Love Drug (Summer and Fraser) novel Chapter 131

Chapter 131 A Morning Aftermath

Finished

Trevor’s sharp, dark eyes fixed on Peyton, searching her words for any trace of falsehood. His last clear memory. I was holding Summer, kissing her. Yet, when I awoke, it was Peyton lying beside me.

Peyton’s scalp prickled under his intense stare, her heart racing with fear that he might see through her. Trevor pulled his gaze away, regaining his composure. “Get dressed first. We’ll talk after, he said, leaving the bedroom for the suite’s living

TOOTIL

A tangle of frustration constricted his chest, making it hard to breathe. He lit a cigarette, inhaled deeply few times, and exhaled a slow stream of smoke that veiled the faint redness in his eyes

Peyton emerged in a blue skirt, her expression a blend of innocence and subtle grievance. Trevor’s eyes flicked to her, his brows creasing at the sight of the blue dress.

Trevor thought to himself, Had I mistaken her for Summer?

His head pounded, his stomach twisted, and his body ached as if stabbed repeatedly, but he forced himself to stay composed.

“Peyton, let’s pretend this never happened. Trevor said.

Her eyes widened, tears brimming instantly. She couldn’t believe his words.

Peyton thought, I thought waking up together would shift our relationship, not end in this rejection. I wasn’t a virgin, but I was still a respectable woman, how could he dismiss me like this?

“Trevor, what did you say? Did I hear you wrong?” Peyton asked.

He leaned forward, elbows on his knees, head in his hands, eyes lowered. “I’m sorry.”

Peyton shook her head, stifling a sob. “I don’t want an apology. I want you! Trevor, I love you, I’ve always loved you. Have you never… loved me at all?”

Trevor stayed silent, the cigarette glowing between his fingers, ash dropping to the floor. His indifference broke her, and tearst spilled down her cheeks. “Then why have you been so kind to me?” Peyton asked.

“I’ll compensate you properly. But you can’t tell anyone about this. Trevor replied.

With that, he stood, walked out, and shut the door behind him.

Peyton felt as though her heart had been pierced by countless arrows.

Peyton thought to herself, Keep this a secret?Compensate? All I wanted was him. Did he love Summer that much?

Wiping her tears, she made a call.

“Proceed as planned. Only when Summer is gone can I have Trevor’s heart.” Peyton said to the person on the phone.

Summer had taken time off to recover emotionally, and with work messages piling up, she decided to return to the office. Before leaving, she passed the living room desk and pulled the 30% stake document for Stewart Group from a drawer. After a quick look, she shoved it into her bag.

At the door, the Stewart family’s housekeeper, Zoey, stood waiting with a thermal bag.

“Ms. Stewart, Mrs. Stewart asked me to bring you some porridge and noodles for breakfast.”

I don’t need it.” Summer replied.
