Chapter 25 A Life for a Life

Nolan was almost enchanted by Peyton’s smile, but he came back to reality very soon.

His brows furrowed, as he disgruntled, “Peyton, what trick is this?”

Peyton said earnestly, “I’m not playing any tricks. I just want you to stay with me for three months. After three months, I won’t step into your personal life. Marry Helena or have a baby, as you wish.”

By then, she would be approaching the end of her life, seeking a place where no one would find her.

Nolan met her serious gaze, puzzled. He had thought that after their conversation, Peyton would hate him even more. Yet, she made this strange decision.

Nolan glanced at her coldly. “What if I don’t agree?”

“Then I will never sign the papers. I can wait, but I fear Helena and the baby can’t.”

Peyton raised an eyebrow, being as playful as ever. “Only three months. After that, I’ll sign the divorce papers and leave Aelford City for good.”

Nolan sneered, “Can you bear leaving Kason behind?”

Peyton was dying. She had no spare time for others.

Peyton’s expression softened. “The doctor said my father’s chances of waking up are slim. So, if he remains unconscious, it doesn’t matter where he stays.”

Perhaps on the day of her death, Peyton would ask the hospital to end Kason’s life. If she passed away before him, she was afraid no one would take care of Kason’s funeral.

What if Nolan threw Kason to the sea? What if his body was not intact? It was disrespectful.
