Chapter 44 Uncle
Meryl didn’t pry any further; instead, she sent Anne her
location.
Half an hour later, Anne pulled up, and Meryl hopped into the
passenger seat.
“What’s with the hospital visit? Are you feeling unwell?” Meryl asked, glancing over at her friend.
Anne nodded slowly, then shook her head as if struggling to
find the right words.
After a moment of hesitation, she finally admitted, “Last night,
I slept with Dante.”
Meryl blinked in surprise. “Wait, aren’t you two on the verge of
divorce? Is this a reconciliation I’m hearing about?”
Anne wasn’t quite sure how things had spiraled into that
situation.
When she got home last night, she had laid the divorce papers in front of Dante, ready for him to sign so she could head to
the courthouse and finalize things.

But Dante had glanced at the papers and suddenly smirked.
“What’s that supposed to mean No need to drag this out–Just be a man about it?” Anne had asked, urging him to sign and get it over with.
But Dante just laughed, a wicked glint in his eyes. “Oh, you want me to sign? Ever heard of a ‘breakup hookup‘?”
Anne had been taken aback, cursing him in her mind.
She thought, “We’re about to get divorced, yet here he is, wanting to sleep with me?”
The reality hit her hard: Dante really was that kind of guy. He took advantage of her while she slept, leaving her high and dry without signing a thing.
The thought made her blood boil.
In their two years of marriage, they had hardly been intimate, yet now, right before their divorce, he had to have her again.
Just two weeks ago, after a similar encounter, he had smugly declared, “Anne, as long as we’re not officially divorced, you’re
still mine. Deal with it.”
That had led to a slap across his face and a standoff between
them ever since.

Meryl nodded, this was definitely something that needed
attention.
The drive to the hospital was a bit lengthy, and to pass the time, Anne tried to make small talk.

Anne continued, glancing at the traffic light ahead, “The entire Aniston family showed up at the hospital early this

“Chandler went to see Dalton?”
Seeing the confusion in Meryl’s eyes, Anne realized that Meryl probably didn’t know about the connection between Chandler
and Dalton.
Anne replied, her tone serious, “Do I look like I’m joking?
