Chapter 12

Herman shot Flynn a look, basically telling him to keep his trap shut. Right then, Anastasia walked out of the restroom and froze at the sight of the new face in the booth, her eyes landing on Herman.

Salma jumped in to introduce him, “This is Herman’s distant relative. His name is…”

Salma didn’t know his name, so Flynn chimed in, “Im Flynn”

Seeing Anastasia, Flynn was a little baffled. He began to wonder, was his older brother meeting not the old woman he’d imagined, but this young woman? Hearing his name, Anastasia stopped questioning and took a seat.

Salma said. “Herman, your parents passed away early, you have no siblings, and you’re a lonely kid who had to fend for himself in Riverdale. I can tell that you’re a hardworking and down–to–earth good boy. I feel comfortable leaving Ana in your care, and I hope you two will have a good life together”

This was a loaded statement that left Flynn a little stunned.

Parents passed away early? No siblings? Flynn’s eyes widened in disbelief. His parents were alive and kicking at home, and here he was, his own flesh and blood, sitting right here. When did his older brother become so pitiful?

Flynn turned to Herman, baffled, “Herman, you…”

But before Flynn could finish his sentence, Herman stomped on his foot under the table, signaling him to shut up. It wasn’t a light stomp either, Flynn yelped in pain.
