Chapter 143 Her Forever Only Lasted A Few Months
When she was saying these words, Peyton went through all the sad things that had happened in her life. That’s why she looked at him with tears in her eyes.
She knew she couldn’t confront Nolan head–on anymore. After all, they used to be married. She knew his temperament better than anyone else. Being gentle was the best strategy.
Her voice was calm, without any complaints or questioning, and her eyes were filled with tears.
Tears can make people disgusted, but when used properly, they can also become a weapon.
For example, at that time, Nolan felt his throat was a little dry and felt guilty.
“I knew,” Nolan said, hanging his head with a look of pity in his eyes.
He put his hands on Peyton’s shoulders, licked his lips and said, “I know too much has happened between us. We can’t go back to the past. Paula’s matter is now settled. Stay with me. I will take good care of you in the future.”
This was a big concession on his part.
Peyton sneered inwardly. How could everything be just forgotten after he had hurt her like that?
In order not to affect her plans, Peyton looked sad and leaned gently in Nolan’s arms.
Nolan felt unprecedentedly nervous about her proactive approach.
After all, this woman was angrily pointing at his head in the morning. But in the evening, she suddenly became so gentle.
Their relationship was strained over the course of two years. Such tender moments were rare.
He even tensed his body and waited silently for Peyton to speak.
“Nolan.”
Upon hearing this title, Nolan felt his heart being scratched. He responded with a nod.
“Let’s talk things over.”
“You said.”

Peyton wrapped her hands around his waist. Just like before, she told him about what happened on the island in a gentle voice, as if she was still being playful with him.
“At first, I was only trying to save Chris. Later on, I truly fell in love with that place where no one hurt me. Every person on the island was very kind. I really wanted to help them.”
She carefully lifted her head to observe Nolan’s expression. After confirming that Nolan’s face was not cold, she continued to speak, “Eric is a lively child, Rene has great artistic talent, and Mrs. Manley only had one set of warm underwear, but she gave it to Chris to use as a diaper.”
“What do you want me to do?” Surprisingly, Nolan was very easy to talk to.
Peyton felt a little happy. Then, she explained her plan.
“I knew it.”
She looked at him expectantly, “So, what about you…”
“I could develop the small island, but there was one condition.”
Peyton’s black pupils were flickering.
“You said.”
In front of the clean and bright French windows, Nolan leaned slightly and whispered to Peyton’s ear, “I want you to stay by my side forever. You are not allowed to leave.”
Peyton’s body trembled slightly.
He was the one who proposed the divorce in the first place, but now he
is still the one who wants her to stay
She felt that she couldn’t understand Nolan at all.
Thinking that she only had a few months left, she nodded without hesitation.
“Okay.”
Her forever only lasted a few months.
Nolan felt uneasy, possibly because she answered too quickly.
He had intended to ask a few more questions, but he was afraid that if he brought up the topic from earlier in the morning, they would both feel uncomfortable.
He tightened his hands around the ring on Peyton’s waist. “If you dare to leave again, I will burn that island. You know I’m not joking with you.”
His body was burning hot, but his voice was incredibly cold.
Peyton gently tugged at the clothes around his waist and calmly said, “Nolan, I have one more request.”
