Chapter 727: Should She Act?

In the next few days, everything was the same as usual.

Chandler went out early and came home late, saying that he had work to do at the company. Occasionally, he would bring some gifts to Meryl.

Sometimes it was food that Meryl liked, and sometimes it was small ornaments for decoration.

Meryl accepted them all.

She thought that it was better for Chandler to be busy so that he would not know that she had moved all the things related to her out of the house.

In the office, Chandler stared at the photo of him and Meryl in a daze.

He suddenly realized that he and Meryl had not had a proper date for a long time.

When she had a car accident and gave birth, he was unable to be with her. Since then, there seemed to be an invisible barrier between them.

At this time, Walter walked in. “Mr. Aniston, your flight tickets to Englord have been booked. You and Ms. Morgan will leave in a week.”

Chandler came back to his senses. “What has Meryl been busy with at home recently?”

Every time he came home, Meryl would hide in her room.

Meryl would also smile and accept the gifts that Chandler brought her, but he always felt that Meryl’s smile didn’t seem so sincere.

“Mrs. Aniston seems to be tidying up her wardrobe. A few days ago, she packed up a lot of unwanted clothes and said she was going to donate them.”

Chandler nodded. Meryl had been donating things to the orphanage regularly, so he didn’t think much about it.

“Advance the meeting time forward. I want to go home early to accompany her.”

“Okay.”

Just at this time, Dante walked in.

Dante reeked of alcohol. As soon as he came in, he hugged Chandler’s arm and started complaining.

“Why can’t I keep her? She didn’t even want Bella and just left like that.”

Chandler understood that Dante was talking about Anne.

Walter was very perceptive. He turned and left, closing the office door.

Chandler looked at Dante’s decadent look and couldn’t help but frown. “What happened? Tell me.”

“Today was supposed to be the day Anne came to pick up Bella, but I waited for a long time, and she didn’t show up.

“I called her, but her phone was turned off. A few hours later, I found out that she had flown to Havenbrook!

“She said she was going to pursue her career and just left like that! She didn’t even tell me!

“Even if we’re divorced, I’m still Bella’s dad! How could she just leave Bella and run away?”

Actually, what Dante said was not entirely right.

There were already signs that Anne was going to Havenbrook.

At first, she was going to take Bella with her.

But Dante tried his best to stop her.

Dante thought that this would restrain Anne and make her give up the idea of going to Havenbrook.

But he didn’t expect that Anne would really leave without Bella.

Now she had already arrived at Havenbrook.

Chandler was a little surprised to hear that Anne left without saying goodbye.

As far as he knew, Dante’s relationship with Anne had warmed up a little since Bella was born.

At least it was not as tense as before when they were arguing about divorce. They could sit down and talk about Bella calmly.

Chandler thought Dante could make Anne change her mind.

But he didn’t expect Anne to leave.

Dante sat on the sofa, looking sad. “Bella is her daughter. Does she hate me so much that she wants to get rid of me? Does she hate me so much that she can even abandon her own daughter?”

Chandler comforted him. “Maybe she just wants to travel in Havenbrook. Maybe she won’t stay for long and will come back. There is no one she knows there. Even on weekends, there is no one to accompany her when she goes shopping. When she gets bored, maybe…”

People were nostalgic. Moreover, Havenbrook was not a place Anne was familiar with.

Not to mention other things, even the difference in diet may not be acceptable to Anne.

Dante shook his head. “She knows someone there! Max is in Havenbrook! They are old friends. He persuaded her to go there!”

Dante couldn’t accept the thought that their relationship might heat up quickly.

Chandler fell into deep thought.

“Did Meryl know that Anne went to Havenbrook to pursue her career? Did she support Anne to go to Havenbrook?”

Felix’s physical condition had improved visibly.

He could already walk a few steps slowly.

That day, after Meryl finished acupuncture for him, she said, “I’m going out in a few days, so I can’t continue to give you acupuncture. But you’ve recovered well, so you don’t need to do it every day…”

Felix raised his eyebrows. “Going out? Where are you going? When will you come back?”

Meryl replied, “I’m not sure, but I’ll leave you a prescription before I leave. Let Philip buy the medicine for you according to the prescription. It has the same effect as acupuncture.”

Felix narrowed his eyes and stared at Meryl for a few seconds. Then he said bluntly, “You are not going to disappear just like that, are you?”

Meryl was stunned. She didn’t expect Felix to be so smart and guess it right away.

Meryl didn’t say anything. She put away the acupuncture bag and stood up to leave.

But Felix grabbed her wrist, and his expression suddenly became serious.

“I’m half disabled now. After all, I’m your savior. Are you just going to abandon me like this?”

Meryl pursed her lips. “I’m not. I’ll leave you a prescription.”

“How can that be better than you taking care of me in person?” Felix frowned. “What about your son?”

“I’ll take him with me.”

Felix realized something. “Are you leaving Chandler?”

Meryl was silent.

Felix knew he was right.

When he heard that she was leaving to get rid of Chandler, Felix was slightly excited. “Okay, in that case, I fully support you leaving! But…”

He paused and said, “You have to take me with you.”

Meryl was speechless. “I’m going to Brookstone College of Music. What are you going to do?”

Felix suddenly understood.

He picked up the cup on the coffee table and drank it all in one gulp.

Because he drank too quickly, the water drops rolled down his throat to his pecs and slowly flowed down.

He had two buttons of his shirt unbuttoned, revealing the beautiful muscle texture.

He was so damn sexy.

Meryl looked away.

Perhaps because her throat had just been moistened by water, Felix’s voice sounded very attractive.

“I see. It just so happens that I’m going there to recuperate, so let’s go together.”

Meryl’s first reaction was to refuse.

But Felix suddenly stretched out a hand and pressed it on her lips. “Don’t rush to refuse me. You want to leave Chandler, but do you think he will let you and your son go easily? Why don’t you play along with me in a little act?”

“What act?”

“Just tell him that you are in love with me. In this way, he will transfer his resentment towards you to me. Let me bear his wrath for you.” In Felix’s eyes, there was an ambiguous hint of excitement. “What do you say?”
