The Bound Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 50

Chapter 50 

I’m really worried, your aunt can’t take it anymore and her blood pressure is through the roof,” 

Salma replied,” Joey is such a jerk. If he and Gianna can’t make peace, they should just get a divorce. Why does he have to lie like this? I heard that Joey’s the other woman even has a five–year–old daughter with him. That means they’ve been together for years. And now she’s pregnant with their second child, a son. The Edmunds family really wants this kid, but they’re not willing to divorce.” 

Thinking of Joey playing the innocent victim in the hospital, claiming that his mistress was the one clinging to him, Anastasia couldn’t help but think what a great actor he was 

Their daughter is five years old, so they’ve been together for at least six years now 

That means Joey started having an affair not long after he got married to Gianna. 

He was really good at keeping his secret activities hidden all these years. 

Joey’s career has been getting better, and he’s always been incredibly sweet and caring towards Gianna. He was the perfect husband, except for the fact that they didn’t have any kids. They were the model couple. 

Because of Joey’s affair, Anastasia started to lose faith in marriage. 

If even the perfect man can cheat, what else is impossible? 

On the phone, Anastasia reminded Salma not to interfere too much. Even if she goes, she should just be there to comfort Gianna. As for how Gianna handles her marriage, she shouldn’t intervene too much. 

After hanging up the phone, Anastasia sat in the living room, lost in thought, wondering how far her marriage with Herman could go. 

If Herman ever betrayed her, what would she do? 

Anastasia was too distracted to work all afternoon and ended up watching TV shows on the couch. 

Around five o’clock, she heard a noise at the door and turned to see Herman coming home. 

She glanced at the time and thought, oh crap, she haven’t even started cooking dinner yet. 

She didn’t expect Herman to come home so early today 

Anastasia immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go make dinner. 

“Anastasia, let’s go out for dinner tonight.” Herman said as he changed into his slippers, “Let’s celebrate your new job tomorrow. I’ll go take a shower and change clothes.” 

Anastasia was a bit surprised. Herman came home early today to celebrate for her? 

“Alright,” she said, I’ll go change clothes too.” 

After Herman went back to the bedroom to shower and change clothes, they left the house around six. 

Herman was driving and Anastasia was in the passenger seat. He noticed that she seemed to be preoccupied with something and asked, “How was your medical check–up today?” 

Anastasia replied, “No issues, everything’s normal.” 

“So, something’s bothering you?” 

When Herman asked that, Anastasia who was full of worries, couldn’t help but blurt out, “My cousin Gianna’s husband Joey cheated. They’ve been married for eight years and now that Gianna can’t have kids, Joey had a child with someone else. The whole thing was exposed and now Gianna is arguing with him about a divorce” 

Hearing this, Herman understood, “You’re worried about our marriage.” 

Anastasia was a bit taken aback by how straightforward he was. 

She gave a weak smile and said, “Not really” 

“Anastasia” Herman suddenly called her name very seriously. “As long as we’re married, I will never betray you.” 

His words meant that as long as they were husband and wife, he would be absolutely loyal to the marriage. 

Anastasia awkwardly responded with a laugh, “I trust you completely”
