Nelson’s words only added salt to Flynn’s wound. Freezing his ass off here, Flynn could only imagine Herman on top of the mountain, cuddling with his wife.
“I should have brought a knockout with me,” Flynn sighed. “With all the dough I’m spending, I bet I could make some babe’s day”
“Your ex-girlfriends could probably form a line stretching to another country,” Nelson joked. “Do you really need to impress more girls?”
“All they cared about was my money, that’s boring.” Flynn pondered, “What about I pull a Herman and play poor for a while? What do you think, Nelson?”
“Well, you could give it a shot,” Nelson suggested. ‘But you may not be as lucky as Mr. Salstrom.”
“Yeah, he can pick up a wife just by grabbing a cup of joe Flynn looked up at the fireworks, then back at the top of the mountain.
They were too far away for him to see Herman and Anastasia, but he knew they must have been on the viewing platform.
“He’s become more considerate and knows how to be romantic ever since he met Anastasia”
Flynn pulled out his phone and video called Katelyn. “Mom, check out the fireworks, pretty cool, right?”
Seeing the fireworks, Katelyn scolded Flynn, “You’re always up to some flashy tricks. When will you grow up and act your age? Always trying to impress girls with all this.”
“Mom, Herman arranged this for his wife,” Flynn defended.
Upon hearing it was Herman’s doing for Anastasia, Katelyn broke into a smile and praised, “He’s really smart, he’s finally learned how to be romantic. Where are they? Let me see.”
Flynn was speechless
‘They’re on top of the mountain, too dark for you to see. Mom, you’re so biased.”
“He’s finally grown up. I have to praise him. Oh, by the way, that car you had your eye on, I got it for you.”
Flynn immediately smiled wide, kissing the screen. “Mom, you’re the best. I love you the most.”
Katelyn laughed. “You silly boy”
On top of the mountain.
There was no one left on the viewing platform, but a car parked nearby was shaking violently, with Anastasia’s moan occasionally audible. The sound of the car shaking was loud, but luckily there was no one around, otherwise Anastasia would have wanted to hide out of embarrassment. She hadn’t expected Herman to be so impulsive, so eager
They didn’t get home until late at night.
Anastasia fell asleep in the back seat and didn’t know when they got home. When she woke up the next day, she was already at home. Thinking of Herman’s passion last night, she couldn’t help but blush..
Herman had already gone to the office. Anastasia checked the time and prepared to go to work as well
Before heading to the office, she bought some food and went to unit one of building six to find Pattie. She was worned that Pattie might be hungry.
Penny wouldn’t change. Community workers and the police had tried to mediate, but to no avail. Penny was breastfeeding, her son was still so young, so the police wouldn’t arrest her for hitting Pattie. If Penny was arrested, there would be no one to take care of Pattie and the little boy, so the police could only give Penny a verbal warming.
Anastasia stood in front of room 802. She knocked on the door, after a while, someone came to open the door. It was Pattie.
Pattie was barefoot, wearing old clothes. The new clothes that Herman bought for her had all been sold by Penny.
Pattie’s eyes were devoid of any light; she was back to her old indifferent self.
The sound of playing cards came from the room, Penny had invited friends over for poker. Her son was playing with toys on the living room carpet, and Pattie had just been taking care of him.
Seeing Pattie like this, Anastasia felt very distressed “Pattie, has your mom hit you recently?”
Pattie shook her head. She no longer dared to tell the truth, because it would only invite more vicious beatings from Penny.
