Chapter 2

Seeing that Anastasia was really leaving, Herman reminded her, “Shouldn’t we exchange contact info?

How am I gonna catch you later?” Anastasia was a bit embarrassed as this had totally slipped her

mind. She quickly pulled out her mobile, and they added each other on WhatsApp. Herman also gave

Anastasia his phone number, saying, “Call me if anything comes up. This was his personal line.

“Mm.” Anastasia glanced at Herman’s phone from the corner of her eye, he had saved her name as

‘my wife‘.

Seeing this nickname, Anastasia felt a strange sensation. Was she a married woman now?

She was going to simply save his contact as his name, but seeing how Herman saved hers as ‘wife,

she hesitated for a moment, then saved him as ‘my Mr. Salstrom.

As Herman was about to offer her a lift, his phone rang. Changing what he was about to say, he said,

“Be careful on the road”

Anastasia didn’t want to disturb him any further, so she hailed a cab and left.

Herman watched as Anastasia drove away. After a while, a Rolls Royce pulled up beside him, and a

man in the car rolled down the window.

“Herman, weren’t you supposed to meet me at the cafe? Why did you come here? You’ve been

ignoring my calls. You have a contract signing at Crescent Bay at 6. The flight’s booked for 4 this

afternoon. We’ll miss it if we don’t get moving.”

The man talking was Herman’s younger brother, Flynn.

“I had some business to take care of.” Herman got in the car, his voice a bit deep. “Let’s head to the

airport now.”

Flynn started the car, casually asking, “What business were you taking care of?”

“I got married” Herman’s casual remark nearly caused an accident. mFlynn, startled, mistakenly

stepped on the accelerator, hastily hit the brakes, and finally steadied the car.

“Are you joking? You don’t even have a girlfriend. Mom introduced you to so many women, but you

showed no interest. She even started suspecting that you might be into men and was about to

introduce you to some. Anyway, our family is open–minded, and besides, I can inherit the family

business…

“If you keep rambling, I’m cutting your allowance in half for the rest of the year.”

Flynn immediately cried out, “Bro, come on!”

“After you drop me off at the airport, help me buy an apartment. Nothing too fancy, a regular flat will

do.”

“Why do you want such a small place? You have several villas in your name, aren’t they enough for

you?”

Herman shot him a glance, and Flynn immediately fell silent. He didn’t take Herman’s marriage

seriously, thinking he was just joking. Because he knew Herman’s love life well. Herman wouldn’t just

marry a random woman he met on the street.

Anastasia returned home, and as soon as she walked through the door, her mother started scolding

her, “Anastasia, you’ve started lying now. I told you to go on a date, why didn’t you…”

Salma hadn’t finished when she saw Anastasia pull out the marriage certificate.

“Mom, I’m married now.” Anastasia showed the marriage documents to Salma. “You can rest easy

now.”

Salma was very surprised when she saw the marriage documents. She put down the cleaning tools in

her hand and took the documents with trembling

hands.

On closer examination, Salma found that the man was very handsome. Then she saw the name,

Herman?

She remembered that the man introduced on the dating site didn’t have this name. Did she hear it

wrong?
