The Bound Between Us

Chapter 429

Herman walked in, with a cool aloofness in his stance. Grannie Anita was tensed up at his presence.

She even didn’t dare to look at him directly, let alone greet him with her usual warmth.

Everyone knew how much Grannie Anita adored her grandson, Herman. Feiman, noticing Grannie

Anita avoiding Herman’s gaze and hearing Herman’s stern tone, immediately guessed that something

was amiss.

Grannie Anita had stirred up trouble again.

Herman approached Grannie Anita. Looking down at her with a cold stare, he asked, “Dear

Grandmother, please tell me, what exactly are you up to?” His formal address to her indicated the

gravity of the situation.

Grannie Anita, feeling guilty, lowered her gaze and started fiddling with her fingers. She couldn’t help

but sneak glances at Herman from the corner of her eyes.

Herman’s expression was icy, and for the first time, Feiman saw him using such a tone with Grannie

Anita. Feiman intervened, “Herman, that’s not the right way to speak to Grandma…”

Then Feiman turned to Grannie Anita, “Mom, what have you done now?”

Grannie Anita, feigning illness, placed a hand on her head. “Oh my, my head is throbbing. Feiman, help

me to my room. I need to lie down.”

Realizing Grannie Anita was faking and fearful of a confrontation, Feiman prepared to assist her

upstairs.

Herman then spoke sternly, “Grandma, it seems you didn’t take my words to heart. Let me repeat

myself. If you dare to meddle with my marriage to Anastasia again, I, Herman, will disown you as my

grandmother.”

His casual tone belied the harshness of his words, leaving Grannie Anita and Feiman- stunned.

Grannie Anita, shocked and heartbroken, stared at Herman. She stood up. Her frail body was

trembling. Tears welled up in her eyes as she said, “Herman, I’m your grandmother. I raised you. When

you were sick and refused to take your medicine, I comforted you, and I fed you. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

you. When you had a fever, I stayed up for two nights straight. When you were learning to walk, I held

your hand, afraid you might fall. When you fell into the pond as a child, I jumped in to save you…”

As she spoke, tears fell from her eyes.

Feiman quickly signaled Herman, “Apologize to Grandma. That’s not the right way to talk to her.”

Of course, Herman had no intentions of disowning Grannie Anita. However, he needed her to

understand the consequences of her actions. Grannie Anita had been causing too much trouble, and if

this continued, his marriage to Anastasia would definitely be affected.

Herman, expressionless, said, “Grandma, I appreciate everything you’ve done for me, but that doesn’t

give you the right to interfere in my marriage. I’ve already warned you that Anastasia’s pregnancy is

delicate. I asked you to show some empathy. Even if you don’t like her, at least respect her. But what

did you do yesterday?”

Herman’s penetrating gaze made Grannie Anita look away guiltily.

Katelyn, hearing the commotion from upstairs, came down. Upon hearing Herman’s words, she quickly

walked over. “What’s going on? Herman, why are you speaking to Grandma like this? She’s accepted

Anastasia now. She even personally poured her a glass of water as an apology yesterday.”

Ignoring Katelyn’s words, Herman continued to question Grannie Anita. His tone was icy, “You’ve been

asking Nelson about my whereabouts. You arranged for me to stay in room. 1122, and you had

aphrodisiac candles lit in there. Grandma, did you ever consider Anastasia, who is carrying my child,

when you were plotting against me? Do you realize the impact your actions could have on my

marriage?”

Feiman and Katelyn were taken aback. Katelyn asked, “What aphrodisiac candles? What’s this about

room 1122? Herman, what’s going on?”

Unable to withstand the questioning, Grannie Anita blurted out, “I arranged it all. I wanted to match you

with Julie. I did it for your sake, Herman. I didn’t do anything wrong. I was trying to help you. The baby

that Anastasia is carrying isn’t yours.”
