Chapter 24 1.6 Million Dollars

Peyton’s cheeks were marked by tears. She knew deep down that she and Nolan could never go back.

Nolan had betrayed her and harmed the Schmitt family, who owed Nolan his sister’s life.

The scores between them were unsettled. It was a total mess. The more they struggled, the tighter the bindings became, suffocating them and leading to their demise.

Nolan cupped her check, his thumb gently wiping away the tear stains on her face. “Peytie, hate me. I betrayed you. I killed our baby. There’s no going back.”

Peyton sensed Nolan’s wavering. His rare tenderness was like a sapling sprouting from an iceberg.

But soon it was shattered by a storm.

Nolan left the disheveled room, leaving Peyton behind.

Peyton knew it was their farewell.

There was no turning back.

When Peyton emerged from the room, Olivia was nowhere to be found. Olivia thought they were just quarreling, so she had been attempting to make peace between the two.

In Olivia’s eyes, Peyton was Nolan’s one and only wife. But Olivia was unaware that she had made a big mistake.

Peyton mocked herself. In the past, she didn’t feel lonely because of Olivia’s presence. When Olivia left, Peyton realized the house and life itself were meaningless and boring.

Outside, it was already dark. Olivia had prepared some soup. Peyton poured it into a bowl.

Steam rose, casting a glow on her face.

Peyton’s expression was calm as ate.

She had found a way to break free from the exhausting fight. It drained them both physically and mentally.
