Chapter 215 Melody
Dalton and Lydia were sitting behind them.
1/6
Seeing Chandler and Meryl coming up, Dalton and Lydia were also stunned.
Ever since Lydia married Dalton, the Aniston family ignored her, and Charlotte, Dalton’s mother, disliked her.
Chandler was the elder and the head of the Aniston family, so Lydia quickly pulled Dalton to greet him, “Uncle Chandler, Meryl.”
“Yeah.” Chandler responded lightly and sat down in the front
row.
There were six seats in first class, and they occupied four.
There were two more, sitting Walter and the cello.
People who boarded the plane later saw that a cello occupied a single seat in the first–class cabin and stared at Walter as if he were an idiot.
Even after walking away, their discussions could still be heard.
“That man looks quite smart, but how come he is a little bit stupid? He didn’t check in such a big cello. Is he rich but stupid?”
Chapter 215 Melody
Walter was speechless.

The cello Walter brought was too conspicuous, stunning Lydia. “The cello…”
“Chandler gave it to me,” Meryl answered calmly.
Lydia was taken aback. “Meryl, you’re traveling so far on business, and you’re bringing a cello with you?”
Meryl nodded. “Yes, because I’m going to perform at the annual party.”
Lydia was panicked by her words, and her voice rose as she asked in surprise, “You’re playing the cello at the annual party?”
Meryl turned her head calmly and looked at Lydia. “Yeah. Is there any problem?”
Lydia felt flustered, with her heart pounding.
Meryl was actually going to play the cello at the annual party! Didn’t that mean that Dalton would listen to it!
Oh, no!
She was screwed!
What if Dalton realized that the person who played the cello was actually Meryl?
Chapter 215 Melody
Lydia subconsciously clenched her palms and glanced at the cello placed right behind her.
The musical instrument was wrapped tightly in a bag, and Walter stared at it intently.
3/6
No! She had to think of a way to prevent Meryl from playing the cello…
Otherwise, if she just watched it happen, she’d be doomed!
If Dalton found out that he had recognized the wrong person from the beginning…
Lydia didn’t dare to think any further!
Dalton was a little distracted.
So, the cello piece he heard on his colleague’s phone a few days prior was performed by Meryl?
How would Meryl know that song?
The melody was unpopular, and Lydia claimed to have composed it. It was this tune that awakened him from a coma in
a car accident, saving his life.
But how did Meryl know that?
Didn’t she stop playing the cello a long time ago?
Did Meryl overhear Lydia playing the cello and learn it from
Chapter 215 Melody her?
No, it sounded wrong.
Meryl was better at the cello than Lydia.
4/6
Despite some errors in the phone recording, she managed the emotional aspects more effectively than Lydia.
And it was more like the melody he heard while he was unconscious.
Dalton felt extremely irritated.
Back then, because of this piece of cello music, he started to admire Lydia.
The person he liked was Meryl, but a car accident when he was eighteen changed everything.
After waking up, he asked Meryl why she suddenly stopped playing the cello.
Meryl just said it was boring.
He wanted to hear her play the cello, but Meryl had never played for him.
Dalton thought Meryl’s interest in the cello was just a passing fancy, so he didn’t force her.
But unlike Meryl, who always made excuses, Lydia always met
Chapter 215 Melody his requirements.
5/6
Because of their musical compatibility, he began to get closer to Lydia.
Lydia was good at the cello as well as the piano.
At the centenary celebration of the school, Dalton and Lydia planned to play the piano together.
However, Lydia was unable to perform after sustaining an injury to her hand.
That was the first time Dalton lost his temper with Meryl.
He didn’t anticipate Meryl’s jealousy leading to Lydia’s pain, and it was the first time he found her hateful.
Dalton was in a daze until he got off the plane.
Lydia called him several times, but Dalton never came back to his senses.
Lydia frowned. “Dalton, what’s in your mind? Why are you ignoring me? We should get off the plane.”
She glanced at the row ahead and noticed Chandler and Meryl were gone.
Dalton didn’t move but looked at Lydia and asked, “Lydia, are you hiding anything from me?”
Chapter 215 Melody
Lydia was startled and inexplicably panicked. “What do you mean?”
6/6
Dalton stared into her eyes. “If you have something to hide from me, you’d better tell me now. I hate being deceived.”
Lydia forced a smile, realizing that Dalton might know it!
However, since that incident, Meryl had never played the cello in front of Dalton, so he couldn’t possibly know!
Lydia felt relieved.
No matter what, she must stop Meryl from playing the cello at the annual party!
She couldn’t lose Dalton!
