Anastasia was pretty frosty towards Tayon, her words icy and distant, treating him like a stranger.
Soon, Tavon sent an address, a hotel address. Flynn, puzzled, asked, “Anastasia, I remembered you saying your mom was sick. Why is she in a hotel and not a hospital?”
“Maybe she’s faking it,” Anastasia guessed. She didn’t seem to worry and was able to chat with Flynn happily on the way.

Looking at Anastasia with sympathy, Flynn asked, “Are your parents tricking you?”
Anastasia sighed helplessly. “Every woman, no matter her age, gets pretty lost when they fall in love. Tavon was so eager for me to come to Willowbrook, so let me see what kind of man he really is.”
Flynn was taken aback. “Is that guy really your biological father?”
Looking at the unfamiliar Willowbrook outside the car window, Anastasia responded, “I’ve never met my father. Some people can visit their father’s grave, but I don’t even have a picture of my father at home. How can I feel anything for him?”
Flynn fell silent. That was a pretty harsh truth.
The taxi arrived at the hotel. Anastasia looked up to see The Grand Plaza Hotel. “Flynn, do me a favor. Look up the Morton family’s address, and see how far it is from here. Also, find out which hospital Sandy is in and how her condition is. After that, book a room here at The Grand Plaza Hotel and text me to meet up. Is that
too much to ask?”
Flynn confidently replied, “Don’t worry, Anastasia. Leave it to me. I’ll meet up with you in an hour.”
“Thanks,” Anastasia said, feeling a bit guilty for dragging Flynn into her family issues. But she needed his help to dig up more information.
“No need to be formal, Anastasia. We’re family.” Flynn grinned before hailing another taxi to gather the information.
Watching Flynn’s cab drive off, Anastasia felt a warmth in her heart. The Salstrom family was wealthy, but they didn’t act high and mighty, there were no family feuds, and everyone got along. Maybe that’s why they were able to raise someone as kind, attentive, and responsible as Herman.
Taking a deep breath, Anastasia mentally prepared herself to confront Tavon and Ashley. From the start, she never believed Tavon could truly change. His eagerness to invite her over definitely had an ulterior motive.
She walked into the hotel and found room 808 on the eighth floor, according to Tavon’s directions. After ringing the doorbell, Tavon opened the door shortly. Seeing Anastasia, he immediately started blaming himself. “Ana, it’s my fault. I didn’t take care of your mom properly.”
“How is my mom?” Anastasia asked, feigning urgency as she walked into the room with her luggage.
Salma looked a bit pale, sitting on the bed. Seeing Anastasia, she looked uneasy. “Ana, you’re here,” she coughed a few times while speaking.
“Mom, what’s wrong? Have you seen a doctor?” Anastasia asked with concern.
“I did, and just came back from the hospital,” Salma replied. “The doctor said it’s just me not adapting to the environment here. I’ll be fine after a few days’ rest.”
“You’ve been in Willowbrook for so long, and you’re still adapting?” Anastasia looked at Tavon as she said this.
Tavon immediately responded, “It might be because the weather turned cold last night, and your mom might have caught a cold. Ana, stay with your mom. I’ll arrange a welcome dinner for you at The Regal Palate tonight, just a family gathering.
Anastasia didn’t beat around the bush. “Who exactly is in this ‘family’ that Tavon speaks of?”
Tavon seemed a bit awkward but quickly brushed it off with a laugh. “Of course, it’s our family. Your sister, your brother, and Ashley. We’ll all have a nice meal together.” novelbin
As he said this, Tavon was watching Anastasia’s reactions, worried that she would refuse. He was quickly trying to find the right words to convince her, but Anastasia simply agreed, “Okay, thanks, Tavon.”
