Chapter 720

Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After P... 1/7

Chapter 720 He Got Sucker Punched

Over here, Lydia was basking in the joy of successfully switching the baby. Ever since she had given birth a week ago, not a single member of the Aniston family had come to visit her at the hospital.

When Lydia was pregnant, Dalton's mother had been over the moon about the baby. But maybe because Sandra was Morton's mistress, Charlotte's attitude did completely change-she didn't

even bother to have someone check in on the child.

Then again, their indifference saved Lydia a lot of trouble. At least, this way, the baby swap had gone off without a hitch. She figured that once she was discharged and brought her perfectly healthy son back to the Aniston Villa, they were bound to love

him.

Lydia was confident. But even if they didn't, it didn't matter because this was Meryl's son. And watching Meryl's son suffer in the Aniston Villa? Now that was something Lydia would find deeply satisfying.

It wasn't just about the betrayal-Meryl had crossed a line, a fundamental one. And what made it worse was that Chandler had asked her, time and time again, whether things were truly over between her and Dalton. Every single time, she had sworn to him that they were.

Chandler had chosen to believe her because he wanted to.

Because he had hoped that the three of them could live together as a real family. And now? Not only had she lied to him, but the child he had been waiting so long to meet wasn't even his-it was Dalton's. And she had planned to fool him for the rest of his life?
