Chapter 71 Be Kind To Children

Nolan suppressed his violent impulses. He was afraid that if he looked at Helena for a moment longer, he would have to twist her neck.

If he had come any later just now, Peyton would have been done for!

In the past, Helena used to be jealous and competitive, but Nolan turned a blind eye to it.

Nolan thought it was just a little fuss between women. He didn’t expect things to turn out the way they did today.

Nolan looked at the wound above her eyebrow and said, “You go take care of your wound first. Leave the child to Mary.”

Mary was the nanny sent to take care of Chris. Peyton breathed a sigh of relief when the rash was under control and then handed over the

rest to the nanny.

“Mom, mom,” Chris called again, panicked when he saw her about to leave, losing the obedient look he had just had.

Peyton was heartbroken by his crying, but he came back and held the child. Chris then stopped making a fuss and obediently snuggled in her

arms.

Nolan brought over a cotton swab. Peyton instinctively tried to avoid his touch, but Nolan coldly ordered, “Don’t move.”

Peyton looked around the room full of Helena’s people and could only trust Nolan, so she stood still in place.

Nolan knew that Peyton was afraid of pain, so he was very gentle. She

endured the pain without making a sound.

The once delicate little girl has turned into what she is today, obviously all caused by Nolan. His cold violence and words over the past two years have gradually forced her into what she is now.

Peyton didn’t smile, didn’t complain, and didn’t even cry out in pain.

Nolan’s gaze fell on Peyton’s hair, which still had some egg residue on it. Anger rose from Nolan’s heart and spread to his organs, with every cell in his body carrying his rage.

He accidentally applied too much force with the cotton swab and poked Peyton’s wound hard.

“Hiss.” Peyton exclaimed unexpectedly.

“Did I hurt you?” Nolan asked quickly, his fingers resting on her chin, his tone slowing down a bit. “Then I’ll be more gentle.”

The tone sounded particularly ambiguous, and Peyton didn’t understand it, so she averted her gaze.

“It didn’t hurt.” This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Nolan quickly treated the wound and put a pink band–aid on it for her. She loved beauty, so the band– aid had to be cute too.

He still retained his habits.

Peyton distanced himself and said, “Thank you.”

She calmly distanced herself from him, “It’s getting late and Kadence is waiting for me to come home for dinner. Take good care of this child, I’m leaving now.”

“I had Jayson send you.”

“Okay, thank you.”

Peyton handed the child over to Nolan, Chris immediately teared up and said, “Mommy hold, hold me.”

“Good boy,” Peyton gently touched his hair, “I will come to see you again in the future.”

The child was reluctant and kept sniflling, but Nolan forcefully dragged him over like holding a little chicken. After giving Chris a cold stare, he dared not act stubborn anymore.

The father’s authority was imposing. A thought flashed through Peyton’s mind, how nice it would be if this child were hers.

When she realized she had such a terrible thought, she quickly shook

her head.

Nolan spoke, “I will give you an explanation about what happened today.”

Peyton just replied, “Be nice to this child.”

She left the place quickly after she finished speaking.

Peyton went out and looked at the blue sea. If her child was still there, she would have treasured them instead of treating them as a tool for her gain.

Peyton felt heartbroken when she thought of her child who had not even had a chance to take a breath of fresh air.

She suddenly collapsed in front of Jayson before she had taken a few steps.

“Mrs. Dalton!”
