Chapter 493 Let’s Get a Divorce

When Chandler returned to his room, Meryl was sitting at the table eating spaghetti.

She heard the door open, but she didn’t turn around.

In just a few minutes, Meryl had planned a lot in her mind.

Given her pregnancy, no one would dare to hire her if she went out to look for a job. Perhaps she could take advantage of this time to improve herself.

Before that, however, there was something more important.

Chandler glanced down and saw that his white shirt was stained with blood. Worried that this would scare her, he picked up his pajamas and went to the bathroom.

In ten minutes, he came out after a quick shower.

Meryl was still leisurely eating her spaghetti.

The dim light of the incandescent lamp fell on her head. Her head was bent, and her loose hair blew in front of her forehead, as if a breeze could carry her away.

Chandler squinted, walked over, and gently put his arm around her shoulders.

“Didn’t you have dinner?”

Chandler’s touch made Meryl’s back stiffen, and she calmly picked up the plate to avoid his palm.

He was stunned. He froze and then dropped his hand stiffly.

“Did Dalton make the spaghetti?”

After a moment of silence, Meryl nodded.

“Is it tasty?”

“Not bad,” she replied quickly this time.

Chandler pressed the tip of his tongue against his cheek and narrowed his eyes. “Starting tomorrow, I’ll cook for you.”

Unexpectedly, Meryl gradually wept.

Her skin was delicate, accentuating her tears. Chandler panicked. Why did she cry after he had made such a normal offer?

He felt distressed and nervous and instinctively wanted to hug her.

But Meryl put down the plate. Noticing his intention, she stood up and stepped back.

She was trying to keep her distance from him.

The realization upset Chandler.

He wanted to find a topic to break the current deadlock. “Since you went to the auction, why did you leave without telling me?”

“What was I going to do there? Watch you and Rachel dancing the waltz affectionately?”

The thought of the scene broke Meryl’s heart.

She took a deep breath, and tears welled up in her eyes again. “Chandler, let’s get a divorce!”

In an instant, Chandler lost control of himself, exuding a cold aura.

Meryl closed her eyes.

Therefore, she did not notice Chandler’s panic.

“Tell everyone that we are in a contractual marriage and that I forced you to marry me in gratitude for saving your life.

“Anyway, in the eyes of outsiders, I have been pursuing you for a long time, so your reputation will not be tarnished at all.

“As for the property, I don’t want a penny, but the baby… You can announce that I faked a pregnancy to keep you, so it won’t affect your next relationship.

“Let me think. What else…”

Meryl’s gaze fell to the window. She tried to be as considerate as possible and to make every effort to protect Chandler’s reputation.

She was sad that their marriage was coming to an end, but he was nice to her, after all, so she intended to maintain his dignity.

He grabbed her shoulders and pressed her forcefully into his arms.

“You silly girl, are you going to sacrifice your reputation just to save mine?

“Suspecting that I’m cheating on you, you should use all means to take all my property, ruin my reputation, and make me pay the price!

“Do you believe that cheating men will pity you because you are sensible? No, they won’t.

“Your kindness will only turn into a knife to stab you. Meryl, you are stupid and soft-hearted. How can I divorce you?”
