Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 214

Chapter 214 She Lives Long While I Deserve an Early Death?

Nolan’s words struck a chord with Peyton. He understood the expectations Peyton had for her mother.

The person who was constantly on his mind treated himself like this as soon as he returned to the country. He knew how sad Peyton was.

But Colette didn’t understand.

She didn’t like Kason, and as a result, she didn’t like his daughter either.

Even though Helena did not consider her worthy of respect, especially on the days when Elbert was not around, Helena secretly tripped her up numerous times.

The nature of humans is contradictory. They often show their gentle side to outsiders, while their irritable and bad temper is fully displayed towards their loved ones.

She had been trying her best to please Helena for many years, and it had become a habit for her.

Just like habitually ignoring Peyton, not caring, not paying attention to her feelings, and even casually abandoning her.

Nolan’s words did not make her reflect. She stubbornly held onto her argument, “All I know is that now you are engaged to Helena, and you and Peytie are in the past. Peytie, I beg you, leave Nolan, don’t go and ruin Helena’s family, okay?”

Peyton’s heart was riddled with wounds. The survival hope she had

finally ignited was slowly crushed by Colette.

“Mrs. Chase, is it that everything I did was wrong?”

“If you truly knew about propriety and integrity, you should have stayed far away from Nolan instead of staying in his company and letting Helena become a laughingstock.”

Looking at Colette’s extremely cold face, Peyton thought of how every time in his childhood, he would work hard to achieve the best results and hand over a satisfactory answer sheet to her, she would have the same expression.

She remained indifferent.

“I got it. You go wash your hands and have a meal, and in the afternoon, you have a piano lesson at home by yourself. I’ll go to the beauty salon for a while.”

Peyton never received the praise she had anticipated, and she couldn’t understand where she had gone wrong.

Clearly, all the students in the class said that every parent liked children with good grades.

Why doesn’t mom know how to praise herself?

That must have been because I wasn’t good enough. I need to work harder in order to succeed. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

Peyton was already intelligent, and she did not waste her talent. She worked harder than everyone else.

She received praise from everyone, except Colette.

Until this moment, she only realized that when that person doesn’t like you, even breathing is wrong.

She did not like her own existence, even considering herself as a stain for betraying her first love.

Even if he held the stars from the sky in front of her with his own hands, she still scorned it, considering it dirty.

When Peyton was a child, she could still comfort herself by saying that her mother must have had her reasons and that her mother loved her.

The cost of growing up was making her see clearly who Colette really was, she truly didn’t love herself at all.

Even though Helena had no blood relation with Colette, she was doted on by her simply because she was the daughter of her beloved.

Peyton looked up, holding back her tears.

At that moment, her stomach started hurting again.

Seeing her with her neck stiff and not saying a word, Colette softened her tone and said, “Peytie, don’t blame me for being biased. Helena has always had poor health since she was young, and she finally married the person she loves. We are a family. Just consider it as giving me face and let go of this relationship that no longer belongs to you. Let’s make everyone happy, okay?”

Peyton sneered, “You said she was not in good health?”

“Yeah. Helena had insomnia, and she often couldn’t sleep well. You know how important sleep is, and how bad it is for the body when you can’t sleep well.”

-Peyton took a step back and chuckled, “How bad can her sleep be?

Will it kill her?”

“What nonsense are you talking about? Helena will definitely live to be a hundred! Do you think Helena is as healthy as you? We are a family.

Why do you have to have a problem with her and not be a little more accommodating?”

Peyton angrily grabbed Colette by the collar. “She lives to a hundred, and I’m the one who dies young? It’s my first time being human, why should I let her have her way?”

Colette was so angry that she trembled, and she raised her hand and slapped Peyton’s face. “How dare you? Is this how you speak to your mother?”

A hand grabbed Colette’s wrist, preventing the slap from landing.
