Chapter 219: Chapter 220

Chapter 220 You Broke Your Promise

Nolan silently watched Peyton, and these past few days she didn’t make any particular moves.

Peyton spent a long time in the hospital a few days ago. Kason’s health was deteriorating day by day,

so it was only natural for Peyton to want to take care of him.

These days, she didn’t go anywhere except downstairs. Even Kadence didn’t come over.

She was wearing a beige lace dress, with a gentle breeze brushing against her face. Cherry blossoms

were dancing around her, making her look exceptionally beautiful.

Nolan thought, “She became so gentle after leaving herself.”

Peyton glanced at him from a distance, nodded slightly as a greeting, and then left without looking

back.

Nolan felt upset. He had already made a decision and had even made a promise to her, but he kept

breaking his own rules for Peyton time and time again.

Seeing that she was about to leave, he took a few steps forward and grabbed her wrist.

Peyton glanced at him and warned, “Mr. Dalton.”

Nolan was still dressed in a suit and tie, but his tie was slightly crooked, and his once meticulously

groomed hair hung down in a strand

This is not like him.

Tomorrow is the engagement day, theoretically he should have a beaming face, how could he give off a

sense of desolation?

Nolan swallowed his saliva. “I was just feeling a bit uneasy.”

He knew he shouldn’t have come to find Peyton, but this uneasy feeling had been lingering for several

days.

“Oh,” Peyton blinked and looked at him with indifference.

The sky gradually darkened, and the streetlights quietly lit up.

His tall figure was enveloped by the light of the street lamp, and his face no longer had the calm and

composed expression it used to have.

“Did you have anything to hide from me?”

Nolan didn’t know why he had such a feeling, the last time he felt so uneasy was two years ago on the

eve of Peyton falling into the sea.

He always felt that something would happen.

Peyton looked up into his eyes and said in a calm voice, “No. Mr. Dalton, can you let go of me,

please?”

There seemed to be a layer of mist on her face, which made it difficult for him to see her true thoughts.

“After all, I was afraid of being misunderstood by your fiancée.”

“If…”

Nolan paused and then said, “You can tell me if you have any needs.”

“I need a man, can you provide one?” Peyton joked, watching as Nolan’s expression gradually turned

cold.

“Look, since you can’t do it, don’t make empty promises. Mr. Dalton, you probably wouldn’t know, the

bigger the hope, the greater the disappointment.”

She reached out and pried his fingers one by one from her wrist, “Just like you once said that I was the

only woman in your life, but in the end, you still broke your promise.”

“I…”

After Nolan’s last finger was pulled apart by her, Peyton turned around and faced away from him.

“Nolan, don’t come looking for me anymore. Whether I’m alive or dead, it has nothing to do with you

anymore.”

After saying that, Peyton ran towards the distance.

The cherry blossoms seemed to have rained down, gradually engulfing her body.

Nolan wanted to pursue her, but he suddenly realized that he didn’t even have the qualification to

chase after her.

What could he say even if he was caught up?

Or rather, what else could he change?

He covered his chest where his heart was pounding erratically, wondering why he still felt so uneasy

Peyton rushed into the elevator, pressed the floor button, and gasped heavily.

Why did Nolan still come to this point today?

“Ding…”

The elevator door opened, and she walked out slowly, only to see a

person standing at the entrance.

Peyton took a quick glance and turned around, heading back to the elevator.

“Peytie, don’t go.”
