The Bound Between Us

Chapter 113.
All the clothes had been custom made, totaling more than a dozen sets, and each one had been incredibly stylish, exuding a
sense of sophistication.
No price tags, and Anastasia had no clue how much they cost, but they looked hella fancy and the fabric was top notch
Each one suited Anastasia perfectly, conservative yet alluring
Anastasia slipped into a red number with a teardrop neckline, sexy yet classy.
She casually pinned her hair up, a few loose strands framing her makeup-free face, making her look even more refined.
Anastasia had a well proportioned figure with a slender waist. Wearing this dress, she exuded femininity while maintaining an
independent air
Herman was utterly bowled over by her beauty
She was sassy without being vulgar, flirtatious but not cheesy
Do look good? Anastasia asked, feeling a bit out of her comfort zone in such clothes.
“Stunning “Herman complimented generously
The dress wasn’t something Herman had ordered, but a gift from the designer, tailored to Anastasia’s measurements, in hopes
of buttering
It looked fantastic. Herman was more than pleased
He approached her, lifting a hand to adjust a loose strand of her hair, Tim so lucky to have such a beautiful wife like you”
Anastasia laughed, “You sure have a sweet mouth.”
He grinned, “I mean it.”
Anastasia asked, “Why did you buy so many clothes? I can’t possibly wear them all”
“Just change up every day Ill earn the money, you just focus on looking beautiful”

“So I’m just a trophy wife now? I don’t want that, Anastasia loved the dress she was wearing, but had no occasion to wear it.

“This dress is lovely, but it might get in the way at the Night Market.” Anastasia revealed, “I got fired. I’ve decided to go back to
my old job, selling stuff at the Night Market”
Herman didn’t say much, just commented, “1 would worry about you going out in this dress”
He was concerned that she might attract unwanted attention.
Anastasia laughed. Aren’t you mad that I got fired? I haven’t had any income recently, and we’re relying entirely on you at home.
I’m feeling a bit anxious,”
Anastasia was used to being self-reliant, so not earning her own keep made her feel uneasy
“You’re so talented, I bet your company will invite you back in no time.” Herman said. “The whole Ledford family thing wasn’t your
fault.”
“You knew i got fired?’ Anastasia realized that since Herman worked at Elysian Technologies too, it made sense that he knew
Herman gave her a half-true explanation, I have some contacts with Mr. Victor from the branch office. He told me
“Wow, you know Victor?”
Anastasia was impressed, her admiration shining through as she instinctively called him “Hubby”.
Hearing this term of endearment made Herman feel rather pleased.
Anastasia: “I saw him at the company’s annual meeting. He was sent from the head office to our branch”
Anastasia had also heard from her coworkers that Victor was indeed sent from the head office.
“Herman, seeing you excel at the head office, I feel like I’m dragging you down at the branch. Thankfully no one knows we’re
married, or I might’ve embarrassed you”

Herman smiled gently. “Dont belittle yourself, you’re my pride and joy. I have a friend who wants to meet you tonight, how about
we go out for dinner?”
Collin had been wanting to meet Anastasia. He’d messaged Herman first thing in the morning, curious about the significant
someone who had caught Herman’s eye
“Sure”
The idea of meeting Herman’s friend made Anastasia both nervous and excited.
She was worried she might embarrass Herman, but also happy that he was willing to introduce her to his social circle.
“I need to put away these clothes”
Dressing so formally at home wasn’t practical.
Anastasia headed back to her room to change into something more comfortable while Herman was in his study, getting some
work done.
Just then, the doorbell rang
Ahastasia, now in her loungewear, went to answer the door and was taken aback by who was there.
“Selena? What are you doing at my door?”
