Chapter 389 Retch

“Chandler, are you leaving now?”

John saw Chandler standing up to leave and asked in surprise, “Dinner is about to start. Why don’t you stay and finish your meal before leaving?”

“No,” Chandler said hurriedly, “I have something to do.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he disappeared out the gate of the house.

John wondered why they were all so mysterious.

A few minutes later, someone brought figurines.

John took a look at the messages with Meryl and vaguely realized something.

John thought, “When did I tell Meryl that I wanted figurines? Why is she so weird?”

Meryl’s hunger strike lasted only two days.

On the third day, she began to eat on her own initiative.

However, perhaps because she had just become pregnant, she had severe morning sickness and would vomit everything out.

If she wanted to escape, she must conserve her energy. Without energy, her efforts would be in vain.

Dalton came again on the sixth night of her imprisonment.

Because she hadn’t eaten much for several days, Meryl had become thinner and looked haggard.

The servants in the villa were very caring towards her and prepared delicious food for her in various ways. Seeing that Meryl had no appetite, they made her some soup.

These days, Meryl almost lived on soup.

When Dalton came in the middle of the night, he saw that the lights in Meryl’s room were off and did not come to disturb her rest.

But the next morning, when Meryl got up, she saw Dalton having breakfast in the restaurant.

Meryl went downstairs. Dalton handed her a cup of warm milk. “Drink this. It will relieve your morning sickness.”

Such a familiar and caring tone almost gave her the illusion that they were still a couple.

Meryl sat down and did not drink the milk he handed her. Instead, she poured herself a cup of warm water.

“Dalton, how long are you going to keep me here?”

It had been almost a week. Dalton had not come over in the past few days, and even the gate of the villa was closed.

There was only one car every morning that delivered fresh fruits and vegetables.

Moreover, every time the car arrived, there would be several servants watching her, obviously to prevent her from taking the opportunity to escape.

Meryl was under control.

Dalton was rich and powerful. He didn’t keep people who were useless. With so many people monitoring her, let alone escaping, she might not even be able to leave the building.

Dalton noticed her resentment.

“I will stay here with you for the next few days.”

He stared at Meryl with gentle eyes. “Meryl, we have plenty of time to cultivate our relationship.”

“Oh…”

Not sure if it was because of these words or the pregnancy reaction, Meryl couldn’t help it and started retching in front of Dalton.

Dalton’s face suddenly turned gloomy.

He said, “Meryl, do you dislike me so much? Were you unhappy during those seven years when we were dating? I finally changed my mind. Don’t you want to go back to the way we were before?”

Without hesitation, she said, "I don’t."

After saying that, she went back to her room.

“Meryl, you are so willful now just because of my love for you.”
