Chapter 17 Chapter 17 Everyone's Entitled to Happiness Except You

Peyton raised her headA sneer flashed in her eyes. "MrDalton, you're asking a funny questionAren't you the one who asked for a divorce?"

Nolan ignored her words and approached Peyton with a chilling aura, "You've been with him for the past few days?"

At such a close distance, Peyton saw his eyes under the thick black eyelashesThe bloodshot eyes were filled with coldness and violence.

Peyton denied, "NoIt's not easy to take a taxi in this terrible weatherAlwyn just gave me a lift."

Nolan curled up his thin lips into a cold smile, "Peyton, you look up when you lieThis habit has not changed at allYou suddenly changed your mind after a year of trying to save the marriageYou even left your seriously ill father and disappearedYou did all this just for that man?"

Peyton didn't want to explainDalton was smart enough to tell if she was telling the truthThe more excuses she made up, the more Dalton would feel she was insulting himShe had better not say anything.

Peyton quickly changed the topic. "That's not important

Let's just sort out the divorce now."

Before she could take a step, Nolan grabbed her wristHe did not exert any force, but Peyton felt a sharp painShe unhappily frowned and stared at him.

Madness appeared on Nolan's faceHis voice was cool and piercing. "I used to think that divorce is the best punishment for youI've changed my mind now."

Peyton was stunned. "What are you talking about?"

Nolan looked at her with an evil look. "I suddenly don't want a divorce."

Slender fingers stroked across her cheeksDalton lowered his eyes and said coldly, "MrsDalton, are you happy?"

If it was half a month ago, Peyton would have been very happy to learn that Nolan was not willing to divorceBut after knowing the truth, Peyton just felt sick about Dalton.

"Let go of me! Nolan, I want to divorce you right now."

Nolan picked her up in his armsOnce, he was like a harbor that could shelter herBut now Peyton couldn't help resisting him.

"Let go of me, Nolan! Have you lost your mind?"

There was a huge difference between the strength of a man and a woman

Besides, Peyton was as fragile as a piece of paperShe was powerless in Nolan's hands.

She was put into the backseat of the car by NolanThe struggle was an intensive exercise for PeytonShe panted heavily and said with great effort, "Nolan, what exactly are you up to?"

"What am I up to?"

He loosened the tieMockery swept across his cold and hostile eyes. "Peyton, what I want is that you live in hellDo you think I'll be stupid enough to let you be with another man? I’ve underestimated youYou refused to divorce me no matter what but soon found yourself another manAre you that horny?"

Peyton's headache was intenseAfter she heard Nolan's words, her heart hurt even moreShe bit her lip and said, "You wanted to divorce me so muchNow that I've fulfilled your wish, why aren't you satisfied? You have been cheating on me for a long timeEven if I want to be with someone else, what does it have to do with you?"

Nolan lifted his chin fiercelyHis voice sounded indifferent. "Everyone in this world is entitled to happiness except you

Got it?"

Peyton met Nolan's pair of indifferent eyesHis black eyes suggested an overwhelming pressureHis voice carried desperate cruelty. "Divorce or not is my call."

As he leaned down, the tips of his tie fell on both sides of Peyton's cheeksHis exquisite wool coat was so flat that it had no wrinklesShe felt as if the world was just an ant in front of him.

Her instinct was rightWhen Dalton's car went past the barrier, Peyton's eyes fell on the long line of the convoy on the opposite sideIn front of the queue was a Cayenne that crashed into the guardrailWasn't that Alwyn's car?

Alwyn dropped her off and got into a car accidentPeyton's face went paleShe yelled, "Pull over!"

Jayson was not stupidIt was impossible to stop the car at this timeHe just pretended that he was deaf.

Peyton was about to force the car door open when her wrist was pulled by Nolan's hardShe fell into Nolan's embrace.

Nolan said slowly, "What? Are you heartbroken?"

"Are you out of your mind? Alwyn thought we graduated from the same university and he ought to take more care of my dad in the hospital

I'm not seeing himWhy did you do this to him?"

Nolan slowly stretched out his handHis slightly cool fingertips slid on her faceHe said in a cruel voice, "Because ... the sadder you are, the happier I will be."

Peyton used all her effort to grab his shirtThe anger had exhausted her full strengthShe pulled herself together and said, "Nolan, my father was Leilani's patron and paid her tuition feeEven if Alwyn and she had some kind of relationship, I'm sure he would never hurt Leilani."

When she mentioned the name Leilani, Nolan's face changedThe sneer suddenly became furyHe ruthlessly pushed Peyton away.

"How dare you mention her name?"

Peyton's back slammed hard against the car doorHer weak body was about to fall apartShe leaned softly to the side, forcing herself to endure the pain coming from her bones.

Nolan reacted emotionally to this name because Leilani was his lost sisterPeyton found the right person.

But she didn't have the energy to question Nolan again

She closed her eyes to get calm and comfortable.

She had no mood to argue with him, eitherShe could only curl up and lean back in her seat.

Luckily, she put on some blush and lipstick before she left to cover her miserable pale face.

Nolan saw she keep silent and thought she was showing her anger in this wayBut his heart still beat wildly.

The car drove to the Dalton's mansionPeyton was so weak that she didn't want to move a step.

Nolan simply leftJayson pulled open the car door and asked in a low voice, "MrsDalton, are you alright?"

Before Peyton could deny it, Nolan stood outside the door and said condescendingly and sarcastically, "You only know how to play fragileYou think I'll be soft if you pretend to be weak?"

She did use bitter tricks to save Nolan's heart this year.

Now she was indeed illBut he didn't believe her anymore.

After a few seconds, Nolan didn't see her get out of the carHe said impatiently, "If you don't want me to destroy the Russell family, you'd better get off the car immediately."

Peyton had just sent a message to Alwyn

She didn't get a response from him, so she didn't know how bad his injury wasPeyton could only grit her teeth and get off the car.

Her feet touched the groundShe felt a wave of cold airHer feet softenedPeyton blacked out and fell to the ground.
