Marriage Beyond Redemption

Chapter 267

Chapter 267 All the warships were mobilized

The sky gradually darkened, and the rain also intensified, mixed with the huge waves rolling over the boats at sea.

Peyton sat in the warm cabin, feeling the unsettling sensation of weightlessness as the boat rose and fell in the seawater. She didn’t particularly enjoy this feeling, as it made her feel uneasy.

Kevin was very careful. He had someone decorate the room for Peyton in advance, almost identical to her previous room style.

Dawn nestled lazily in the cat bed, sound asleep. The room was filled with a comforting aroma from the lit scented candles, and soothing soft music played in the background to put Peyton at ease.

There were still some snacks on the table.

Peyton had no appetite. She held a book in her hands, but she didn’t look at it for long.

Peyton paced anxiously in the room.

The boat came to a stop at this moment, which made Peyton even more uneasy. She put down her book and was about to get up to inquire.

Peyton met Kevin at the door. Kevin smiled and said, “Peyton.”

“Kevin, what happened?”

“It’s okay, Peyton. You were too nervous.”

Kevin could clearly feel Peyton’s restlessness and unease. He smiled and comforted, “If you can’t relax, you can take a bath. I have prepared

some relaxing essential oils for you to try.”

Peyton, however, shook his head. “Why did the boat stop? We haven’t left yet, right?”

“Don’t worry. The coast guard is on a mission. They usually inspect for smuggling and drug trafficking. As long as we cooperate with the inspection, we will be cleared to proceed quickly.”

Kevin gently rubbed Peyton’s head. “We came out. Nolan couldn’t find you.”

Peyton felt as if Kevin was not just a younger brother, but a trustworthy older brother, due to Kevin’s gentle expression.

Peyton suddenly remembered that Kevin seemed to be a year younger than her, but he didn’t have a trace of childishness.

“Kevin, you were just a student, how come you weren’t afraid at all?”

Peyton even felt that Kevin must have gone through a lot of hardships to be tempered into the calm person he is today.

Kevin didn’t hide anything. “I was sent abroad at such a young age, and I did go through a lot of hardships. Moreover, I am well aware of my situation, and I can’t rely on anyone. It’s not as safe as it is in my home country, so I made a lot of friends, both good and bad, and that’s how I found the path to becoming a mercenary.”

Peyton stared at Kevin earnestly. “You suffered.”

“It’s nothing, at least he didn’t mistreat me financially, so I can’t say I suffered. Peyton, just sit down and have something to eat, take a shower and get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow we’ll be out at sea.”

“Okay.”

Kevin glanced at his phone message. He thought, “Nolan did come to find me.”

Harley was indeed amazing. He immediately recognized that the small ball was made by Peyton.

Luckily, I had already come up with a plan. Nolan, you can keep searching, but even when it gets light, you won’t find Peyton.

Kevin averted his gaze from Peyton and gently closed the door for her.

Kevin’s gaze suddenly became sickly, devoid of its usual tenderness. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

He thought, “Peyton, I finally got you after all the effort, and no one can take you away from me.”

More and more ships were forced to stop at sea, just like during a traffic jam. Everyone was speculating if something big had happened ahead.

They wondered, “Could it be that the neighboring country’s aircraft carrier was hit and sunk?”

“Is it still going to be war?”

Everyone’s thoughts were varied. They were gazing out on the deck, with some even snacking while watching the commotion.

More and more coast guard ships surrounded the area, and Kevin also started to feel uneasy.

Kevin thought, “Although Nolan stands at the top of the business world and it’s normal for him to play some tricks in the market, he shouldn’t be able to mobilize the coast guard to work for him.”

In Kevin’s mind, this was just normal coast guard duty.

But Peyton looked at the police boats with numbers on them, she had seen the sea island surrounded by land, sea, and air police.

Peyton thought, “Nolan was able to mobilize the coast guard, last time even battleships were deployed.”

Peyton’s face turned paler as she saw one of the police boats approaching their vessel.
