Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 708

Chapter 708 Can I See Him?

Chandler frowned deeply, his face tense. He wanted to say something else, but Meryl pried his hands off her waist, one finger at a time. "It's late. I'm tired. Please leave."

Chandler froze for a moment. Meryl turned, her eyes red, and shoved him out of the room with all her strength. Chandler tried to reach for her, but Meryl slammed the door shut without hesitation. With a loud "bang", Chandler's fingers got caught in the

doorframe. Right after, he heard the distinct sound of the door locking from inside.

That door-just a single door-now felt like an unbreachable barrier separating the two of them into completely different worlds. Chandler stood there, staring after her.

*"What's wrong? Why are you crying?" Anne pulled Meryl into

a hug the moment she saw her red, swollen eyes. "You're still in recovery-crying isn't good for you. You'll end up with long-term health issues. Come on, stop crying."

As she spoke, Anne gently wiped away Meryl's tears. Meryl felt miserable and wronged. Maybe it was because she'd been hurt so badly by Dalton in the past that she thought Chandler was her salvation.

She had wanted a fresh start, a good life, but everything had spiraled into chaos. The greater the hope, the deeper the disappointment. Suddenly, she felt lost about what the future

held.
