    Herman’s tender care and sweet words were really making Anastasia squirm. How could she tell him


    and exin that she had a child?


    Owned by N?velDrama.Org.


    Their first time, she was scared Herman would get the wrong idea. But there was no misunderstanding,


    she had a child before, so how


    could it be her first time?


    The more Anastasia thought about it, the more ufortable and guilty she felt, and not to mention


    the guilt she felt for the child she


    never met.


    Herman noticed something was off with Anastasia. Frowning, he asked, “Did Tavone knocking on


    your door again?”


    Anastasia turned around, closed her eyes, and tightly hugged Herman, trying hard to steady her voice,


    “No, I’m just tired. I need to rest for a while. I’ll be fine once I wake up.”


    Herman knew it was a lie, but he didn’t push it.


    “Alright, rest well. I’ll do some work in the next room.” He said.


    He was deliberately giving her some space. Right now, Anastasia really needed a quiet ce to let her


    feelings out.


    In the study room.


    Herman was sitting in front of hisputer, thinking about Anastasia’s unusual behavior when Flynn


    called, “I can’t handle the head of Unity Bank. We need you to step in.”


    “Alright.” Herman replied in a deep voice, “Let Nelson arrange it. I’ll meet with the him tonight.”


    Flynn had his limits; most people only cooperated with them because of Herman. Herman was the


    backbone of thepany.


    After the call, Herman told Anastasia he had to go out. Anastasia was left alone at home. The quiet


    environment made her mind wander, and she even thought about divorcing Herman.


    She couldn’t bear children anymore, so she couldn’t keep dragging Herman down. She also couldn’t


    ignore the child she brought into this world. She had to take responsibility.


    She didn’t even know who the father of the child was. What if he showed up one day?


    She couldn’t keep lying to Herman forever. She couldn’t let him bear the consequences of her


    mistakes.


    Anastasia quickly came to a decision. She once told Herman that honesty was the foundation of a


    marriage. If she lied today, she would inevitably tell countless more lies to keep the secret. When the


    lies piled up, marriage lost its meaning.


    Anastasia sat up. She had made up her mind to confess to Herman when the time was right. As for the


    matter of Salma abandoning her child, she would ask Salma about it in detail once Salma recovered.


    What she needed to do now was to find Monica and learn more about the past. Now that she knew


    about the child, there was nothing to run from. She had to face her past bravely.


    Anastasia called Monica, “Monica, let’s have dinner tonight, the usual ce.”


    Monica felt a sense of unease when she received the call. Anastasia’s tone was never like this when


    she invited her to dinner. Something was definitely off.


    Salma was still in the hospital, and Anastasia had just been discharged. Monica was uneasy about


    having dinner at this time.


    At seven in the evening, Jenny’s ce.


    Anastasia had already ordered the food and wine, waiting for Monica.


    When Monica arrived in her BMW and saw the wine on the table, she felt a bit nervous. “Ana, you just


    got out of the hospital. How can you drink?”


    “Sit down.” Anastasia didn’t continue that topic but opened a bottle of wine in front of Monica, “I have


    some things to ask you. We’ve known each other for so many years. You know me best.
