Chapter 19 Her Death Will Be the Best Revenge
Peytonâs slender ankles were like fragile butterfly wings in his hands. He could easily crush them.
Nolan arched his body like a hungry panther. He approached her slowly on both knees from her side.
Peytonâs frightened and confused face was reflected in his dark pupils. Her refusal stirred his desire
again.
Nolanâs fingers climbed onto her delicate skin like a viper. Peytonâs heart thumped. She howled angrily
in shock and anger, âDonât touch me with hands youâve stroked others with. Take away your filthy
hands!â
Nolanâs kiss sealed her lips and stopped what she was going to say.
Peyton stared with wide eyes and shook her head frantically, trying to get out of his grip.
Nolanâs hand moved behind her neck and steadied the back of her head. He forced her to tilt her neck
and accept the punishment kiss.
The fresh and rough breath reached Peytonâs mouth. Peyton thought that he might have kissed Helena
as well. This made Peyton feel sick to her stomach.
She suddenly gained some strength and pushed away Nolan. She threw up on the edge of the bed.
When she turned back after vomiting, Nolanâs handsome face looked gloomy and solemn.
Nolan kept staring at her. Peyton said word for word, âI told you long ago. Donât touch me. I donât like
your filthy hands!â
Nolan felt a fire igniting in his heart.
His words completely put out the fire in his heart. A phone call came in. Nolan left without hesitation.
Soon, a maid, Olivia Harvey, rushed in a hurry to clean up. Seeing Peytonâs tired appearance, she was
a bit worried. âMrs. Dalton.â
Peyton weakly said, âOlivia, we havenât seen each other for a long time.â
âIndeed. We havenât seen each other for almost a year or so since Mr. Dalton moved back to the
Daltonâs mansion. What happened to you and Mr. Dalton? Mr. Dalton used to be so good to you. Iâve
never seen Mr. Dalton so heartbroken over someone.â
Peyton lay on the bed, tired. She was staring at the stars on the ceiling. He had those stars specially
customized for her. At night, when other lights were turned off, the specially made lights looked like
twinkling
stars.
Nolan used to take any random word she said to heart. Now when Nolan would think she was acting
even if Peyton died in front of him.
Peyton muttered, âI also wonder whatâs wrong with usâ¦â
Olivia sighed. âMrs. Dalton, I can see that Mr. Dalton adores that lover, but he still has you in his heart.
Even if Mr. Dalton comes back late in the past year, he still goes home. He never stays up at that
bitchâs place.â
Peyton was stunned. The media had reported more than once about him going at night and leaving the
next morning. Was it true that he didnât stay overnight at Seaview Villa?
Peyton smiled to herself. Nolan had a child with that woman. Did it matter whether he stayed overnight
or not?
âMrs. Dalton, a coupleâs fight never lasts for over one day. If your attitude softens, Mr. Dalton will forgive
you. Iâ¦..â
How would an onlooker know about the story between them? Nolanâs grudge against her was deep.
Her love for him was slowly turning into resentment. They couldnât be together again with or without
Helena.
Sensing Oliviaâs good intentions, Peyton forced herself to get out of bed. âOlivia, Iâll go wash up first.â
âYes, Mrs. Dalton.â
She washed the parts touched by Nolan over and over again. She even carefully washed her hair
which hadnât been taken care of for a few days.
Peyton looked at the strands of hair on the ground. She hugged her knees and leaned against the
corner of the bathroom for a while.
It wasnât until Oliviaâs voice came from outside that Peyton picked the strands of hair up one by one
with paper issues. She wrapped them up and threw them in the trash.
She didnât want Nolan to find out about her illness.
Peyton made a bet with herself.
If Nolan still loved her, her death would be the best revenge for him.
Even if Peyton had to die soon, she still wanted Nolan to be upset for the rest of his life.
If Nolan didnât love her, telling him the truth would be nothing more than a self-inflicted insult. It would
only make Helena laugh at her.
Olivia had prepared a table full of good dishes. These were all Peytonâs favorites in the past.
Peyton asked Olivia to join her. Olivia wiped her hands on the apron and sat beside Peyton to serve
her the soup. âMr. Dalton personally asked me to cook the chicken soup. I told you that Mr. Dalton had
you in his heart.â
The table was full of dishes cooked in heavy oil and spice. The aroma of chili peppers and peppercorns
filled the air.
Peyton liked spicy food, while Nolan liked light food. There used to be a few very different dishes on
their dinner table.
But her stomach ached a lot now. She could no longer eat such spicy dishes.
âMrs. Dalton, why arenât you eating? My cooking skills havenât
changed. Mr. Dalton will ask me to cook one or two spicy dishes when he eats at home.â
Peyton gave her a somewhat surprised look. As far as she knew, Nolan. couldnât eat spicy food.
Olivia saw through Peytonâs thoughts and continued, âThatâs why I said that Mr. Dalton has you in his
heart. Even if he doesnât live with you, he will ask me to cook the dishes you like to eat. Mrs. Dalton,
you used to force him to eat a bit of spicy food. But now he is willing to try some every day. He couldnât
stand it in the beginning. For him, the food was so spicy that his face turned red and he coughed a lot.
Mr. Dalton ate while drinking water. By now he can also eat some spicy food at ease.â
Peyton suddenly felt ridiculous. Nolan tried a different kind of cuisine. But she had to give up her
original favorite food and changed to a lighter one because she was sick.
They were not meant to be together.
Peyton didnât continue the topic again. She begged Olivia to borrow her cell phone.
Fortunately, Peyton had a good memory. She had Alwynâs number before and dialed the number.
She could not forgive herself if something happened to Alwyn. When Alwynâs voice came from the
other end of the phone, she finally felt relaxed.
There was no sound on the other end of the phone. Alwyn realized something and asked tentatively, âIs
this Peyton?â
That car accident happened strangely. Alwyn knew what was going on.
âThis is me⦠Iâm sorry, Alwyn. Iâm the one who got you like this.â
Alwynâs tired voice was mixed with a touch of joy. âYou said those words in front of the Courthouse
because you were afraid of dragging me down with you?â
Peyton didnât understand what Alwyn was thinking. âAlwyn, Iâm not with my cell phone, so I couldnât
contact you earlier. How is your injury?â
âDonât worry. Iâm not hurt, for the airbags protected me. Is he holding you captive? Do you want me to
call the police for you?â
âWithout a divorce, weâre still a married couple. Thereâs no proof of imprisonment at all. Alwyn, I
appreciate everything youâve done for me. You donât need to care about me from now on. Todayâs
accident was just a warning from him. I know youâre a kind man, but Iâm not worth what youâve given
me. Iâm relieved to know that youâre okay. Goodbye.â
Peyton quickly hung up the phone. Alwyn was tittering while holding the phone. It turned out that she
didnât say those words for the sake of Nolan.
Peyton gave the cell phone back to Olivia. She dragged her tired body back to her room to rest.
She didnât know how long she had slept. In a daze, she heard the door slam closed.
The room was filled with a strong smell of alcohol. Peyton felt sick of the pungent odor. Her stomach
became uncomfortable again..
Before she could say anything, Nolan casually dropped his jacket to the floor. The mattress sank a bit.
Nolan muttered, âHoney, Iâm homeâ¦â
