Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 126

Chapter 126 He Had To Die.

Phillip knew very well that dealing with someone as paranoid as Nolan, being overly concerned about Peyton would only harm her.

Shortly after, the door opened and Phillip saw Nolan dragging Peyton out. Despite Peyton’s obvious weakness, Nolan showed no mercy.

Phillip instinctively wanted to step forward, but Lucian coldly warned, “Don’t move.”

Phillip anxiously watched as Peyton opened his mouth, but remained silent.

Nolan had already appeared with a pitch–black handgun in his hand, standing tall and seemingly in control of others‘ lives and deaths.

“Peytie, look closely, he died because of you.”

Peyton was very scared, she didn’t know what to do now to stop Nolan’s killing.

The more she begged, the more it would only fuel Nolan’s murderous intent, but even if she didn’t plead, he would still take action.

What should we do? What should she do exactly?

Just at that moment, a clear voice rang out, “Go to hell, you evil person.”

It was Eric’s voice, he didn’t know how long he had been hiding, always searching for an opportunity.

He had learned gun shooting from Phillip, but due to the danger of

firearms, Phillip usually forbade him from using them.

He naively believed that as long as he killed Nolan, the crisis would be resolved and Peyton would be free from now on.

At that moment, a gunshot rang out, and the bullet did not come from Nolan’s hand, but from Eric’s gun. No one noticed that he was actually armed.

The gun was aimed at Nolan, but Eric’s shooting skills were obviously not proficient. In his haste, he fired the gun and missed the target.

The bullet whizzed through the wind and flew straight towards Peyton’s chest.

The sudden turn of events caught everyone off guard, and no one realized that the child was actually holding a gun!

The moment Peyton saw the bullet, she had already been embraced by

someone.

Between the nostrils was a familiar woody scent, much like Nolan’s personality, calm and aloof.

His tall figure not only blocked the wind and snow, but also blocked the bullet.

“Nolan!” Peyton looked at him anxiously, in that moment her emotions were all over the place, all her thoughts focused on Nolan.

“How are you? Are you okay?”

Peyton broke free from Nolan’s embrace, and only then did she breathe a sigh of relief as she saw the bullet piercing through the black wool coat and hitting the bulletproof vest underneath.

Just then, all the snipers aimed at Eric. Peyton hurriedly said, “Don’t

shoot! He’s just a child!”

Nolan extended his cold fingertips to brush the tear stains at the corner of her eyes. “Even a young beast with fangs is still a beast, Peytie. If I hadn’t been wearing a bulletproof vest, both you and I might have died.”

He leaned down and whispered softly in her ear, “Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself.”

Nolan’s voice was soft, without any discernible emotion.

But Peyton knew he was angry! And he was very angry.

Apart from matters related to her, his emotions fluctuated greatly. The angrier he became towards others, the calmer his emotions were. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Peyton held him tightly with both hands and gently pleaded, “Nolan, Eric didn’t mean to hurt me. He’s just a child, please don’t hurt him.”

Chris didn’t know why Peyton was crying so hard. When Chris saw her crying, he also started crying as if he had been wronged.

“Dad, Mom!” Chris’s crying disturbed Nolan’s concentration.

Nolan hurriedly picked up the child. Chris and Peyton held him on both sides, crying incessantly.

He had to compromise, “Alright, I can spare this child’s life, but he…”

Nolan stared at Phillip with a cold and indifferent tone, “He had to die.”
