The Bound Between Us

Chapter 51

Anastasia was eyeing Herman, who as a man, totally got the way guys think

Did Herman think the same way?

Being stared at by Anastasia like this, Herman knew what was on her mind.

While waiting for the traffic light, Herman patted Anastasia’s head gently, saying, “Don’t overthink, not all guys are like that.”

Caught in the act, Anastasia was a bit embarrassed, but she got straight to the point, I can’t stand you lying to me, Herman. If you ever want to call it quits, just tell me straight up, Fll understand. Just don’t keep me in the dark like some fool”

She could handle Herman falling for someone else, but she couldn’t handle being deceived.

She hoped their marriage would only involve two people, without any third wheel showing up

If that day ever came, she hoped Herman would be upfront about it, so they could split peacefully and move on to their next relationships or marriages. Herman stared at her for a moment with his deep eyes, saying “Alright.”

His response left Anastasia with a weird feeling.
