Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 209 Everything in the world was more beautiful

than you

Peyton sarcastically laughed.

She broke Nolan’s fingers one by one. “Mr. Dalton, I have never asked anything of you. Even the so–called title of Mrs. Dalton, since I was able to give it up, I will no longer covet it.‘

Nolan’s expression was complicated. Peyton smiled gently and spoke in a calm voice, “I used to think you were the most important person in the world to me. But when I gave all my time, energy, and emotions to you, I realized I missed out on too many precious people and things. When I no longer saw you as the center of my world, I found my life immediately became enriched. I felt the wind of spring, the rain of summer, the falling leaves of autumn, and the snow of winter. I realized that everything in the world is more beautiful than you.”

She gently raised her hand and her slender fingers lightly caressed the face in front of her, a face she had once loved.

“Nolan, I don’t deny that I still have feelings for you. Perhaps for a long time, I won’t be able to erase you from my heart, you will still affect my emotions and tug at my nerves, but I simply don’t have the energy to think about you anymore.”

Peyton pointed her fingertips to her lips and said, “Nolan, after all these years of loving and hating each other, don’t you feel tired? I am tired, I don’t want to waste any more time on you and Helena, nor do I want to be unhappy because of insignificant people. From now on, let’s live our own lives, okay?”
