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

threw on a coat.

Susan saw her changing shoes at the entrance and hurried over. "Mrs. Aniston, are you heading out? You're pretty far along in your pregnancy. Is it safe to go alone? Why don't I come with you?" Meryl smiled, "No need. I'll ask Anne to

come with me. We're just going to the mall nearby, not far at all. I'll be back soon."

Once in the car, Meryl was about to call

Anne.

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.
