Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 222

Chapter 222 Don’t Play God Here

Peyton didn’t know how Elbert brainwashed Colette. Colette was already in her forties, yet she remained naive.

“Why should I bless them? Helena made me the way I am today. I would have been fine without confronting her, but you still want me to bless her. What kind of reasoning is this?”

“I heard about your previous stories. Peytie, that child was an accident. Helena also fell into the sea, almost like you, but she was lucky to give birth to the child. You can’t blame her.”

Peyton knew that Helena was once again distorting right and wrong in

front of Colette.

The most pitiful thing was that no matter what Helena said, Colette believed her and instead blamed Peyton.

“Mrs. Chase, stop playing God here.”

“Peytie, I sincerely invite you to attend Helena’s engagement banquet. What is this attitude of yours? What is it that you still can’t let go of? Can’t you just be obedient and be a daughter who puts my mind at ease?”

Every word from Colette hurt Peyton. What’s even more tragic is that Colette didn’t know how much pain Peyton was in, and she kept hurting Peyton repeatedly, making her feel unbearable agony.

This time, Helena won completely.

Not only did Helena win over the men, but Peyton’s mother also stood completely on her side.

Peyton didn’t want to explain anymore and gently asked, “Answer me one question, if Helena and I were both in a dangerous situation and only one person could survive, who would you choose?”

“Of course it was you, you were my daughter, everything I did was for your own good.”

Colette sighed, “You may not listen to what I say, but it is indeed for your happiness. You are my daughter, and I love you.”

“That’s enough. Helena and I didn’t have a deep hatred, so don’t expect us to get along peacefully and never contact each other again. I hope today is the last time I see you.”

“Child, I…”

“Please go back, Mrs. Chase. There is nothing more to be said between you and me.”

Peyton was not angry, but rather treated her in the calmest manner.

Colette saw her with a calm face unwilling to speak anymore, and could only sigh. Colette placed the small gift she had brought for Peyton on the dining table and left.

Inside the gift box was a small bear–shaped telephone watch.

She doesn’t need it anymore. Over a decade ago, she had asked her mother that if she got first place in the final exams, she would buy her the most popular teddy bear phone watch at that time.

On the day when the results came out, Colette, however, left with a

man.

Seeing the teddy bear watch after more than ten years, Peyton felt complicated.

She charged it and wore the watch on her delicate wrist.

That night, she was like a child who had gotten candy, constantly touching her wristwatch, and fell into a deep sleep.

Dawn broke, and a new day began. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

She had to go to the hospital early in the morning for various examinations.

Peyton looked at the sunny outdoors and silently encouraged himself.

It will definitely get better.

She had just finished packing up and was about to leave when a familiar number flashed on her phone screen.

Peyton glanced at the phone and noticed that the caller ID clearly displayed “Dwayne“.
