Chapter 18 Chapter 18 Can We Head Our Separate Ways, Please?

Peyton did not fall to the groundShe was pulled up by someone.

Nolan who helped her up was not Nolan but JaysonAs soon as she looked up, Peyton saw Nolan standing not far away and coldly staring at herThere was no worry in her eyes at allThere was only indifference.

She figured him outHow could anyone fall to the ground while standing? In his eyes, she was putting on a show again.

How could Nolan care about her when all he left for her was hate?

In contrast, Jayson got worried and asked, "MrsDalton, are you alright?"

"I'm fineI've just got low blood sugar." Peyton put on a self-mocking smile and followed behind Nolan.

It had been snowing all nightThe yard was full of snowThe servants seemed to have vanished, and no one swept the snow in the yardEven if it was only a short distance, Peyton kept panting.

She walked to her room against the wind and snow, trying to warm herself upNolan stood by the door with a sneer. "I have to admit that your acting skills have improved."

At that time, Peyton used all the tricks she could to change his heart, including the ones she used to disdain the most

She cried and threatened to kill herself.

Hearing this, Peyton only felt sarcasticShe didn't explain but laughed coldly. "Thanks for the compliment."

She wore an indifferent faceShe walked past Nolan and into the roomThe comfortable warm air in the room made her feel slightly cozyShe took off the thick jacket, poured herself a cup of warm water, and leaned on the sofaThen she asked, "Say itWill you divorce me or not?"

"I'll let you know when I decideYou're staying here for now."

Peyton sat opposite Nolan with a calm expressionShe was twirling with the fur ball dangling from her hat.

"Nolan, you brought up the divorce seven days after I had a miscarriageI never figured out why you were in such a hurry until I saw that child who resembled you on that dayYou were in a hurry to get away from me to establish a new home with Helena."

Peyton's voice trembled a little. "During this year, no matter how cold you've been to me, I always ignored your betrayal and cruelness by remembering the past when you treated me well

I think maybe you were just seeking funI'm your wifeIt must be my fault that you are cold to meI can change myself, and I can even tolerate your affair.

"How foolish I was back then! While you were enjoying a family with another woman and your child, I was staying in that cold and empty home, waiting for a man who would never come back.

"It takes me a year to come to terms with thatI've realized how stupid I was, so I'm letting go of youI don't care if you're going to find your happiness or give them a home."

Peyton got up and stumbled towards NolanTears were slipping down her cheeks and dripping onto the cold floor tiles.

She stopped in front of Nolan and surveyed Nolan who was sitting upright with a calm faceHe had no expressionHis aura was cold and scaryHe looked like a strict teacher who could get angry at any time.

He used to treat other people in this wayBut there was always a trace of imperceptible gentleness in his eyes when Nolan looked at her.

But now she was like a stranger to Nolan.

It was time for Peyton to let go of Nolan.

Peyton lowered her head and opened her mouth

Her face was filled with desperation that he had never seen before.

She said, "Nolan, can we head our separate ways, please?"

Nolan's heart skipped a beat when he sensed Peyton's begging voiceHe could see her weary face.

In his eyes, Peyton was like a broken dam that managed to stand for years in a rolling floodThe dam that seemed to never collapse suddenly appeared to have an openingThe moment the dam gave up hanging there, the flood would strike it downThe stones would be torn apart by the flood.

Giving up was simpler than perseverance.

When the dam was engulfed by the flood, it gave up the faith held on to for so longNo one knew how long it had held on, how difficult to do so, and how sad it was to give up.

Peyton was rightOther than revenge, Nolan was in a hurry to get divorced to fight for the custody of his son.

After one year of struggling, Peyton finally agreed to let him goBut Nolan was not as happy as he once imagined.

"You want me to let go of you? Impossible! From today on, you shall stay in the Dalton's mansion

You'll be mine even if you’re dead."

Peyton's tears fell onto his faceNolan's heart also seemed to be tinted with a touch of sadness.

Annoyed, Nolan took out his cell phone and tapped on a pictureOn it, Alwyn was being taken away by the ambulance.

"If you have contact with this man again, the next ones on the ambulance will be his whole familyPeyton, you won't be able to live as you want in this life."

"Asshole! If you hate me, just vent your anger at meWhy did you do this to Alwyn?" Peyton's hand was grabbed by Nolan before she could slap him.

His pupils were filled with ruthlessness, "Do you care about him that much? Don't forget thatAs long as I won't divorce you, you are still MrsDalton."

"I..."

Before Peyton could explain, she felt her body lightenedShe was picked up by Nolan in his arms.

Nolan carried a violent aura all over his bodyHe threw her onto the large bed in the master bedroom.

Luckily, the mattress was customized to her liking back then

It was soft and bouncy, so she didn't get hurt.

But with the violent fall, her head became dizzierShe felt sickHer body was so weak that she could only lie on the bed with a face of fearShe was looking at Nolan who was standing in front of the bed.

Nolan impatiently took off his tie with his long fingersAs if compelled by the devil, he approached the shivering Peyton on the bed with an almost cruel smile.

"Peytie, have you been with him these past few days? How far did you go?"

He hadn't called Peyton's name so intimately for nearly two yearsPeyton felt he was like a pervert nowHer whole body was covered by dense goosebumps.

Nolan looked like a beast about to break the chains and pounce on her.

Peyton shook her head and tried to explain, "We're just friendsIt's not as nasty as you think."

"Nasty? Huh..." Nolan pursed her lips into a cold smileHe reached out and grabbed Peyton's feet.

Peyton forced herself to endure the painShe struggled with difficulty

But her strength was like a fist on cotton.

How could she know that Nolan had searched every possible place in the past few days? Nolan hadn't slept up to ten hours in these daysHis eyes had been filled with hatred for a long timeHe looked like a demon sucking up a lot of negative energyHe desperately needed an outlet.

He took off Peyton's shoes and socksHer small feet were easily held in his handsHe missed Peyton for a long timeThe blood all over his body rushed straight to his headHis pair of black pupils were occupied by desire.

Peyton knew too well what his greedy eyes meantShe begged in a trembling voice, "No, Nolan! You can't..."
