Katelyn double-checked the back of Pattieâs neck, afraid sheâd seen wrong. Sure enough, there it was, a red, round birthmark âWhat a coincidence, Katelyn murmured under her breath. Herman had a similar birthmark, but his was located around his waist area.
âMaâam, Iâve brought the blanket Irene came in carrying a blanket.
1 guess Iâll take Partie to bed Katelyn lifted Pattie, surprised by how light the little girl was.
Hermanâs office had a rest area where heâd catch some sleep when he was beat. The rest area was well equipped, and Katelyn gingerly placed the girl on the bed to sleep.
About half an hour later, when Herman and Kenny had finished their contract talks, he found out Katelyn was there.
âSon, whose kid does that little girl belong to Katelyn asked.
âWe found her on the street, Anastasia and I. Sheâs from Harmony Meadows, Herman replied, âWhereâs she?â
âSheâs sleeping in there, Katelyn said Shes a real looker, that one Bit skinny, though Speaking of kids, whens your wife gonna pop out a baby? Iâd really like to stop being green with envy every time I hang out with my friends, all of them have grandkids but me. It really gets to me.â
âWe should have some good news soon Herman teplied. He was pretty confident about his abilities.
Maybe Anastasia was already pregnant.
Hearing this, Katelyn burst into laughter Thatâs my boy Cant wait to spoil some grandkidsâ
Herman just smiled and kept his mouth shut. His eyes softened when he talked about Anastasia âSon, when are you planning on bringing Ana to Salstrom Manor? You know secrets have a way of coming out. We need to make your wifeâs status official âAnastasiaâs birthday is coming up.â Herman said quietly. âI have a plan.â
âSon, youâre going to announce this at Anas birthday party?â
Herman nodded Katelyn laughed gleefully âSon, youâre su Anaâs birthday was two months away While they were talking abo After a busy morning. Anasti a romantic if youâd made up your mind earlier, I mightâve already had a bunch of grandkidsâ
Herman was secretly planning a surprise party for her asia a message from her popped up on his phone. Howâs Pattie?]
had some downtime and checked in on Pattie Herman replied. Shes asleep Weiled her and taken her to the hospital. Sheâs severely anemic and malnourished]
Anastasta felt upset reading this and asked him. [Herman, what are you planning to do with Pattie?
Pattie was Leo and Pennyâs daughter, and they couldnât completely prevent the couple from hurting Pattie They could only help her for a while but couldnât solve the problem fundamentally.
Her parents also refused mediation from the womens federation in the community, which made things even more difficult Herman replied. I take her home later and see how things go Anastasia felt helpless, but they had to deal with it this way for now If Pattie was away for too long and the couple reported her missing or accused them of kidnapping, things would get messy At that moment, a colleague came to Anastasia looking miserable âMs Jewell, I need to go to the restroom Could you please go get a guestâs bracelet for me?â
âSure, no problem Anastasia readily agreed. She wouldnât turn down such a small favor âThank you so much. The bracelet is at the front desk. It just arrived, and the guest will be here to pick it up soon.â
âOkay, leave it to me Anastasia looked at her colleagueâs pained expression and said with concern.
âYou should go to the bathroom.â
âThank youâ The colleague hurried off to the bathroom.
Anastasia went downstairs to the front desk to get the bracelet just as the guest arrived.
The guest was the wife of a bank president, who had specially ordered a custom bracelet from Selena.
She was passing by the company today and decided to pick it up in person.
Anastasia led the guest to the reception room and said, âWendy, this is the bracelet you ordered Take a look.â
Wendy couldnât wait to open the jewelry box and see the real thing. When she saw the finished product, she praised it again and again âItâs so beautiful This is exactly the bracelet. Iâve been dreaming of â
Anastasia was also taken aback, not because of the braceletâs beauty, but because she was the one who designed it. She had never been asked to design jewelry for any client, and the design of this bracelet was something she had drawn casually How on earth had it been made into a real piece of jewelry?
âWendy youâre hereâ At that moment, Selena walked in enthusiastically Then everything clicked for Anastasia.
Selena had stolen her design.
