Chapter 214 She Lives Long While I Deserve an Early Death?
Nolanâs words struck a chord with Peyton. He understood the expectations Peyton had for her mother.
The person who was constantly on his mind treated himself like this as soon as he returned to the
country. He knew how sad Peyton was.
But Colette didnât understand.
She didnât like Kason, and as a result, she didnât like his daughter either.
Even though Helena did not consider her worthy of respect, especially on the days when Elbert was not
around, Helena secretly tripped her up numerous times.
The nature of humans is contradictory. They often show their gentle side to outsiders, while their
irritable and bad temper is fully displayed towards their loved ones.
She had been trying her best to please Helena for many years, and it had become a habit for her.
Just like habitually ignoring Peyton, not caring, not paying attention to her feelings, and even casually
abandoning her.
Nolanâs words did not make her reflect. She stubbornly held onto her argument, âAll I know is that now
you are engaged to Helena, and you and Peytie are in the past. Peytie, I beg you, leave Nolan, donât
go and ruin Helenaâs family, okay?â
Peytonâs heart was riddled with wounds. The survival hope she had
finally ignited was slowly crushed by Colette.
âMrs. Chase, is it that everything I did was wrong?â
âIf you truly knew about propriety and integrity, you should have stayed far away from Nolan instead of
staying in his company and letting Helena become a laughingstock.â
Looking at Coletteâs extremely cold face, Peyton thought of how every time in his childhood, he would
work hard to achieve the best results and hand over a satisfactory answer sheet to her, she would have
the same expression.
She remained indifferent.
âI got it. You go wash your hands and have a meal, and in the afternoon, you have a piano lesson at
home by yourself. Iâll go to the beauty salon for a while.â
Peyton never received the praise she had anticipated, and she couldnât understand where she had
gone wrong.
Clearly, all the students in the class said that every parent liked children with good grades.
Why doesnât mom know how to praise herself?
That must have been because I wasnât good enough. I need to work harder in order to succeed.
Peyton was already intelligent, and she did not waste her talent. She worked harder than everyone
else.
She received praise from everyone, except Colette.
Until this moment, she only realized that when that person doesnât like you, even breathing is wrong.

She did not like her own existence, even considering herself as a stain for betraying her first love.
Even if he held the stars from the sky in front of her with his own hands, she still scorned it, considering
it dirty.
When Peyton was a child, she could still comfort herself by saying that her mother must have had her
reasons and that her mother loved her.
The cost of growing up was making her see clearly who Colette really was, she truly didnât love herself
at all.
Even though Helena had no blood relation with Colette, she was doted on by her simply because she
was the daughter of her beloved.
Peyton looked up, holding back her tears.
At that moment, her stomach started hurting again.
Seeing her with her neck stiff and not saying a word, Colette softened her tone and said, âPeytie, donât
blame me for being biased. Helena has always had poor health since she was young, and she finally
married the person she loves. We are a family. Just consider it as giving me face and let go of this
relationship that no longer belongs to you. Letâs make everyone happy, okay?â
Peyton sneered, âYou said she was not in good health?â
âYeah. Helena had insomnia, and she often couldnât sleep well. You know how important sleep is, and
how bad it is for the body when you canât sleep well.â
-Peyton took a step back and chuckled, âHow bad can her sleep be?
Will it kill her?â
âWhat nonsense are you talking about? Helena will definitely live to be a hundred! Do you think Helena
is as healthy as you? We are a family.
Why do you have to have a problem with her and not be a little more accommodating?â
Peyton angrily grabbed Colette by the collar. âShe lives to a hundred, and Iâm the one who dies young?
Itâs my first time being human, why should I let her have her way?â
Colette was so angry that she trembled, and she raised her hand and slapped Peytonâs face. âHow
dare you? Is this how you speak to your mother?â
A hand grabbed Coletteâs wrist, preventing the slap from landing.
