Chapter 249 Is This Marriage Inevitable?

The caregiver auntie never expected to see Nolan in such a situation.

Nolan’s pupils dilated slightly, and he did not deny it, “It was me.”

Auntie thought for a moment and seemed afraid of implicating Peyton. She quickly explained, “Um, itwasn’t Ms. Schmitt who told me, I figured it out myself. The news of your engagement was all over theplace a few days ago. Even though Ms. Schmitt had her eyes covered, I still recognized her at firstglance.”

Speaking of which, the aunt’s voice also noticeably lowered. “Did you replace Ms. Schmitt?”

Nolan didn’t want to discuss this topic. “Peyton wouldn’t have any problem.”

“Yes, Ms. Schmitt is a good person, she definitely wouldn’t have any trouble.”

Aunt wiped away the tears from her face. “Mr. Dalton, go ahead and ask me anything. I will tell youeverything about Ms. Schmitt.”

Nolan had a thousand words in his mind, but at this moment, his throat felt as if it was blocked bysomething, preventing him from uttering a single syllable for a long time.

“Peyton… did he not mention me?” Finally, she opened her mouth with these words.

The caregiver aunt shook her head. “Never, Ms. Schmitt is a very stubborn person. When I first mether, Mr. Schmitt had a car accident. Ms. Schmitt was busy going in and out of the hospital whilepregnant.

I noticed she was wearing a ring on her finger, so I suggested that her husband come to the hospital tosee her. But every time, Ms. Schmitt. just shook her head and said you’re busy.”

“Later, Ms. Schmitt lost her child. During that time, her overall condition was not good. Mr. Schmitt’shospital expenses were high, and Ms. Schmitt’s health was also poor. In order to cover Mr. Schmitt’smedical expenses, Ms. Schmitt had to work multiple jobs alone. She barely managed to sustain Mr.Schmitt’s medical costs.”

“Ms. Schmitt was truly a very good person. Even so, she never owed me a single penny, and even inthe toughest times, she never sold her ring. Until one day, Ms. Schmitt took off her ring, and Ispeculated that she might have gotten divorced.

“Throughout, Ms. Schmitt never complained about her husband, Mr. Dalton, no matter how unfortunateher life was. I only found out online that you are her husband, and I am just curious about one thing.”

Auntie stared straight at Nolan. “Since you cannot give Ms. Schmitt happiness and time, what aboutmoney? Can’t you give that either? If you can’t give anything, then is this marriage really necessary?”

Nolan froze. His whole life had been prestigious, as if someone had suddenly poured a bucket of coldwater on him.

“Judging by Mr. Dalton’s appearance, it seems that no one has ever spoken such words to you. I amjust an ordinary person, and for the past two years, I have witnessed how Ms. Schmitt has managed tosurvive on her own. Do you know how difficult and painful every step of Ms. Schmitt’s journey hasbeen? Oh, silly me, you must be busy with your new love, how could you possibly know?”

Aunt got angry and criticized Nolan for everything he had done over the years. “Ms. Schmitt comesfrom a good family, looks good, and has a good temper. There really isn’t a single problem to pick on.Even if

she married an ordinary person, she wouldn’t end up like this. Mr. Dalton has been lying here for thepast two years, have you even come to take a look? When Mr. Dalton was having surgery and Ms.Schmitt was pregnant, standing outside the operating room in the cold wind, where were you?”

The nurse’s voice grew louder. “Now Mr. Schmitt is missing, and Ms. Schmitt’s life or death isuncertain, you know. The car hit the wall, you know it turned. The stocks went up, you know I bought.Made a mistake, got sentenced, you know I regretted. The big snot dripped into the mouth, youremembered and flicked it away.”

Lucian coughed lightly on the side. “Auntie, please calm down first.”

“Calm down, how do you expect me to stay calm? Although I had no personal connection with Ms.Schmitt, I witnessed her struggling for two years. In the end, Ms. Schmitt ended up in such a situation,and I feel sorry for her. And the man who she protected and never spoke a harsh word to, ended updestroying her completely. What kind of tycoon is he? Disgusting! Why is it Ms. Schmitt who died, andnot you, this heartless scumbag!”
