Chapter 716 Continuing Her Studies

Chandler said with complete sincerity, “Meryl, our son is already born. Don’t you want to give him a complete family?”

His childhood had been anything but complete–if anything, it had been downright miserable. At an age when he should have been cherished by his family, Dylan had sent him off to live with farmers.

All because Chandler’s mother had passed away not long after giving birth to him. And the reason for her death? She had taken her own life for another man.

To Dylan, Chandler had always been an eyesore, a constant reminder of his failed marriage. So despite being born with a silver spoon in his mouth, Chandler had grown up worse off than a beggar.

Meryl’s childhood hadn’t been complete either. That was why Chandler didn’t want their imperfect pasts to shape their son’s future.

People always tried to make up for what they lacked. Those who had missed out on education pushed their children to study harder. Those who had grown up poor wanted their kids to chase wealth. And Chandler? He wanted his son to grow up in a happy, loving home, surrounded by all the affection they could give.

Sure enough, the moment Chandler said those words, something flickered in Meryl’s eyes. The child was hers–how could she not love him? If she divorced Chandler, the only thing she would feel guilty about was their son.

She fell silent for a few seconds. And in that brief moment, Chandler pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly. He cupped her face and then kissed her passionately.

Meryl felt his fingers wrap gently around her wrist before he pressed her against the wall. His lips, soft yet fervent, moved against hers, his breath hot against her skin.

Chandler whispered, “If that thing is still bothering you, if you’re still upset with me, then punish me however you want. I’ll take it. But don’t divorce me. We’re supposed to be together for life— what’s the point of splitting up? The only way I’m leaving is if I die…”

He had probably been drinking before he came. Meryl could taste the faint traces of alcohol on his lips–not strong, not unpleasant, but carrying a unique charm.

Meryl shut her eyes, barely breathing. There was no way out, no chance to resist–Chandler’s kiss was relentless, leaving her with nothing but the heat of his breath consuming her own.

They hadn’t been this close in months, not since her pregnancy. Now that Chandler was touching her again, his desire was

before, Meryl? I’ve already contacted an expert team overseas. Rachel’s condition isn’t looking good. Even if she wakes up, she’ll have to go abroad for long–term care. She won’t be in our way.”

Chandler’s voice was low and husky as he spoke. Holding her face between his hands, he gazed at her, his deep eyes brimming with emotion.
