    Chapter 45


    Ms. Katelyn, howe you know so much about Herman’s childhood?” Anastasia asked with a


    puzzled expression.


    Katelyn suddenly felt a surge of nervousness, realizing she had bbered too much.


    With an awkwardugh, Katelyn exined, “Oh, it’s all from chats I had with Herman’s mom. You know


    how it is when women get together, we just can’t stop yapping about our kids. That’s how I know so


    much”


    “Ah, gotcha “Anastasia found the exnation reasonable.


    Seizing the opportunity, Katelyn nudged, “Ana, you and Herman should think about having a kid of your


    own. Everything changes once you have a child, men tend to be more tied to the family, and feel


    more responsible.”


    Considering she and Herman were still sleeping in separate rooms, Anastasia didn’t feel the rush to


    have a baby.


    “Ms. Katelyn, I know you mean well, but we don’t want to rush things,” Anastasia replied.


    Katelyn bluntly asked, “Are you two still sleeping in separate rooms?”


    The question made Anastasia a bit awkward.


    Holding Anastasia’s hand, Katelyn said with seriousness, Ana, Herman’s a good catch, you should hold


    onto him tight. Men of the Salstrom family are super loyal in marriage. As long as you and Herman are


    solid, you’ll have a good life ahead. I only see you as Herman’s wife.”


    Anastasia felt moved by Katelyn’s approval


    “Ms. Katelyn, I…” Anastasia was about to speak when her phone suddenly rang.


    She quickly washed her hands and answered the call.


    It was from Elysian Technologies HR department, “Is this Ms. Anastasia? This is HR from Elysian


    Technologies. Congrattions, you’ve passed the interview. Please bring your medical report and


    come for the onboarding process as soon as possible.”


    The news left Anastasia somewhat dazed. After verifying the caller’s identity, she kept thanking them


    on the phone.


    After hanging up, she was still in a bit of a daze.


    “Ana, what happened?” Katelyn asked curiously.


    “Ms. Katelyn, I passed the interview. Elysian Technologies just called me toplete the hiring


    process.” Anastasia pped her face and said, “I really made it. I thought I had no chance.”


    She had been humiliated by the interviewer during the interview and had lost hope.


    This call was definitely a pleasant surprise for her.


    “Really?” Katelyn was delighted to hear that Anastasia was joining their family business. It seemed


    Anastasia still held a significant ce in her sons heart, otherwise, she wouldn’t have been arranged to


    join the family’spany


    Anastasia quickly shared this good news with Herman and also texted Monica.


    Everyone but Anastasia knew this was a sure thing and hence weren’t surprised.


    Upon hearing Anastasia had to get a medical check–up the next day, Monica got a bit nervous and


    offered to apany Anastasia to the hospital.


    Meanwhile, Herman had dinner n that evening. He texted Anastasia to have dinner alone without


    waiting for him.


    Anastasia and Katelyn made a lot of dishes. Hearing Herman wasn’ting home for dinner, she felt a


    bit down,


    But Anastasia didn’t show it. Knowing Herman was busy, she and Katelyn had dinner and watched TV


    together until 10 pm when Katelyn went back to her ce


    Herman didn’te home until 11 pm. By the time he got back, Anastasia was already asleep.


    There was a piece of watermelon on the table with a sticky note that read, “Remember to eat the


    watermelon, or it won’t be fresh tomorrow.”


    Herman picked up the note, a small smile ying on his lips.


    He had already eaten dinner and wasn’t really hungry. But seeing the note and the smiley face on it, he


    obediently sat down and ate the watermelon.


    After eating the watermelon, Herman felt a bit bloated and soon started feeling ufortable. His


    stomach was upset.


    That night, Herman didn’t know how many times he ran to the bathroom. He became a bit weak and


    found some medicine in the early morning before falling asleep on the living room couch


    The next morning, when Anastasia came out of her room and saw Herman sleeping on the couch, she


    was surprised.This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.


    Seeing that Herman was still sleeping, she tiptoed over. This was the first time she saw this man


    sleeping.


    His handsome face exuded a cold aura, thick eyebrows, tall nose, slightly closed thin lips, every detail


    was striking.


    Anastasia couldn’t resist the urge to touch his nose. Suddenly, Herman’s eyes shot open, and their


    eyes met.
