However, Griffon grabbed her chin with one hand and forced her to look into his eyes, his wolf flashing in them.
The man in front of her was as noble and handsome as before. There was no change in his handsome face.
There was an added layer of dark circles under his deep-set eyes, but it did not diminish his appearance at all.
His hair was combed meticulously, which highlighted his noble and reserved temperament. Two buttons unbuttoned the white shirt under his suit. At this time, his collar line was slightly open, revealing part of his chest. Further down were his firm and sturdy chest and strong thighs. This was the first time after Taya’s return that she carefully scrutinized him,
feeling that he had changed yet seemed unchanged. When Griffon saw the reflection of himself in her eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. It was only at this time that he appeared in her eyes. He lift a hand, touched her short hair, and said, “I remember that you used to like to keep long hair. Taya’s eyelashes trembled slightly. She used to like keeping her hair long because he liked it that way, so she never cut it. Now, being forced by Amon to cut her hair short symbolized cutting off the past, and it was impossible for her to keep her hair long for him again in the future.
Griffon followed her hair all the way down to her heart. When he touched the heart, he seemed to think of something, and his expression was filled with guilt. He asked her tremblingly, “Does it still hurt here?” Taya shook her head gently. “No.” Feeling guilty, Griffon didn’t dare to touch her heart again. After letting go of her, he pulled her into his arms with one hand and hugged her tightly. After a long silence, he said slowly, “How been since you’ve been… have you gone?” Taya leaned on his shoulder and replied emotionlessly, “I’m fine.” These three simple words made Griffon understand that she didn’t want to tell him anything about her. He stopped asking. Instead, he stroked her back and asked softly, “Do you want some water?”
Taya shook her head and looked out the window as if wondering why they hadn’t arrived yet. Griffon’s face darkened. He grabbed her chin and looked at her. “If you promise me, you’ll do it. I’m the only one in your eyes.”
Taya froze for a moment and replied She wrapped her arms around his neck, lowered her head, and looked straight into his eyes. She focused only on him in her eyes while the pain in Griffon’s heart continued to magnify without limit. He took a deep breath and called her helplessly, “Taya…” Hearing him call her that, Taya suddenly thought of Tara. She suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. he frowned and asked coldly, “You should be mated, right?” He was mated, but he kept pestering her. Where did Taya belong this situation? In the past, she had only wanted to avoid him and had never thought of Tara. Now that she thought about it, she suddenly felt disgusted.
Seeing the disgust in her eyes, Griffon knew what she was thinking. He quickly explained, “No, I didn’t mate her.” Taya said she would never be someone’s mistress, so how could he do something that would disappoint her? Griffon hugged her tightly and couldn’t help saying, “If you hadn’t come back, I wouldn’t have mated anyone. Ever.” Hearing this, Taya was stunned, and the disgust in her eyes was gradually replaced by surprise. It seemed that she didn’t expect him to have such a plan.
She was surprised in her heart, but she didn’t speak up or ask him why he didn’t mate Tara in the end. Griffon raised his hand and caressed her cheek. “You’ve always been the one I want to mate.”
His voice was low, but it was filled v suppressed affection, which made Tay heart tremble, but she quickly dismissed it as disbelief.
Griffon opened his lips and was about to say something when Andre’s voice came from the front. “Alpha Knight, we’ve arrived.”
Griffon raised his head slightly and looked at Taya. He was reluctant to part with her and hugged her tightly again. However, Taya looked at him indifferently, as if she was blaming him for going back on his word. Griffon smiled bitterly and said, “It’s over.” Taya glanced at him, then let go of his neck and got off his lap. After getting out of the car, Griffon called out to her again, “Taya.” Taya turned around and looked at the noble and cold man sitting in the car. It was dark in the car, so she couldn’t see his face clearly.
She only felt that he was shrouded in darkness, making him unable to extricate himself from the, He tilted his head slightly and stared at her with crimson eyes, “Do you not believe that I love you because I used to be too indifferent to you?” Hearing his question, Taya didn’t try to avoid it anymore and nodded at him. Griffon’s thick eyelashes drooped, and he seemed to chuckle and mock himself. Looking at him, Taya was confused. “What are you laughing at?” Griffon curled his lips and said bitterly, “In those five years, you called out to Silas 152 times in your sleep.” He raised his head and said to Taya with his wolf shining eyes and growled lowly, “Every time you call him, I want to stay away from you, but I can’t let you go.” Taya was stunned. She didn’t seem to have expected that she had called out Silas so many times in her sleep. Ever since she started being with Griffon, she had often dreamed of Silas. But they were all nightmares about him cruelly stomping on her heart and breaking her fingers. There were also dreams where she was lying in a pool of blood, calling out to Silas pleadingly, “Silas, please, save me.” At that time, what she felt was not only the pain of death but also the despair of her sweetheart, who would never look back. It was precisely because of this that she developed a serious psychological trauma, which caused her to be plagued by nightmares countless nights and days.
However, She didn’t expect to call out Silas’s name in her sleep and be heard by Griffon… Actually, she didn’t call out his name because she couldn’t let go of him at that time, but because she was afraid of that memory. But all of this was no longer important… Because Griffon had also hurt her in the same way, making her go through a near-death experience.
However, she shouldn’t have called out another man’s name when she was with him.
Taya said apologetically to Griffon, “I’m sorry…” Hearing this apology, Griffon suddenly sneered. “Do you think what I want is your apology?” Taya knew what he wanted, but… She looked at him and said calmly, “We can’t go back. Silas committed suicide for me. I can’t let him down anymore.” Griffon explained to her why he had been so cold to her back then, which made her let go of the misunderstanding that had been buried in her heart for many years. But now, what stood between them was no longer a matter of love or not but her overwhelming sense of guilt that forbade her to turn back.
