Chapter 284 Donât Judge
Sure enough, Nolan guessed it right. Elbert still went to find Peyton.
In the past, Peytonâs life was hanging by a thread. Among the numerous choices made by the Chase
family to either let Helena live or let her die, only Elbert did not make a decision.
Peyton did not hang up the phone and said politely but distantly, âItâs me.â
âYou were indeed alive!â
Elbertâs voice sounded excited as soon as he heard it.
Fortunately, she had someone send a teddy bear phone watch, which let people know that she was still
alive.
Originally, Elbert just dialed her number out of curiosity, but he didnât expect it to actually connect.
âElbert, just because I was alive doesnât mean I had to donate bone marrow to your wife.â
Before he could even speak, Peyton clearly rejected his
intentions.
âPeyton, I wanted to talk to you.â
âThis might not be possible.â
Peyton lazily lay on the lounge chair, holding a coconut in her arms. The refreshing sea breeze coming
towards her felt

pleasant, as if warm hands gently caressed her cheeks.
Look, even the sea breeze is gentler than her mother.
âPeyton, I know you didnât like Helena and the Chase family. As elders, we shouldnât judge anything
about your younger
generation.â
Peyton interrupted directly, âSince you canât judge, then donât judge. I donât need your judgment or
apology.â
âPeyton, I know that nothing I say can change the resentment in your heart. I just want to tell you that
your motherâs situation is not good. Over the years, she hasnât been able to come back to see you not
because she doesnât want to, but because of my special status, itâs inconvenient for me to go back to
the country. Your mother really misses you!â
Peyton was too lazy to argue with him about this matter.â
He really treated him like a fool.
Even if Colette couldnât return to her home country, couldnât we call her?
At that time, not long after Colette had flown abroad, Peyton urged Kason to get her number overseas.
She used to wonder every day if her mother was comfortable outside, as life abroad was completely
different from life in her home country. Colette was always picky, what if she couldnât adapt?
When the phone was answered, Peyton hadnât even greeted yet, but as soon as Colette heard Kasonâs
voice, she immediately
said, âWeâre done. I have a new family now, so please donât call anymore. Iâm afraid he might
misunderstand. Thatâs it, Iâm busy.â
Peyton was stunned when she heard this. She had been worried for days that her mother hadnât asked
her a single question, and now she was afraid that Kason would bother her instead.
Peyton thought, âBut Mom, if Dad wanted to entangle you, he wouldnât have let you leave so easily.â
Over the years, Peyton saw clearly. Kason loved Colette, but he kept his feelings hidden and never
managed to warm Coletteâs heart.
In the end, even if Colette left, she wouldnât remember his kindness, but instead be afraid that he
became a burden.
Peyton found it funny.
How could her mother be such a person?
As time went by, her love for her mother still outweighed the unpleasantness caused by this incident.
During that period, she would wait by the phone every day, afraid of missing her motherâs call.
Until she was in her teens, every family stopped using landlines, but she kept that landline.
Just because she was thinking that her mom didnât want to talk to her dad, what about her? She was
her momâs daughter, wouldnât her mom ask her?
She would wait by the phone as soon as she finished school, and even when she went to bed at night,
she would still be by
the extension.
Mom has a time difference abroad, so she canât sleep too deeply. What if she doesnât receive a phone
call?
But she found countless reasons, and in the end, she never received a phone call from Colette.
Now that she has grown up, Colette realizes that she was completely immersed in the happiness of
reconciling with her old love. Perhaps at that time, she was so eager to prepare for and conceive a new
life with Elbert that she wouldnât have remembered her existence.
Anyway, she was always Coletteâs unloved daughter since birth.
She was not unloved, she was just never cherished.
Elbert had been talking for a long time, while Peyton remained silent. When he finally stopped, Peyton
said, âAre you tired of talking? Why donât you go have some water and continue?â
