In the quiet room, Peyton’s hiccup broke the silence, and the air seemed to freeze. Suddenly, she was slapped in the face.

Peyton looked awkwardly at Nolan and said, “Um, listen to me.”

In a moment of desperation, she blurted out her true feelings, which only made the atmosphere even worse.

She looked cautiously at Nolan and found that he was not displeased. Instead, he seemed very concerned about her.

She couldn’t believe her eyes. Didn’t Nolan hate her? How could he possibly care for her?

“If you were hungry, just eat more,” Nolan scooped a spoonful and stuffed it into her mouth.

Peyton blinked and thought to herself, “Does he think I hiccuped because I was hungry?”

She clearly came to bring him food, but in the end, she was fed.

“I ate enough. I was really full,” Peyton felt like she was going to vomit.

Nolan frowned unhappily, “You’ve become so thin. Why are you only eating so little?”

He grumbled as he spooned some food into Peyton’s mouth. Her cheeks were puffed up. She looked like a little squirrel.

The door was pushed open at that moment. A woman wearing formal

attire and glasses stood at the doorway. “Mr. Dalton, this document needs…” she said.

The woman was surprised to see Nolan, who had always been serious and avoided women, holding and feeding Peyton. She was stunned on the spot.

Peyton struggled to swallow her food, she had been eating too quickly and choked. Her face turned bright red and she gasped, “Water…”

Nolan complained while handing her the water, “You’re not a child anymore. How can you still choke while eating?”

Peyton wrapped her hands around his neck and rubbed her little face against his, with a coquettish tone, “I was scared.”

Her coquettish voice was the same as before. Nolan shuddered and felt a tickle in his heart.

Nolan heard Peyton’s breath in his car. He turned his face to the shocked woman and said, “Who let you in? Get out!”

“I’m… I’m sorry, Mr. Dalton,” the woman quickly closed the door and retreated.

Although Peyton had her arms around Nolan’s neck, her peripheral vision remained fixed on the secretary.

For her, anyone around Nolan was suspected.

Since the mastermind behind the scenes aimed to drive a wedge between Peyton and Nolan, they naturally wouldn’t be happy to see her getting so close to him. Unfortunately, she didn’t see any other emotions on that woman’s face.

The moment the door closed, Peyton let go of her hand and said, “Your secretary has a lot of nerve. She didn’t even need to let you

know when she entered your office.”

Her voice had a hint of jealousy. Somehow, Nolan felt much happier instead.

“Acting according to circumstances. When busy, I didn’t pay much

attention.”

Peyton jumped down from his thigh and said, “I’m full. You can eat.”

She was like a player.

Peyton stood in front of the huge floor–to–ceiling window, appearing even smaller.

Nolan gazed at her back, feeling complicated.

Peyton looked at the lights outside, but she realized that none of them belonged to her.

Nolan put down his chopsticks and walked behind her, asking in a deep voice, “What are you thinking about?”

Peyton spoke calmly, “I was thinking about your engagement party with Helena. I heard she chose Cherry Blossom Field. The scene must have been very beautiful when the cherry blossoms were in full bloom.”

She turned around slowly and looked up at Nolan. “By the way, you still owe me a wedding,” she said.
