Chapter 39

Herman was also taken aback. The phone was on speaker, so he heard everything Monica said crystal

clear.

His timing couldn’t have been worse.

“Ana, are you listening? If you don’t know how to do it, I have some video links you can check out…”

Scared out of her wits, Anastasia hung up the phone in a hurry and even dropped her cell phone on the

floor in the process.

She was totally freaked out. This was the phone she just bought. If it broke, she’d have to shell out

more cash for a new one.

She quickly reached out to catch the phone, saving it from hitting the floor.

Herman stood at the door, his face expressionless. He was flabbergasted too.

Because during the phone–catching process, Anastasia had half knelt on the ground, and her towel

had loosened a bit. From his angle, he could see pretty much everything….

She tightened her towel in embarrassment.

“I made you a latte.”

Despite the embarrassment, Anastasia managed a smile and explained, “Monica loves pulling pranks

Don’t take her seriously.”

Herman chuckled and teased, “I’m suddenly looking forward to it. Was it the thong that Monica gave

you as a wedding gift last time?”

Hermans straightforward words made Anastasia blush even deeper.

She had just taken a shower, her skin delicate and cheeks flushed. When she blushed, she looked

even more charming.

Her charm was natural, and Herman found his heart racing.

Anastasia was the only one who could make him feel the aroused just by looking at her.

“Monica just loves pranks.” Anastasia’s words came out stuttering.

“Anastasia.” Herman suddenly called her name very seriously and walked over to her.

Anastasia’s heart pounded instantly, and she felt like she was rooted to the spot, unable to move.

Blushing, she looked at him, her heart beating wildly.

She wondered, what if Herman wanted her to perform her duties as a wife? What should she do?

They were legally married, and it would be only natural if he had such a request.

Just when Anastasia was torn, Herman reached out to her.

His touch made Anastasia hold her towel tighter.

She thought he was going to do something, but he merely brushed a stray hair from her forehead.

“If you wash your hair at night, remember to dry it, or you might get a headache.”

“Ah? Okay!” Anastasia nodded, which made him laugh.

He leaned down and teased in her ear, “Are you scared I’ll do something to you?”

Shy and nervous, Anastasia closed her eyes and blurted out, “No…no.”

Her reaction put him in a good mood.

He reached out to pet her head, “You have an interview tomorrow, right? Better get some sleep.”

At that, Anastasia opened her eyes. He was already turning around, heading to the dining table, and

grabbing the coffee on it.

She thought he was going to….

If he wanted to, she wouldn’t exactly say no…

His turning away left her a little disappointed. Could it be like Monica said, she was too uptight and

Herman wasn’t interested in her?

Or maybe he has performance issues?

Back in her room, Anastasia couldn’t help but touch her head. His gentle touch was still there.

Her phone kept receiving new messages. They were from Monica.

Monica [What happened? Why did you suddenly hang up?]

Anastasia [He came back and heard what you were saying]

After the message was sent, Monica replied immediately: [And then? Did you feel anything special?]

Anastasia [No, we’re in our own rooms now]

Monica [Ana, do you think Herman has a problem? If he can resist sleeping with such a beautiful

woman, something’s definitely off]

Anastasia had her doubts too, but questioning a man’s ability was risky

Anastasia [Probably not, maybe it’s because of feelings. I need to rest, I have an interview tomorrow]

As a wife, even if Anastasia had doubts, she would defend Herman’s image in front of others.

Back in his room, Herman received a call from Flynn.

Flynn conveyed Katelyn’s wishes on the phone, hoping that Herman would have a child soon.

Herman frowned, “So annoying”

“Bro, it’s mom’s request. You’re already thirty, isn’t it strange for a man of your age to never have sex

with a woman? And now, even after getting married, you’re still sleeping in separate rooms. Bro, do you

have a problem?”

Flynn risked asking the last question.

“No pocket money for you this year.”

Herman’s words scared Flynn.

Before Flynn could plead, Herman hung up the phone. He knew very well he didn’t have a problem. If

he hadn’t tried to control himself just now, he would have let his desires get the best of him.

But he was indeed inexperienced in this department.

He had never been with a woman before, except for a dream he had a few years ago, a dream so real

that it was unforgettable.

The woman in the dream, like Anastasia, had captivating eyes.
