Chapter 283 Everyone Made Mistakes
Nolan glanced at her expression and continued, “Did you find out about your mother’s condition?”
“Well, but I didn’t plan on donating bone marrow to her.”
“You did a great job. Personally, I also don’t want you to have any further involvement with her. The Chase family has put in a lot of effort these days and still haven’t found a bone marrow match for her. It’s just that we haven’t confirmed it with you yet.”
“Do you think the Chase family wouldn’t let me go?”
“They would definitely not let you go. I know Elbert’s character too well. Perhaps you won’t be pleased to hear this, but he truly loves your mother. He would do anything at any cost just to save her.”
Nolan placed both hands on Peyton’s shoulders and urged, “Peytie, there may have been many misunderstandings between us. I have hurt you in the past, but I genuinely want to protect your heart. I will assign more people to search for your father. Will you please rest here for a while? I will come back to pick you up once I have everything sorted out.”
The sound of helicopter blades echoed on the lawn outside, adding an invisible sense of urgency.
Peyton glanced at him deeply and said, “I understood.”
Nolan took hold of the back of her head and planted a kiss on her forehead. “Peytie, give me some time, I will definitely give
you an explanation. I promise, we will reconcile and be like before. I will give you everything you want.”
For a moment, Peyton didn’t know how to answer him without angering him.
Nolan took out two rings from his pocket, and they were his and Peyton’s wedding rings.
He took Peyton’s finger and put the ring on her, the seriousness in his eyes just like it was years ago.
Peyton couldn’t understand why a man like this would change his mind.
Chris’s existence was proof of his infidelity.
The ring fell onto her slender finger joint, but it was one size too big.
She lost a lot of weight, and her fingers became even more slender.
Peyton chuckled, “You see, after we got divorced, even the wedding ring didn’t fit anymore.”
Nolan’s eyes flickered. He did not get angry, but carefully took off the ring.
“Peytie, rings can be resized if they are too big, and people can also change when they make mistakes. Everyone makes mistakes.”
He folded the ring back up and said, “I will put the ring on you the next time we meet.”
Nolan planted a kiss on her hand, “Mrs. Dalton.”
There came an urgent voice from outside, and Nolan reluctantly looked at her, “Peytie, I have to go.”
In the past, whenever he had to leave, even if it was him going to work every morning, Peyton would throw a tantrum in his arms, then walk him to the door, and watch him leave until he was out of sight.
Now she just nodded, while Nolan kept turning back. He stood still and silently watched Peyton until the door, his dark pupils showing a hint of resentment, “Aren’t you going to see me off?”
Peyton placed the book on the bedside table and whispered, “Saying goodbye only adds to the feeling of reluctance, but it doesn’t solve any substantial problems.”
Nolan did not answer and walked away with a cold face.
Soon, the sound of the plane taking off could be heard. Peyton stood by the window, watching the gradually disappearing red dot in the sky.
She no longer felt any reluctance towards him in her heart, on the contrary, she felt more at ease after he left.
There was a signal here, she could make a phone call.
But the internet was blocked, so she couldn’t go online.
She had already inquired beforehand. Even with the internet, this is an uninhabited island with no markings on the map. She had no idea where she was.
Even if the phone was connected, she knew nothing except for
telling others that she was on the island.
The day after Nolan left, Peyton had just finished calling Kadence to let her know he was safe when he received a call from an unknown number. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
“Peyton, is that you?”
This person had a serious and steady voice, he was Elbert.
