Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison
Chapter 231

Chapter 231 I Love You

Dalton stared into the distance. Though not usually sentimental,

he now felt deeply upset, as if an invisible giant hand was clutching and tearing at his heart.

Lydia asked, "Dalton, are you still blaming me? It was wrong of me to deceive you, but I love you. All my behavior stemmed from my affection for you."

She approached him. "Forget about this matter, and let's live a good life. Are you going to keep holding it against me just because I lied?"

Lydia appeared innocent and pitiful, gazing at Dalton with tears in her eyes.

He pivoted around, jumped down from the railing, and suddenly walked up to her.

Her eyes were as red as a rabbit's, reminiscent of the day he rescued her three years ago when she was kidnapped by gangsters.

However, at that moment, he only found it ironic. After all, she was so good at disguising.

Lydia actually expected him to forgive her deception by saying that she loved him.

Dalton felt that he had been fooled by her all along.

He thought that she was very hypocritical, wondering if the tears on her face were just a ploy to win his sympathy and make him relent.

"Lydia, tell me, did Meryl really sleep with that gangster three years ago?" Dalton asked, staring into Lydia's eyes.

She was stunned when he suddenly brought up the incident from three years ago.

Lacking confidence, she looked up and met his keen eyes.

Lydia bit her lip and subconsciously clenched her fists.

She took a deep breath before replying firmly, "I definitely didn't lie to you about this! Meryl really slept with the gangster! Have you forgotten that you heard the gangster admit it himself back then?" Dalton asked, "You really didn't stage the kidnapping yourself, did you?"

Lydia was surprised. "You actually suspected that I staged it all by myself? Why would I risk my reputation to frame her? Dalton, you can't doubt everything just because I lied to you about one thing." Noticing that Dalton's coldness had not faded, she shed tears and vowed resolutely, "I swear if I lied to you about the kidnapping, a miserable death will await me." Chapter 231 I Love You

Her serious vow revealed her sincerity.

But for some reason, Dalton actually didn't dare to believe her.

He wanted to see Meryl and hear her statement in person.

Dalton pushed Lydia away, turned around, and went downstairs.

She hurriedly trotted to catch up. "Dalton, wait for me. I'm wearing high heels and can't walk fast."

She tried to hold his hand.

However, Dalton didn't wait for her and even withdrew hist hand.

Lydia fixed her eyes on him in shock.

His tone was very icy, and he didn't even look back at her.

"Lydia, let's be apart for a few days!"

Lydia instantly burst into tears. "What did you say?"

She ran and chased after Dalton.

But he walked faster and faster, almost disappearing from view.

Lydia, growing anxious, quickened her pace, but her high heels got caught in a crack in the concrete floor. Chapter 231 I Love You

She leaned forward and immediately fell to her knees.

"Ouch! It hurts!"
