Chapter 466 Pleasant Phone Call

Dalton was much steadier than before, remaining calm even after intruding on their intimacy.

His sudden intrusion broke the romantic atmosphere in the kitchen. The vibe also became quite subtle.

Chandler took Meryl off the counter and gently straightened her clothes.

Dalton watched him do that the whole time.

Chandler gently pinched Meryl’s cheek. “Honey, why don’t you finish cooking for us? I’ll wait for you in the living room.”

Meryl was stunned after realizing that Chandler would leave her alone with Dalton. Despite the shock, she smiled and nodded.

Meryl soon understood Chandler’s hint: The more obedient and virtuous she was, the more face Chandler had. Every man cared about their self-esteem.

Dalton kidnapped and caged her illegally for several days, which had angered Chandler. The woman who turned down Dalton’s pursuit was actually quite appealing. Chandler was so scheming, and she loved it.

When Chandler left the kitchen, he deliberately left the door ajar.

Meryl cleaned her hands and stirred the pasta in the pot.

Dalton took out some plates from the cupboard and put them on the cooking table.

“I heard from the servants that you and Uncle Chandler make love from time to time,” he said.

Meryl wondered why any servant would stumble upon them making out when they lived in a remote room in the villa. That was impossible, and Meryl thought Dalton was just testing her.

She calmly put the pasta on the plate, but she didn’t respond to Dalton.

Dalton didn’t mind and continued, “You’re still pregnant and need rest rather than frequent sex. Meryl, do you think Uncle Chandler really cares about you and wants you to give birth to this baby?”

When she put the remaining pasta onto the plate, some slipped into the pot, and some boiling water splashed on her hand. She instinctively dropped her cooking tongs.

The back of her hand was red, and she couldn’t help frowning, recalling the phone call she had with Anne in the afternoon. Anne said that the rumors in Kingsdom had it that she was pregnant with Dalton’s child.

Dalton stepped aside to the washbasin and turned on the faucet for her. He didn’t have any improper intentions and always kept a distance from Meryl.

Meryl washed the back of her hand under the cold water.

Dalton came to the stove and put the rest of the pasta onto the plate.

“If a man truly loves you, he won’t mind your past.” Dalton seemed to be talking to himself. “I told you long ago that Chandler is not as simple as you think, Meryl. He will always take the lead in your relationship. Don’t get too close.”

After that, Dalton picked up the dinner plate and tilted his head at Meryl. “I’ll bring it to the dining room first.”

Then, he opened the kitchen door and left.

The cold water on the back of her hand eased the burning pain.

Meryl turned off the tap and took the remaining two plates of pasta to the dining room.

In the dining room, Chandler was having a pleasant call with someone else. It was the first time Meryl knew he had such a happy phone call.

As she approached him, Chandler hung up the phone and said, “What did you and Dalton talk about?”
