Chapter 84 I Wasn’t Worthy

“What did you call me?” Colette looked at Peyton in disbelief.

“Mrs. Chase, have you forgotten that you and my father divorced over a decade ago? Currently, yourhusband is Elbert, so I should address you as Mrs. Chase, shouldn’t I?”

Peyton used to not be so cold. In the past, they had met after Colette returned home. Back then,Peyton was more gentle, unlike now, where Peyton has become like a sharp knife in a short period oftime.

Colette said, “Peytie, you are different from before, how can you say such things? After all, I am stillyour mother.”

Peyton said, “I truly have changed. It is only now that I realize how cruel the human heart can be andhow ugly and selfish human nature can be. If I had understood this earlier, I wouldn’t have spent somany years longing for my mother in the dark nights. I wasted so many years waiting for someone whocould never come back.”

Colette said, “Peytie, I understand, I’m sorry. Now that I’m back, I will do my best to make it up to you.”

Peyton looked at the woman in front of her, and in fact, she couldn’t quite remember what Colette usedto look like.

Compared to the photo, there were some traces of time on Colette’s face. Although Colette’sappearance hadn’t changed much, it felt completely different from Peyton’s memory of her mother.

Peyton said, “When you wanted to abandon me, you just left, and now you want to compensate me.Mrs. Chase, have you ever thought that I don’t need your compensation at all? When I needed you themost, you

am strong enough, and even if you give me ten times the care, I don’t need it.”

Colette said, “Peytie…”

Peyton said, “Mrs. Chase, your daughter is over there. I didn’t deserve to be your daughter.”

There is a kind of person in this world who is born for love, and Colette is one of them. She didn’t loveKason, so when Elbert came to pick her up, she could leave everything behind.

For years, Colette had been completely silent, never calling Peyton once, never greeting Peyton once.

Now, with the passage of time, Colette remembered that she had a daughter and wanted to makeamends for what she called Peyton.

Peyton had long lost interest.

Peyton looked at the magnificent hall. The banquet was underway, with voices clamoring and bustlingnoise.

What kind of malice do these seemingly decent people hide in their hearts?

Now, Peyton didn’t need family, nor did they need love.

Peyton only had to do one thing.

Peyton wanted to make Nolan suffer deeply, so that he would never be able to escape from a life ofpain.

Thinking of that scene, Peyton raised her lips.

As early as Peyton appeared, Nolan noticed her. Peyton wanted to

attend the banquet, so Nolan prepared several dresses for her.

Nude pink, bright red, sky blue, and creamy yellow, but there is no white.

Peyton was wearing a well–tailored white floor–length gown, with her hair fixed in place with hair gel atthe back of her head, and a white veil on top.

Her veil was made of transparent material, with some sparkling diamonds hanging from it. When thelight refracted from above, it emitted a dazzling glow.

Peyton wore a pair of diamond earrings, simple yet elegant. The earrings looked like a white rose in therain, lonely and desolate.

Peyton appeared to evoke pity and a desire to get closer, yet one was afraid of getting pricked by herthorns.

She didn’t fit in with the atmosphere of the entire dinner.

Peyton seemed to sense Nolan’s gaze, and she shook her glass and gave him a slight smile.

“Are you… Peyton?” a clear voice rang in Peyton’s ears.

Peyton’s gaze shifted from Nolan to the person next to him. This young gentleman appeared to bearound the same age as her. He was dressed in a white suit, resembling the king’s most belovedyoungest son.

He was not the most majestic prince, but he was the most beautiful and delicate one.

“Who were you?”

The boy saw Peyton looking at him and felt a bit nervous. He quickly explained, “I am Kevin Dryden,we met when we were kids. I was once

chased up a tree by your cat and was too scared to come down.”
