Chapter 435


    Chapter 435


    In his casual loungewear, Herman exuded an air of refined elegance. He was holding a cup of coffee in


    one hand, and answering calls in the other hand. His tall and


    gaze.


    Gianna watched him, with a sense of satisfaction welling up inside her.


    At that moment, Katie ascended the stairs to bring Herman some pastries. Gianna, with a smile, took


    them from Katie’s hands. “I’ll take these in, Katie. You go attend to other things.”


    Katie was a bit hesitant, but given that Gianna was Anastasia’s cousin, she didn’t voice any objections.


    “Alright, Miss. Thank you,” Katie said with a smile, before leaving.


    Holding the pastries, Gianna adjusted her appearance before entering the room. “Mr. Salstrom, how


    about some refreshments?”


    Gianna rarely considered Herman to be her cousin’s husband, for she didn’t acknowledge him as such


    in her heart.


    Noticing it was Gianna who brought the pastries, Herman ended his call. His brow furrowed, and he


    said, “Katie could have attended to this.”


    “Katie had other tasks to do, so I brought them in,” Gianna found an excuse. “Mr. Salstrom, you seem


    quite busy. I was hoping to ask you about running a café. I’ve never been in business before and

    thought I could learn a thing or two from you. My café’s profit is about $10000 per day, but I feel it


    could do better.”


    Gianna simply wanted to spend more time with Herman, alone. She spoke of a daily profit of


    $10000 as if it was insufficient, but her eyes sought his approval, because making $10000 per day was


    already quite an achievement.


    Herman remained expressionless. His tone was polite, “I’m not particrly


    knowledgeable about running a café. I can arrange for our marketing manager to draft a strategy for


    you. You can discuss it together.”


    “… Alright, thank you!” Gianna’s face registered mild embarrassment.


    Seeing that Gianna had no intention of leaving, Herman said bluntly, “Gianna, I’m still working.”


    Gianna understood what he meant – he was asking her to leave. Her face flushed with embarrassment,


    and she said, “I won’t disturb you further.”


    The man who was so gentle with Anastasia had a no-nonsense attitude when dealing with her.


    Gianna stood in the hallway, ncing at her reflection in the mirror. She had spent a lot on skincare


    recently, resulting in smooth and glowing skin, but a woman’s age could be discerned from her eyes.


    She was in her thirties. No matter how much she took care of herself, people could tell from her eyes


    that she was not a little girl in her twenties anymore.


    “Gianna.” Anastasia, heavily pregnant, ascended the stairs in search of Gianna.


    Due to the increased hormonal activity during pregnancy, Anastasia’s skin looked radiant and soft, with


    a rosy glow. Even without makeup, she looked incredibly attractive.


    Sunlight poured in through the window, bathing Anastasia in a soft, ethereal glow. A gentle breeze


    tugged at her long hair, creating a breathtaking tableau.


    Gianna blurted out, “No wonder Herman can’t resist you when you’re pregnant.” Who could resist such


    a beautiful woman?


    There was something incredibly alluring about Anastasia in her pregnant state. It wasn’t just men who


    were drawn in. Even women found it hard not to take a second nce. Beautiful things were always a


    ma for attention.


    Anastasia blushed. “Gianna,e on.”


    Gianna put on a teasing air. “You’re pregnant. You should be careful. Don’t hurt the baby. Have you


    guys stopped… you know… since you got pregnant?”


    This made Anastasia even more embarrassed but in front of a woman, she didn’t hold back. “During


    the first trimester, the baby is fragile. Now it’s a bit more stable, but we still have to be careful. We just


    kiss a little, to satisfy our cravings.”.


    Even this small “craving” was enough to make Gianna green with envy. Being held by such an


    exceptional man, sharing tender moments in bed, what a blissful experience that must be.


    Gianna almost let her emotions show on her face. She turned away, and with an uneasy expression,


    said, “Yes, you should be careful.”
