Silas, we made an agreement when we were young that we would move in together when we grew up. Since you and Taya are back, you can move to my place.” Harper bought that villa not only because Taya told her in her dream that she would build a house in another world and pick them up afterlife, but also because Harper remembered the promise she made when she was a child.
And after experiencing so many changes and separation, as a family, they should live together and cherish each other. However, when Nora heard Harper’s words, she hurriedly stopped her. “No, Mr. Johnson can’t leave this place. It will be too dangerous for him to do so.” Harper was stunned for a moment, but she understood what Nora meant. Although Jackson was dead, it didn’t mean that Silas would be safe forever. If the Sterling family found out that he was still alive, he might not be able to escape death.
It seemed that they could no longer be together freely like they were when they were young. Harper, Taya, and Silas had gone on different life trajectories because of their growth. Only then did Harper realize that some promises and wishes were hard to achieve. Seeing that Harper was very disappointed, Nora was afraid that she would misunderstand things and thought that Silas’s freedom was being restricted. She quickly explained, “Ms. Duke, Mr. Johnson didn’t lose his freedom completely by staying here. There are people from the Knight pack guarding him in Peace District. He can wear a mask and hat and leave at any time. He can get some air, go shopping, watch movies, etc. in this area, but it is best not to leave this area because Alpha Knight cannot always guarantee his personal safety.” Taya, who had not spoken since they arrived, felt somewhat suffocated when she heard that sentence. She didn’t expect Griffon not only saved Silas, he also sent someone to protect him. He did this not only for her but also to give Silas freedom…
However, Peace District was huge. How much manpower and financial resources would he have to spend to ensure Silas’s safety… These ensuing incidents were uncovered little by little, making Taya’s heart feel heavier and heavier… Harper glanced at Taya after Nora finished speaking. Although she doesn’t show any emotional changes on the surface, Harper knew that she might feel bad in her heart. That night, Taya fell into Harper’s arms and cried in the rain. When she told him how Griffon told her that he loved her, Harper already knew how Taya felt for Griffon. It’s just that she didn’t know that Silas was still alive at that time, so she thought Taya rejected Griffon because she hadn’t moved on from the past. Seeing Silas sitting in a wheelchair now, Harper understood everything… Taya was a wolf who valued love and righteousness. When she knew that the wolf who kicked her was not Silas, she would definitely choose Silas. After all, without Silas working hard to earn money and buying medicines for Taya, it would be difficult for her to grow up safely. However, Griffon…
Although the relationship between the two of them had ended long ago, the things he did for Taya were really touching. Harper didn’t know what to say anymore. She could only look at Silas… His face was pale. It seemed that he had just learned about those things too. He didn’t expect that Griffon had been protecting him for many years. In order to save Silas, Griffon was seriously injured, and in order to protect Silas, Griffon did not hesitate to send so many people to guard him. However, even though Silas was under Griffon’ protection, he still wanted to be selfish and take the woman Griffon loved… Harper saw that Silas’s eyes were full of shame, so she knew what he was thinking. She said quickly, “Silas, when the time comes, I will prepare some gifts to thank Alpha Knight on your behalf. Don’t think too much about the rest…” Silas raised the corners of his lips and smiled bitterly. How could any gift be enough to repay Griffon for saving his life? He looked up with his eyes and looked at Taya who was standing beside him…
He knew very well that what Griffon wanted was just her. However, if what Griffon wanted was nothing more than her, and if Silas chose to let go, what should he do… After Taya suppressed the heaviness in her heart, she said to Silas, “I promised you that I would take care of you for the rest of my life. I won’t change easily, so Silas, don’t think too much…” Harper was a little shocked. She looked at Taya as if she never thought that the latter would make such a promise to Silas… Silas pressed his fingers against his unresponsive legs desperately and he was having a breakdown. He did not know how to face Harper and Taya. He turned to Nora and said, “I’m tired. Please push me back…” Nora felt what she said moments ago had sowed discord between the three but she didn’t know the specific reason. She could only look at Taya and Harper, and after smiling apologetically, she pushed Silas towards the villa… Watching their figures from behind, Harper frowned slightly, but said nothing. She was afraid that if she showed a worried look in front of Taya, it would make things even more difficult for her. Harper glanced at Taya, saw her face turn pale, and quickly took her arm. Harper quickly said, “Taya, accompany me to the church.” The church was a very sacred place. Harper thought Taya could relieve some pressure and pain when she was there… Taya came to her senses, and nodded at Harper. “Okay…” Before meeting Silas, Harper was so depressed that she couldn’t drive but right then, Taya seemed a little distracted so Harper drove. When arrived at the busiest area of the city, Harper stopped the car and said that she had to buy some high-quality fruits for the offertory. The two got out of the car and walked into the shopping mall.
They were just about to go to the first floor where the supermarket was when they saw a group of people in suits and leather shoes walking over. The leading man was tall and slender, wearing an expensive custom-made suit, which made him appear even more approachable. His sharp features and perfect facial proportions added an aura of nobility and elegance. What was even more amazing was that pair of cold eyes. It was without any emotions as if he was uninterested in anything in this world. He was very good-looking, but because of his supercilious eyes and cold aura, people didn’t dare to approach him. Seeing him, Harper glanced at Taya again. Taya was in a daze so she couldn’t help telling her, “Taya, why don’t you go and thank him. After all he has done a lot for Silas…” However, Taya seemed to be nailed in place, unable to move her body.
When Harper saw that Griffon was about to leave through another exit, she was a little anxious, and pulled Taya towards him. Before they could approach Griffon, they saw an extremely good-looking woman at the entrance of the shopping mall, smiling and waving at Griffon. The woman was wearing an haute couture evening gown with waist-length wavy hair, delicate and elegant makeup, and a designer bag. She was tall and slim, and was only half a head shorter than Griffon. She was a perfect match for him. Moreover, she exuded the same noble and elegant aura as he did, and she looked sophisticated. Her beauty was not easily comparable to that of female stars or socialites; it was completely higher than those people. The two stopped at the entrance of the shopping mall. The woman raised her head and talked to the man, and he didn’t seem disgusted at all. He lowered his head slightly and listened attentively. Taya and Harper couldn’t hear them. They only saw the woman holding Griffon’s arm after she finished speaking. Moreover, Griffon didn’t react too much to the woman’s touch. He just led her in the direction of the luxury car…
