Chapter 275

Anastasia thought this time she handled the situation the right way. Any other person might have started a quarrel right after checking into the hotel. Whether the person was found or not didn’t matter. Because they had some untouched photo evidence..

Herman stood there, saying, ” I’ll definitely carry out my wife’s orders. I won’t let you down.”

Anastasia laughed, “Then I’m off to take a bath and pack stuff up. After dinner, we can head back to Riverdale. I need to be at the office tomorrow.”

“Sure thing, babe, you go freshen up.” Herman said.

While Anastasia was in the shower, Herman ordered Nelson to head back first.

After all these moves from Julie, Herman thought it was about time to sit down with the executive director of the Brown Corporation for a good chat.

After Anastasia finished bathing, they got dressed and left the hotel. Anastasia took one last look at the hotel and casually remarked, “Your company’s business trip benefits are pretty sweet, even got to stay in the presidential suite.” She had noticed on the first night that this room was the best in the hotel. It had a great view, nice environment, and top-notch facilities.

Without any guilt, Herman said, “Actually, I was supposed to be on this trip with the president of Elysian Technologies. The company booked this room for him, but he couldn’t make it last minute, so I got lucky.”

“Oh, I see.” Anastasia laughed, “Well, aren’t you a lucky duck. You and your boss must be tight, huh? Last time you two were on a plane together, this time sharing a ‘hotel room.”

“Emm, it’s okay.” Herman laughed, “The boss really looks after us employees. This kind of money is nothing to him.”

Anastasia asked curiously, “Have you ever met the boss lady of Elysian Technologies?”

“Yeah.” Herman praised, “I saw her from afar once. She’s really beautiful. She has flawless skin, and she is tall and slender, with exceptional temperament.”

Anastasia gave him a cold look. He was praising another woman right in front of her?

Herman quickly wrapped an arm around Anastasia’s shoulder and corrected himself, “But she’s still not as beautiful as my wife. You’re the best.”

Anastasia snorted, a small smile tugging at her mouth. Considering Herman’s sweet talk, she decided to let it slide.

After lunch, they returned to Riverdale together. This time they took a plane, and it was only an hour and a half to Riverdale. As soon as Anastasia entered the house, Pattie ran over excitedly, saying, “Mommy and daddy are back, grandma!” Pattie was so happy, she was jumping up and down on the spot.

When Herman entered the house, he picked up Pattie, “Baby girl, did you miss daddy?”

Herman really treated Pattie as his own daughter; every gesture came from the heart. Seeing Pattie’s happy face made him happy too.

Pattie said joyfully, “I miss daddy.”

Anastasia laughed and asked, “What about me, did you miss me?”

“I miss mommy too, miss both mommy and daddy.” Pattie’s words were so sweet.

Anastasia laughed and glanced at Herman, “This kid is sweet talker. She doesn’t offend anyone.”

Herman grinned. Anastasia gave Pattie the Pikachu toy they brought back, “This is a gift from mommy and daddy, do you like it?”

“I do, wow, it’s so cute.” Pattie hugged Pikachu tightly and gave it a kiss on the face.

Salma came out of her room and saw the three of them playing happily together; they looked just like a real family. She smiled and said, “You’re back.”

“Mom, how’s your leg feeling?” Anastasia asked as she walked over, “You should get more rest.”

Salma replied, “Feels much better. In another week, I won’t need the crutch. It’s already afternoon. I’m going to buy groceries for dinner.”

“Let me do it.” Herman said, “I’ll go in a bit.”

Herman knew the local market well, and Pattie wanted to go too, so they left together. Pattie put on her shoes and followed Herman out. And after they left, Salma turned to Anastasia with a smile, “Herman is very patient with children. Pattie really likes him. The whole time you were gone these last couple of days, Pattie kept asking me when you were coming back. Now Pattie is like one of us.”

Anastasia also noticed that Pattie was very dependent on Herman, “With Pattie, our home feels more complete.”

“Yes.” Salma sighed, “A family needs children as a bridge to make the relationship between husband and wife last longer. Children also need guidance from their father, so they can be more confident. Isn’t that what parenting experts say? They say that the companionship of parents is the best education for children.”

Anastasia felt there was more to Salma’s words, she asked, “Mom, what are you trying to say? Did Tavon contact you again?”
