Chapter 158 I WonâT Bother You Anymore.
Without thinking, Peyton answered. âAre you not coming back tonight?â
Nolan could see a hint of excitement in her serious expression. He threatened her, and yet she seemed
surprisingly happy?
Peyton was indeed quite happy. After all, for the past few nights, she had been sharing a bed with
Nolan, and Nolan had always been trying to have a physical relationship with her.
No matter what Nolan was thinking. Peyton just wanted to be as far away from him as possible now.
Nolan pinched Peytonâs chin, his thumb caressing her lips. âYou really wished I didnât come back, huh?â
Peyton felt that her past actions had annoyed him, so she said seriously, âOf course, because now you
are Helenaâs fiancé. You and Helena are about to get engaged, and I donât want to cause any
arguments between you two. If rumors about you and me were to spread, it would also affect the stock
price of the Dalton Group.â
After Peyton finished speaking, she patted Nolanâs hand. She assured him, âDonât worry, I will never
cling to you like I did in the past. I promise, you will have a pleasant evening.â
Peyton thought that after she had made such a serious commitment, Nolan would surely think she was
responsible, and then he would let her go.
Peyton thought her attempts to please Nolan would make him happy. However, Nolanâs expression
grew angrier and he squeezed Peytonâs
chin even harder.
Wasnât she pleasing enough? Peyton furrowed her brow, pondering.
Nolan couldnât sense any reluctance or sadness from Peyton. He withdrew his hand and coldly
whispered in Peytonâs ear, âAs you wish! Tonight, I will sleep at the Chase familyâs.â
âOkay, then Iâll go back and have dinner first,â Peyton said.
Nolan couldnât see any sadness on Peytonâs face as she immediately opened the car door and quickly
got out.
Peyton walked away without looking back, she didnât feel any sadness at all.
Nolan wondered, had Peyton completely stopped loving him in less than three months since their
divorce?
Javson saw Nolanâs indifferent face in the rearview mirror. Jason asked cautiously, âMr. Dalton, are we
leaving now?â
Nolan took a deep breath. âWhat did she do today? Who did she
meet?â
âThere was nothing special. She went to an art exhibition to see paintings, then went shopping, and
finally spent the whole afternoon playing at some popular amusement facilities for young people. She
didnât meet anyone,â Jayson said.
Nolan frowned. âStared at her.â
Nolan could confirm that Peyton didnât have any special incidents with Phillip on the island, otherwise
Nolan would really suspect that Peyton had developed feelings for someone else.
Nolan no longer hated Peyton, and in fact, as time went on, he grew to
like Peyton more and more.
Peytonâs attitude was the opposite. She no longer relied on Nolan. In fact, there was no longer any light
in Peytonâs eyes when she looked at Nolan.
Nolan looked down at his phone. Back when he had a good
relationship with Peyton, she would constantly send him messages or call him. During that time, even if
he was busy, he would always find time to reply to her.
Even though Nolan and Peytonâs relationship deteriorated later on, he deliberately distanced himself
from Peyton. However, Peyton still sent him dozens of messages every day. Unlike now, she doesnât
make a single phone call or send a single text message all day.
When Nolan realized that he was no longer the most important person in Peytonâs heart, his heart felt
like it was being tightly squeezed.
He wouldnât know that Peyton has become cautious now, always afraid of angering him.
Peyton only hoped that she could stay away from him as far as possible, so as not to annoy him again.
Does she still have the qualification to interfere in his life, considering her current identity?
Moreover, in the past two years, Peytonâs heart seemed to have been stabbed countless times by
Nolan and Helena. No matter how deep Peytonâs love for Nolan was, she had long given up.
Peytonâreturned to the room without looking back, she didnât even have dinner.
She could imagine the dead body she saw during the day as soon as she closed her eyes.
Peyton only wished that Phillip could uncover the truth as soon as possible.
Peyton went to sleep after taking a shower. She had no idea that Nolan kept glancing at his phone.
He said he would stay at the Chase family. He didnât believe Peyton would really be indifferent.
Nolan had waited for so long, thinking that Peyton would have called.
