Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

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

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.
