Taya stood rooted to the spot and looked at him in disbelief. “He’s…still alive?” Griffon clenched his fists and suppressed the heart-wrenching pain flowing through him. He nodded slightly and said, “He is still alive.” He saw that her dull eyes lit up little by little when she heard the word “alive.” Sure enough, only Silas could make her react. As for him, no matter what he did, she would not take it to heart. A self-deprecating smile appeared on Griffon’s face.
After getting a positive answer from him, the rims of her eyes gradually turned red. “Isn’t he…” It was reported that he committed suicide when Taya died, and Harper also said that he was gone. How could it be… Griffon replied indifferently, “I saved him.” A trace of surprise appeared in Taya’s misty eyes. Griffon had saved Silas? She was shocked, and strange emotions spread throughout her. In the end, she only said, “Thank you.” This “thank you” completely widened their relationship, and Griffon felt it was extremely ear-piercing.
He sneered and questioned Taya, “Who are you to thank me on his behalf? Amon’s mate or his mate?” When Taya heard this, the guilt in her heart did not lessen. Instead, it was infinitely magnified. She lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. She did not reply to him, but her nails dug deep into her palms. Griffon raised his hand and pried open her fingers to prevent her from hurting herself. Then, he said to her, “I’ll take you to see him.” His broad palm enveloped her hand, gradually weaving his fingers through hers until they were interlocked. He held her hand and led her out of the door. Andre and a group of pack guards stopped Amon outside the door. Amon put one hand in his suit pocket. His face was livid as he angrily rebuked Andre, “Just wait. My men will be here soon.” Andre didn’t expect that the fourth son of the Yardley pack would make a phone call and ask someone to come over in front of him. It was a bit difficult to accept. Just as Amon was about to say something harsh, he saw Taya walk out of the room.
He immediately stopped talking and walked toward her. “Rosalie.” Griffon glanced at him coldly, grabbed Taya’s hand, and walked past him. Amon’s face darkened. He stepped forward, grabbed Taya’s hand, and ordered, “The plane is about to take off. Follow me.” Taya looked up at him and said, “Sorry, I can’t go with you. I’m going to… Before she could finish her sentence, Griffon dragged her out of the room. She could only push Amon away and turn to him, “I’ll explain it to you when I get back.” Harper, standing at the VIP hall door, subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief when he saw them leaving the airport. Although she had already planned to settle down in Aronland with Taya, she always felt that after going there, Taya would be treated badly by Amon. She had been feeling uneasy these days, but now that she saw Taya being taken away by Griffon, she felt relieved. Although it might not be a good turn for Taya, at least they didn’t have to live in fear in an unknown country for the rest of their life. Amon was stopped by the pack guards and couldn’t do anything. He could only watch as Griffon took Taya away… He clenched his fists and stared coldly at the two figures who had disappeared at the airport. His eyes darkened inch by inch. “Griffon, your Knight pack is really good at robbing…” After walking out of the airport, Griffon and Taya got into a luxury car. Taya sat in the back seat and wanted to fasten her seat belt. But Griffon took the seat belt and fastened it for her. After doing so, he raised his cold, indifferent eyes to look at Taya. Seeing that she was calm, he sat up straight and ordered Andre, who was following closely behind, to drive. After the car started, Taya turned to look out of the window in silence.
Griffon also turned to look out of the window with a cold face and said nothing. They were sitting in the same row, but there seemed to be a gully between them as if they were strangers. After an unknown period of time, Griffon couldn’t help looking back at her… Taya leaned against the car door, and the window was half-open. A breeze blew in, and her thick short hair swayed. She turned her head and looked out the window, quiet and obedient, just like when she was with him as if she had never changed. Looking at her like this, Griffon’s eyes gradually turned red. He couldn’t help saying, “Stop the car.” Andre immediately slowed down, pulled over, and sensibly exited the car. Taya turned around and asked in confusion, “Aren’t you taking me to see Silas?” Griffon stared at her anxious face and nodded lightly. “I’ll take you there, but…” He paused for a moment, moved closer to her, and said, “Before we go to see him, can we go back to the past?” Taya didn’t understand what he meant and frowned slightly. “What?” Griffon smoothed her eyebrows and affectionately traced her facial features. “Be my woman again before we arrive at the destination.” Taya thought that he wanted her body, so her face suddenly darkened. “Impossible.” With his slender fingers pausing, Griffon asked her in a hoarse voice, “Can’t we just spend some time together on a drive like we used to do before?” Taya’s mind flashed back to the scene after they had slept together before. In the living room, Griffon held her and fed her water and food. When he said going back to the past, it was either to ask for her body or to go back to the past when they got along harmoniously… Taya sighed heavily in her heart. She didn’t want to guess why he made such a request, so she just asked him a question. “If I don’t agree, you won’t take me to see Silas, will you?” Griffon smiled bitterly. “Correct…” Taya’s face darkened. After thinking for a moment, she replied coldly, “Okay, I agree.” Seeing that she was forced to agree, Griffon felt even more bitter. However, this was an opportunity that he’d strived for, so how could he give it up so easily? After Andre returned to the car, Griffon told Taya, “It’s over before the car stops.” Taya didn’t respond.
She suddenly became a little nervous when she saw the privacy divider between the front and back seat being raised. While she was in a daze, Griffon put one arm around her waist and pulled her onto his lap. He had always liked to hug her like this, whether it was when they slept together or during ordinary times. He liked to look up at her so that he could see clearly whether he was in her eyes or not. Taya’s hands were forced to rest on his broad shoulders, and her legs were also forced to rest on his. Although they didn’t do anything, this position was so ambiguous that it reminded her of the painful past. Those scenes made her quickly look away, avoiding eye contact with him…
