Chapter 101
Herman frowned, and Collin added. If the girl is a stunner, Iâm worried she might pop up any moment like a ticking time bombâ
âIâm a married man now Herman clarified. âI donât remember anything from that night, and even if something did happen, I only have one wife
This piqued Collinâs curiosity, and he asked, âWhatâs your wife like that youâre so devoted?â
Herman smiled and said, âSheâs like a fairyâ
Collin joked, âMan, love really does change people. Youâre all mushy and romantic,
On his way to work, Herman had comprehended the matter of Anastasiaâs purity.
Over the month, he had realized that he had grown accustomed to Anastasiaâs presence. He was ready to accept her past and embrace her future.
At that moment, Nelson walked in with a milkshake and said, âMr. Salstrom, your takeout.â
Herman responded softly as Nelson carefully placed the milkshake on the table.
Collin was taken aback, Herman, when did you start liking these girly drinks?â
Collin never drank milkshakes.
Herman proudly answered, âMy wife likes them.â
He meant that he liked what his wife liked, a joy that those without a wife would not understand.
Collin fell silent.
Nelson was stifling his laughter.
Herman took a sip of the milkshake and asked seriously, âNelson, howâs the Ledford family doing?â
Nelson immediately wiped his smile, âKenny has taken his son to find Anastasia. Do you want to check on them?â
What if the Ledford family continued to cause trouble?
âNo need.â Herman scoffed. âKenny knows what to do.â
With that, Herman stood up, with milkshake in one hand, the other in his pocket, and walked out
Collin was dumbstruck. Where had the usually domineering CEO gone?
Did having a milkshake, no, a wife, mean he no longer cared about his image?
Collin caught up to him, âHerman, where are you going? Letâs play some ball?â
Herman replied. âNo time.â
âWhatâs so important? Canât anyone else take care of the company? What use are they then?â
Tm going to buy a gift for my wife.â Herman had become a man obsessed with his wife, always talking about her.
He had noticed Anastasiaâs unease in the morning and decided to buy her a gift to soothe her
âHerman, just because you have a wife now doesnât mean you can ditch your friends.â Collin felt hurt. He turned to Nelson and said, âGet me a milkshake. I want to see what it tastes like.â
Nelson chuckled and reminded, âMr. Witt, Mr. Salstrom is getting away.â
By the time he bought the milkshake, Mr. Salstrom would be gone.
Annoyed, Collin quickly went after Herman, saying, âWhere do you get your milkshakes? Iâll get my own.â
Meanwhile, Anastasia, clutching her personal belongings, had just walked downstairs when she ran into Blake and Kenny, who had come to apologize. Blake couldnât walk, so Kenny had him carried.
The Ledford familyâs driver, assistant, and bodyguards carrying Blake made for quite the entourage.
Kenny seemed anxious, knowing that every minute was money and a slight delay could result in a significant stock decline.
However, to Anastasia, Kennyâs anxiety felt like oppression.
Seeing Blake being carried over, she tensed up, thinking they were there to hold her accountable.
Blake pointed at Anastasia and said, âDad, thatâs Anastasiaâ
Kennyâs gaze locked onto Anastasia as he ordered his bodyguards to take Blake towards her, and he quickly approached Anastasia.
