The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 414

Chapter 414 

As Anastasia tenderly caressed her pregnant belly, a radiant smile of happiness spread across her face. “We didn’t find out the gender. We’ll be happy with a boy or a girl.” 

“You’ve only been married to Herman for a few months and you’re already pregnant. I’m in my thirties and still single.” Gianna said with a hint of self-deprecation. “My mom even had my fortune read, saying I’m destined to be single.” 

Anastasia chuckled. “You’re beautiful and successful, Gianna. There’s no shortage of men who are interested in you. Are you worried you won’t find a good husband?” 

“They’re all after something, and I know exactly what it is. After Joey’s accident, they’re not just interested in me. They’re after my money.” Gianna jested, “Besides, compared to your husband, they’re not even in the same league.” 

Anastasia just took it as a joke and didn’t notice the hidden jealousy in Gianna’s words. She playfully asked, “So, are you really going to stay single?” 

“Being single isn’t so bad if you can’t find the right one.” Gianna laughed, “If you were willing to share your husband with me, I wouldn’t hesitate. A good man like that is worth holding onto.” 

Gianna’s words were a little overboard, revealing her envy and admiration for Anastasia. 

Anastasia gave a forced smile, and Gianna quickly added, “I’m just kidding, Anastasia. I wouldn’t steal your husband. Besides, Herman wouldn’t be interested in a divorced woman who’s older than he is.” 

Gianna was indeed older than Herman. 

Although Gianna claimed to be joking, Anastasia felt a discomfort in her heart. Not all jokes are appropriate. 

As they were chatting, Herman called to pick up Anastasia. Soon after the call, Anastasia waited for him by the road. Gianna didn’t dare to give Herman an extra glance, fearing her feelings would be revealed. 

Anastasia noticed Gianna’s coldness towards Herman and didn’t think much of it. 

While Dailey was driving, Herman and Anastasia sat in the back. He affectionately held her hand. “You got up so early today. How about I take you home for a nap?” 

Anastasia laughed, “Can you read my mind?” She was indeed tired. With her belly growing bigger, the load on her waist was increasing. The aftereffects of her previous injury were also starting to show, causing pain if she sat for too long, but she didn’t want Herman to 

worry. 

Anastasia leaned against Herman’s shoulder. Her gaze fell on her belly as she gently stroked it. “Our baby has been quite active today, kicking me several times.”

“If it turns out to be a boy, I’ll definitely teach him a lesson.” 

Anastasia laughed, “What if it’s a girl?” 

Herman replied seriously, “A stern talking-to will suffice.” 

“Are you biased towards girls, ‘Herman?” Anastasia asked in amusement. “You should treat boys and girls equally.” 

“That’s not how it works. Boys need to be more responsible.” Herman explained, “Boys shouldn’t be pampered.”
