The Bound Between Us

Chapter 25

Monica joked, “Ana, you really don’t give a damn about your hubby huh? By the way, he wasn’t ticked off about the thing at the reunion, was he?”

After Anastasia left the reunion, Monica also bounced right away

“Nah” Anastasia answered. It’s rare for something to ruffle his leathers”

As they spent more time together, Anastasia gradually got the hang of this.

Monica said. “Cason is pretty tough, too, but let s move past that*

She initially wanted to play Cupid with them, but now that Anastasia was already hitched. It didn’t seem quite right.

“Monica, why don’t you go hang with your friends. Il find somewhere to chill” Anastasia wasn’t really a fan of these scenes.

“Alright then, you find a spot to sit, I’ll go mingle with rny friends. If you’re not feeling it, we can take off together”

“Cool” Anastasia found a quiet corner to sit. Yhe service was top–notch, as soon as she sat down, a waiter came over with a selection of drinks.

Anastasia opted for a bottle of water, uncertain whether the drinks were on the house. If they weren’t, in such a swanky place, even a bottle of water could cost an arm and a leg.
