Chapter 235

Herman had already planned everything out and prepared in advance. He had turned the study into a children’s room in their three-bedroom house, with the second bedroom just perfect for Salma.

Salma was pleased with Herman’s arrangements and thanked him, “Herman, you’ve really done a lot.” To be honest, Salma felt a bit sheepish because she hadn’t told Herman about Anastasia’s secret right from the start.

Herman smiled, “We’re all family here.” Then he squatted down next to Pattie and asked, “Pattie, what’s your favorite color?”

Pattie thought for a moment and said in a tender voice, “Pink.”

Herman chuckled, gave Pattie’s head a little pat, and half an hour later, the workers arrived. They were super quick and turned the study into a dreamy children’s room in just an hour. As per Pattie’s request, the room was decked out in pink, looking just like a castle. Pink curtains and carpet, white drapes, and loads of Barbie dolls and toys that girls love.

Herman took Pattie into the room, “Do you like it?”

Pattie was in disbelief. She had her own room and so many toys. Penny had never bought her any toys before, and she was always envious of others. Once, she asked Penny for a toy and got a beating for it, so she never dared to ask again. After starting school, Pattie saw other kids with toys and Barbies, and she was green with envy.
