Chapter 272 Fireworks
After Dalton was taken away by Cate in the middle of the night, he never returned to his room.
Lydia originally thought that once they returned to the Aniston Villa, she would finally see Dalton and have a good talk with him.
But after dinner, while Lydia was helping the servants clean up the table, Dalton was nowhere to be found.
She couldn’t reach him on the phone, and since appearing at the Aniston Villa that evening, Dalton hadn’t said a single word to Lydia.
The members of the Aniston family were all as sharp as ever, making Lydia feel inexplicably uneasy.
She feared that someone might notice that there was something wrong between her and Dalton, so she didn’t stay up with the others until Christmas.
At midnight, fireworks lit up the sky outside.
Everyone was celebrating the arrival of the Christmas, but Lydia was pacing nervously in her room.
The fireworks were too dazzling, so she looked out the window.

The sky exploded in a dazzling display of light, like giant flowers blooming against the darkness, turning night into day. Countless streams of light intertwined, creating a breathtaking spectacle.
Just then, there was a faint knock on the door, but the noise from the fireworks was so loud that Lydia didn’t hear it right away.
When the fireworks ended, she turned around and was startled to see Dalton standing there, his eyes cold as he stared at her. Lydia hesitated for a moment, then quickly put on a smile.
“Dalton, you’re finally back. I’ve been looking for you all night. Where did you go?”
As they said, lovers‘ quarrels were soon mended.
Lydia had already showered and slipped into a seductive nightgown, eagerly awaiting Dalton’s return.
She knew that Dalton would definitely be staying at the Aniston Villa tonight.
To prepare for this moment, she had readied a seductive aroma, certain that once lit, it would ignite a passionate fire between her
and Dalton.
Lydia was aware that Dalton held deep reservations about her, and this was her only chance to turn things around.
The moment she saw Dalton appear, her first instinet was to light the scented candle.

Perhaps due to her nervousness, the lighter flicked a few times but failed to produce a spark.
“If it won’t light, then don’t bother,” Dalton said coldly.
Lydia refused to give up and tried again twice more, finally managing to light it.
In the next instant, she threw herself at Dalton. “Dalton, you’ve been away for days. I was starting to think you didn’t want me anymore.”
Lydia gently nuzzled her head against Dalton’s chest, looking as delicate as a bird seeking shelter.
Her small hands clung tightly to Dalton’s waist, her fingers lingering there almost absentmindedly.
“Please don’t be mad at me, okay?” She lifted her head to gaze up at him, her eyes brimming with unshed tears, a wellspring of emotion that seemed ready to overflow at any moment.
Her pitiful expression could melt anyone’s heart.
As her eyelashes quivered slightly, a hot tear finally escaped, landing on Dalton’s chest and soaking into his shirt, leaving a darkened, wet stain.
The atmosphere was perfectly set.
Scented candles burned quietly nearby, filling the air with a rich,

The mysterious, alluring scent in the air instantly triggered a surge of hormones, making everyone feel an exhilarating rush.
Dalton’s eyes suddenly narrowed with a dangerous glint as he noticed Lydia starting to unbutton his shirt. He seemed to understand what was happening.
His gaze shifted to the scented candle Lydia had hastily lit moments earlier. With a wave, the candle was knocked to the floor, causing a sharp noise.
Lydia gasped, “Dalton…”
The scent of nicotine lingered on Dalton, mixed with the heavy aroma of alcohol–he had clearly been drinking.
Dalton grabbed her chin with one hand and sneered, “Lydia! How dare you try to use such a dirty trick on me?”
