Chapter 266 Stop Texting Me
It was Christmas Eve, and everyone was planning to stay overnight at the Aniston Villa.
Dalton, knowing Chandler and Meryl would be there, dragged his feet and didn’t show up until late in the evening.
He couldn’t bear to see the two of them together. It made his heart ache.
Thankfully, Dylan called Chandler into the study after dinner, leaving Meryl alone.

After taking a shower and drying her hair, Meryl saw a new text message on her phone.

[I’m waiting for you in the garden downstairs. There’s something I need to tell you.]
Meryl knew that number by heart. Even though she had deleted Dalton’s number long ago, she still remembered every digit.
Meryl paid it no mind. Given their current situation, it was neither appropriate nor wise for them to meet in private, especially at the Aniston Villa. Who knew how many prying eyes were lurking about?
About ten minutes later, her phone buzzed again. Dalton texted: [Are you here yet? It’s a bit chilly out, so bundle up.]

Sure enough, there was a shadowy figure in the garden, looking up in her direction.
Their eyes met silently across the distance, and Meryl quickly closed the curtains.

She opened Twitter and scrolled through the trending topics, most of which were about Christmas.
Just then, her phone buzzed again.
[If you don’t come out, I’ll wait here all night. Meryl, could you really bear to see me waiting in the freezing cold until morning?]
Meryl was speechless.
She never expected Dalton to resort to this kind of emotional blackmail.
She and Chandler were staying in a small, separate cottage. At this hour, they should have been enjoying a peaceful evening together, but there was Dalton standing outside…
