Chapter 39 Can You Be Nice to Her?

Helena looked at the side of Nolan’s face. Nolan didn’t want to make his relationship with Peyton public, not to mention that they had

divorced. Why did Nolan get so angry when Alwyn offered to drink for Peyton?

Helena stared at Peyton with evil eyes. Peyton could still tug at Nolan’s heartstrings.

Alwyn was put in an awkward position. It was silent in the whole. room. No one had the nerve to annoy Nolan.

Alwyn knew what Nolan meant. Nolan wanted to get Alwyn scared off and quit the game. So, he wouldn’t pursue Peyton.

Alwyn would stop if he were someone else. But Alwyn’s mind was full of Peyton’s smiles. He had fallen in love with Peyton the moment he set eyes on her.

She was so beautiful and bright at that time.

Unfortunately, Alwyn was busy studying and preparing for programs abroad, so he had to bury his admiration in his heart. However, when he came back from abroad, he found out that she had dropped out of school and got married. When he saw her again, she no longer had the brightness.

She was more like a withering tree, with no nutrition.

He waited till Peyton got divorced so that he could accompany her, even for a little while.

Alwyn grew up following the rules. It was the first time he followed

his heart. Alwyn didn’t care for Nolan’s threat. He looked so pure and determined.

“I don’t think it’s up to you. Mr. Dalton, your fiancée was at your side. I think you should take care of Ms. Chase rather than Peyton. I will protect Peyton no matter what. I will never hurt her like her ex- husband.”

And then, he gulped down the wine and put the glass on the table with a loud bang. He held Peyton’s hand and said, “It’s late now. I will send Peyton home. Excuse us.”

Kadence was thrilled. She wanted to applaud Alwyn.

Peyton knew what Alwyn did would make things worse. If she left the party with Alwyn, his family would be ruined by Nolan.

She wanted to stay, but Alwyn was stronger than her. He pulled Peyton away easily.

She looked at Alwyn worriedly. “Alwyn…”

Alwyn looked at her gently and gestured for her to stop saying.

Peyton failed to see Nolan’s expression, but she could imagine his face. She said to Alwyn, “You shouldn’t fight against him. You can’t afford. to annoy him. You’re just lucky in that car accident. You know I will

never…”

Alwyn took up the other hand. He looked so gentle. “I know. And I know what I’m doing. Nolan is moody, but he is not a tyrant. He won’t hurt my family. I’m ready for the consequences when I said that.”

Furrowing, Peyton wanted to explain that Nolan was way more ruthless than people thought.

In the past, Nolan would get crazy when it was about Peyton. Once a

senior stopped Peyton in the hallway and express his admiration. When he was rejected, he wanted to use force.

The next day, she heard that boy fell off a roof when he was drunk.

The boy’s family blamed Peyton for it and made a scene at school. Someone even slapped Peyton.

After several days, this family’s house was on fire. All the family members were dead.

First of all, Peyton thought it was a coincidence. Later, she happened to find Nolan putting some white powder in the pot. She was curious and Nolan told her it was bone ashes.

Only then did she know the boy’s family members‘ bodies were made ashes by Nolan.

Nolan was ruthless. He was a 100% tyrant.

His sister passed away. But he just made the Schmitt family go bankrupt. Peyton should be grateful that her family were still alive.

But Alwyn wouldn’t be that lucky. Peyton shook her head, “No, Alwyn. You shouldn’t get involved.”

Peyton left her coat at the party. Alwyn took off his jacket and put it on her shoulders. He put his hands on Peyton’s shoulders.

“Peyton, I know he hurt you so much. I don’t wish you to say yes to me. I just want to take care of you for the rest of the time. Please give me a chance. Let me be your friend.”

Peyton felt so disturbed. The nicer Alwyn was to her, the sooner she should reject him..

“Alwyn, you don’t know that Nolan…”

Before she could say anything, she saw a black figure not far away, staring at them like death.

Nolan spoke to Peyton, “Come here.”

Peyton found Nolan was even more possessive of her than before.

Alwyn pulled her behind him, looking at Nolan warily. “Mr. Dalton, you have divorced. Please don’t hurt her anymore.”

Nolan didn’t answer him. He fixed his gloomy eyes on Peyton’s jacket and repeated. “Take that off and come here.”

He demanded like a master. If Alwyn was not here, she would turn right away and leave. But she thought of Nolan’s threat at the party. She knew Nolan was capable of doing that.

Gritting her teeth, Peyton suppressed the humiliation and took off Alwyn’s jacket.

“Alwyn, I told you to leave me alone.”

Alwyn was confused. “But you have divorced!”

Peyton didn’t respond. She stuffed the jacket into Alwyn’s hands and turned away. “Alwyn, I don’t deserve your love. Don’t waste your time

on me.”

Alwyn could see she was helpless. He grabbed Peyton’s wrist. “I can help you.”

“Lucian, cut his hands,” Nolan said coldly.

A man walked from the dark. It was Lucian who was walking towards Alwyn. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Peyton broke free from Alwyn’s hands and stopped Lucian. She said to

Nolan. “If he was hurt, I will kill myself in front of you. Let him go. He has nothing to do with me.”
