Chapter 29 What Had I Just Done
Lydia clenched her fists and pressed her lips.
She knew all too well that with Dalton’s personality, the
suspicion would only deepen once he started doubting if she didn’t come clean.
“Dalton, I just wanted to get some photos taken by the
paparazzi. I had no idea it would escalate to TV reporters and blow up like this.”
Dalton was fond of Lydia and had even considered marrying her despite his family’s objections.
But feeling manipulated into this situation forced him, which was something Dalton found hard to accept.
Being pushed forward against his will inevitably made him rebellious.
Seeing the grim look on Dalton’s face, Lydia reached for hist hand. “Dalton, I just really want to be with you.”
Dalton didn’t respond and kept walking.
“Dalton?” When Lydia saw him avoid her touch, her eyes quickly reddened.
Only then did Dalton turn to look at her, his voice tinged with helplessness. “Aren’t we supposed to hold
supposed to hold a press conference?
The reporters are ready. You better wipe away those tears!”
Hearing that, Lydia was finally relieved.
She ran up to him and threw herself into his arms, wrapping her arms around his waist, her voice soft and pleading.
“Love is selfish. I want to stand by your side, Dalton. I’ll take the blame, but Chandler only gave me three days. If I can’t win you over, he’ll deal with me.
“I don’t care about myself, but I can’t bear to leave you, so I had no choice.”
Thinking of the years Lydia had spent with him, enduring silently, Dalton suddenly felt a deep sympathy for her.
Love, indeed, was selfish. All because Lydia loved him too much.
But Meryl had never schemed against him…
He looked down, his eyes filled with sadness.
Perhaps it was the change of environment, or maybe because they were going to get a marriage license the next morning, Meryl couldn’t sleep.
