Lydia bit her lips until they turned pale, hiding behind Dalton with visible nervousness. 

Chandler smiled softly and said, “Of course, I’m forcing you to apologize to Meryl.” 

Even though he was smiling, his words made everyone around him tread carefully. 

Lydia trembled. Seeing that Dalton had no reaction, she resignedly walked over to Meryl. 

Faced with Chandler’s pressure, Lydia had to apologize. If she didn’t comply, Chandler might not do anything to her. He would take it out 

on oll. 

She couldn’t let Dalton harbor any resentment towards her.

anymore. 

She was truly wronged.

How desperate must she have been to choose to cut ties with

He had a business engagement tonight, so he arrived a bit late. If he had come just a little earlier, maybe she wouldn’t have had to face all of that alone. 

Chandler gently tucked her stray hair behind her ear and pulled her into his arms. “They didn’t hurt you, did they?” he asked. 

Meryl shook her head slightly. 

“Are you hurt anywhere? Does your ankle still hurt?” Chandler asked, glancing down. 

“It’s nothing. It always hurts when it rains. I’m used to it,” Meryl
