Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After…

Chapter 527 My Heart Belongs to Meryl

A minute later, Dalton called.

“Lydia, shut your mouth! Stop talking nonsense!” Dalton berated Lydia. “Don’t project your unsavory thoughts onto others!”

Lydia felt wronged, believing she hadn’t done anything wrong.

It was past midnight when she returned to the Stone residence.

After a shower, Lydia changed into a sexy nightgown.

Looking at herself in the mirror, she admired her features, beautiful from every angle.

She remembered how Dalton used to adore her.

During their happiest times together, he would cup her face in his hands and tell her she was breathtaking.

But it had been so long since Dalton really looked at her.

Lydia couldn’t accept this.

Dalton hadn’t come home yet. Recently, he’d been busy with something, always leaving early and returning late.

Not wanting to annoy him, Lydia hadn’t pried into his whereabouts.

She went to the wine cabinet and poured herself a glass of red wine. She’d barely finished half when Dalton walked in.

Lydia adjusted her appearance as she walked toward Dalton, catching his tie and pulling him inside from the doorway.

She moved gracefully, proud of her natural elegance that few could resist.

She walked toward Dalton, confidently tugging at his tie to pull him inside from the doorway.

Compared to Dalton’s crisp business suit, Lydia was dressed casually in her evening wear.

It was her favorite outfit, accentuating her figure perfectly.

Lydia’s gaze held unmistakable meaning as she looked at Dalton.

“Dalton, you’re finally back. Hasn’t it been ages since we…”

Their last intimate moment had been at the hospital shortly after Lydia’s miscarriage.

That night, something had sparked in Dalton, and despite his injuries, he had stayed close to her.

Lydia had hoped that moment would change things between them.

But Dalton remained distant.

These days, he barely spoke to her at all.

Tonight, she had merely suggested that something might be going on between Meryl and Felix, and Dalton had snapped at her furiously.

His constant defense of Meryl hurt Lydia deeply.

After all, Dalton was her husband!

Lydia’s gaze at Dalton was filled with blatant seduction.

Dalton noticed it, of course.

But he wasn’t interested in her at all!

Dalton raised his hand and gently pushed the woman in front of him away. “I’m tired and it’s late. You should get some sleep too,” he said coolly.

With that, Dalton grabbed his pajamas and turned to leave for another room.

Lydia was absolutely stunned.

“Isn’t this obvious enough?” she thought.

“I mean, I’m practically throwing myself at him! How could he just ignore me like this?”

She ran after him and wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, her delicate hands teasing his abdomen.

Today was her fertile day. If they had sex, there was a good chance she could get pregnant.

Lydia didn’t want to miss such a perfect opportunity.

After her miscarriage, Charlotte had gone back to treating her coldly, even worse than before.

With Dalton being distant, too, Lydia felt insecure. She desperately wanted to have a baby to secure her position.

“Dalton, we’re husband and wife. I don’t want to sleep in separate beds.”

Dalton was in no mood to deal with her. He peeled her hands off him.

“My heart belongs to Meryl alone. If you can’t handle that, let’s get divorced.”

With those words, Dalton left the room.

Lydia stood there, her face a mask of disbelief.
