Chapter 250
Anastasia had been feeling super down and insecure for quite a while because of what happened four
years ago. Actually, that issue should have been dealt with and solved pronto. Even if Herman couldn’t
swallow it in the end, they should have broken up amicably. If she continued to feel this way in her
marriage, it would not do either of them any good. A marriage built on lies would not last long but just
suck them deeper.
Having said all that, Anastasia spoke up, “Herman, I’m really sorry. I’ve been hiding something from
you. The kid, my mom abandoned her a long time ago. I just remembered it recently and I decided to
find her and fulfill my responsibilities. I know it’s a tough pill to swallow, but I had to spit it out. I didn’t
want you to hear it from someone else. So I…”
He chimed in before she could finish, “So you..

Anastasia looked at him and nodded, “Whatever decision you make, I’ll roll with it. If anyone else was
in your shoes, they wouldn’t accept it either. Finding out their wife used to be pregnant.”
He gently cut her off, “I already knew about this.”
She was taken aback, “How did you find out?”
“Cason came to me.” Herman confessed, “He tried to blackmail me with this, but I turned the tables and
got him thrown in jail.” He said it with such ease, as though sending someone to jail was as easy as
having a meal.
He already knew about the secret she had always struggled to share, and he had continued to love her
deeply. Anastasia remembered what Monica had once said, that Cason was sentenced for blackmail.
She never thought it had anything to do with Herman. “Why didn’t you ever mention this to me?”
Anastasia asked.
He replied, “It’s a small matter, no need to stress you out.”
A small matter? The thing she had been so scared of, was just a small matter to him?
“You don’t mind?” Anastasia asked, somewhat in disbelief.
He held her hands and said lovingly, “I don’t mind. It’s your past. I just regret not meeting you sooner.
You’re the wife, pursued with all my might, and if you leave, I’d have nowhere to even cry out. So, stop
thinking about divorce. You’re stuck with me for life.”
Herman indeed went through a lot to win her over. However, for Anastasia, his words seemed like a
joke. Anastasia was moved to tears by he was saying, “Herman, why are you so good to me? I’m not
worthy of your kindness.”
He smiled, saying, “You’re one of a kind. Stop putting yourself down.”
He then turned serious and said, “Anastasia, I won’t lie to you. I was quite shocked when I first heard
about this, but I know you didn’t mean to deceive me. You’re my chosen wife; I wouldn’t make a wrong

“Herman.” Anastasia was crying tears of joy; she was at a loss for words.
“You dummy.” Herman wiped her tears away, “You’ve been bottling this up for so long. You must feel
better now,that it’s out, right?” Anastasia gave a helpless smile, “You knew what was on my mind all
along, but you kept silent, Herman, you’re such a jerk.”
She playfully punched him a few times. He caught her hand and held it in his, his eyes twinkling with
amusement, “It’s all because you women are too sensitive. Anyway, you’re my wife now, and you just
agreed, we’re not getting divorced. We’re in this for the long haul.”
“Herman.” Anastasia glared at him in mock anger, “You jerk.”
He leaned down and kissed her. His kiss was so gentle, it was the sweetest taste in the world. They
seemed to forget everything else, completely oblivious to the fact that Pattie, who was in the hospital
bed, had woken up. Seeing her parents kissing, Pattie covered her face with her tiny hands, but
couldn’t help taking a peek through her fingers and giggling.
