Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 198

Chapter 198 Salma Was The One I Allowed To Come In.

Helena instinctively wanted to ask if it was Peyton who bit, but before she could utter the words, she swallowed them back.

Nolan and Helena were about to get engaged. Helena didn’t want any more mishaps to occur that would cause Nolan to postpone the engagement. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Since Nolan said that he bit it himself, then it was him who bit it.

“It was my mistake. I didn’t bite you, so it couldn’t possibly be a mosquito bite.”

Helena slowly squatted down and picked up the documents from the ground for Nolan. Peyton, who was hiding under the table,

instinctively grabbed onto Nolan’s leg.

Whenever Helena glanced under the table, she could clearly see Peyton.

Nolan felt pain in his calf. Nolan didn’t expect Peyton to have such strength.

Nolan could feel the tension in Peyton’s fingertips even through his pants. Without thinking, Nolan threw the pen across the room.

The pen “smacked” onto the floor tiles without a carpet, diverting Helena’s gaze.

Nolan clearly saw Peyton’s body relax, curling up into a ball.

Helena went around to the front of the table to help Nolan pick up the pen. From Helena’s position, there was no way she could see Peyton.

“Nolan, it’s getting late now. I’ll wait for you here and we can go home together after you finish work.”

Peyton’s hand had just relaxed, but now it tightened again. This time, Peyton even pinched Nolan’s leg. Peyton stared at Nolan with wide eyes, as if urging him to find a way to make Helena leave early.

Over the past two years, Nolan and Peyton have either been in a cold war or arguing. Nolan hasn’t seen Peyton’s adorable side for a long time.

Many years ago, Nolan’s life was a dark abyss. However, Peyton’s appearance later on was like a ray of warm light that healed Nolan.

Later, the deaths of Paula and Brodie completely crushed Nolan, like two mountains.

Nolan had already suffered from a severe mental illness. Only when Peyton was around, Nolan could feel an unprecedented sense of ease without having to take medication.

“Up to you.”

As soon as Nolan agreed, Peyton’s eyes widened even more. Peyton seemed to be accusing Nolan with a look of grievance.

Nolan found it amusing and reached out to ruffle Peyton’s head, then pinched Peyton’s face.

Peyton could only endure it all and dared not make a sound.

Peyton couldn’t believe she hadn’t noticed before how immature Nolan used to be.

Helena stood by the bookshelf and glanced at the books inside.

Helena looked out of the French window again and watched the

pedestrians below for a while. In her eyes, the people on the street seemed like ants.

Nolan worked in a place like this every day, as if he were a god, controlling the life and death of all beings. Helena felt that this feeling was indeed very good.

Helena felt extremely happy when she realized that from now on, she would also be one of the people standing on this high platform.

Just when Helena was happy, Peyton’s feet went numb.

Peyton tugged on Nolan’s pants, but Nolan ignored it and instead responded to Helena’s words.

“I had someone find two teachers to teach Chris pronunciation and spelling.”

Peyton felt speechless. Peyton thought, “Chris has just turned one year old, and Nolan is already making Chris start learning. Can’t Chris be a little more heartless?”

Helena also felt it was inappropriate and said, “Isn’t Chris still a little too young now?”

“No,” Nolan said calmly, “Marie can start learning after she turns. three.”

Helena breathed a sigh of relief. Subconsciously, Helena paid more attention to Marie.

At this moment, the door opened and the cleaning aunt came in.

Helena also saw the cleaning lady for the first time. Helena said unhappily, “Who allowed you to come in without knocking? Don’t you see what time it is? How can you come in to clean during the boss’s meeting with clients? Don’t you understand the rules?”

As soon as Peyton heard that the cleaning lady had arrived, he cautiously poked his head out from under the table and secretly moved aside Nolan’s trousers to look towards the door..

The cleaning aunt hunched her body, looking very thin.

“Sorry, I came to clean because I saw that Mr. Dalton didn’t have any appointments this afternoon. Ms. Chase, I didn’t know you were here.”

Peyton was a little surprised that the cleaner knew all of Nolan’s schedule.

Before Helena could continue to get angry, Nolan had already spoken, “Salma is here with my permission. Do you have any objections?”
