Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

Chapter 416 Luckiest Guy

Meryl had made her choice so decisively, leaving Dalton without a glimmer of hope. For some reason, Dalton's mind drifted back to their student days.

It was their senior year, when they were both eighteen, at the graduation ceremony.

Their school had a tradition of hosting a masquerade ball for each year's commencement.

Back then, Dalton hadn't been in the car accident yet, nor had he mistaken Lydia for Meryl.

On the night of graduation, Dalton showed up at the

masquerade in a sharp tuxedo.

Even with a mask on her face, he spotted Meryl instantly among the sea of girls in cocktail dresses.

Dalton approached Meryl, extending his hand to her like a true gentleman.

When Meryl took his hand, becoming his date for the evening, Dalton felt like the dashing and luckiest guy in the room.

He could even picture a future where Meryl walked down the aisle towards him in a wedding dress.
