Chapter 129 Farewell, Little Island

As Eric and Rene passed by, the two children looked at her with reluctance.

Peyton smiled slightly at them to reassure.

Phillip remained silent, watching Peyton board the helicopter. He knew it wasn’t the right moment.

Phillip thought, “Nolan cannot die here. I cannot bring trouble to the island.”

“But once Nolan left the island…‘

Phillip’s eyes were filled with a fierce look, and at that moment, Nolan turned around as if he sensed something.

The two individuals locked eyes in the air, resembling a stare–down between a lion and a tiger.

They all understood that today was by no means the end.

Peyton left the island without saying goodbye. She looked at the small wooden house and the giant cherry blossom tree. Laci, the neighbor’s aunt, and the children stood at the door, all watching Peyton leave.

Phillip quietly turned around and left, the sunlight only capturing his silhouette. He was like a lone wolf, gradually moving further away in the forest.

Goodbye, little island.

Peyton closed his eyes and thought, “It’s a pity that I couldn’t wait for

the cherry blossoms to bloom.”

“And if Nolan were to bring me back so conspicuously, I would be discovered, and my plan would be ruined.”

“What? Can’t bear to? “Nolan’s deep voice echoed in her ear.

Peyton is now very careful with his words, afraid that any wrong statement might anger Nolan.

She shook her head and for a moment, she didn’t know how to respond.

The truth would make Nolan angry, but he could see through lies at a glance.

Her fear of him had penetrated to the core. Peyton didn’t even know what to say.

Nolan seemed to realize this as well. He leaned towards her, and Peyton reflexively trembled, like a startled cat. She looked at him with a guarded expression on her face.

Nolan didn’t know why, but he felt a bit sorry for her sudden fright. Nolan reached out and pulled her into his arms. Peyton didn’t dare to struggle and stayed still, leaning against his chest, listening to his strong and powerful heartbeat.

She hunched her body, unable to guess Nolan’s thoughts, nor could she guess how he would torment her next. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

The plane landed on the Dalton’s mansion’s runway, and Peyton was suddenly filled with fear and apprehension.

Even when she got off the plane, her legs were trembling, and Nolan noticed it.

Peyton was particularly like a stray cat in the wild. After experiencing abuse from humans, they were especially wary of humans.

Whenever Nolan looked at Peyton, his eyes were filled with fear.

Just like now, even though he didn’t do anything, he just glanced at her from the corner of his eye, and her body trembled slightly.

Although Peyton came back, he became even more sensitive and even timid than before.

She would carefully examine Nolan’s expression and dare not speak her mind casually anymore.

This kind of Peyton made Nolan feel quite annoyed.

Peyton stared at his back and felt like he was angry again. Peyton thought, “But I didn’t do anything, I didn’t say anything. Why is he angry?”

Peyton secretly touched the pocket where the gun was hidden, hoping that she would never have to use it.

As soon as Olivia entered, she took Chris to one side to play, while Peyton followed behind Nolan and went upstairs.

She entered the door with her front foot, and the next second the door closed behind her.

The room was not lit, the blackout curtains were tightly closed, leaving only a slit for the light to seep in. Peyton saw dust dancing in that beam of light, as well as Nolan’s rolling Adam’s apple.

His face remained hidden in the darkness, so Peyton couldn’t see any expression on it.

Her lips and neck were exposed to the sunlight. In the darkness, a hand

caressed Peyton’s lips, and the rough fingers still felt warm.

She didn’t know what new torment Nolan had come up with. Just as she was about to speak, Nolan’s slender fingertips slid from her lips all the way down to her delicate and petite collarbone.

In the darkness, Nolan’s breathing grew heavier, and Peyton couldn’t quite figure out his thoughts.

Just as Peyton was about to speak, she saw Nolan turn his head and lean towards her. His face flashed in the sunlight and the next second, it was pressed against her lips.
