    Chapter 285


    Anastasia shot Herman a smile and said modestly, “He only knows how to cook simple dishes. You


    guys start eating. I’m gonna go next door to check if the kiddo is up yet. I gotta head to schoolter.”


    Just as Anastasia was about to stand up, Herman said, “I’ll go. You guys eat.” Without Anastasia


    present, sitting down to eat with Gianna made him feel somewhat


    ufortable.


    Anastasia didn’t think much of it and said, “Then bring her clothes over there. Get her dressed before


    bringing her back, so she won’t catch a cold.”

    “Sure.” Herman proficiently went to the kids’ room to grab her clothes and headed next door to


    Katelyn’s.


    Looking at how Anastasia was directing Herman and how’systematic he was, Gianna felt envious


    again. “Your husband really listens to you. He even knows where the kids’ clothes are. I’ve been with


    Joey for so many years, and he even needs me to find his own clothes and socks. If I’m not at home,


    he’ll just call his mom.”


    Seeing Gianna repeatedly mention Joey, Anastasia asked, “You still can’t let him go?”


    “It’s not like that.” Gianna said sarcastically, “Compared to you, I now realize how messed up my


    marriage has been for the past eight years. I heard from your mom that you guys met on a dating


    website?”


    “That’s right.” Anastasia said, “My mom was pretty desperate at that time. She registered me on the


    dating site and pushed me going on blind dates. On the tenth date, I met Herman. We got our marriage


    license that same day.”


    Thinking back to the day they got their harriage license, Anastasia felt like it was ages ago. Time flew.


    They’d been married for several months now, going from mutual respect to inseparable.


    “That’s really nice.” Gianna said, her eyes filled with envy.


    “By the way, I thought of something. You can start by investigating Joey’s work. He must have done


    some shady things over the years. Whether or not you can find any evidence of his wrongdoings, that’s


    up to you.” Anastasia didn’t directly say that this was Herman’s suggestion because if the n failed,


    she was worried that Gianna would me Herman.


    Nowadays, even if you were close, it was not good to help blindly. When the help was sessful,


    everyone was happy. But if there was even a slight problem, it could lead toints. This was why


    Anastasia previously chose not to intervene.


    “Okay, thanks.” Gianna said, “I’ll give it a try.”


    In the middle of their conversation, Herman returned with Pattie, who was already dressed. Pattie was


    in Herman’s arms and called out happily when she saw Anastasia, “Mommy.”


    “Youzy bum, the sun’s almost at its peak.” Anastasia pinched Pattie’s nose with a smile, creating a


    peaceful family scene.


    “I’llb your hair. Come on, your dad needs to have breakfast.” Anastasia took Pattie from Herman’s


    arms.


    “I like it when Mommybs my hair. Daddy’s is too ugly.” Pat?ie said.

    Herman said with indulgence, “Still finding fault with the way Ib your hair. These hands are only for


    holding your mom. I won’t hold you anymore then.”


    Pattie stuck out her tongue, “No, I want Daddy to hold me. Mommy is not strong enough.”


    This kid even knew how to take care of Anastasia.


    Under thepanionship of Anastasia and Herman, Pattie had be more lively and smart, liked to


    talk, and had be a little chatterbox.


    Anastasia said to Pattie with a smile, “My care for you has not been in vain. In the future, when you


    have difficulties or need help, go to your dad, okay?”


    Pattie nodded with a smile, “Yes.”


    Anastasia wasbing Pattie’s hair on the living room sofa, while Herman was having breakfast. Their


    family interaction was ongoing. Although Gianna also wanted to join their conversation, she never got


    the chance and could only eat silently.


    Anastasia asked Herman, “Why didn’t you invite Katelyn to eat?”


    “She’s still sleeping.” Herman replied, “No need to disturb her. For her, what to eat is not important,


    what’s important is having enough sleep. She always says that a woman’s beautyes from her


    sleep.”


    Hearing Herman’s words, Anastasia didn’t bother Katelyn anymore.


    After breakfast, Gianna tactfully left. Anastasia and Herman went to school with Pattie, who got to


    experience the joy of having both parents drop her off at school. On the way to school, Pattie happily


    began to sing.
