Chapter 203 I Waited for You Here

Peyton finally breathed a sigh of relief. She thought, “IIe really scared

me!”

Why didn’t he come home earlier to comfort Helena? What is he doing standing here?

“Mr. Dalton, what a coincidence.”

Nolan glanced up and down at Peyton. Then, he said coldly, “I waited here specifically for you.”

Peyton’s intuition told her that something was off with Nolan. The

flickering light of the lighter reflected on Nolan’s face, making him appear both like an angel and a devil.

“Wait for me?” Peyton swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Nolan’s expression remained cold.

Nolan remained silent and walked ahead.

Peyton couldn’t figure out what Nolan was thinking, but she still followed behind him. The elevator went straight up to the top floor. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

The wind whistled on the rooftop. Despite the arrival of spring, the night breeze still carried a chill. Watching Nolan’s figure, Peyton felt a bit cold.

Peyton couldn’t help but shrink his neck and thought, “Would he want to kill me here?”

After all, Nolan’s ferocity made him more like a bandit than a president.

The distant lights flickered behind Nolan like a galaxy, but his expression remained cold.

“Mr. Dalton, did you call me here for something?”

Nolan looked up and observed Nolan, thinking, “Look at her, even

when she has no ulterior motives towards me, she still carries a distant look in her eyes.”

How could she come to work for me voluntarily?

“Tell me, why did you come to the Dalton Group?” Nolan asked casually, leaning against the wall with two fingers of his right hand holding a cigarette.

Peyton didn’t know why Nolan suddenly asked this. Peyton thought, “Could he have sensed something?”

“Didn’t I already explain the reasons? I was tired of my current life. I wanted to fulfill my self–worth and embark on a new journey.”

Nolan approached Peyton step by step. Peyton couldn’t tell from Nolan’s expression what he was thinking. However, Peyton instinctively felt danger and subconsciously stepped back.-

Peyton stepped back against the wall. Nolan approached Peyton and lifted her chin, holding the cigarette between his index and middle fingers.

Smoke curled around Peyton’s face. Peyton watched as the lit cigarette approached her face. She could already feel the heat from the lit

cigarette.

“I remember you saying that only when you are treating and saving lives, and helping those in need, can you consider yourself to have

Peyton answered methodically, “That is still my dream. But now, which hospital would hire me? I dropped out of school back then and didn’t take many qualifications exams. Plus, I lack experience. Even if I were to get into a hospital, at most I would be a small nurse who delivers and changes medications for patients.”

Nolan did not believe Peyton’s answer, even though it was flawless. He stared deeply at Peyton.

“Peyton, I’ll ask you one last time. What did you come here for?”

There was a moment when Peyton wanted to tell Nolan everything. But when she thought about Nolan’s anger and excitement when he mentioned Paula, Peyton had to swallow all the words she wanted to

say.

Peyton licked her dry lips. “Passing the time.”

The cigarette was almost burnt out, but Nolan still had no intention of letting go.

“You should have known that I hated betrayal and lies the most.”

Peyton swallowed a mouthful of saliva. Just before the cigarette butt was about to burn her face, Peyton closed her eyes tightly and shouted, “I didn’t deceive you.”

Nolan released his hand that was clamped on Peyton’s chin. Peyton opened her eyes again, tears filling her eyes. She forcefully pushed Nolan aside. “You’re crazy!”
