    Suburban Neighborhood.


    Herman took Anastasia to their new house. They crossed the front yard hand in hand, through the


    grand foyer, and up to the second floor. Looking around the extravagant mansion, Anastasia asked,


    “Why does this ce look different from thest time we were here?”


    “I had it renovated.” Herman replied, “I nned for us to move in right after our anniversary


    celebration.”


    Herman led her upstairs into the master bedroom, and gently asked, “Would you like to take a bath


    first?”


    A bath would certainly help to ease any tension.


    Sitting on the plush king-sized bed, Anastasia looked at him, her voiceced with suspicion, “Tell me


    the truth, Herman. Did you deceive me? Can you actually have children? Did you lie to me because


    you knew I’m infertile?”


    “That’s all in the past now.” Herman said, sitting beside her. His hands were gently holding her


    shoulders. “You’re my wif; Pattie is our daughter. That’s all that matters. Don’t overthink it.” Herman


    said.

    Anastasia shook her head, “Herman, it’s not as simple as you think. Your parents and your


    grandmother, they all know I can’t bear children. They won’t ept me. Things can never be the way


    they were.”


    “I’ll handle it.” Herman said, tenderly brushing a stray lock of hair from her face, “You married me.


    These are my responsibilities, not yours. I should have taken care of it sooner.”


    Touched by his words, Anastasia flung herself into Herman’s arms. In a fit of anger, she punched his


    chest, “Why are you so kind, Herman? So kind that I don’t have the courage to leave you. You


    shouldn’t havee after me.”


    With a warm smile, Herman caught her hand, “Anastasia, being unable to bear children is not a big


    deal. The Salstrom family already has Flynn to carry on the lineage. And who says everyone has to be


    the same? Who made the rule that marriage must result in children?”


    Knowing his words were mostly tofort her, she had no idea how to argue. “But your parents and


    your grandmother, they don’t think the same way. Neither do I.” Anastasia sat upright, looking at him, “I


    really, really want to have a child of our own.”


    When people truly loved someone, they yearned to conceive a child together and to watch them grow


    from birth..


    Hermanforted her with a smile, “Medical technology is so advanced now. If you want a baby, once


    your health recovers, we can opt for IVF. It’s all the same. So, it’s not a problem at all.”


    Due to the car ident, Anastasia’s health was severelypromised. Even if she wanted a child, it


    couldn’t be now.


    The mention of IVF reignited hope in Anastasia. Her heart wasn’t as heavy as before. “They’re right. I


    must have saved the universe in my past life to have you.” She said.


    Heughed, “Maybe I owe you a lot from our past lives, and I’m repaying you in this one. Don’t take


    Grandma’s words to heart. She’s always been stubborn, and she hasn’t gotten along with my mom for


    over twenty years now.”


    “Herman, you’re too good.” Anastasia praised sincerely from the bottom of her heart. A man who could


    comfort his wife at the first instance was definitely a good husband.


    He chuckled, “Only now you’re realizing how good your husband is? Who else wouldfort you if not


    me? Unless it reaches the point of divorce, a man should be prepared to indulge and pacify his wife. Or


    else conflicts would hurt the marital rtionship, and I’d still have to pacify you in the end. Isn’t that


    redundant?”


    “You’re so wise.” Anastasia gazed at him, passionately kissed his lips, and started unfastening his belt.
