Chapter 129 I’m His Wife
Outside the door, Dalton clutched Meryl’s sleeve, his brows tightly knitted, looking utterly helpless.
Noticing the gazes of the crowd, Dalton lowered his voice, speaking only so that the two of them could hear. “Let’s have a good talk later. Can I have Elias take you back first, please?”
Dalton’s tone carried an air of surrender and negotiation. He was usually arrogant, always the one flattered by others.
Being able to talk to Meryl like this, he was already being very patient. He hoped she would take the hint and back down.
But Meryl remained unmoved. She tilted her head, looking puzzled. “You’re taking me back? I’m Chandler’s wife. Shouldn’t I go back with him?”
Dalton and everyone else were stunned.
Meryl’s pursuit of Chandler had caused quite a stir. First, she publicly kissed Chandler, and then she confessed her feelings to him in public.
Such sensational events were impossible for the Anistons to ignore.
Moreover, Cameron, who was from the third branch of the family, was a gossip. While having coffee with other rich ladies, she heard about it. It only took five minutes after she got home for even their dog to know about it.
Hearing Meryl claim to be Chandler’s wife, everyone thought she had gone mad.
They thought, “Meryl must have been too heartbroken by yesterday’s wedding that she came here to throw a tantrum this morning.”
Lydia arrived early today.
Last time at the hospital, Charlotte gave her a cold face and even slapped her in public, leaving Lydia unable to save face. In fact, Lydia originally didn’t want to come to Aniston Villa alone.
With Dalton present, Charlotte dared to hit her, let alone when Dalton wasn’t there.
But Dalton had something urgent to do, and if she didn’t arrive on time, the consequences could be even worse.
The Anistons were people she couldn’t offend. Although she had married Dalton, according to the Aniston family’s rules, the Anistons needed to formally recognize her with a formal visit, and she needed to receive a gift prepared by the Anistons before she could be considered a member of the Aniston family.
Therefore, Lydia came to Aniston Villa early in the morning to serve the elders, hoping that during the formal recognition ceremony later on, they wouldn’t be too hard on her.
Lydia brought a lot of gifts for them, and these gifts cost her forty or fifty million.
She gave the gifts to the elders, but they were quite cold to her, especially Charlotte.
From the moment she arrived, Charlotte hadn’t shown a smile. Instead, she kept giving orders and treating her like a maid.
Meryl’s arrival gave Lydia a way to vent all the humiliations she had suffered.
Lydia walked over to Meryl. “Meryl, stop talking nonsense! This is Aniston Villa. I can tolerate your rudeness in our house, but what are you doing here? Do you actually expect Chandler to take you back? Chandler’s time is precious. Why would he give a ride to an outsider?”
“I’m his wife, not an outsider,” Meryl said with an innocent face.
She walked up to Lydia, making her look like a maid beside a princess.
Meryl was so dazzling that everyone’s eyes involuntarily focused on her.
Lydia was wearing a long pink dress. Pink is usually a playful color, but it wasn’t as eye-catching as Meryl’s pale yellow palace dress, and it even made Lydia seem like a welcome committee member.
Lydia was furious. Today, she was supposed to be the main character, but Meryl took the spotlight. And people were fascinated by the way they looked at Meryl.
Lydia glared at Meryl, “What are you talking about, Meryl? Are you delirious? How could Chandler possibly marry you!”
Meryl appeared helpless. “But I am indeed married to him.”
“Stop making trouble. Let’s go, I’ll take you back!” Dalton went to grab Meryl’s hand.
Lydia’s face changed, thinking, “Today, I’m supposed to meet the elders of the Aniston family formally, and Dalton says he’ll send Meryl back. What about me? What am I to him?”
