The Bound Between Us

Chapter 344

Anastasia was ravenous, yet she had no desire for any kind of food. Even the smell of strong flavors caused a nauseous sensation, making her want to vomit. Anastasia attributed it to her nerves, telling Herman, “I need to find a place to rest.”

“Sure.” Herman led Anastasia to a rest area.

After sitting down, Anastasia still felt a bit queasy, “I need some lemonade.” For some reason, she craved something tart, as if her stomach was still feeling greasy.

“Okay, I’ll get it for you.” Herman went to the beverages area to fetch the lemonade.

Anastasia took out her phone from her purse to call Salma. She hadn’t seen Salma and Pattie after stepping off the stage, which made her worried. After the call, she learned that Salma had taken Pattie to the restroom, and Anastasia felt relieved.

Just as she ended the call, Lauren and other socialites she had met at the reception came over.

“Mrs. Salstrom, you were absolutely stunning today.” These socialites had sharp eyes, and they no longer dared to call her by her first name.

“I’m telling you, even as a woman, I was absolutely captivated by Mrs. Salstrom.”

“Mr. Salstrom is truly a lucky man.”
