Chapter 123

With just a simple sentence from Anastasia, Julie was feeling all knotted up inside.

Anastasia had just owned her.

Herman was initially worried, but after witnessing Anastasia’s swift and careful comeback, he let out a

sigh of relief

Anastasia always had a way with words, always getting the upper hand

The blind date was no biggie, as Anastasia was Hermans one and only, legally protected wife

Julie was clearly flustered, she had met her match and was so rattled she couldn’t even speak, she just

maintained a smile

Herman explained to Anastasia, ‘My aunt had introduced me to a lot of people, showed me a lot of

photos. She was worried I couldn’t find a wife”

Seeing Herman so eager to explain, Anastasia didn’t press further, saying. My aunt did the same to me

too

She also had a few blind dates, there was no need for her to argue with Herman about this.

They had met through a blind date, and now that she was Herman’s wife, there was no point arguing

with Julie

Collin, covering half his face, and winked at Julie. He was just quietly eating, knowing that if he dared to

speak more, Herman would have a bone to pick

with him later

Julie sat down. She had lost her appetite and was silent for the whole meal, just quietly observing the

interaction between Herman and Anastasia.

Anastasia was eating heartily, with Herman taking care of her throughout the meal, even deboning the

fish for her.

Collin commented, “This meal is giving me indigestion. I need to find a girlfriend to comfort me Sister-

in-law, this is the first time I’ve seen Herman so patient and caring, you’ve really trained him well’

Anastasia blushed and laughed, “Is that so?”

Herman peeled a shrimp and placed it in Anastasia’s bowl, saying: “It really depends on the situation.

The way I treat my wife, of course, would differ from how I treat my friends.

Collin gave a thumbs up, asking, “When are you guys planning the wedding?”

Anastasia was about to say there won’t be a wedding, but Herman beat her to it, “We’ll send out the

invitations, just have your wedding gifts ready”

Was Herman really planning a wedding?

Anastasia hadn’t heard about this before

Maybe this was just Hermans way of chatting with his friends, so she didn’t say much else.

Collin said, “Of course I’ll have the gifts ready. Let’s make a pact, I’ll be your best man,”

Herman said, “If you want to be the best man, you have to give a bigger gift.

Collin was dumbfounded, “Isn’t the best man supposed to be hired, receiving money and gifts? Why do

I have to pay?”

Herman nonchalantly replied, “That’s the treatment for other peoples best men. My best man spot is in

high demand. If you don’t want to be the best man, there are others willing to be”

Anastasia laughed at the side, and Collin gave in, “Alright, alright, I’ll foot the bill.”

Julie finally found an opportunity to chime in, “Ms. Jewell, let me be your bridesmaid then.”

Anastasia was taken aback, she wasn’t close with Julie, not to mention Julie was Herman’s previous

blind date. It would be inappropriate for her to be

the bridesmaid.

But before Anastasia could refuse, Herman spoke up for her, “You’re not suitable to be the bridesmaid.”

His blunt words made Julie’s face turn red.

Seeing this, Collin said, “She already has someone in mind for her bridesmaid. Julie, you’re too late.”

This was to save Julie some dignity and ease her embarrassment

Jule awkwardly laughed, “What a pity”

Herman’s previous words had also surprised Anastasia He seemed too blunt

But those who knew Herman knew that he never minced words when it came to people and things he

didn’t care about

For those with ill intentions, he wouldn’t hesitate to reject them

In order not to make Anastasia uncomfortable from eating too much, Herman, seeing that she had

almost finished eating, said. Tve got movie tickets, we can go to the movies after dinner”

Anastasia was a bit baffled, she didn’t know there was a date planned after dinner.

Hearing that they were going to the movies, Collin tactfully said, “I won’t interrupt your date then.

Anastasia, let’s exchange contact info. Come for a meal here when you’re free. This restaurant is mine,

you eat for free!

Hearing that the restaurant was Collins, Anastasia remembered she had previously said it was a scam,

and immediately leh embarrassed

Anastasia took out her phone, and they added each other on WhatsApp. Herman held Anastasia’s bag

and her hand, then told Collin, “We’re leaving.”

Herman didn’t even give Julie a second look when he left.

As long as Anastasia was there, his eyes were only on her.

After they left, Collin said to Julie, “You see that? You can call it quits now.”
