Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 217

Chapter 217 They got married

Peyton’s surgery was scheduled for this Friday.

Watching the drizzle slanting across the sky, Peyton opened her umbrella and dialed Kadence’s phone number.

Kadence’s voice sounded weak and tired as she started complaining as soon as the call connected, “Ugh, I’m so annoyed! I’ve pulled two all- nighters for work. My life is consumed by work.”

Peyton covered her mouth and giggled, “I remember you telling me a few days ago how handsome your boss was.”

“No matter how handsome he was, he wasn’t my boyfriend. If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have changed jobs. There was nothing wrong with the previous company.”

After Kadence broke up, Ruben went to her former company to win her back. Kadence got angry and quit her job.

She didn’t want to live a life where she had to constantly please others. So, she declined Nolan’s invitation and switched to a highly reputable real estate company in the industry.

However, the workload at the new company was too intense…

“By the way, Kadence, were you free on Friday?”

“No, the boss asked me to go on a business trip with him. What’s wrong?”

Peyton knew that Kadence was naturally ambitious. While she appeared to be scolding her boss, she was actually aspiring to make a

name for herself.

Now is the time for her career to rise, and she naturally needs to work hard.

Peyton swallowed the words she wanted to say, “It’s nothing. I wanted to ask you out for a meal, maybe next time.”

“Alright, there’s plenty of time ahead. Peytie, wait for me to bring back some local specialties for you.”

Kadence hung up the phone after a few words and was called to revise the plan again.

Peyton smiled and said goodbye.

Looking at the misty world in the rain, she reached out and let the raindrops fall into her palm.

The cool mist made her feel alive.

Peyton looked like a homeless child, squatting under a tree and watching the bustling street.

In such a vast world, she couldn’t find a single person who could sign for her.

The raindrops slid down along the umbrella and splashed into the small puddle in front of her.

On the huge screen across the street, the venue where Nolan and Helena got engaged was being played synchronously.

Thousands of acres of cherry fields, cherry blossoms bloomed.

He was dressed in a suit and tie, welcoming his bride.

She lay on the operating table, unaware of life or death.

Peyton glanced at the phone contact list, and his gaze briefly lingered on the note for “Mom“.

Her mind was filled with Colette’s face.

“My Helena will definitely live to be a hundred years old. Do you think Helena is as healthy as you?”

“Helena had always had poor health since she was young. She finally managed to marry the person she liked. Can you please end this relationship that no longer belongs to you, and make everyone happy?”

There were still unhealed marks in the open palm.

Her nose suddenly felt a bit sour. Her father lay on the sickbed, and her mother didn’t have her in her heart. The man who once said he would protect her for a lifetime is about to have another woman.

She was the only one alone.

She looked up at the impenetrable curtain of rain overhead, wishing she were dead.

The slap from Colette shattered the survival hope she had painstakingly built up.

It takes decades for a seed to grow into a big tree, but it only takes a moment to destroy the big tree.

A single word from the abuser could easily shatter all the efforts made by someone struggling to rise from the mud.

Peyton realized his pessimistic thoughts and shook his head repeatedly.

She had to stay alive. She hadn’t been able to bring the mastermind behind the scenes to justice yet, she couldn’t die, absolutely couldn’t die.

She wiped her tears carelessly.

From the corner of her eyes, she seemed to see a person getting off the car by the roadside.

A person wearing leather shoes walked step by step through the muddy cobblestone road, approaching her. All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

Peyton looked up with hope, only to meet a pair of eyes filled with

concern.

“Ms. Schmitt, did you get lost?”

A disappointment flashed in Peyton’s eyes, “It’s you.”
