely repents and accepts you, then my years of suffering would have been worth it.” 

Anastasia understood. Her mother had never forgotten Tavon and still held illusions about him. After more than twenty years of persistence, how could her mother easily let go? 

“Mom, you rest first. We can watch and see if Tavon really repent’s for a while.” Anastasia said. 

Anastasia didn’t believe Tavon would repent. This was just his performance. She didn’t want to say too much. She didn’t want to make 

her mother sad. 

Anastasia’s lack of reaction puzzled Salma, but she didn’t 

say anything more. 

After Salma finished her meal, Anastasia cleared the table and wiped Salma’s hands. After all this was done, Anastasia poured water for Salma. Seeing Anastasia busy, Salma felt that she seemed to have something on her mind and asked, “Ana, is there something you want to say?” 

Salma knew her daughter well. 

Anastasia had been looking for an opportunity to ask her mother about the child. Hearing her mother ask proactively, Anastasia sat down, looked at her mother, and nervously wrung her hands, “Mom, there’s something I want to ask you. I was going to wait until you were discharged.” 

Salma was puzzled, “What is it, just say it.” 

Anastasia looked at her mother seriously, “It’s about the baby.” 

Upon hearing this, Salma had a premonition. Her expression became serious and she sat upright, “What baby? Pattie?” 

Salma deliberately asked this way. 

Seeing Salma still wanting to continue hiding, Anastasia decided to speak directly, “I’ve found Monica, she told me everything. Mom, thought about it all night, I don’t blame you for sending the baby away. I know how hard you’ve had it raising me alone all these years. I understand you only did it out of love for your own daughter, but I also care for my own daughter.” 

At this point, Anastasia became emotional. Her eyes were teary and a sadness welled up from her heart, spreading, to her eyes. 

“Mom, can you tell me where my daughter is? Where did you leave her? Do you have a picture of her? I haven’t even seen her.” Anatasia kept asking questions. 

Her daughter, she hadn’t even seen her once. She didn’t even know what her daughter’s life had been like all these years, whether she was doing well or taken care of by anyone. 

When Anastasia spoke, Salma was already in tears, wiping her tears and saying, “Ana, I’m sorry, I owe you an apology.”
