Chapter 650 He's Coming

1/7

Lydia watched from the sidelines, feeling a knot of discomfort in

her stomach.

She had invited Meryl here today with the intention of embarrassing Meryl, but who would have thought that as soon as Meryl arrived, she would become the star of the gathering thanks to that piece of music?

The news that Meryl had recently become Harvey's protégé only added fuel to the fire, drawing more and more people eager to curry favor with her.

And who was Harvey?

He was a top figure in Kingsdom, with connections that could open doors to countless opportunities.

As she watched Meryl bask in the limelight, surrounded by admirers, Lydia instinctively placed a hand on her own belly.

The thought of her unborn child, who was diagnosed with a congenital heart defect, twisted her heart with anguish.

A flash of resentment flickered in Lydia's eyes as she glanced at Meryl's midsection.

She quickly dialed Dalton.

She wanted him to come pick her up, a small victory to reclaim some dignity.

"Dalton... I'm almost done here. Can you come and get me?"

Dalton had been busy with work lately, but tonight, he happened to be nearby at dinner, just a five-minute drive away. Charlotte had been keeping a close eye on Lydia, worried about the baby, and had initially insisted she skip the gathering. But Lydia had promised that Dalton would come to fetch her, which finally eased Charlotte's concerns.

Just to be safe, Charlotte had called Dalton to remind him to pick Lydia up after his dinner.

No matter how much he might not want to be around her, he still had to respect his mother's wishes.

A few minutes later, Dalton arrived at the event, impeccably dressed in a sharp suit.
