Griffon suddenly chuckled. It was the first time that Taya had seen such a desperate smile on his face.
She couldn’t help but take a step closer to him, but he said, “Don’t come over.” Without looking back, he said in a hoarse voice, “The villa in front is where he is. Go and find him.”
Taya looked in the direction of the villa and then at the man in the car. In the end, she looked away and turned to walk toward the villa. As Griffon watched the petite figure rushing towards Silas without hesitation, he gradually narrowed his eyes… He curled his hand slightly as if to cover up all the past, never to mention it again, nor to force it.
He loved her so much and was extremely possessive, but he pushed her to someone else. How painful would his heart be? Griffon didn’t reply to Andre. With indifferent eyes, he looked slowly outside the car window at the blue sky and white clouds. The light still existed, but it did not belong to him… Therefore, even if he insisted, that beam of light would not shine upon him and give him a trace of warmth. From the moment he was taught not to fall in love, he was destined to be alone for the rest of his life and would never get love… When Taya reached the door of the villa, she paused for a moment. She wanted to look back, but she gritted her teeth and held them back.
She raised her hand and pressed the doorbell of the villa. Soon, a sweet voice came from inside. “Who is it?” After freezing for a moment, Taya replied, “Alpha Knight asked me to come.” Hearing Alpha Knight’s name, the person inside replied, “Oh, then come in.” Soon, the door opened. Taya walked in. In the villa’s front yard, there were many flowers, fruits, and vegetables, which were full of life. In the distance, a figure was watering the vegetables with a watering can. When she looked up and saw her coming in, she quickly put down the kettle and walked toward her. “Miss, may I ask who you are?” The girl who asked the question looked to be in her twenties. She looked sweet, and her voice was gentle, making people comfortable.
Her sweet smile infected Taya, and she subconsciously replied with a smile, “My name is Taya Palmer.” The girl tilted her head and asked with a smile, “Ms. Palmer, are you here for Mr. Johnson?” Taya nodded slightly and asked in a trembling voice, “Is he… here?” The girl waved at her. “Yes, come with me.” She took Taya into the villa, walked through the spacious and bright living room, and arrived at the back garden. She stood on the steps, pointed at the flowers in the distance, and said to Taya, “He’s over there.” Taya looked in the direction of her finger at the man in the wheelchair… With his back to her, he was surrounded by a dense sea of flowers. The sun shone on him, shining with a faint golden light. In his hand was a book. He lowered his head to read. When Taya saw him again, she felt as if she had traveled back to the past… The young man in her memory also liked to sit in the flower garden and read quietly. He was still the same as before. There was no change. He was still the same gentle and handsome Silas. Taya’s eyes teared up, and she softly called out to the figure’s back, “Silas…” Hearing the familiar voice, the man in the wheelchair stiffened. He slowly turned around and looked at the woman standing on the stairs… Taya was wearing a long red dress, with short hair and a beautiful face. It was a face that he had dreamed of countless times in his memory.
Even though her appearance was not the same as before, her face remained the same as it used to be. He faced the light, crossed the flower sea, and stared at her in a daze but She appeared in this way many times, but every time he ran towards her, she disappeared.
The person in front of him was probably also an illusion. If he couldn’t catch her, he wouldn’t disturb her and let her stay a little longer… “Silas…” The gentle and quiet voice called him again, making him feel very unreal… He reacted when he saw her slowly walking down the stairs, crossing the flowers, and walking up to him. The book in his hand suddenly fell to the ground. He raised his head slightly in disbelief and looked at the person standing in front of him. “You…” He struggled to utter a single word. His voice was deep and hoarse as if he had not spoken for a long time. Taya’s eyes were full of tears as she looked him up and down. He had a handsome face with delicate features and dark and gloomy eyes. Only when her figure was reflected would there be a glimmer of light in his eyes… He was wearing a white shirt and black suit pants. As usual, he looked put together and elegant. However, the legs under the suit pants seemed to be powerless. They hung limply on the wheelchair as if they could no longer support him to stand up. Taya slowly squatted down and raised her hand to touch his leg. “Silas, what’s wrong with your leg?” Silas still looked at her in a daze, his eyes full of disbelief. “Are you… Taya?” Taya raised her head and looked into the man’s eyes. “Silas, I’m your Taya. I’m back…” her clear and powerful voice, his eyes moved slightly and turned red. He finally dared to reach out and touch the face. Only when he touched her warm skin did he dare to believe that she was real. He took a deep breath and tried to suppress his emotions that were on the verge of breaking down, “Why did you just come back?” His voice trembled to the extreme, causing the tears that Taya had been holding back to fall. “I’m sorry, Silas. I’m late.” He shook his head gently, wiped the He still treated her as gently as he did when they were young as if nothing else mattered as long as she was okay. The sadness in Taya’s heart grew so fast, trapping her in the past, and made her throw herself on him and cry bitterly. Silas raised his hand and gently patted her back. Her tears fell silently… The girl he had missed had come back on this sunny and breezy day filled with the fragrance of flowers. He sat here every day with a hopeless faith, waiting for her… Because when he said that he would commit suicide in front of her grave, she answered him. She said, “Silas if I die earlier than you, don’t be in a hurry to do anything stupid. Just find a place full of flowers and sit there and wait for me. No matter how the time changes, one day, I will appear in front of you again.”
He knew that she was just giving him the confidence to live, but he didn’t expect that she would really keep her promise and appear in front of him again.
