Chapter 302
If Herman knew that both his wife and his little bro were all about living the chill life, heâd probably be gobsmacked. But now, the ballâs in Hermanâs court as far as Anastasia and Flynn are concerned.
Anastasia, looking at Flynn, said with intent, âYour move, dude.â
Flynn chuckled, âIf thereâs any deep dark secret my big bro is hiding, Iâll spill the beans to you first. Like if someoneâs trying to get chummy with him or if heâs stashed away some secret cash.â
Anastasia flashed a satisfied grin. âDeal.â
Flynn grabbed a bottle of mineral water, clinked it with Anastasiaâs, and said, âCheers! The water suddenly felt like liquor.
Taking a sip of his water, he asked, âMy big bro pulled the wool over your eyes for so long, arenât you pissed? Did you let him off the hook just like that? Did you use that onion trick last night? If it were me, Iâd make sure Herman gets his just desserts, wouldnât let him get away with such deception.â
Anastasia gave him a thumbs up. âYouâre definitely your brotherâs kin.â
you.
Flynn, ever the social butterfly, chuckled, âIâm riled up for you. But damn, youâre really forgiving. You let Herman off the hook so fast. He used to fret that youâd ditch him if you found out the truth.â
Anastasia chuckled, âEven though I only finished high school, Iâm not a dummy. I married a freaking billionaire, and thereâs no way in hell Iâm divorcing him unless heâs ready to cough up billions or even trillions. Otherwise, divorce is off the table.â
Flynn looked at her in awe, giving her a thumbs up. âYouâre a boss, I admire that.â
Turned out, all of Hermanâs worries were needless. Even though he knew Anastasia was just messing around, Flynn started to appreciate her more because she
was real.
Munching on some snacks, Anastasia said, âThis isnât some melodramatic soap opera, I donât need to be all dramatic. Your brother being loaded is a good thing. Iâm not giving up my position as Mrs. Salstrom. Loads of people would kill for this spot.â
Flynn burst out laughing. âHow come I never noticed how funny you are?â
Anastasia just chuckled and didnât say anything. She didnât care whether Herman was rich or not. As long as their marriage and love were intact, she wouldnât leave him because of materialistic reasons. Marriage was tough. She wasnât sure if she and Herman could make it till the end, but she cherished what they had now.
Two hours later, they arrived in Willowbrook.
Flynn grabbed their luggage while Anastasia walked ahead, dialing Herman to let him know theyâd arrived. She also sent him a video she accidentally recorded on the plane of Flynn stirring the pot.
When Herman saw the message, he forwarded it to Flynn and texted him. [Your bank card is frozen.]
Flynn, who was still hauling their luggage, felt helpless when he saw the message. Watching Anastasia walking ahead gracefully, he sighed, âI really screwed up. Since when are brothers closer than husbands and wives? I was a fool to try and stir the pot.â
Anastasia called out from up ahead, âFlynn, hurry up!â
âIâm coming, Iâm coming.â Flynn sped up, dragging the luggage, and catching up to Anastasia. âMy brother froze my bank card. I have to rely on you now.â Anastasia laughed, âYour bro sure knows your weak spots. Here, this is a supplementary card he gave me. It has no spending limit, so use it as you wish.â This was the card Herman gave her in the morning.
Flynn was over the moon. He couldnât stop grinning, âYouâre the best.â
Anastasia laughed. How could the shrewd Herman have such a naive little brother? He was given a slap and then a candy, and still felt happy. She never knew Flynn could be so amusing. Now with the supplementary card, Flynn was even more faithful to Anastasia, like a pack horse.
When they left the airport, Anastasia contacted Tavon. âIâve arrived in Willowbrook. Send me the address.â
