Chapter 187 Tonight, I Didn’t Pour Any Alcohol On You

Being overly dramatic?

Peyton was furious and stared coldly at Nolan, saying, “You have more than just me as a woman, why does it have to be me? Helena is downstairs, do you need me to call her up?”

Because only you! ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Nolan kept this answer hidden in his heart, pinching the tender flesh around her waist and taking a deep breath.

“Did you have to have a problem with me?”

Peyton forced herself to swallow the words “I think you’re disgusting.” She knew that her relationship with Nolan was like walking on a tightrope now, and she had to carefully maintain her balance. Being too aggressive wouldn’t benefit her.

Realizing this, she weakly lowered her head and withdrew her minions, “I… just need some time to adjust.”

Sure enough, no matter when, her display of weakness was always the most effective tactic for Nolan.

Nolan looked at her pitifully as she hung her head, revealing her snow- white neck.

It was like a little kitten exposing its vulnerability, which made his anger subside a bit.

“Okay, I won’t bother you for now.”

Peyton was surprised. He had become so easy to talk to now.

Peyton lifted his head, with a gleam in his eyes.

She could feel that Nolan would occasionally be harsh to her, but the hatred she once had for him was not as strong anymore.

Perhaps she could probe his intentions.

If Nolan could be won over, the task she wanted to investigate would be accomplished with half the effort.

“Nolan, let’s talk.”

“Sure, I hadn’t eaten yet. Let’s cat and chat at the same time.”

Nolan ordered a meal and went to the bathroom. Peyton originally intended to say a few words and leave, but it was clear that Nolan had no intention of letting her go.

Hearing the sound of water in the bathroom, she sighed helplessly and opened the wardrobe.

Inside, there were indeed her clothes from before. Helena had never been here.

Peyton changed into a set of clothes and waited quietly for Nolan.

Dinner was quickly served, with flowers, red wine, and steak.

The scene was so romantic that it created an illusion for Peyton. They hadn’t divorced, and today was their anniversary.

It should be Nolan who greeted, but the waiters did not stay. They left after putting down their things.

The candlelight flickered on the candlestick, and the air was filled

with the scent of roses and fine red wine.

Nolan pushed open the door, bringing with him a refreshing scent.

He walked over with his long legs, pulled out the main seat, raised an eyebrow and glanced at her, “What are you staring at? Sit down.”

Peyton looked at the dishes he ordered, all of which were her favorite dishes from the past. Even the steak was cooked to her preferred level of doneness.

“How long has it been?”

Peyton looked at Nolan through the flickering candlelight. His handsome face was no longer tense, but rather unusually relaxed,

“Two years and one month,” he quickly replied.

She gave a bitter smile and said, “So it turns out I’m not the only one who hasn’t forgotten.”

“Peyton, I wasn’t as heartless as you thought.”

“If you had been sincere, we wouldn’t have ended up where we are today.”

“Steak couldn’t shut your mouth?” Nolan frowned.

Peyton cut a piece. The taste was the same as before, without any difference.

The people around her remained the same as before, but there was not a hint of familiarity.

Nolan raised his glass towards her, “Have a drink, I won’t pour you any alcohol tonight.”

It seems that he hasn’t forgotten how long he vomited after getting drunk the last time he went to ask him.

She didn’t hesitate. Their silver cups lightly clinked. Peyton just took a small sip, while Nolan drank almost half of it in one gulp.

He pushed the foie gras towards her, “Try it.”

“Um.”

The two hadn’t had such a harmonious atmosphere in a long time. Nolan suddenly realized that she was quite obedient when she didn’t hit him on the head with the ashtray.

However, the smile on her face was gone.

He believed that everything would come back. Leo could be found, Kason would wake up, he would return her home to her, and she would surely fall in love with him again.

“Nolan,” Peyton suddenly looked up.

Nolan’s body trembled, his gaze fixed on Peyton.
