Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 7 I Don’t Have a Future

Peyton’s tone was calm when she talked about Nolan. It was like. Peyton had gotten over him.

But Alwyn wasn’t fooled. When one really loved someone, it took a lot to get over the person. Alwyn understood that Peyton was acting. She would only lick her wound when she was alone.

Alwyn didn’t ask Peyton any more questions. He changed the subject. “I know that you haven’t paid Kason’s hospital bills. As your friend, I can help. You can pay me back in the future.”

Alwyn knew it was difficult for Peyton to raise so much money. He offered to help more than once. But Peyton turned Alwyn down every time.

Peyton’s answer was the same this time. “No, thank you.”

“Peyton, think about Kason’s health. Would you rather accept that jerk’s insult than my kindness? I don’t need anything from you. I simply want to help. I’m not as rich as Nolan, But my family is well off. The sum you need is nothing to me. Don’t worry about it.”

Peyton cupped the glass with both her hands and slowly turned to Alwyn. Her face was so pale that anyone would feel sorry for her.

“Alwyn, I know you’re a good friend. But… I don’t have a future

anymore.”

Peyton couldn’t return Alwyn’s feelings or money.

The intravenous drip bottle was about to be empty. Peyton pulled out the needle roughly. She didn’t use a cotton swab to press on the back

of her hand. Blood dripped down rapidly.

Peyton didn’t spare it a glance. She stood up and grabbed her coat. “Alwyn, you can stop worrying about it. Nolan will give me 1.6 million dollars as soon as we settle the divorce papers tomorrow. My dad had surgery yesterday. I need to see him.”

Peyton was stubborn. She was a genius, but she gave up her study and got married. Nobody knew why.
