Chapter 405
Nolan didn’t say anything to Peter. He simply turned around and walked toward the parking lot where he had parked his car earlier.Moments later, the sound of an engine filled the air. Nolan drove down to where his aunt and uncle were standing and parked neatly in front of them. He stepped out of the car slowly and spun the keys in his hand casually, as if it was nothing special.Peter recognized the car at first glance. His eyes widened, and his hand froze mid-air. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing.It was the latest Audi series, brand new, sleek and expensive. The market price alone was in the millions of dollars.Peter felt his throat go dry. The car Nolan had just driven was worth more than five times his own car. His own car, which he had been so proud of just moments ago, was nothing more than an ordinary Ford in comparison.He sat there in shock, staring at the car, unable to say a single word.Peter couldn’t believe it. He had never, not even in his wildest dreams, imagin

“I’m really sorry,” Mary said awkwardly, clearly embarrassed by her husband’s behavior and the way he had just left without her. “This is just how Peter normally is. He’s very hot-tempered.”“It’s fine,” Nolan’s aunt said softly, though it was obvious she wasn’t fine at all. Her voice was small, and her eyes were lowered in shame.“Oh, yeah,” Mary suddenly said, clapping her hands lightly as if she just remembered something. “I thought I heard the doctor come in earlier and say that your husband can be discharged. We can take you both back home with our car.”“Uncle is getting discharged?” Nolan asked, confused. “I thought you just called me that the doctors said they would have to admit him back.”“Yes, that was what they said at first,” his aunt replied. “They said his blood pressure was too high and that they needed to observe him for a while. That was what they meant by the spike. But the doctor came back later and said he’s in the clear now and can go home.”“You don’t have to wo

Nolan was hearing everything Mary and her husband were saying, and he wasn’t pleased. In fact, he was trying very hard to control his anger. He didn’t know they could stoop this low just to bring his own family down. It made his chest burn with rage. He was very upset with them, deeply upset, but no matter what, they were still his family, and he couldn’t really do anything drastic to them. So instead of reacting the way he truly wanted to, he stepped forward and walked fully into the ward.“Oh, Nolan, you’re here,” his aunt said quickly when she saw him. She forced a smile on her face, clearly trying to act normal. “Say hello to my sister and her husband.”“Hello. It’s good to see you,” Nolan said with a forced smile of his own, even though his heart was heavy and his mood was already ruined.“Oh my God, Nolan. You’ve grown so big,” Mary said, smiling widely as she looked him up and down. “The last time I saw you, you weren’t this tall. You were still small.”Nolan only nodded lightl

She would feel sad and jealous at the same time, and her mind would wander to what her life would have been like if she had money too.She would imagine herself dressing extravagantly, wearing beautiful dresses that hugged her body perfectly, accessorizing them with gold necklaces, bangles, and earrings, just like the women she saw. She would imagine walking confidently, looking neat, polished, and admired. But those thoughts always ended the same way. They were only dreams.The truth was that she was not well to do. Even buying clothes for her children was already a very hard task for her. She would have to save the little money she had just to get them something decent to wear. Most times, she had to choose between buying food and buying clothes. And when it came to herself, she didn’t even bother. She had long stopped thinking about buying clothes for herself because it felt like a luxury she could not afford.So when her sister started bringing out so many clothes from the suitcas

Mary paused briefly, then turned her attention fully to her sister, looking her up and down without hiding her judgment.“And also, just take a look at yourself, huh. Why do you look older than your age? Why do you look so miserable? I really don’t like what I’m seeing. Your skin isn’t even glowing. It looks so dry. You’re dressed so shabbily too. And honestly, who still dresses like this? This is old-fashioned. You’re dressing older than your age.”Mary sighed dramatically as she finished speaking, shaking her head repeatedly while looking at her sister with clear disappointment and disdain.“You know that our family’s condition is different, Mary,” Nolan’s aunt said with a bitter smile as she let out a tired sigh. Her eyes looked dull, like someone who had long accepted her fate but still felt the pain of it every single day.“Well, that’s true,” Mary replied immediately. “And that is entirely your fault. If you had agreed to marry Silas back then instead of your husband, you would

At first, Nolan couldn’t put a face to the bodies he was seeing. Still, something about the man felt too familiar. That feeling refused to leave him. And just as he moved closer, trying to make sense of it, he finally saw their faces.It was his aunt’s sister, Mary, and her husband, Peter.Nolan’s expression changed immediately. Normally, his aunt came from a well-to-do family, at least according to what she had told him over the years. Her parents weren’t crazily rich, but they were comfortable enough to meet their daily needs. When she was still living with them, her living condition was far better than what she was currently facing with her husband.When Nolan’s aunt married his uncle, she moved a bit far away from her family. From the very beginning, her family didn’t support the marriage. They knew that Nolan’s uncle had nothing to offer financially and that he was poor. They told her over and over again that she was making the wrong decision. They warned her not to marry down bu
