The Bond Between Us (Anastasia and Herman) novel Chapter 790

"Ana, what brings you here? Where's your mom?" Tavon's face lit up as he propped himself up in bed, grinning widely. Anastasia's presence was like a breath of fresh air; before she arrived, Tavon had been moping around, his face clouded with gloom.

"Mom mentioned you were in the hospital, so I thought I'd swing by," Anastasia replied, keeping her true intentions under wraps. Tavon's hospitalization was the perfect excuse for her visit.

"Hey, sis," Sandy greeted with a smile.

Anastasia barely glanced at Sandy and said, "I got this. You can take care of other things." Her commanding presence was undeniable, and Sandy instinctively put her bowl down, nodding. "Alright."

Sandy was relieved to leave; she felt uncomfortable around Anastasia. With Herman off in Riverdale and Anastasia suddenly in Willowbrook, Sandy’s mind was in a whirl. She needed to call Sean and get the lowdown on Herman's situation.

Once Sandy left, Anastasia settled into a chair, eyeing Tavon. "Did you really get into it with Ashley?"

"More like I got ambushed," Tavon grumbled, anger simmering. "Caught her sneaking around with some guy. Even when I confronted her, she wouldn’t admit it, but I saw him."

"Got played, huh?" Anastasia teased. "Always on guard, and look where it got you."

Tavon rolled his eyes. "Are you here to visit or just to mock me?"

"Just dropping by," Anastasia shrugged. "You look pretty lively; maybe you should get out of that hospital bed."

"Just dropping by? You have other business in Willowbrook?" Tavon grumbled. "Your old man’s in this state, and you just happen to stop by?"

"Alright, let’s say I’m concerned. Tell me about this guy Ashley's seeing. Is he handsome? Younger? More interesting?" Anastasia poked fun.

Tavon huffed. "Might as well not ask."

Her words hit home.

Anastasia chuckled. "Should I head out then?"

Tavon stayed silent, so Anastasia pretended to leave, only to turn back. "Did Ashley really cheat?"
