Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After
Chapter 528 Where Is She?
“How could Dalton tell me so bluntly that his heart belongs to another woman?
Does he not care at all how I, his wife, might feel about this?
1/5
Is Dalton avoiding intimacy with me because he’s saving himself for Meryl?
What a joke!
My husband, staying faithful to another woman!”
Lydia felt utterly humiliated.
In the guest room, Dalton closed his eyes, his thoughts in turmoil.
Meryl had met with Felix again tonight, even going to Powell
Manor.
“What did they do?”
That night, Dalton had witnessed Meryl begging Felix to spare him as he was being dragged by the car.
*
That foolish woman, she better not have agreed to any of Felix’s outrageous demands just to save me.

Felix was a devil who was capable of anything.

The more Dalton thought about it, the more anxious he became, imagining scenes of Felix forcing Meryl into something terrible.
He opened his door and headed to the attic, where Chandler and Meryl stayed at the Aniston Villa
The attic lights were off, suggesting no one was home.
Dalton stood in the darkness for a moment. Just as he was about to leave, he turned around and locked eyes with Chandler.
“Where’s Meryl, Uncle Chandler? Isn’t she back yet?”
Chandler let out a sneer.
He swung his fist hard into Dalton’s face and spat, “Fuck off!”
Not only was Dalton lusting after his woman, but he had the nerve to show up in the middle of the night asking about Meryl’s whereabouts.
Chandler couldn’t stomach it.
The swelling from yesterday’s bruise had barely gone down on Dalton’s face when this new punch instantly left another bluish mark at the corner of his mouth.
But Dalton wasn’t giving up.
“She’s not back yet, is she? Uncle Chandler, do you know where

she went?”

Chandler had no intention of telling Dalton about Meryl going to the orchestra.
He narrowed his eyes, reached into his pocket for a cigarette, and lit it between his lips.
The night breeze made the red ember flicker, casting an unfeeling look across Chandler’s face.
“Dalton, want to know how I dealt with unruly criminals at the police academy?”
His gaze was deep. “Once, a criminal tried to escape. I caught him myself and broke both his legs. He’s been crippled ever since, can’t even stand up. Want to find out how that feels?”
Dalton caught the threat in Chandler’s words.
Chandler was clearly warning him to back off from Meryl, or else he wouldn’t show any mercy.
But Dalton was worried something might actually happen to Meryl.
“Uncle Chandler, Lydia just saw Meryl coming out of Felix’s room at Powell Manor.

“You know what Felix is like he’s totally unreliable. At this hour of the night, don’t you think he might try something with Meryl…”

Before Dalton could finish, Chandler had already turned and walked away.
Chandler jumped into his car and took off like a shot.
Once inside, he tried calling Meryl.
But her phone was switched off, and no one answered.
His frown deepened as he pressed harder on the gas pedal.
Everything Chandler knew about Felix came from Rachel.
All he understood was that Felix and Rachel had been engaged.
According to Rachel, she wanted to break off the engagement because Felix was nothing but trouble, an actual wild card.
Chandler couldn’t figure out why Meryl would be with Felix in the middle of the night, especially when she wasn’t answering her phone.
He was worried sick about her, afraid Felix might take advantage of her somehow.
Twenty minutes later, his car pulled up outside the orchestra’s
venue.
The doors were locked, and security was checking IDs at the entrance. Chandler was stopped at the door.

Unable to get in, he tried calling Meryl again.
This time, she finally picked up.
