The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 431

Chapter 431 

 Julie moved swiftly, heading to the countryside the very night Grannie Anita arrived there. 

Grannie Anita was seated in the garden of her countryside home, wiping tears from her 

eyes, 

and her two best friends were consoling her. 

Crying and cursing, Grannie Anita exclaimed, “My granddaughter-in-law is such a disgrace. She’s bewitched my grandson, Herman. You both know how obedient he used to be. Now I’ve been banished to the countryside. Isn’t it all her doing?” 

Her two friends, both in their late seventies, were well-known gossipmongers in the village, always in-the-know about everyone’s business. For example, a daughter-in-law was arguing with her mother-in-law, or spending excessively on online shopping, or not having children after years of marriage, or a man was involved with the local widow… 

These petty issues were blown out of proportion, making the village a hotbed of gossip every day. 

The village square was the gossip hub. As long as it wasn’t raining, it was filled with the village’s elderly, discussing the latest scandals 

The two grannies consoled Grannie Anita, saying, “Don’t let your anger get the best of you. You have to take care of your health, otherwise, you’re just letting your 

granddaughter-in-law win. We’ve lived for so long. We won’t be manipulated by a young 

girl.” 

“Indeed, just stay here for a few days. We’ll help you come up with a solution. We can’t let a young girl turn everything upside down.” 

“You said the child isn’t your grandson’s, right? We can just wait until the child is born and have a paternity test done.” 

Grannie Anita retorted angrily, “How can a bastard be born into the Salstrom family? If I die, I wouldn’t be able to face our ancestors.” 

Just as Grannie Anita finished, car lights shone into the yard. Soon, Julie’s voice echoed, “Grannie, I’m here to see you.” Julie cheerfully called out from outside the yard, holding a bag of groceries. 

Upon hearing the voice, Grannie Anita was both surprised and delighted. “Julie, why are you here so late?” 

Julie replied with a smile, “Grannie, I came to see you. I heard you were sent back to the countryside and I know you must be upset. I wanted to come and comfort you.” 

Grannie Anita apppeared so touched, and Julie had a cold smirk in her heart. 

Grannie Anita led Julie into the house. Her friends left, and Julie decided to stay. Grannie Anita was becoming more and more fond of Julie.

Grannie Anita held Julie’s hand and suddenly asked, “Julie, what do you think of Joseph?” 

Julie instantly understood Grannie Anita’s implication. A hint of cruelty flashed in her eyes, Julie feigned sadness and said, “Grannie, my relationship with Joseph was a misunderstanding. You know that I don’t like him. I wanted to marry Herman. Don’t you love me anymore? Are you not gonna help me?”
