Chapter 148 I Disdained To Do So
As soon as Nolan entered the door, he saw Peytonâs face drained of color, revealing a pale and sickly
appearance.
Nolan noticed that Peytonâs hand was shaking a little. He frowned and strode quickly towards Peyton.
Nolan asked, âWhat were you looking at?â
Peyton didnât cover up. Nolan saw the gruesome car accident scene at a glance. The scene was
bloody, no wonder Peyton looked so bad.
âWhatâs there to see in these things?â 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 wasnât a recent car accident.
Peyton turned off her phone and casually asked, âWere you at the scene when my dad had the car
accident?â
Nolan didnât know that Peyton had wanted to go after Chris for this reason. When Peyton suddenly
brought it up, Nolan lowered his gaze and met Peytonâs eyes, answering, âYes.â
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 didnât expect to come across your fatherâs 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.
Wasnât Peyton and Nolan pushed step by step to get to where they are today?
That person was so cruel!
Seeing Peytonâs silence and even more unpleasant expression, Nolan also felt that something was
wrong. Nolan said, âYou donât think I planned everything, do you?â
Nolan grabbed Peytonâs shoulder and said very seriously, âPeyton, stop your unrealistic daydreaming.
If I wanted to kill Kason, he would have died ten thousand times already.â
Nolan said in a cold tone, âEven if I were to take action, I would never involve innocent people or take
someone elseâs life to cover up the truth. If I wanted to, I have a hundred or even a thousand ways to
kill without leaving a traceâ¦â
Nolan had not finished speaking when Peyton suddenly rushed into his arms. Peyton hugged Nolanâs
waist with both hands and said, âI believe.â
Nolan reached out and grabbed Peytonâs chin, forcing her gaze to meet his. He stared at her coldly,
like an angry beast.
âI didnât know what you were thinking. I admit our breakup wasnât dignified, and I havenât been very
good to you these past two years. You hate me, blame me, and I understand. Peyton, I also know we
canât go back to the past.â
Nolan tightly grasped Peytonâs hand and said, âEven 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.â
Peytonâs wrist was painfully gripped by Nolan, and his gaze was like a torch, making Peytonâs cheeks
flush and heart race.
Nolan spoke his heart out, âBecause I knew one thing for sure. If Kason died, it would cut off all the
connections between us. So I wouldnât let Kason die. On the day of the car accident, I was the first one
to call 120.â
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, âWhether it was in the past or now, I never wanted to
kill Kason. So put away the thoughts in your head, I wouldnât and Iâm not interested in doing that.â
If it had been before, Peyton would not have believed what Nolan said, but now Peyton understands
everything. Even if Nolan didnât say it, Peyton knew it in his heart.
Peyton opened her mouth. At that moment, she had an impulse to say everything out loud.
