Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After

Chapter 676 True Feelings and False Pretenses

Meryl was applying rosin to her cello bow while listening to soothing music for prenatal education.

Casey had gone to Lutalia for a performance a few days ago and had mailed her some gifts.

She was delighted when she opened the package to find wine and chocolate from Lutalia. She hadn't expected such thoughtfulness from Casey. Though she couldn't drink the wine now, she did try some of the chocolate.

It was authentic Lutalia quality, and the

• Chapter 676 True Feelings and False Prete... 2/17 baby seemed to love it, too.

After she ate it, the little one got super excited, doing what felt like a dance party in her belly, as if telling her they had a sweet tooth.

Meryl wondered if she should get something in return.

The gift didn't have to be the most expensive, but it had to be something Casey would truly appreciate; that's what would show her sincerity.

After all, every month now, there was a deposit in her account, all from the royalties she received. Without Casey's help, Meryl, as a newbie in the industry, would probably have taken a lot of wrong turns.

Then she remembered how stressed Anne had been lately with work issues, so she decided against it.

Anne had interviewed for several jobs, but they all doubted her capabilities just because she'd had a child.

The other day, Anne had vented to Meryl.
