She gently pushed him away, biting her lip. "What about Rachel? Don't you need to take care of her tonight? She's blind right now-what if something happens? Aren't you concerned?"

"Concerned?" Chandler met her gaze, his eyes deep and searching. "Meryl, are you... still jealous?"

Meryl fell silent, with her lack of response speaking volumes.

Sure, Chandler had held his own at the reunion, making her look good among her classmates, but what good was that?

It didn't fill her heart or provide any real'comfort.

Meryl wanted genuine care and attention from her husband, not just superficial accolades.

"Sometimes, I'm just too busy to come by the Stone Villa late at night. I didn't want to disturb your rest."

After all, Meryl was quite far along in her pregnancy, and he knew how hard it was for her to get a good night's sleep. If he showed up late, it would only disrupt her peace.
