Chapter 152 His Words Were A Charity
Although Peyton looked so cute, her tone was full of ambiguous and strange feelings, which made Nolan feel uneasy.
He brought her back from the island, and with his temperament, he should have kept her captive by his side.
He restrained his thoughts and gave her freedom. He fulfilled all her requests, and even took special care of Eric and Rene.
Nolan thought that after doing so much, Peyton would be as happy as before, with a smile in her eyes.
However, now her eyes were like a clear lake. No matter what he did, it wouldn’t cause even the slightest ripple in her.
His cold eyes reflected Peyton’s innocent face. “Peyton, you better stop it.”
Nolan’s voice was filled with uncontrollable anger, “Even if I married her, your status wouldn’t be affected in the slightest.”
His words seemed like a kind of charity.
Peyton laughed, not hiding the contempt in her eyes. “Ms. Chase has already obtained the position of Mrs. Dalton. What position do I have that she can influence?”
Without waiting for Nolan’s reply, Peyton reached out and straightened his collar, not wanting to argue about this topic any further.
After all, if she continued to make a fuss, she would not end well and would have to spend more time and effort to please him.
“Okay. Go with your fiancée. I know my current status won’t make things difficult for you.”
After she finished speaking, she took a step back and said, “Thank you for not holding a grudge against Eric and his friends.”
Nolan opened his mouth and watched Peyton disappear from his sight.
Peyton came back, but seemed to have become a different person.
No matter what Nolan did, he couldn’t get the answer he wanted.
He told himself, “Peyton loves me so much. She’s just temporarily upset.”
Soon, she would become my little girl again, with only me in her eyes.
Peyton took Eric and Rene to many places. The two boys kept chattering and their mouths never closed.
She smiled as she touched their heads. “Study hard. In the future, there will be a place for you in this city.”
“Peyton, we wouldn’t let you down,” Rene raised her little fist.
“Peyton, with such talent, why didn’t you become a painter?” he asked in confusion.
Peyton bit on her straw and said, “Drawing is just one of my hobbies. I prefer being a doctor. But because of one person, I gave up even my favorite thing. I became the way I am now and can no longer draw like I could when I was thirteen. So, don’t follow my example and take love too seriously.”
The sweet milk tea did not ease Peyton’s pain in her heart, and her stomach was also hurting.
Recently, she didn’t cough up blood much, but her stomachache problem couldn’t be cured for a while. She took some painkillers and went to play an escape room game with Eric and Rene.
Although she was only seven or eight years older than them, she took them as children and wanted them to taste all the food they had never eaten before and play all the games they had never played before.
Even though Eric and Rene didn’t like desserts, Peyton forced them to eat them by using the excuse that they had never tried them when they were young.
She shouted, “Other kids have it, and you must have it too.”
Before entering the secret room, Peyton patted his chest and said, “Don’t be afraid. I will protect you guys later.”
Three seconds after entering the secret room, Peyton quieted down in the terrifying dorm room, and someone jumped off the bed. Peyton screamed in fright, “Ah! Run!”
No matter who was behind her, she grabbed a hand and quickly fled.
She ran far away when she suddenly realized something. “In my haste, I only caught one person and ran away. Doesn’t that mean I left another person behind?”
“Damn it! Did I catch Eric or Rene?”
Peyton turned his head to confirm, but was met with a pale face with long hair hanging down.
“Ah!”
How did she run away with a staff member?
Before she could finish calling out, a hand covered her mouth and
dragged her to the nearby cabinet.
