Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 42 What Illness Did She Have?

Kadence’s first reaction upon seeing Nolan was to shrink her neck. The reason she had been so bold at the table earlier was twofold: firstly, because alcohol gives people courage, and secondly, because Peyton was by her side.

She had witnessed Nolan’s doting on Peyton with her eyes. The more he adored Peyton, the more ruthless he was towards outsiders.

Kadence still remembers two years ago when she took Peyton to a pub. Nolan personally came to pick up Peyton and gave Kadence a cold look when Peyton wasn’t paying attention, leaving only four words, “No next time.”

When he left, Kadence had already been drenched in cold sweat. For several days in a row, she had nightmares of Nolan’s eyes.

“Click.”

He closed the lighter lid and looked faintly at Kadence. That kind of fear struck again.

Kadence cleared her throat and her voice lowered by a few decibels, “Um, Mr. Dalton, I was looking for Peytie. I won’t bother you anymore.”

Nolan casually flicked off the ash from his cigarette, glancing at her sideways, “Wanna chat?”

Kadence didn’t think Nolan would catch up with her. She politely declined, saying, “My mom says good girls have to be home before dark. Maybe next time, next time.”
