Chapter 279
Anastasia plucked up the courage to turn around, and was immediately freaked out. The guy standing
in front of her was all masked up and was holding her keychain.
“Ya dropped this.”
That voice…was it Harmon? Anastasia snapped out of her shock and squinted at the man. “Harmon?
Is that really you?”
Harmon let go of Anastasia, avoiding her gaze, and held up the keychain in his hand. “Here.”
Anastasia took the keychain, trying to keep her cool. “Why were you tailing me? Have you been
following me this whole time?”
Harmon stuttered, “No.”
“Look at me in the eye.” Anastasia was on the edge, her patience worn thin. “Harmon, what’s your
deal? If you don’t spit it out, I’m calling the cops.” If Harmon had been following her, she was definitely
freaked out and absolutely needed to call the police.
Something in Anastasia’s words seemed to set Harmon off. His eyes were full of rage. “You’re mine,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmy woman. If I hadn’t been late that day, you would’ve chosen me, wouldn’t you?”
“What the hell are you talking about?” Anastasia was scared by Harmon’s sudden change, and totally
lost in his rantings. “What are you talking about? What’s this being late? I’m already married. I barely
know you, so how could I possibly marry you?”
“So are you saying you’ve been fooling me all along?” Harmon grabbed Anastasia’s wrist, his eyes cold
as ice. “You’re just like all of them, a bunch of liars, scamming people on OkCupid.” In Harmon’s mind,
Anastasia’s words meant she was already married and the blind date was just a scam, and now she
was denying it.
Anastasia struggled to break free. “Harmon, let go of me, or I’ll scream. I’ll call the police.” She thought
Harmon must have been provoked. She had been on a blind date on OkCupid too. He might be
pouring all the anger from being scammed by those women on her.
“You still won’t admit it. All of you are liars. The more beautiful a woman is, the more she knows how to
deceive people. Did you also want to deceive me that day? How much did OkCupid pay you to hurt
people like this?”
Harmon seemed somewhat paranoid, and both his thoughts and actions were extremely obsessive. His
emotions were highly agitated. “How much do you want, I’ll give it to you, just be my wife.”
“Are you out of your freaking mind?” Anastasia was both scared and disgusted. “Let go of me, Harmon.
Let go of me now.”
Unable to break free, Anastasia kicked Harmon where it hurt. Crouching down in pain, Harmon let go of
Anastasia.
Anastasia immediately ran towards Harmony Meadows. Just as Harmon was about to follow, a police
car passed by and he quickly turned in the other direction.
Anastasia, panting heavily, ran back home with her legs feeling weak. She drank some water to calm
herself. Not long after, there was a knock on the door. The sudden knocking made her heart race; she
thought it was Harmon.
“Mommy, mommy, are you home?” A voice came from outside the door. It was Pattie.
Relieved, Anastasia went to open the door. Pattie and Katelyn were standing at the door. Pattie
excitedly called out, “Mommy.”

“I did well. The teacher taught us how to draw. Here, mommy, let me show you my drawing.” Pattie
enthusiastically took out a drawing from her bag.
“Wow, Pattie, you’re really amazing, Anastasia praised.
Seeing Anastasia’s pale face, Katelyn asked, “Anastasia, what’s wrong? You don’t look so good.”
“Ran into some trouble earlier, but I’m fine now. Thanks for bringing Pattie back. Have you guys
eaten?”
Katelyn often picked Pattie up from school now that Salma and Tavon Morton were in Willowbrook.
Sometimes, Katelyn would even take Pattie back to her place.
“We’ve already eaten. I took Pattie to a restaurant.” Katelyn often took Pattie out for meals, and Pattie
enjoyed going out with her.
“I really owe you one.” Anastasia was a bit embarrassed.
“No trouble at all, we’re family. Pattie even calls me grandma. It’s only right for a grandma to spend
time with her granddaughter.” Katelyn replied with a laugh. Anastasia smiled, feeling fortunate to have
such a wonderful family.
“I…” Just as Anastasia was about to say something, her phone rang.
It was a call from Gianna. Anastasia was curious, wondering why Gianna would call her at this hour. As
she picked up, she heard Gianna’s sobbing voice. “Anastasia, I need your help.”
