Chapter 145

It just so happened that Salma had the day off from her hotel job.

After receiving a call from Anastasia, Salma quickly packed and hopped in a tax, not wanting to keep

her daughter and son in-law waiting.

Anastasia pulled Salma aside and filled her in on some details about Pattie. “Mom, Pattie is quite shy,

keep an eye on her

“OK, you guys go to work, and don’t worry, I’ll watch over her Salma asked, “Where’s the girl?”

Anastasia pointed to Pattie, who was sitting on the living room sofa, and said, “Mom, sorry for the

trouble, I’ll be back as soon as I can’

Pattie had her head down, and Salma didnt get a good look at her face.

Salma laughed and said, “Don’t worry. It’s getting late, you guys should head out.”

Anastasia walked over to Pattie, reminded her to listen to Salma while at home, and then left with

Herman.

Anastasia was still a bit worried, Pattie being so introverted and all

Nelson had parked the Chevy in the underground garage the night before Herman and Anastasia

headed to the garage to take off. Once in the car, Anastasia said, “Look, we both work and can’t be

with Pattie all the time. If we have kids, we’d struggle to take care of them. Thankfully, my mom is

here.” Anastasia hadn’t wanted kids before. At first, because she and Herman werent that close, and

later because of housing and financial issues.

They had a house now, and their income was enough to sustain their life in Riverdale. But if they had

kids, they would struggle a bit. These were the issues most families faced.

Anastasia didn’t plan to rely on Herman completely. She wanted to work and help out with the

household chores.

Herman laughed and said, “When we have kids, Ms. Katelyn can help too. Don’t worry too much”

Katelyn was eagerly awaiting her grandkids. If Anastasia had a child, she would be overjoyed. With

seven or eight nannies in the house, they could hire a dedicated nanny for the child. They’d have

enough hands on deck

Anastasia was worried because she didn’t know this. She laughed and said, “Having the elderly at

home to help out would definitely ease the pressure. But it was still too early to think about all this.”

They had been trying for a kid, but Anastasias belly showed no sign of a baby

Herman held Anastasia’s hand and said, “Let nature take its course.”

“OK.” Anastasia said. “By the way, let’s talk to Penny about Pattie’s situation this weekend. We need to

get this sorted out so Pattie can go to school.”

The thought of sending Pattie to school made Anastasia anxious again. “By the way, my cousin Gianna

told me that a good kindergarten costs tens of thousands of dollars a year, and even the cheaper ones

cost thousands. We could go to a public kindergarten. It should be cheaper. If we adopt Pattie, we’ll

have to budget carefully. It’s not easy to find a good school these days”

Herman laughed and said, “Don’t worry too much about all these. Let me handle this. I know a

kindergarten principal. We can have a talk with him.”

For Herman, getting Pattie into school would be a piece of cake. The elite kindergartens of Riverdale

would welcome them with open arms.

Meanwhile

Salma was trying to reach out to Pattie. She approached Pattie with a loving smile and asked, “Pattie,

would you like to go out and play? I can take you to the amusement park, what do you say?”

Pattie remembered what Anastasia had said the night before about taking her to the amusement park.

She looked up and nodded obediently

However, the moment Pattie looked up, Salma got a clear look at her face and was completely taken

aback.
