Chapter 148 I Disdained To Do So
As soon as Nolan entered the door, he saw Peyton’s face drained of color, revealing a pale and sickly appearance.
Nolan noticed that Peyton’s hand was shaking a little. He frowned and strode quickly towards Peyton.
Nolan asked, “What were you looking at?”
Peyton didn’t cover up. Nolan saw the gruesome car accident scene at a glance. The scene was bloody, no wonder Peyton looked so bad.
“What’s there to see in these things?” Nolan thought it was a video that Peyton stumbled upon accidentally. Nolan was about to close the video when he realized something was off. Nolan discovered that it wasn’t a recent car accident.
Peyton turned off her phone and casually asked, “Were you at the scene when my dad had the car accident?”
Nolan didn’t know that Peyton had wanted to go after Chris for this reason. When Peyton suddenly brought it up, Nolan lowered his gaze and met Peyton’s eyes, answering, “Yes.”
That day, I was supposed to go to the G20 Chamber of Commerce, but I had a car accident on the way, so I changed my route. I didn’t expect to come across your father’s car accident scene.
Just as Peyton had expected, everything was being manipulated by someone behind the scenes, and Peyton almost fell for it.
The incident with the tombstone caused Nolan to misunderstand Peyton, and the accident caused Peyton to misunderstand Nolan.
Wasn’t Peyton and Nolan pushed step by step to get to where they are today?
That person was so cruel!
Seeing Peyton’s silence and even more unpleasant expression, Nolan also felt that something was wrong. Nolan said, “You don’t think I planned everything, do you?”
Nolan grabbed Peyton’s shoulder and said very seriously, “Peyton, stop your unrealistic daydreaming. If I wanted to kill Kason, he would have died ten thousand times already.”
Nolan said in a cold tone, “Even if I were to take action, I would never involve innocent people or take someone else’s life to cover up the truth. If I wanted to, I have a hundred or even a thousand ways to kill without leaving a trace…”
Nolan had not finished speaking when Peyton suddenly rushed into his arms. Peyton hugged Nolan’s waist with both hands and said, “I believe.”
Nolan reached out and grabbed Peyton’s chin, forcing her gaze to meet his. He stared at her coldly, like an angry beast.
“I didn’t know what you were thinking. I admit our breakup wasn’t dignified, and I haven’t been very good to you these past two years. You hate me, blame me, and I understand. Peyton, I also know we can’t go back to the past.”
Nolan tightly grasped Peyton’s hand and said, “Even if there is a deep- seated hatred between us, or if there are obstacles in our path, I cannot let you go, nor do I plan to. Because of you, no matter how much I despise and hate your father, I would never want him dead.”
Peyton’s wrist was painfully gripped by Nolan, and his gaze was like a torch, making Peyton’s cheeks flush and heart race.
Nolan spoke his heart out, “Because I knew one thing for sure. If Kason died, it would cut off all the connections between us. So I wouldn’t let Kason die. On the day of the car accident, I was the first one to call 120.”
Peyton was greatly shocked and seemed not to have expected Nolan to do such a thing.
At this point, Nolan took a deep breath and said, “Whether it was in the past or now, I never wanted to kill Kason. So put away the thoughts in your head, I wouldn’t and I’m not interested in doing that.”
If it had been before, Peyton would not have believed what Nolan said, but now Peyton understands everything. Even if Nolan didn’t say it, Peyton knew it in his heart.
Peyton opened her mouth. At that moment, she had an impulse to say everything out loud.
