Chapter 36 Not Important
What a coincidence.
Peyton didn’t know why she was so unlucky. Every time she was embarrassed, she would come across him.
The Morris family and the Chase family were close. It was the Chase family that asked the Morris family to invest in the hospital. And Bruce wanted to introduce some excellent doctors to Helena. So there was a reunion.
No one expected Nolan to come with Helena. His appearance made everything different. Everyone greeted him at once.
But as a gentleman, Bruce didn’t leave Peyton alone. Instead, he gave her tissues thoughtfully. And their fingers touched by accident.
The room was warm. Under Peyton’s down jacket was a white knit. dress. She didn’t try to show her curves. But her dress couldn’t hide her nice curves at all.
Peyton lowered her head slightly, revealing her thin and fair neck from behind. It made her look adorable.
Nolan noticed that there were no marks on her neck. It was like love. One day, he would be over her.
But when Bruce grabbed her wrist, Nolan realized that he hadn’t let it go as he thought. His black eyes fixed on Bruce’s hand.
Bruce sensed a cold gaze and raised his head. He found that Grace was greeting Nolan. Bruce wondered if he had made a mistake.-

Bruce greeted Nolan naturally, “Didn’t expect you to come here, Mr. Dalton. It’s our honor to have you here. Helena, this is Peyton, the
genius I mentioned to you. Peyton, this is Mr. Dalton. You must know him. And this is…”
Peyton was no longer so gentle. She looked colder. “I know. She is Mr. Dalton’s fiancée.”
How ridiculous! She thought that she would not meet him again. To her surprise, she came across him so soon.
Bruce patted his head. “Silly me. Mr. Dalton and Helena’s story has been in the news recently. Everyone knows it.”
“Everyone knows that Helena is Mr. Dalton’s fiancée. Does anyone know his ex–wife?” A female voice came closer. It was Kadence, who just sold a house at the party.
Kadence was straightforward and pretty. She had her pink hair in a bun and walked in on high heels.
Her hostile words shocked everyone on site.
“Kadence, don’t talk nonsense. He doesn’t have an ex–wife!”
“Yeah. Mr. Dalton loves Ms. Chase a lot.”
Kadence was determined to take her best friend’s revenge. So she walked to Nolan fearlessly and said with hatred in her eyes, “Mr. Dalton loves his fiancée. What about his ex? He abandoned her and…”
Nolan interrupted her, giving her no chance to finish her words. “Not important.”
Then he walked past them. Other people were surprised that Nolan had an ex–wife. But obviously, Nolan didn’t want to talk about this. Only Kadence had the guts to offend him.

People walked away with Nolan. No one noticed Peyton’s face. Only Kadence, who stood next to her, noticed that her body shook.
Peyton didn’t expect Nolan to be so heartless. He despised their relationship like that.
Peyton clenched her fists. It turned out that in his eyes, what she cherished was not important.
Kadence wanted to embarrass Helena. But she didn’t expect Nolan to be such a cold bastard.
Kadence looked at Peyton apologetically. She knew that according to the agreement between Nolan and Peyton, Nolan and Peyton’s relationship should be a secret.
“Peytie, are you OK? Do you want me to send you back?”
If they stayed here, Nolan would have more chances to mock them. And Helena would be prouder.
Kadence didn’t want to admit it, but based on Nolan’s response, he was apparently partial to Helena.
In a relationship, the one not favored was like a loser in the game. Nolan’s words hurt Peyton all the time. And Peyton couldn’t take it
anymore.
Peyton wanted to leave at first. But she changed her mind and didn’t. choose to leave. Instead, she said calmly to Kadence, “You have a backup dress, right? Let’s go to the bathroom. I want to get
changed. The party hasn’t begun yet. It’s impolite to leave now.”
Kadence was surprised that Peyton didn’t run away!
Even in the bathroom, Kadence was still complaining. “Did you see his face? I was pissed! I wanted to punch his face. What a bastard!”

Peyton smiled helplessly, “Come on.
“Peytie, are you sure you want to stay and see them? After all, you still care about him. You’ll feel uncomfortable.”
“Didn’t you tell me that I’d let it go one day? And he made a mistake. Why should I chicken out?“.
Peyton took a bag from Kadence and went to the dressing room. “You are right. I must live my life for myself.”
But Peyton didn’t expect Kadence to buy her such a colorful and sexy dress. It set off her nice shape.
Even Kadence took a swallow. “Now I know cups do make a difference. You look amazing in this dress!”
She put some lipstick on Peyton’s lips. The dress might be over–sexy for others. But it suited Peyton very well. She looked sexy but pure.
“Let’s go.”
Peyton walked in on high heels. Her short hair made her look more capable.
When she came in, people all looked at her. Grace snorted in jealousy. “This is too much, isn’t it?”
A familiar and mild voice sounded. “Peyton.”
It was Alwyn Russell, who stood next to Bruce. Peyton was surprised that he came here too.
Like Bruce, Alwyn was from a family that was involved in medicine. It made sense that Bruce invited Alwyn Alwyn waved at Peyton. “Here.”
Alwyn knew Peyton’s relationship with Nolan. She knew that Alwyn

did this to help her. If she turned him down, Alwyn would be embarrassed. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
So she walked to Alwyn under Nolan’s angry gaze.
Peyton sat next to Alwyn. It had been a long time since he met her. Alwyn was relieved when he found that she looked well.
Other people were trying to flatter Nolan when Alwyn focused on Peyton. He kept serving her nutritious food.
Peyton was busy eating and didn’t notice Nolan’s gaze.
Alwyn cared about Peyton so much that Bruce felt strange. “Alwyn, I’ve never seen you be so nice to a girl. Did you…”
Zane Brandon asked in curiosity as he ate, “It’s said that Peyton suspended her studies to get married. Did you get married with Alwyn?”
All people all looked at Peyton at once.
“Bam.”
Peyton saw Nolan put down his fork and look at her from the corner of
her eye.
