Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 274 She Slept With a Thug

As Lydia mentioned the kidnapping from three years ago, Dalton's expression turned ice cold.

His voice was equally cold. "Lydia, that kidnapping-wasn't it something you orchestrated yourself?"

Lydia hurriedly denied it, "Absolutely not! Dalton, did Meryl say something to you? Don't believe her. Of course she would claim she's innocent! Have you forgotten? You confronted Rocky, and he admitted that he and Meryl slept together!"

The mention of Rocky made Dalton suddenly fall silent.

Seeing Dalton's hesitation, Lydia quickly sidled up to him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Dalton, I know you still care about me. We've been through so much to finally be together. You're only angry because I deceived you. I swear, I'll never lie to you again. Please, give me another chance."

Dalton rubbed his temples, looking exhausted. "Lydia, just sign the papers. It's for the best, for both of us."

Lydia didn't sign. Instead, she picked up the agreement and tore it into pieces.

Dalton didn't argue with her. He just looked at her coldly.. "Lydia, this is the second time I'm asking for a divorce. By now, you must have moved past the initial shock and started to accept
