The Bound Between Us

Chapter 364

Chapter 364

Gianna couldn’t help but steal a glance, quickly averting her eyes in fear of being noticed.

Once Anastasia had finished eating, Herman cleared the table, saying, “I’m going to take out the trash. You two chat. I’ve got you a glass of water. Remember to drink it.”

Anastasia smiled. “Alright.”

Herman took the leftovers out to the garbage to avoid any lingering smells in the room. Anastasia was particularly sensitive to smells lately, easily prone to nausea and vomiting.

After Herman left, Cynthia, with a sour tone, said, “Anastasia, aren’t you lucky? To have a man like Mr. Salstrom, who is not only a public Company executive but also takes care of you personally.”

Herman’s social status was so high that Cynthia didn’t dare to act superior in front of him, always respectfully referring to him as Mr. Salstrom.

Herman didn’t say much, but his aura alone was enough to make most people feel quite intimidated. People couldn’t help but hold him in high regard.

Anastasia chuckled and said, “He prefers to do things himself. Cynthia, Gianna, please have a seat. Gianna, I’ve got the design for your coffee shop sorted out. I’ll send it to you tomorrow after I leave the hospital.”

“Thank you,” Gianna said as she sat down. “Take your time.”

Cynthia stared at Anastasia’s belly and said, “Anastasia, you’re carrying the first child of the Salstrom family. If it’s a boy, it’ll be a big deal.”

Anastasia smiled lightly. “It doesn’t matter whether it’s a boy or a girl.”

Cynthia said, “It does matter. In these prominent families, boys are especially valued. If you have a girl, they’ll definitely want you to try again. Just wait and see. Your mother-in-law will definitely want a grandson.”

Gianna frowned. “Mom, why are you saying these things?”

Anastasia said, “Cynthia, my in-laws have no such thoughts. My mother-in-law visited me this morning and said she hopes it’s a girl. The Salstrom family is dominated by men, so she loves the idea of having a little girl around.”

“Those are just words…” Cynthia began, but was interrupted by the arrival of Salma and Pattie.
