Chapter 334
As Anastasia hesitated, she met the curious gaze of Salma. “The doctor said it would be difficult for me
to conceive.” She confessed.
“What?” Salma’splexion turned pale, “Why would it be difficult for you to conceive?”
Anastasia exined, “The car ident a while back injured my back. When I had my first child,
complications arose, making it hard for me to get pregnant again.”
Salma was immediately worried, “Does your husband know?”
In most marriages, the absence of a child was often a problem. A marriage couldn’t be solidified by
merely adopting a child. Love and novelty often faded in marriage, leaving the children as the bond that
held the family together.
Anastasia nodded, “He knows. I’ve told him about it, and he doesn’t mind.” She didn’t mention
Herman’s infertility, considering it was a matter of man’s dignity. Even to her mother, it was hard to
bring up.
“But what about the future?” Salma fretted, “You guys are newlyweds now, so it’s easy to say such
things. But as age grows, especially for men, they’ll want a child of their own. The Salstrom family is a
big and influential one, your husband won’t be able to not want a child of his own, and your inws
won’t agree either. Look at what happened to Gianna.”

Salma’s worry for her daughter’s marriage was palpable. A marriage without childrencked security
and assurance, Gianna’s marriage had broken down after eight years of childlessness. That was the
biggest reason for the copse.
Anastasia grew anxious at her mother’s words. What if Herman’s infertility was cured and he wanted a
child of his own? She didn’t dare to think deeper, “Mom, Herman won’t, I trust him.
We have Pattie.”
“But Pattie isn’t your biological child.” Salma sighed, deciding to find some home remedies that could
help Anastasia to conceive.
Anastasia didn’t know how to respond to her mother. Even if there came a day when their paths
diverged, she couldn’t stop it. For now, she and Herman were childless, and there was no point
worrying about things that hadn’t happened yet.
The annual celebration dinner started at seven in the evening. Herman arranged for a professional
makeup team for Anastasia. At half-past six, he picked up Anastasia and they arrived at the hotel
where the dinner was being held.
The soiree was filled with elite personalities from the industry, as well as top executives from Elysian
Technologies. Herman chose to bring Anastasia to such an important event, intending to introduce her
to everyone and assert that he was a taken man.
While waiting for the dinner to start, Anastasia was in the back room resting, while Herman was out
front entertaining the guests.
Katelyn had taken Salma and Pattie to the front hall, with Feiman and Flynn arriving early as the hosts.
Victor, Christine, and Lauren had also arrived. On such an important day, Anastasia had invited Monica
too.
Anastasia was able to watch the dinner through a live broadcast on the TV in the rest room. The annual
celebration dinner was being broadcasted live. Elysian Technologies had invited numerous celebrities
for performances, including top singers.
Anastasia was somewhat nervous, as she was supposed to make her appearance when Herman
introduced her to everyone. This was her first time attending such arge-scale dinner and she was so
nervous she was sweating.
“Ana.” Monica came looking for her, pushed the door open and eximed, “Ana, you look stunning
today. I almost didn’t recognize you. You’re going to outshine all the other women here. After tonight,
you’ll be the envy of women all around the world.”
Anastasia smiled, “As long as they don’t hate me. Monica, I’m nervous.”
Monica advised, “Take a deep breath. Remember when you were the host of the cultural festival in
college? Just imagine it’s like that. Besides, you’ve got Herman controlling the room. All you have to do
is look beautiful.”
