Chapter 3 Silent Whispers
Meryl struggled to catch her breath, gripping the edges of her sleeves as if they might keep her grounded.
Why did he have to not only reject her but also humiliate her?
After a moment, she steadied herself, looked up at Dalton, and forced a smile. "Dalton, just because I have feelings for you doesn't mean you can belittle me."
Dalton was momentarily taken aback by her smile, a rare sight these days.
He found himself staring at her longer than he meant to, but by the time he realized it, Meryl had already looked away.
He loosened his tie and stubbed out his cigarette, acknowledging that Meryl had changed.
Though he wouldn't admit it, she wasn't the same woman who used to light up a room with her smile.
It was as if her spirit had withered away.
It didn't affect him directly, but it stirred an unsettling discomfort within him.
Dalton couldn't quite figure out what was bothering him.
Shaking off the confusion, he reminded her, "Today is Lydia's birthday. I'll take you back to the Stone Villa later, but remember to behave. Don't cause trouble. Lydia is nothing like you." Meryl's heart sank at his words.
To Dalton, Lydia was a cherished prize, while she was deemed unworthy even as a mere accessory.
