Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 195

Chapter 195 It Depends On Whether You Wanted It Or Not.

If it were in the past, Peyton would have already gone up to check Nolan’s injury or give him a head massage.

But Peyton wasn’t here today.

Even if they separated because of someone’s manipulation, even if Kason’s hospitalization had nothing to do with Nolan, Nolan has ultimately become Peyton’s ex–husband.

Peyton had to get used to a life without Nolan in the future.

Peyton stood respectfully to the side and then calmly said, “Mr. Dalton, I have brought the planning proposal.”

Nolan didn’t open his eyes and frowned, saying, “Come here.”

Peyton walked up to him, holding the plan, and said, “If you’re too tired, I’ll read the proposal.”

When Nolan used to be busy in the past, Peyton would do this. He would take a break while she nagged, and then he would tell her the decisions and let her handle them.

Nolan opened his eyes and grabbed Peyton’s wrist, then pulled her into his arms. Peyton’s soft body fell directly into his embrace.

Peyton let out a soft scream. Last night, Nolan was furious and told her to leave, but now he suddenly did this.

Data scattered all over the ground, while Peyton leaned against Nolan’s solid chest.

Helena should have been asserting her authority as the president’s wife in other departments, while Nolan was embracing his ex–wife in his office.

Peyton felt that their relationship was chaotic.

“Mr. Dalton, what were you doing?”

Peyton looked at Nolan’s newly opened eyes in confusion. There was no hatred or indulgence in his eyes, like a calm lake, which made it difficult for Peyton to understand his thoughts.

“This had something to do with you.”

The person behind the scenes only captured Peyton and Dillon entering the hotel, one after the other, but did not capture any substantial photos of them making contact. This is also why Peyton speculated that this incident had nothing to do with Brynn.

If Brynn had done it, she would have taken at least two more intimate photos of the couple. So Peyton speculated that the person was lurking near the entrance.

If Nolan had not taken Peyton to the rooftop and if Peyton had not changed clothes, this would not have happened.

Nolan raised an eyebrow and asked, “Are you blaming me?”

“I dared not.”

“You are quite capable. You, as a newcomer in the workplace for less than a week, managed to offend everyone in the department.”

Nolan picked up a strand of hair that fell on Peyton’s ear, and it was slightly longer than before.

He leaned in close to Peyton’s car and said, “You said you wanted to start over, work hard, but…”

Nolan paused for a moment and said coldly, “I don’t think your hostile demeanor towards the world is indicative of someone who came here to work properly. Peyton, don’t take me for a fool. What do you want to do by joining the Dalton Group?”

Peyton’s heart skipped a beat, and then she realized that she couldn’t hide anything from Nolan after all.

Peyton thought, “Last night, when I mentioned something about Paula, Nolan got very angry, let alone the fact that person is closely monitoring me. If I were to speak up, it might alert that person.”

Peyton swallowed the words she wanted to say and then said with a sense of grievance, “I came here to work, but I need someone to give me a chance. As you can see, they bully me because I’m a newcomer without any backing, and they made me a scapegoat as soon as I joined. I refuse to let them make things difficult for me.”

Peyton became even angrier as she spoke, continuing, “You didn’t see it last night. Dillon is old enough to be my father, yet they still expect me to hang out with him. If I listen to them, I’ll be bullied to death.”

Seeing Peyton’s aggrieved look, Nolan furrowed his brow and asked, “You had someone backing you up, right?”

Clearly, from the very beginning, Nolan tacitly agreed to it, hoping that Peyton would only be able to return to him after suffering grievances.

Unexpectedly, Peyton changed from being obedient in the past and had a bad–temper.

Peyton looked at Nolan pitifully and asked, “Mr. Dalton, are you my backer?”

Nolan caressed Peyton’s lips, which were not coated with lipstick. Her lip color was slightly lighter than that of an average person.

Nolan flippantly said, “Well, that depends on whether you want it or not.”
