Chapter 198 Salma Was The One I Allowed To Come In.
Helena instinctively wanted to ask if it was Peyton who bit, but before she could utter the words, she
swallowed them back.
Nolan and Helena were about to get engaged. Helena didnât want any more mishaps to occur that
would cause Nolan to postpone the engagement.
Since Nolan said that he bit it himself, then it was him who bit it.
âIt was my mistake. I didnât bite you, so it couldnât possibly be a mosquito bite.â
Helena slowly squatted down and picked up the documents from the ground for Nolan. Peyton, who
was hiding under the table,
instinctively grabbed onto Nolanâs leg.
Whenever Helena glanced under the table, she could clearly see Peyton.
Nolan felt pain in his calf. Nolan didnât expect Peyton to have such strength.
Nolan could feel the tension in Peytonâs fingertips even through his pants. Without thinking, Nolan
threw the pen across the room.
The pen âsmackedâ onto the floor tiles without a carpet, diverting Helenaâs gaze.
Nolan clearly saw Peytonâs body relax, curling up into a ball.
Helena went around to the front of the table to help Nolan pick up the pen. From Helenaâs position,
there was no way she could see Peyton.
âNolan, itâs getting late now. Iâll wait for you here and we can go home together after you finish work.â
Peytonâs hand had just relaxed, but now it tightened again. This time, Peyton even pinched Nolanâs leg.
Peyton stared at Nolan with wide eyes, as if urging him to find a way to make Helena leave early.
Over the past two years, Nolan and Peyton have either been in a cold war or arguing. Nolan hasnât
seen Peytonâs adorable side for a long time.
Many years ago, Nolanâs life was a dark abyss. However, Peytonâs appearance later on was like a ray
of warm light that healed Nolan.
Later, the deaths of Paula and Brodie completely crushed Nolan, like two mountains.
Nolan had already suffered from a severe mental illness. Only when Peyton was around, Nolan could
feel an unprecedented sense of ease without having to take medication.
âUp to you.â
As soon as Nolan agreed, Peytonâs eyes widened even more. Peyton seemed to be accusing Nolan
with a look of grievance.
Nolan found it amusing and reached out to ruffle Peytonâs head, then pinched Peytonâs face.
Peyton could only endure it all and dared not make a sound.
Peyton couldnât believe she hadnât noticed before how immature Nolan used to be.
Helena stood by the bookshelf and glanced at the books inside.
Helena looked out of the French window again and watched the
40 Vout hers
pedestrians below for a while. In her eyes, the people on the street seemed like ants.
Nolan worked in a place like this every day, as if he were a god, controlling the life and death of all
beings. Helena felt that this feeling was indeed very good.
Helena felt extremely happy when she realized that from now on, she would also be one of the people
standing on this high platform.
Just when Helena was happy, Peytonâs feet went numb.
Peyton tugged on Nolanâs pants, but Nolan ignored it and instead responded to Helenaâs words.
âI had someone find two teachers to teach Chris pronunciation and spelling.â
Peyton felt speechless. Peyton thought, âChris has just turned one year old, and Nolan is already
making Chris start learning. Canât Chris be a little more heartless?â
Helena also felt it was inappropriate and said, âIsnât Chris still a little too young now?â
âNo,â Nolan said calmly, âMarie can start learning after she turns. three.â
Helena breathed a sigh of relief. Subconsciously, Helena paid more attention to Marie.
At this moment, the door opened and the cleaning aunt came in.
Helena also saw the cleaning lady for the first time. Helena said unhappily, âWho allowed you to come
in without knocking? Donât you see what time it is? How can you come in to clean during the bossâs
meeting with clients? Donât you understand the rules?â
As soon as Peyton heard that the cleaning lady had arrived, he cautiously poked his head out from
under the table and secretly moved aside Nolanâs trousers to look towards the door..
The cleaning aunt hunched her body, looking very thin.
âSorry, I came to clean because I saw that Mr. Dalton didnât have any appointments this afternoon. Ms.
Chase, I didnât know you were here.â
Peyton was a little surprised that the cleaner knew all of Nolanâs schedule.
Before Helena could continue to get angry, Nolan had already spoken, âSalma is here with my
permission. Do you have any objections?â
