With just a simple sentence from Anastasia, Julie was feeling all knotted up inside.


    Anastasia had just owned her.


    Herman was initially worried, but after witnessing Anastasia''s swift and carefuleback, he let out a sigh of relief


    Anastasia always had a way with words, always getting the upper hand


    The blind date was no biggie, as Anastasia was Hermans one and only, legally protected wife


    Julie was clearly flustered, she had met her match and was so rattled she couldn''t even speak, she just maintained a smile


    Herman exined to Anastasia, ''My aunt had introduced me to a lot of people, showed me a lot of photos. She was worried I couldn''t find a wife"


    Seeing Herman so eager to exin, Anastasia didn''t press further, saying. My aunt did the same to me too


    She also had a few blind dates, there was no need for her to argue with Herman about this.


    They had met through a blind date, and now that she was Herman''s wife, there was no point arguing with Julie


    Collin, covering half his face, and winked at Julie. He was just quietly eating, knowing that if he dared to speak more, Herman would have a bone to pick with himter


    Julie sat down. She had lost her appetite and was silent for the whole meal, just quietly observing the interaction between Herman and Anastasia.


    Anastasia was eating heartily, with Herman taking care of her throughout the meal, even deboning the fish for her.


    Collinmented, "This meal is giving me indigestion. I need to find a girlfriend tofort me Sister-inw, this is the first time I''ve seen Herman so patient and caring, you''ve really trained him well'' Anastasia blushed andughed, "Is that so?"


    Herman peeled a shrimp and ced it in Anastasia''s bowl, saying: "It really depends on the situation. The way I treat my wife, of course, would differ from how I treat my friends.


    Collin gave a thumbs up, asking, "When are you guys nning the wedding?"


    Anastasia was about to say there won''t be a wedding, but Herman beat her to it, "We''ll send out the invitations, just have your wedding gifts ready"


    Was Herman really nning a wedding?


    Anastasia hadn''t heard about this before


    Maybe this was just Hermans way of chatting with his friends, so she didn''t say much else.


    Collin said, "Of course I''ll have the gifts ready. Let''s make a pact, I''ll be your best man,"


    Herman said, "If you want to be the best man, you have to give a bigger gift.


    Collin was dumbfounded, "Isn''t the best man supposed to be hired, receiving money and gifts? Why do I have to pay?"


    Herman nonchntly replied, "That''s the treatment for other peoples best men. My best man spot is in high demand. If you don''t want to be the best man, there are others willing to be" Anastasiaughed at the side, and Collin gave in, "Alright, alright, I''ll foot the bill."


    Julie finally found an opportunity to chime in, "Ms. Jewell, let me be your bridesmaid then."


    Anastasia was taken aback, she wasn''t close with Julie, not to mention Julie was Herman''s previous blind date. It would be inappropriate for her to be


    the bridesmaid.


    But before Anastasia could refuse, Herman spoke up for her, "You''re not suitable to be the bridesmaid."


    His blunt words made Julie''s face turn red.


    Seeing this, Collin said, "She already has someone in mind for her bridesmaid. Julie, you''re toote."


    This was to save Julie some dignity and ease her embarrassment


    Jule awkwardlyughed, "What a pity"


    Herman''s previous words had also surprised Anastasia He seemed too blunt


    But those who knew Herman knew that he never minced words when it came to people and things he didn''t care about


    For those with ill intentions, he wouldn''t hesitate to reject them


    In order not to make Anastasia ufortable from eating too much, Herman, seeing that she had almost finished eating, said. Tve got movie tickets, we can go to the movies after dinner" Anastasia was a bit baffled, she didn''t know there was a date nned after dinner.


    Hearing that they were going to the movies, Collin tactfully said, "I won''t interrupt your date then. Anastasia, let''s exchange contact info. Come for a meal here when you''re free. This restaurant is mine, you eat for free! Hearing that the restaurant was Collins, Anastasia remembered she had previously said it was a scam, and immediately leh embarrassed


    Anastasia took out her phone, and they added each other on WhatsApp. Herman held Anastasia''s bag and her hand, then told Collin, "We''re leaving."


    Herman didn''t even give Julie a second look when he left.


    As long as Anastasia was there, his eyes were only on her.


    After they left, Collin said to Julie, "You see that? You can call it quits now."
