The Captain I Married by Chance novel Chapter 166

Before leaving, Nora gave Mr. Peyton Sr. a call.

"Nora?"

"Is there any progress on your mother's case?"

Nora was surprised the old man was still thinking about her mother. A warmth spread through her, and her tone softened. "She's with my father. Her life isn't in danger for now. He doesn't do anything unless there's something in it for him, so he won't let her go easily."

"That damn scumbag."

The old man couldn't help but complain. "He gives men a bad name!"

Nora felt no guilt about selling out her own father.

If she weren't in a hurry for something else, she would have joined the old man in cursing him out.

"I'm calling about something else today."

"Mr. Peyton, did my fiancé go to the police station?"

"You found out?"

Mr. Peyton Sr. was utterly shocked.

His grandson had been exposed already?

Good grief, he thought that since they hadn't met last time, this whole thing wouldn't be revealed until right before the wedding.

Although the old man had no idea what on earth his grandson was up to, it seemed his grandson's goal was aligned with his own.

So why should he worry? He might as well use the time to plan the wedding.

This was the wedding of his precious grandson and his hand-picked daughter-in-law. He was going to make it so grand the whole world would know about it!

Nora's heart skipped a beat when she heard the old man's answer.

"So he really went?"

"He did," Mr. Peyton Sr. said with a hint of resignation. "That boy never discusses his plans with me. By the time I found out, it was already a done deal."

"Nora, don't blame him. He's incredibly stubborn. Once he’s made up his mind, nothing on earth can sway him."

Who would have thought the old man would get so worked up?

Perhaps at his status, familial affection had become so rare that even these small gestures felt precious.

Nora quickly pushed the matter to the back of her mind.

The most pressing issue was to get to the station and stop her supposed fiancé from causing any more trouble.

Even though everyone knew she and Aaron had broken up, and having a fiancé wasn't a big deal, she was a low-key person. If this man made a big, public scene, she'd become a spectacle at the station.

Since it was close, Nora grabbed a rental bike and rode it all the way to the police station.

As soon as she arrived, she saw the ostentatious Cullinan in the parking lot.

Nora furrowed her brow. This Mr. Peyton seemed to be a very flamboyant person who loved luxury.

That complicated things.

She was low-key, and he was flashy. It felt like they wouldn't get along after marriage. Could this marriage even happen?
