Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 53

Chapter 53 From Now On, You Will Atone For Your Father’s Sins.

Nolan’s words were particularly harsh, but Peyton had no choice.

She could only let go of Nolan’s hand. Nolan had already reached his hand into her down jacket. Inside the down jacket was a sweater, and inside the sweater was a down vest, and inside the down vest was a thermal layer.

Nolan frowned and asked in confusion, “Are you an old lady? Why are you wearing so many clothes?”

Peyton blushed and bit her lip as she answered, “I was afraid of the cold.”

Peyton was extremely thin. She wore so many clothes, but she still didn’t look fat. Nolan quickly realized this.

When his palm touched Peyton’s skin, he felt the protruding bones on Peyton’s back. It seemed like there was only a thin layer of skin on Peyton’s back. He didn’t understand why Peyton had become so thin.

Nolan’s newly arisen sexual desire vanished in an instant. He even felt guilty.

Peyton didn’t understand why things had developed into this situation. She stared at Nolan’s eyes with displeasure. “Aren’t you afraid that Helena will find out what you’ve done to me? Don’t forget, we are already divorced.

Nolan’s cold and harsh voice came through, “It’s none of your business about me and her. I agree with your proposal just now. From now on, you will atone for your father’s sins.

Peyton hurriedly said, “Well, Leo…”

“I would find him.‘

Peyton didn’t breathe a sigh of relief until she heard Nolan’s promise. Nolan stared at Peyton and said, “You must be there whenever I need you, no matter when.

Peyton couldn’t believe that Nolan said those words.

Looking at Peyton’s tears, Nolan brushed her cheek with his cold fingertips and said in a casual and contemptuous voice, “I suddenly realize that I seem to be interested in your body. Besides, every time I touch you, you seem to be in agony.

Nolan looked at Peyton with an extremely cold gaze. “There is nothing that can torture you better than this, right?”

Peyton endured the pain in her stomach and weakly asked, “Nolan, will you ever regret how recklessly you have degraded and tormented me one day in the future?”

“I only knew that only when you were in pain, I would be happy.”

Peyton didn’t expect that her relationship with Nolan would turn out like this.

At Peyton’s request, Nolan escorted her back to the apartment. “Won’t you invite me up for a cup of coffee?”

Since Nolan made this request at that time, it was obvious what he wanted to do. He wanted to finish what he hadn’t finished in the car.

Peyton had no reason to refuse.

Kadence returned to her home these days, and the apartment was empty.

After the door was opened, Peyton didn’t have time to turn on the lights and change her shoes before she immediately rushed to the bathroom and vomited everything in her stomach.

After vomiting, she felt less dizzy than before, but because of the sudden stimulation of strong alcohol, her stomach hurt even more.

Peyton was in so much pain that she broke out in a cold sweat. She curled up on the ground like a shrimp.

This pain spread from her stomach to every organ and every inch of her body. Even when she breathed, she felt extreme pain.

Peyton felt dizzy and had a headache, wondering if she was dying

soon.

She bit her lip tightly, afraid to make even the slightest sound.

After waiting outside for a while, Nolan realized Peyton hadn’t come out yet, so he knocked on the bathroom door. “Peyton, what’s wrong?”

“I… am fine,” Peyton said with an effort. “Just wait a moment. I will come out after I finish cleaning.

After all, Peyton had just had a physical examination a few days ago, so Nolan wouldn’t think about her having a terminal illness.

He thought Peyton was a bit shy, so he left the bathroom door.

He didn’t know that at this moment, Peyton was clutching her stomach, curled up in a ball, in so much pain that she couldn’t catch her breath. She couldn’t even move.

Peyton regretted that she had been reckless and drank two glasses of alcohol.

Nolan surveyed the not–so–big apartment. Everywhere, there were

traces of Peyton’s life.

Seeing the crib placed in the room, Nolan felt a mix of emotions. It was the only thing Peyton took from their marital home.

The moment he rushed up without hesitation when Peyton jumped off the building, he understood one thing.

No matter how much he hated Peyton, he couldn’t stop loving Peyton.

His love and hate for Peyton were intertwined, which made it impossible for them to separate no matter how brokenhearted they

were.

He gradually pushed Peyton into the abyss, but in fact, he was also teetering on the edge of the cliff.

Nolan picked up the stuffed toy on the bed, thinking about how Peyton had been falling asleep with this doll for hundreds of nights over the past two years.

If that thing had not happened, he would have been a good husband and a good father.

Every time he thought of Peyton’s name, he couldn’t hide his deep love for her.

He simply couldn’t completely leave Peyton.

After spending a long time in the bathroom, Peyton finally felt a little better.

She slowly crawled up from the ground, covered in cold sweat, and staggered toward the living room.

Nolan was a person who valued time efficiency. Peyton thought he had already left, but as she looked up, she saw Nolan leaning against the

balcony edge.

The flickering light of the cigarette between Nolan’s fingers. His addiction to smoking seemed to be much greater than before.

Peyton was surprised that Nolan had not left yet.

She wondered, “Is he waiting to humiliate me?”

As Peyton thought about this, her eyes darkened. She took a sip of water to moisten her throat.

Then she walked towards Nolan with slow steps.

“Are we still in bed?” Peyton’s tone was indifferent, as if she was going through the motions.

Nolan looked up and saw Peyton’s pale face, and blew out a smoke ring. “In your eyes, I’m just a pervert, right?”

“If you don’t do it, then I’m going to sleep. It’s up to you,” Peyton said coldly, relieved that she had escaped unharmed. All she wanted now

was to rest.

Upon hearing the sound of Peyton closing the door, Nolan flicked off the cigarette ash. He thought to himself, “This is exactly what I wanted.” Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

But why am I so unhappy?

“Was it because when she looked at me, her eyes no longer sparkled like they used to?”

The door was opened. Nolan saw Peyton curled up on the small bed. Peyton’s frail body occupied the entire bed. She had to curl up her body in order to fall asleep.

Only in this way did she feel secure.

In the darkness, Nolan stood by the small bed and stared at Peyton for a long time. Peyton was so exhausted that she didn’t have the energy to pay attention to Nolan. With the lingering effects of alcohol, she fell asleep.

The next morning, when Peyton woke up, Nolan was still in the master bedroom bed.

Nolan did not mock Peyton, he simply went to the bathroom to take a shower.

The doorbell rang at that moment. Peyton, wearing pajamas and yawning, opened the door.

Alwyn stood outside the door. He held some festive food in his hands.

“The New Year is coming soon. I bought some things to send to you.

“Alwyn, it’s not necessary. I…‘

Peyton hadn’t finished answering when the bathroom door was opened. Nolan walked out, wrapped in a towel and with wet hair.
