The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 294

Chapter 294 

From the way Harmon was talking, Anastasia could tell something was off. She asked hastily, “Can you say that again? You were at the cafe too and I was your blind date? How is that even possible?” 

Looking at Anastasia, Harmon stated flatly, “You’re still in denial.” He pulled out Anastasia’s profile from the dating site, and showing it to her, “Look closely. This is you. The picture and the name, they’re all yours. The cafe, the manager clearly told me that’s where the date was supposed to be.” 

Seeing the profile, Anastasia was filled with doubt. She was supposed to be on a date with Harmon that day? Not Herman? 

Then who was Herman? Did she mix/up the people that day? It couldn’t be. If that was the case, why would Herman want to marry her? And Herman’s situation also matched what the dating website had said. 

In disbelief, Anastasia asked, “Was it really you in the cafe that day? What did the dating site tell you? Who was the person in charge?” 

Harmon scoffed, “The website just told me your name, said you were young and pretty. Twenty-five and only had a mother. They also said you were eager to get married, and had been on several blind dates already.” He’mocked, “What, still can’t admit it?” 

The information Harmon provided all checked out. But Anastasia found it hard to believe. Both Herman and Harmon’s parents were deceased, they both worked at Elysian Technologies and they were both thirty. 

How could it be such a coincidence? 

If she had mistaken the person that day, Herman should have known she was there for a blind date. Why would he marry her? 

Anastasia quickly recalled the recent events, carefully considering the suspicious points about Herman. 

The dating site said Herman didn’t have a house, but in fact, the house at Harmony Meadows was his. He said he was a programmer at Elysian Technologies, but she never saw him working overtime like other programmers. Instead, he frequently attended various social events. She had never visited his workplace. At home, she never saw him making calls or hanging out with colleagues. This was abnormal for a company employee. There should be a few colleagues that he would socialize with, but Herman never did. He always seemed busy, but when she was hospitalized due to a car accident, he was able to take two months off to take care of her. He wasn’t afraid of offending Ledford Corporation, nor was he afraid of hitting Cason. 

Suddenly, Anastasia had doubts. Who was Herman? What did he do for a living? 

Seeing Anastasia not talking, Harmon stuck his knife into the bedsheet, “What, cat got your tongue? I ended up like this because of you. You agreed to go on a blind date with me, and that means you agreed to marry me. You are mine.” 

“Harmon, listen to me, there might have been a mix up. No, maybe I messed it up.” Anastasia stammered in explanation, “I did go on a blind date that day, but the person wasn’t you. Or maybe, I might have mistaken the person. Anyway, I didn’t meet you before I joined the company, I didn’t know you or I never lied to you.” 

“You’re still defending yourself. You’ve already admitted. The person that day was you, and you’re the person I was supposed to marry.” Harmon became excited, his face twisted as he suddenly grabbed Anastasia’s shoulder, “You’re the one I was supposed to marry. You guys tricked me out of so much money, you’ll repay me with yourself. I’ve made up my mind and you must marry me.”
