Chapter 53

Anastasia felt a sudden urge to pinch Herman’s adorable cheeks

And she did just that

She was taken aback when her fingers actually made contact with his cheek..

Herman was equally surprised when Anastasia suddenly pinched his face.

They locked eyes for a moment, as if time had stopped.

Admiring his handsome face and sexy thin lips, she felt her mouth go dry, a sign that she might want to

kiss him.

“The food’s here.”

The server’s arrival with their food stopped Anastasia from acting on her impulse

That was a close call.

She pulled her hand back, acting as if nothing had happened, sitting like a well-behaved child.

They remained silent as the dishes were brought to the table. Once the server left, Herman touched his

pinched cheek and managed to calm down, “Let’s eat, or we’ll miss the movie.”

“Mhm Anastasia focused on her food, completely engrossed.

Herman was considerate, occasionally serving Anastasia. By the end of the meal, she was so full she

burped.

She even finished the dessert and had to rub her belly due to how full she was

As they descended the stairs, Herman supported Anastasia.

Seeing her rub her belly while walking, Herman gently warned her, “Don’t overeat like this next time. It’s

okay if you can’t finish. Don’t hurt yourself.”

The food was so delicious that Anastasia didnt want to waste a single bite, so she ended up eating too

much

Laughing, Anastasia said. “No worries. I once had a buffet with Monica for three hours. We were so full

we had to lean on the wall to get out. My digestion is good, it pass soon.”

“We have 20 minutes before the movie. Let’s walk around the plaza to help you digest”

The cinema was just next to the restaurant, so there was no need to drive

“Sounds good.” Anastasia rubbed her belly, still feeling a bit uncomfortable. She hung her bag around

Herman’s neck and leisurely strolled around.

Herman, a billionaire CEO had become a bag carrier for his wife

With a smile, Herman went to pay the bill.

Anastasia left the restaurant first, wanting to get some fresh air. As she stepped down the stairs, she

spotted someone she didn’t want to see

A few meters away, Cason was lively chatting with some middle-aged men.

Cason was also dining at the same restaurant and was preparing to bid farewell to his clients.

His law firm was newly established and didn’t have any big cases yet. For some reason, there had

been several troubles recently, causing him headaches. Standing on the stairs, Anastasia caught

Casons attention. His expression froze for a second before he said something to his clients.

After the clients left one by one, Cason approached Anastasia.

“What a coincidence, bumping into you in Riverdale of all places. You told me to stop bothering you,

but it seems like you’re deliberately trying to run into

me”

Cason arrogantly assumed Anastasia was there because of him, which filled him with confidence

Ever since he found out the real reason why Anastasia dropped out of college, his image of her had

crumbled.

In his eyes, Anastasia was a frivolous woman who was unfaithful

He had foolishly thought of Anastasia for so many years, and his anger at being deceived made him

unable to resist mocking her whenever he saw her. Anastasia retorted emotionlessly, “This street

doesnt belong to you. Don’t assume I’m here for you”

Cason’s sudden change in attitude naturally made Anastasia unfriendly towards him

“Anastasia, you still won’t admit your mistakes” Cason sneered, “Your overconfidence will backfire. I

still have some old feelings for you”

“Cason, every word you say makes me sick ”

Anastasia didn’t want to talk to Cason and tried to walk away

Cason rushed to grab Anastasia, but before he could touch her, he was pulled away by a force

Herman, looking serious, stood protectively in front of Anastasia, warning Cason, “Stay away from my

wife”

Only then did Cason realize Anastasia was with Herman.

Feeling humiliated and ridiculed by a mere worker, Cason scoffed, “How much do you know about your

so-called wife? Do you know that she dropped out of college and had two boyfriends at the same time?

Who knows how many men have had their way with her, and yet you’re so protective of her. How

laughable…”

“Bang!”

Herman threw a punch, knocking Cason to the ground, his mouth bleeding and a tooth knocked out
