Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison novel Chapter 271

Chapter 271 Back to Sleep 

1/4 

Meryl’s mind was spinning from the kiss, and she couldn’t quite grasp what Chandler was referring to. 

Holding his head close, she blurted out, “Honey, you’re too strong. Does that count?” 

Chandler thought, “Gosh, that’s not what I want to ask, but I can’t say she’s wrong.” 

His eyes flickered. “Anything else?” 

Meryl bit her lip. “And… can you let me off for tonight? Please?” 

If Meryl wasn’t wrong, this was already the fifth time. 

She really couldn’t take it anymore. 

Chandler grasped Meryl’s chin with one hand, forcing her to lift her head and meet his gaze. “Tell me, who did you meet tonight?” 

Meryl froze for a moment, finally understanding why Chandler had been acting so strange this evening. 

He knew everything. 

Meryl said softly, “Dalton drank too much tonight and got a bit wild. There’s no need to worry about it.”

The blush on Meryl’s face hadn’t yet faded, and she suddenly remembered what Cate had said–that when Chandler got angry, he might actually break Dalton’s legs.

Chandler’s eyes suddenly darkened with resentment. “Mrs. Aniston, are you begging me for my nephew’s sake?”

She wasn’t really pleading on Dalton’s behalf. She just didn’t want to see Dalton get his legs broken and then have an excuse to cling to them. 

The next morning, a phone call shattered the peaceful dawn. 

Meryl was still nestled in Chandler’s arms when she heard the ringing. Half–asleep, she reached for her phone. 

“Meryl, Dalton wants a divorce. Did you put him up to this?” 

The call was from Lydia, her voice trembling with tears. Meryl

really didn’t want to deal with Lydia’s hysteria so early in the morning. 

She simply hung up the phone and went back to sleep.

Beside her, Chandler, his eyes closed, groggily asked, “Who was that?” 

“It’s nothing,” Meryl murmured. 

The sense of security Chandler gave her was something no one else could match, and as her husband, there wasn’t a single flaw she could find in him. 

Meryl nestled into his arms, saying, “Shouldn’t we get up?” 

It was Christmas, and sleeping in at the Aniston Villa seemed a bit improper. 

Chandler asked, “Do you want to get up?” 

Meryl could barely keep her eyes open. She hadn’t slept much at all. 

As if he could read her mind, Chandler looked at her with a doting smile. “Go back to sleep.” 

Meryl blinked. “But…”
