Chapter 652 Recharge My Batteries

Meryl was still trying to wrap her head around why Chandler had suddenly shown up at her class reunion.

She thought, "I haven't mentioned the venue to him, so how does he find out?

At this hour, shouldn't he be at Rachel's bedside, caring for her?"

But then, the memory of seeing Chandler kiss Rachel earlier that day darkened her mood.

With so many eyes on them, Meryl couldn't confront Chandler directly, but her gaze definitely held a hint of coldness.

As the party continued, Dalton felt increasingly out of place. He found a flimsy excuse to excuse himself early.

Lydia instinctively started to follow him, but he shot her a glare that made her hesitate.

Lydia bit her lip nervously as she followed behind. The moment the two of them stepped into the elevator, she quickly put on a pitiful expression. "Dalton, what's going on? We were just fine a minute ago. Why are you ignoring me?" she asked, her voice softening.

Because ever since Chandler had arrived, Dalton felt like everyone was looking at him as if he were the punchline of a joke.

Especially after Chandler's snide remark, he felt utterly humiliated.

All of this was Lydia's doing.

If she hadn't meddled and stirred up trouble between him and Meryl, things might have turned out differently.

Once they were in the elevator, away from prying eyes, Dalton dropped his facade.

"Lydia, just stop following me! You're disgusting!"

"Mom asked you to drive me home. Where do you think you're going?" Lydia shot back, trying to regain control.

As the elevator doors opened in the garage, Dalton shoved her

away.

"Why should I report my whereabouts to you? You think you're someone important?

He climbed into his car, refusing to even glance at her as he slammed the door and slammed his foot down on the gas, speeding off without another word. Chapter 652 Recharge My Batteries Lydia was left standing there, feeling abandoned.

She had finally managed to case the tension with Dalton. While he didn't love her, at least they had reached a point where they could coexist peacefully.

She had hoped that once their baby was born, it would create a new bond between them. Surely, Dalton would give her some respect for the sake of their child. Now, thanks to this reunion, everything was spiraling downward again.
