Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison novel Chapter 266

Chapter 266 Stop Texting Me 

It was Christmas Eve, and everyone was planning to stay overnight at the Aniston Villa. 

Dalton, knowing Chandler and Meryl would be there, dragged his feet and didn’t show up until late in the evening. 

He couldn’t bear to see the two of them together. It made his heart ache. 

Thankfully, Dylan called Chandler into the study after dinner, leaving Meryl alone.

After taking a shower and drying her hair, Meryl saw a new text message on her phone.

[I’m waiting for you in the garden downstairs. There’s something I need to tell you.] 

Meryl knew that number by heart. Even though she had deleted Dalton’s number long ago, she still remembered every digit. 

Meryl paid it no mind. Given their current situation, it was neither appropriate nor wise for them to meet in private, especially at the Aniston Villa. Who knew how many prying eyes were lurking about? 

About ten minutes later, her phone buzzed again. Dalton texted: [Are you here yet? It’s a bit chilly out, so bundle up.]

Meryl furrowed her brow, walked to the window, and peered outside.

Sure enough, there was a shadowy figure in the garden, looking up in her direction. 

Their eyes met silently across the distance, and Meryl quickly closed the curtains. 

She turned off the lights and texted Dalton back: [You should head back. I’m going to sleep.] 

It was nine–thirty at night, and as she lay in bed, Meryl was wide awake.
