Chapter 50
I’m really worried, your aunt can’t take it anymore and her blood pressure is through the roof,”
Salma replied,” Joey is such a jerk. If he and Gianna can’t make peace, they should just get a divorce.
Why does he have to lie like this? I heard that Joey’s the other woman even has a five–year–old
daughter with him. That means they’ve been together for years. And now she’s pregnant with their
second child, a son. The Edmunds family really wants this kid, but they’re not willing to divorce.”
Thinking of Joey playing the innocent victim in the hospital, claiming that his mistress was the one
clinging to him, Anastasia couldn’t help but think what a great actor he was
Their daughter is five years old, so they’ve been together for at least six years now
That means Joey started having an affair not long after he got married to Gianna.
He was really good at keeping his secret activities hidden all these years.
Joey’s career has been getting better, and he’s always been incredibly sweet and caring towards
Gianna. He was the perfect husband, except for the fact that they didn’t have any kids. They were the
model couple.
Because of Joey’s affair, Anastasia started to lose faith in marriage.
If even the perfect man can cheat, what else is impossible?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOn the phone, Anastasia reminded Salma not to interfere too much. Even if she goes, she should just
be there to comfort Gianna. As for how Gianna handles her marriage, she shouldn’t intervene too
much.
After hanging up the phone, Anastasia sat in the living room, lost in thought, wondering how far her
marriage with Herman could go.
If Herman ever betrayed her, what would she do?
Anastasia was too distracted to work all afternoon and ended up watching TV shows on the couch.
Around five o’clock, she heard a noise at the door and turned to see Herman coming home.
She glanced at the time and thought, oh crap, she haven’t even started cooking dinner yet.
She didn’t expect Herman to come home so early today
Anastasia immediately stood up and said, “I’ll go make dinner.
“Anastasia, let’s go out for dinner tonight.” Herman said as he changed into his slippers, “Let’s
celebrate your new job tomorrow. I’ll go take a shower and change clothes.”
Anastasia was a bit surprised. Herman came home early today to celebrate for her?
“Alright,” she said, I’ll go change clothes too.”
After Herman went back to the bedroom to shower and change clothes, they left the house around six.
Herman was driving and Anastasia was in the passenger seat. He noticed that she seemed to be
preoccupied with something and asked, “How was your medical check–up today?”
Anastasia replied, “No issues, everything’s normal.”
“So, something’s bothering you?”
When Herman asked that, Anastasia who was full of worries, couldn’t help but blurt out, “My cousin
Gianna’s husband Joey cheated. They’ve been married for eight years and now that Gianna can’t have
kids, Joey had a child with someone else. The whole thing was exposed and now Gianna is arguing
with him about a divorce”
Hearing this, Herman understood, “You’re worried about our marriage.”
Anastasia was a bit taken aback by how straightforward he was.
She gave a weak smile and said, “Not really”
“Anastasia” Herman suddenly called her name very seriously. “As long as we’re married, I will never
betray you.”
His words meant that as long as they were husband and wife, he would be absolutely loyal to the
marriage.
Anastasia awkwardly responded with a laugh, “I trust you completely”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhether she really believed him or not was another matter, but she had to say this out loud.
Herman smiled and didn’t call out her lie.
As Anastasia thought about Gianna’s situation, she sighed and said, “Even though Gianna and I aren’t
close, I feel bad for her. She was deceived for so many years, and her husband’s mistress is even
pregnant with their second child. The thing I hate most in life is deception.”
Hearing this, Herman’s heart tightened.
“Your cousin and her husband won’t get a divorce, Herman said, “At least, not in the short term.”
““Why?” She asked, looking at him, “Gianna is very strong–willed. Now that she’s found out about her
husband’s affair, she’ll definitely get a divorce”
“You just said they’ve been married for eight years. They must have feelings for each other. Right now,
Gianna is just furious. Once she calms down, she won’t want to divorce either, Herman analyzed, “Her
husband probably doesn’t want to divorce either”
Anastasia still didn’t understand, “Why wouldn’t they want to divorce? His mistress is pregnant with
their second child, and he’s made it clear at home that he wants the child.”
Herman laughed and said, “Anastasia, you’re oversimplifying things. If her husband really wanted a
divorce, he would’ve done it a long time ago, not hide
it until now. He probably just wanted children. But in a man’s eyes, his wife is always irreplacable”
