In the flickering glow of fireflies, Nolan’s expression appeared particularly serious.

Peyton licked their dry lips and asked softly, “Nolan, is Helena just a fleeting companion to you or a deeply beloved partner?”

Nolan chuckled, “If I was deeply in love with her, why would I marry you? Peytie, don’t you really know my feelings for you?”

He had hurt her, but his kindness towards her was genuine. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unable to let go for so long.

“Then you were just being impulsive, to annoy me?”

It has been two years, although this marriage has already ended, she still wants to seek an explanation for herself.

Nolan suddenly embraced her, and Peyton heard him sigh in her

ear.

“Peytie, I will tell you everything about her, but not now. Peytie, would you trust me one last time?”

Seemingly afraid of being rejected, Nolan added, “Don’t listen to what the media writes about love. For me, she was just a sister who grew up in our circle, but…”

He suddenly lifted his head, his gaze meeting Peyton’s eyes. “I did have someone I liked in my heart, and it wasn’t Helena, she

was…”

Peyton met his, intense gaze, and even her heart was beating irregularly.

Cherry blossoms and fireflies danced around them. Everything here was so unbelievably beautiful that even her disgust

towards Nolan was blurred.

Nolan was about to speak when the phone in his pocket kept vibrating.

The quiet island, at night even the birds have already settled, leaving only the sound of vibrations.

“You answer the phone.” Peyton said casually.

Nolan glanced and saw that it was a call from Lucian.

At this moment, it was apparent that Lucian had an important matter to discuss as he called him. He had no choice but to answer, “Hello.”

“Mr. Dalton, something happened.”

Nolan didn’t know which line had the problem, so he glanced at Peyton and walked to the side to answer the phone.

The sea breeze blowing in her face cleared Peyton’s temporarily feverish mind a little.

She sneered and turned away.

Now that everything has happened, who was important to her, the person he liked?

When Nolan hung up the phone, wanting to continue the previous conversation, Peyton had already left.

Only the fireflies fluttering around and the firefly lamp placed on the cobblestone road were there.

Nolan quickly went back. Peyton leaned against the head of the bed, reading a book. When he entered, she didn’t even give him a second glance.

“Peytie, I’m sorry, but I had to leave.”

Nolan’s voice was urgent, “Next time, I will definitely accompany you for diving.”

Peyton turned another page and casually wrote a word back, “Oh.”

Nolan sat on the edge of the bed and took her hand eagerly, saying, “I know you resent me for imprisoning you on the island, Peytie. I don’t want to deceive you. I want you to be safe more than I want my own selfish desires. I discovered that those people are connected to the Poisonous Bug.”

Peyton’s eyes flickered, “What Poisonous Bug?”

“That was an international pharmaceutical organization composed of wanted criminals from various countries. This group of people were not good people. They were willing to sacrifice thousands of lives for the sake of their experiments. They operated independently in different countries, but also infiltrated within them, having connections with many financial magnates. There were even high-level officials who illegally colluded with them for personal gain, providing them with convenience and protection.”

Peyton was greatly shocked. No wonder she couldn’t find any problems at all. It turned out to be such a powerful organization.

“I suspect that there are also people in our country colluding with them, which is why I couldn’t find out their whereabouts. Peytie, although I don’t know what their purpose is for joining the Dalton Group, the Dalton Group has been operating smoothly for these years and there have been no financial issues.

That’s why I haven’t been able to discover their existence. But they have hostility towards you, which is one of the reasons why I don’t want you to go back. There is another important reason.”
