Chapter 135 No Intention Of Hiding From You

Peyton looked up and met the eyes of the man standing by the door. Nolan had not taken off his clothes before sleeping, so his shirt was wrinkled and the collar had a few buttons undone.

Nolan lazily leaned against the door. Although his hair was a bit messy, it didn’t diminish his sharp beauty in the slightest.

Peyton was always feeling guilty. Her relationship with Nolan was complicated and constantly entangled

Peyton had previously upset Nolan. When thinking about the people on the island, Peyton’s first reaction was fear.

“I… I couldn’t sleep,” Peyton explained anxiously, watching Nolan approach her step by step.

Peyton knelt on the ground. Nolan, being tall, blocked the light above Peyton’s head, casting a shadow over her.

Nolan’s gaze was clear. He had sobered up a bit from his alcohol. There was no emotion in his pitch– black pupils, making it difficult for her to decipher his feelings.

Peyton hurriedly tried to put the documents back, stammering as he explained, “I was just looking around.”

A hand grabbed Peyton’s wrist, the hand was hot and strong.

Peyton’s heart tightened, and he instinctively pleaded, “I was wrong, I shouldn’t have touched your sister’s files, please don’t be angry…”

Nolan held Peyton’s hand and looked down at the woman in front of

him, thinking, “Since when did Peyton’s eyes no longer hold love or hatred towards me, only endless fear?”

“It was very late,” Nolan’s voice was hoarse.

Peyton looked at Nolan with confusion.

Nolan took the documents from Peyton’s hand and bent down to lift her up. “You have plenty of time to look at this during the day,” he

said.

Peyton widened his eyes in astonishment and thought, “Does Nolan mean I can freely enter the study? Can I even freely look at anything of his?”

It seemed that Nolan could see Peyton’s thoughts, and he calmly said, “I didn’t change the password, so I didn’t intend to hide anything from you.” Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Peyton was placed back onto the soft bed by Nolan. The iron arm wrapped around her waist once again, as Nolan tightly held her in his embrace.

A muffled sound came from above Peyton’s head, “Now you should rest.”

Peyton stared at the silver buttons on Nolan’s shirt. The surface of the buttons gleamed with a cold silver glow in the darkness.

At such a close distance, Peyton could clearly hear Nolan’s heartbeat.

Peyton was completely confused and had no idea what Nolan was thinking.

“If you don’t want to sleep, I don’t mind continuing with the unfinished tasks from the day.”

Peyton trembled in fear, quickly closed their eyes, and dared not make any further movements.

Peyton only realized that Nolan got drunk tonight.

Nolan gazed at Peyton, who lay motionless and curled up in his arms, with a hint of profound meaning in his eyes.

Peyton and Nolan had not slept in each other’s arms for a long time. As soon as Peyton opened their eyes, they saw Nolan’s handsome sleeping face.

At this moment, time seemed to have turned back three years ago. Peyton could see Nolan as soon as she opened her eyes.

Nolan, with a few strands of hair softly resting on his usually smooth forehead, closed his eyes tightly. In this moment, Nolan appeared harmless, devoid of the coldness he used to possess.

There was a faint stubble of greenish–blue on Nolan’s tightly clenched jaw, and even in his sleep, his brows were furrowed.

Peyton instinctively raised her hand to smooth out the furrow on Nolan’s brow. But as she lifted her hand, she realized they had already divorced. Just as she was about to retract her hand, Nolan’s eyes opened at that moment.

The two of them locked eyes, and Peyton saw tiny dust particles dancing in the air.

Peyton’s hand remained stiffly raised in the air. It was quite awkward for her whether she withdrew her hand now or not.

Peyton was still hesitating on how to resolve the current awkwardness. Nolan tightened his grip around her waist. Suddenly, Nolan leaned down and his thin lips landed on her lips without any warning.
