Chapter 298

This was the first time Herman had said so much in front of her in one go. He was careful with every word, weighing them before they left his lips, afraid he might say something wrong or too much, afraid she might get upset.

She listened to his explanation. Reflecting on the past few months, she felt she had been too naive, too trusting of Herman. She believed everything he said without doubting him once. She found it amusing now that she had initially shared living expenses with Herman. Sharing expenses with a billionaire? She would be a laughingstock if it got out.

Anastasia lowered her head and laughed at herself. “You must have had a tough time pretending to be poor these past months, huh? You’re used to living in big villas, but you had to stay in a three-bedroom house with me. You’re used to eating exotic food, but I only served you boiled eggs and pancakes for breakfast. You’re used to riding in luxury cars, but you had to drive around in a Chevy that’s just over a hundred grand. Uncomfortable, wasn’t it…”

“Anastasia,” Herman interrupted her softly, holding her shoulders tight. “It doesn’t matter where we live, what we eat, or what car we drive, as long as you’re with me. We can continue living in Harmony Meadows if you don’t like this mansion.”

She gave him a wry smile, looking into his sincere eyes. “Herman, what was your initial motive for deceiving me?”

Herman’s eyes flickered, and suddenly, he couldn’t answer.

“Let me answer that for you,” Anastasia said. “You didn’t trust me.”

Herman had no retort. Indeed, he didn’t trust her, which was why he pretended to be poor to test her. As he nodded in agreement, Anastasia immediately got angry and stormed off downstairs.

“Baby,” Herman quickly closed the room door before her and wrapped his arms around her waist, “I’m sorry.” His apologetic attitude made it hard for her not to believe his sincerity.

Anastasia snapped angrily, “You’re not the one who’s wrong, I am. I misjudged you.” After being deceived for so long, how could Anastasia not be angry?

“It’s all my fault,” Herman held Anastasia tighter, nuzzling her neck.

Anastasia huffed, “Herman, how could you stoop so low?”

“I don’t care when it comes to you.” Herman gently kissed her cheek. “I’ll do anything to make you forgive me.”

Anastasia laughed bitterly. “Then how about you chop up ten’ onions?”

She meant it to be a jab at him. The idea of a billionaire like the head of Elysian Technologies chopping onions would be a joke if it got out.

But Herman took her seriously and immediately called Dailey, downstairs. “Bring the onions up in three minutes.”

Anastasia was shocked. “Herman, what about your pride?”

Downstairs, Dailey was equally puzzled. Flynn asked curiously, “What did my brother ask for, Dailey?”

Dailey replied, “He wants onions. What does he need them for this late at night?”

Flynn couldn’t help but burst out laughing, urging Dailey, “Hurry up and get them. We’re in for a show tonight.”

Indeed, everyone had a weak spot. Flynn found it amusing that Herman, who was like a devil in the business world, was so obedient in front of his wife, he was even ready to chop onions to appease her.

Three minutes later, in the master bedroom.

Dailey delivered the onions and tactfully closed the door. Anastasia looked at the onions and then at Herman. “Are you really going to chop up the onions?” Herman looked pitiful. “If you won’t forgive me, then I’ll have to.” He was determined to make things right. If he couldn’t resolve the issue with Anastasia tonight, he might lose her. Problems between couples should be resolved on the same day. You couldn’t let your wife go to bed unhappy.

Seeing Anastasia softening, Herman took the opportunity. “Honey, can you forgive me for the sake of my love for you? I will never lie to you again.”

Anastasia replied coldly, “Spill everything. Any more secrets you’re keeping from me? Let’s get it all out at once.”

Honesty was the best policy.

Herman confessed, “Flynn is my real brother.””

Hearing this, Anastasia’s gaze deepened. “Go on.”

Herman glanced at Anastasia’s face and continued, “My aunt is actually my real mom, your mother-in-law. My uncle is actually my real dad, your father-in-law.”

Anastasia snapped, “Herman, I really want to kill you right now. Did your whole family conspire to deceive me?”
