Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 26 Our Marriage License

Seeing it was Anne calling, she quickly tapped the button.

"Dear, I almost forgot. Are you being discharged from the hospital today?"

There was background noise over the phone. She felt Anne must have called during a break in her shooting.

"If you don't want to go back to the Stone Villa, you can stay at my place for now. I'll give you the address and the door lock code..."

Meryl responded, "No need. You and Dante are married. It wouldn't be appropriate for me to stay there."

Although Anne and Dante's marriage was one of convenience and they shared little affection, they were legally a married couple.

It would be inappropriate for Meryl to stay at their home, especially since Anne was currently traveling.

She needed to avoid any impropriety.

Anne asked worriedly, "Then where will you go?"

Meryl replied, "To my fiancé's place."

Hearing this, Anne exploded on the other end of the line, sounding quite frustrated.
