Chapter 19 Chapter 19 Her Death Will Be the Best Revenge
Peyton's slender ankles were like fragile butterfly wings in his handsHe could easily crush them. Nolan arched his body like a hungry pantherHe approached her slowly on both knees from her side. Peyton's frightened and confused face was reflected in his dark pupilsHer refusal stirred his desire again. Nolan's fingers climbed onto her delicate skin like a viperPeyton's heart thumpedShe howled angrily in shock and anger, “Don't touch me with hands you've stroked others withTake away your filthy hands!" Nolan's kiss sealed her lips and stopped what she was going to say. Peyton stared with wide eyes and shook her head frantically, trying to get out of his grip. Nolan's hand moved behind her neck and steadied the back of her headHe forced her to tilt her neck and accept the punishment kiss. The fresh and rough breath reached Peyton's mouthPeyton thought that he might have kissed Helena as wellThis made Peyton feel sick to her stomach. She suddenly gained some strength and pushed away Nolan
She threw up on the edge of the bed.
When she turned back after vomiting, Nolan's handsome face looked gloomy and solemn.
Nolan kept staring at herPeyton said word for word, "I told you long agoDon't touch meI don't like your filthy hands!"
Nolan felt a fire igniting in his heart.
His words completely put out the fire in his heartA phone call came inNolan left without hesitation.
Soon, a maid, Olivia Harvey, rushed in a hurry to clean upSeeing Peyton's tired appearance, she was a bit worried. "MrsDalton."
Peyton weakly said, "Olivia, we haven't seen each other for a long time."
"IndeedWe haven't seen each other for almost a year or so since MrDalton moved back to the Dalton's mansionWhat happened to you and MrDalton? MrDalton used to be so good to youI've never seen MrDalton so heartbroken over someone."
Peyton lay on the bed, tiredShe was staring at the stars on the ceilingHe had those stars specially customized for herAt night, when other lights were turned off, the specially made lights looked like twinkling stars.
Nolan used to take any random word she said to heart
Now when Nolan would think she was acting even if Peyton died in front of him.
Peyton muttered, "I also wonder what's wrong with us..."
Olivia sighed. "MrsDalton, I can see that MrDalton adores that lover, but he still has you in his heartEven if MrDalton comes back late in the past year, he still goes homeHe never stays up at that bitch's place."
Peyton was stunnedThe media had reported more than once about him going at night and leaving the next morningWas it true that he didn't stay overnight at Seaview Villa?
Peyton smiled to herselfNolan had a child with that womanDid it matter whether he stayed overnight or not?
"MrsDalton, a couple's fight never lasts for over one dayIf your attitude softens, MrDalton will forgive youI..."
How would an onlooker know about the story between them? Nolan's grudge against her was deepHer love for him was slowly turning into resentmentThey couldn't be together again with or without Helena.
Sensing Olivia's good intentions, Peyton forced herself to get out of bed. "Olivia, I'll go wash up first."
"Yes, Mrs
Dalton."
She washed the parts touched by Nolan over and over againShe even carefully washed her hair which hadn't been taken care of for a few days.
Peyton looked at the strands of hair on the groundShe hugged her knees and leaned against the corner of the bathroom for a while.
It wasn't until Olivia's voice came from outside that Peyton picked the strands of hair up one by one with paper issuesShe wrapped them up and threw them in the trash.
She didn't want Nolan to find out about her illness.
Peyton made a bet with herself.
If Nolan still loved her, her death would be the best revenge for him.
Even if Peyton had to die soon, she still wanted Nolan to be upset for the rest of his life.
If Nolan didn't love her, telling him the truth would be nothing more than a self-inflicted insultIt would only make Helena laugh at her.
Olivia had prepared a table full of good dishesThese were all Peyton's favorites in the past.
Peyton asked Olivia to join her
Olivia wiped her hands on the apron and sat beside Peyton to serve her the soup. "MrDalton personally asked me to cook the chicken soupI told you that MrDalton had you in his heart."
The table was full of dishes cooked in heavy oil and spiceThe aroma of chili peppers and peppercorns filled the air.
Peyton liked spicy food, while Nolan liked light foodThere used to be a few very different dishes on their dinner table.
But her stomach ached a lot nowShe could no longer eat such spicy dishes.
"MrsDalton, why aren't you eating? My cooking skills haven't changedMrDalton will ask me to cook one or two spicy dishes when he eats at home."
Peyton gave her a somewhat surprised lookAs far as she knew, Nolan couldn't eat spicy food.
Olivia saw through Peyton's thoughts and continued, "That's why I said that MrDalton has you in his heartEven if he doesn't live with you, he will ask me to cook the dishes you like to eatMrsDalton, you used to force him to eat a bit of spicy food
But now he is willing to try some every dayHe couldn't stand it in the beginningFor him, the food was so spicy that his face turned red and he coughed a lotMrDalton ate while drinking waterBy now he can also eat some spicy food at ease."
Peyton suddenly felt ridiculousNolan tried a different kind of cuisineBut she had to give up her original favorite food and changed to a lighter one because she was sick.
They were not meant to be together.
Peyton didn't continue the topic againShe begged Olivia to borrow her cell phone.
Fortunately, Peyton had a good memoryShe had Alwyn's number before and dialed the number.
She could not forgive herself if something happened to AlwynWhen Alwyn's voice came from the other end of the phone, she finally felt relaxed.
There was no sound on the other end of the phoneAlwyn realized something and asked tentatively, "Is this Peyton?"
That car accident happened strangelyAlwyn knew what was going on.
"This is me... I'm sorry, Alwyn
I'm the one who got you like this."
Alwyn's tired voice was mixed with a touch of joy. "You said those words in front of the Courthouse because you were afraid of dragging me down with you?"
Peyton didn't understand what Alwyn was thinking. "Alwyn, I'm not with my cell phone, so I couldn't contact you earlierHow is your injury?"
"Don't worryI'm not hurt, for the airbags protected meIs he holding you captive? Do you want me to call the police for you?"
"Without a divorce, we're still a married coupleThere's no proof of imprisonment at allAlwyn, I appreciate everything you've done for meYou don't need to care about me from now onToday's accident was just a warning from himI know you're a kind man, but I'm not worth what you've given meI'm relieved to know that you're okayGoodbye."
Peyton quickly hung up the phoneAlwyn was tittering while holding the phoneIt turned out that she didn't say those words for the sake of Nolan.
Peyton gave the cell phone back to Olivia
She dragged her tired body back to her room to rest.
She didn't know how long she had sleptIn a daze, she heard the door slam closed.
The room was filled with a strong smell of alcoholPeyton felt sick of the pungent odorHer stomach became uncomfortable again.
Before she could say anything, Nolan casually dropped his jacket to the floorThe mattress sank a bitNolan muttered, "Honey, I'm home..."
