Chapter 39 Can You Be Nice to Her?
Helena looked at the side of Nolanâs face. Nolan didnât want to make his relationship with Peyton
public, not to mention that they had
divorced. Why did Nolan get so angry when Alwyn offered to drink for Peyton?
Helena stared at Peyton with evil eyes. Peyton could still tug at Nolanâs heartstrings.
Alwyn was put in an awkward position. It was silent in the whole. room. No one had the nerve to annoy
Nolan.
Alwyn knew what Nolan meant. Nolan wanted to get Alwyn scared off and quit the game. So, he
wouldnât pursue Peyton.
Alwyn would stop if he were someone else. But Alwynâs mind was full of Peytonâs smiles. He had fallen
in love with Peyton the moment he set eyes on her.
She was so beautiful and bright at that time.
Unfortunately, Alwyn was busy studying and preparing for programs abroad, so he had to bury his
admiration in his heart. However, when he came back from abroad, he found out that she had dropped
out of school and got married. When he saw her again, she no longer had the brightness.
She was more like a withering tree, with no nutrition.
He waited till Peyton got divorced so that he could accompany her, even for a little while.
Alwyn grew up following the rules. It was the first time he followed

his heart. Alwyn didnât care for Nolanâs threat. He looked so pure and determined.
âI donât think itâs up to you. Mr. Dalton, your fiancée was at your side. I think you should take care of Ms.
Chase rather than Peyton. I will protect Peyton no matter what. I will never hurt her like her ex-
husband.â
And then, he gulped down the wine and put the glass on the table with a loud bang. He held Peytonâs
hand and said, âItâs late now. I will send Peyton home. Excuse us.â
Kadence was thrilled. She wanted to applaud Alwyn.
Peyton knew what Alwyn did would make things worse. If she left the party with Alwyn, his family would
be ruined by Nolan.
She wanted to stay, but Alwyn was stronger than her. He pulled Peyton away easily.
She looked at Alwyn worriedly. âAlwynâ¦â
Alwyn looked at her gently and gestured for her to stop saying.
Peyton failed to see Nolanâs expression, but she could imagine his face. She said to Alwyn, âYou
shouldnât fight against him. You canât afford. to annoy him. Youâre just lucky in that car accident. You
know I will
neverâ¦â
Alwyn took up the other hand. He looked so gentle. âI know. And I know what Iâm doing. Nolan is
moody, but he is not a tyrant. He wonât hurt my family. Iâm ready for the consequences when I said
that.â
Furrowing, Peyton wanted to explain that Nolan was way more ruthless than people thought.
In the past, Nolan would get crazy when it was about Peyton. Once a

senior stopped Peyton in the hallway and express his admiration. When he was rejected, he wanted to
use force.
The next day, she heard that boy fell off a roof when he was drunk.
The boyâs family blamed Peyton for it and made a scene at school. Someone even slapped Peyton.
After several days, this familyâs house was on fire. All the family members were dead.
First of all, Peyton thought it was a coincidence. Later, she happened to find Nolan putting some white
powder in the pot. She was curious and Nolan told her it was bone ashes.
Only then did she know the boyâs family membersâ bodies were made ashes by Nolan.
Nolan was ruthless. He was a 100% tyrant.
His sister passed away. But he just made the Schmitt family go bankrupt. Peyton should be grateful
that her family were still alive.
But Alwyn wouldnât be that lucky. Peyton shook her head, âNo, Alwyn. You shouldnât get involved.â
Peyton left her coat at the party. Alwyn took off his jacket and put it on her shoulders. He put his hands
on Peytonâs shoulders.
âPeyton, I know he hurt you so much. I donât wish you to say yes to me. I just want to take care of you
for the rest of the time. Please give me a chance. Let me be your friend.â
Peyton felt so disturbed. The nicer Alwyn was to her, the sooner she should reject him..

Before she could say anything, she saw a black figure not far away, staring at them like death.
Nolan spoke to Peyton, âCome here.â
Peyton found Nolan was even more possessive of her than before.
Alwyn pulled her behind him, looking at Nolan warily. âMr. Dalton, you have divorced. Please donât hurt
her anymore.â
Nolan didnât answer him. He fixed his gloomy eyes on Peytonâs jacket and repeated. âTake that off and
come here.â
He demanded like a master. If Alwyn was not here, she would turn right away and leave. But she
thought of Nolanâs threat at the party. She knew Nolan was capable of doing that.
Gritting her teeth, Peyton suppressed the humiliation and took off Alwynâs jacket.
âAlwyn, I told you to leave me alone.â
Alwyn was confused. âBut you have divorced!â
Peyton didnât respond. She stuffed the jacket into Alwynâs hands and turned away. âAlwyn, I donât
deserve your love. Donât waste your time
on me.â
Alwyn could see she was helpless. He grabbed Peytonâs wrist. âI can help you.â
âLucian, cut his hands,â Nolan said coldly.
A man walked from the dark. It was Lucian who was walking towards Alwyn.
Peyton broke free from Alwynâs hands and stopped Lucian. She said to

N.Nolan pursed his lips and raised his chin slightly. Staring at her, Nolan Istidnât say anything.
