The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 641

Anastasia figured Cynthia and Colton had finally let Gianna go. But then, it hit her—Gianna's trial was coming up next month.

Colton's visit was surely about Gianna. Anastasia decided not to see him, telling the nanny to turn him away, saying she wasn't home. She already knew what Colton would say, so there was no point in meeting him.

The nanny told Colton, "Mrs. Young isn't home, Mr. Smith. Maybe you should come back another time."

"Is Salma here, then? I really need to speak with her. Could you please let her know?" Colton asked earnestly.

The nanny, having worked there for ages, knew exactly what was going on. Anastasia’s absence was her way of saying no.

"Mr. Smith, please, just go. The young miss can't speak, and what mother could accept that? Even if you're here to plead, it won't change anything," the nanny explained.

Colton realized it wasn't that Anastasia wasn't home; she just didn't want to see him. He sighed, "I admit, I haven't done a great job raising my daughter, and I'm ashamed. Please, could you tell Anastasia I need to see her? It's about Pattie's biological father, not about pleading for Gianna."

The nanny hesitated but then said, "Wait here. I'll ask again."

"Thank you, thank you so much," Colton replied, remaining polite.

The nanny was willing to pass on the message because Colton seemed genuinely nice, unlike Cynthia, who always acted like she was above everyone else.

Just as Anastasia was about to relax, the nanny came in, "Mrs. Young, Mr. Smith insists on seeing you. He says it’s about Pattie's biological father."

Anastasia's expression shifted, and she quickly said, "Let him in."

The question of Pattie's biological father had always lingered in Anastasia's mind. All she had was a vague story from Melinda about a Mr. Winchester from Shandong.
