Chapter 208 What else do you want me to do?
Kevin took Peyton to the apartment. He was a true gentleman with a youthful appearance.
Kevin opened the car door for Peyton, took out the newly bought scarf from the bag, and put it around Peyton’s neck.
“You didn’t have to do this. I wasn’t cold.”
“Don’t worry, this is the scarf I bought recently. The weather is cold, don’t get sick,” he explained.
“Alright. Be careful on your way home. Thank you.”
Kevin smiled and said, “Tonight I only had snacks, you owe me a big meal.”
“I know, okay,” Peyton reached out and ruffled Kevin’s hair, “Why are you still so childish?”
When he was a child, every time Peyton promised to give him a gift, Kevin would always remember and ask her for it every now and then.
“We’ll see each other another day.”
“Okay.”
Watching the car drive away, Peyton turned around and entered the elevator.
Kevin was right, she shouldn’t have been pessimistic.
Peyton looked at the paper bag in her hand filled with various snacks and felt touched. She didn’t expect that after so many years, Kevin still
remembered her taste.
She and Kevin met each other in their childhood. Later, Kevin went abroad for school, and they would often chat on Facebook.
When did they start to become estranged?
It was probably a few years ago when she started dating Nolan. She spent all her time with Nolan, and her contact with Kevin gradually decreased.
Peyton’s impression of Kevin remained as that little boy who was worried about the safety of the cat climbing up the tree.
Thinking of that innocent little face, Peyton’s lips curved into a smile.
There is nothing wrong with the dark night. The darker the night, the brighter the moon and stars will be.
Maybe she should have gone to the hospital for a thorough examination of her stomach. She felt herself gradually gaining the belief to keep on living.
Opening the door, Peyton turned on the light.
When Peyton saw who the person in the apartment was, her smile froze on her face.
There was a man sitting on the sofa, with his knees slightly apart and his hands resting on the armrests, as if he were the owner of the house.
The ashtray, piled with many cigarette butts, indicated that he had been waiting for a long time.
“Mr. Dalton, how did you end up here?”
Nolan looked at her coldly and said in a cold tone, “Where did you
go?”
His tone seemed as if he was questioning his wife about having an affair.
Peyton had long seen through his tricks. While Nolan was busy getting engaged to Helena, he also continued to harass her.
However, she still didn’t dare to anger Nolan.
“I went to accompany my younger brother to visit father.”
my
Peyton took off her high heels, rubbed her sore ankles, set aside the paper bag in her hand, and put on warm fluffy slippers.
Afterwards, she walked into the bathroom and started removing her makeup, ignoring Nolan.
Peyton started washing his face.
Her face was beautiful and delicate, but it revealed a sickly paleness.
She looked into the mirror and met Nolan’s gaze from behind her, “Do you have any more questions, Mr. Dalton?”
Nolan sneered, “Peyton, how did I never realize you were such a pragmatic person in the past? When you needed something from me, you called me Nolan, but when there was no benefit for you, you called me Mr. Dalton.”
Peyton gently dried her face with a towel and turned around, saying, “Mr. Dalton, I simply accompanied my brother to the hospital and did not break our agreement. Why do you need to interrogate me?” NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Little brother? Don’t forget what he wanted to do to you that night on the cruise.”
“At that time, he was drugged by your fiancée. Instead of blaming him, why don’t you ask your fiancée?”
Peyton originally had no intention of getting angry, but she couldn’t contain her anger when the past was mentioned.
Nolan approached her and extended his arm to encircle her in front of the washbasin. He had a gloomy expression on his face as he coldly said, “Peyton, what exactly are you unhappy about? Although the Schmitt family went bankrupt because of me, I have provided them. with restructuring funds. I do hate your father, but I am not the reason he is lying in the hospital!”
“I knew.”
“You were concerned about the sea island, so I invested a large sum of money to help improve the lives of the islanders. I also returned the Schmitt’s house to you. As for the people you care about, I hold no grudges and extend a helping hand. When you mentioned wanting to join the company, I immediately arranged for your employment.”
Nolan twisted her shoulder to face him, “If you don’t want it, I won’t touch you. I’ve said it before, I can give you everything except the title of Mrs. Dalton. What else do you want me to do?”
