Chapter 539 Getting Triggered

Meryl did not go home.

Instead, she wandered aimlessly outside as night fell.

This weekend was supposed to be a long-awaited reunion with Chandler after a week apart, and she had been looking forward

to it.

People often said that absence made the heart grow fonder, and while practicing the piano earlier, she had wondered if their relationship would improve because of the separation. But now, everything was in a mess because of Rachel.

Chandler had said he would pick her up from the theater, but Rachel was in his car.

He mentioned taking her out for dinner, but again, Rachel was

there.

It felt like she had just swooped in to disrupt their relationship.

She tried to suppress her feelings of disappointment and sorrow.

Though they were not lovers, Yancey obviously had feelings for Anne. With long-term companionship, Anne might grow close to him. Yancey was also an incredibly considerate person; before Anne went to bed, he warmed milk for her, and Meryl received one as well. What about her?

Chapter 540 A Bad Feeling

That night, Meryl and Anne talked about everything-children,

men, careers.

They concluded that every woman needed a career that gave her confidence.

Meryl fell asleep first.

Anne, uncomfortable and restless, quietly got up.

She sensed Meryl was preoccupied and, as her best friend, felt compelled to take action,

Anne grabbed her phone, went to the balcony, and called Dante.

The phone rang twice before he picked up, sounding surprised.

They had been divorced for months and hadn't spoken since. This was the first time Anne had reached out.

Dante's fingertips trembled slightly, and when he opened his mouth, he found that his throat was a little tight.

He tried to keep his voice steady, but inside, he felt a rush of excitement.

"What's up?" he asked.

His cold tone took Anne aback for a moment, but she quickly

If that it was presumptuous to call her
