Chapter 38 Best Way to Forget Your Ex
Alwyn was challenging Nolan by saying that, which made Peyton so nervous. She knew how jealous
Nolan could be.
Even though they had divorced, Nolan would not like to see Peyton having a happy life, just as he said.
Alwyn said that in public. He would be humiliated if Peyton refused him. Everyone would laugh at him.
Peyton was in a dilemma, not knowing what she could do.
Kadence understood Peytonâs situation, so she helped Peyton out. âOF course! The best way to forget
oneâs ex is either time or new love. Youâre handsome, Alwyn. You and Peyton should go dating more.
Peyton was hurt by her exâboyfriend. Maybe you could cure her.â
Kadence was matchâmaking Peyton and Alwyn. Peyton stopped her. âKadence!â
Kadence ignored her warnings. She was thinking about taking revenge on Nolan.
âDonât be shy. You are single now. Are you going to die alone? I believe Alwyn wonât treat you like that
bastard. Hey, Alwyn. Are you free these days? Peytie and I are going to visit North City. Two girls. are
not safe outsideâ¦â
âItâs my honor to protect you.â Alwyn looked at Peyton with eyes full of admiration.
Kadence took a glance at Nolanâs ashen face. She was delighted.
O DON

Nolan said nothing, but his coldness reminded people of his existence.
Bruce interrupted to change the topic. âIâm so glad to see Peyton can be happy again. Itâs a rare
opportunity today that we can get together. Even Mr. Dalton was here, and Helena too. I should really
toast you. I wish you a happy life!â
Helena was delighted to hear that. She raised her glass and was ready to drink. But she noticed that
Nolan was as cold as ice, not moving his glass at all.
Nolan wouldnât take a toast randomly. Helena had to explain to the others that Nolan couldnât drink
because of his illness. The others got the hint, so no one dared to say anything.
Although Nolan didnât drink, he still greeted everyone at the party.
Grace never liked Peyton. Peyton was in the spotlight just now, which made Grace hate her more.
âPeyton, you think youâre still Miss Schmitt? Donât stand there still. Greet Mr. and Mrs. Dalton!â
When she heard âMrs. Daltonâ, her eyes had a distant faraway look. She set her look at Nolan and
Helena. One of them was wearing black and the other white. They looked like a perfect match.
Nolan would never take Peyton to parties, and he would show up at Peytonâs parties.
She once asked why, and Nolan told her the more he hid her, the safer she would be.
Peyton didnât know what enemy he had, and she didnât care about the title. She was satisfied as long
as Nolan loved her.
But now when Peyton thought of that, she realized how naive she was.

That was all Nolanâs excuses. How come a man wouldnât introduce his love to the world?
Maybe Nolan was just paving the way for the arrival of Helena. Enemies and revenge were just his
excuses for cheating.
Nolan was sitting not far from Peyton, but she felt him so strange. Even the memory was blurred,
Most men were born playboys. Peyton was too naive to believe she was lucky to meet a good man.
Peyton took the wine and said, âYouâre right. I should toast them.â
And then, two hands came from two sides. They were Alwynâs and Kadenceâs. âNo, you canât drink
that.â
Peyton looked at Kadence with a pleading look. âJust a little. Itâs alright.â
Seeing the determination in Peytonâs eyes, Kadence released the grip.
Peyton poured herself a glass of red wine. Alwyn wanted to stop her, but he didnât say it. He watched
Peyton walk step by step in front of Nolan and Helena. She held the glass and said with a smile. âTo
you, Mr. Dalton and Ms. Chase. I wish you all the best. Congratulations. Excuse me if I canât come to
your engagement party.â
Peyton poured herself a full glass of wine. She began to drink without looking at them.
Nolan knew how much she could drink. One glass of wine was enough to make her wasted.
Helena stood up and raised her glass, smiling, âThank you. Nolan and I will have a happy life with your
blessing.â
Helena poured herself a full glass of wine too and began to drink. âEnough!â
Two voices sounded up at the same time. It was Alwyn and Nolan.
Alwyn took the glass from Peytonâs hands. There was still a half left. He said to Nolan, âPeyton has
problems with her stomach. Iâll finish the rest for her.â
Nolan finally spoke up. A significant smile curved from his lips. âWho are you to finish the wine for her?â
Everyone felt the coldness in Nolanâs tone. But they thought Nolan only didnât like people drinking for
others, so they look at Alwyn with embarrassment.
Alwyn looked normal and said with a clear voice. âMy relationship with Peyton has nothing to do with
you. Donât you think so?â
Nolan took a look at Alwyn. Alwyn was standing and Nolan was sitting, but Nolanâs calm and confident
aura overshadowed everything. Even if there were not many expressions on his face, a casual glance
would make people stressed.
Nolan chuckled and raised his glass. He said significantly, âLook, a tough guy in the Russell family.â
What Nolan said made the others get lost. Was he complimenting Alwyn? But Nolanâs smile was so
spooky.
Then Nolan added, âI wonder if you can survive this winter.â
Now everyone realized Nolan was threatening Alwyn. Nolan was as moody as rumor said. Alwyn just
offered to drink for Peyton, and Nolan threatened to destroy his family. What a ruthless man!

Alwyn was born into a wealthy family. Everyone in Aelford City needed to respect him and address him
as Mr. Russell, except one
person.
It was Nolan. Among all the wealthy families, the Dalton family was the most respected one. Nolan
usually kept a low profile. But when he got mad, he would destroy his enemy for good.
Bruce knew Nolan wasnât kidding. He hurriedly spoke, âMr. Dalton, I believe Dr. Russell means well.â
Nolan rubbed the glass with his fingers and sneered. âAlwyn, you are not worthy to drink for Peyton. Sit
back, and I can give you one more chance. I can pretend nothing happens!â
Helena looked at the side of Nolanâs face. Nolan didnâ
