The relationship between the cousins was not actually complicated. Griffon’ father had 4 siblings, and they had eight pups in total. Griffon’ father was the eldest, and he had two pups, Griffon and his older brother, Simon. Rebecca is Griffon’ cousin well as the eldest daughter of the Knight pack. Rebecca and Simon were born in the same year.
Christopher and Sebastian were the sons of Griffon’ third uncle while William and Liam and fourth brothers were Griffon’ fourth uncle’s sons. Preston and Edith were born to Griffon’ youngest uncle… The grandchildren in the Knight pack were mostly male, and there weren’t many female descendants. Thus, the youngest descendant, who was also a female, Edith became the treasure of the Knight pack.
Everyone was invested in her marital situation, fearing that she would not mate a good man, so they began to pick out suitable mating partners for her almost four years ago. At first, the Sterling pack was chosen, but Jackson rejected it, so they gave up. Now that Edith had returned from studying abroad, they had to start looking again. After the luxury car started, more than a dozen luxury cars followed suit. The car soon arrived at Edith’s neighborhood. After getting out of the car, Rebecca went up to pick Edith up with graceful steps. Seeing that Rebecca had left, Preston quickly asked, “Griffon, why did you suddenly get out of the car and rush into the shopping mall just now?” Griffon’s action scared all the bodyguards and they quickly chased after him. Seeing so many bodyguards, Preston was not worried, but he didn’t know what happened to Griffon for behaving like that. Griffon didn’t reply to Preston’s words, but a trace of fear appeared in his eyes. Back at the shopping mall, he saw a figure which resembled Taya, so he couldn’t help but take a few extra glances. Coincidentally, he saw Tara following that figure into the shopping mall so he asked the driver to stop and rushed over, only to find that it wasn’t Taya.
At that moment, he, who was covered in a cold sweat, suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but he still couldn’t move on because of the trauma from the past… For the past years, he had repeatedly dreamed of the mall, the bathroom, and Taya lying on the ground with a face full of despair. The expression on her face… At the thought of it, an overwhelming sense of guilt hit Griffon like a violent storm, making his face turn pale with pain. Preston saw that Griffon seemed to be stuck in the matter of the past and couldn’t extricate himself, so he didn’t dare to ask any more questions. He only patted Griffon on the shoulder to comfort him.
Harper and Taya went to the supermarket on the first floor and bought a lot of fruit. When they left the shopping mall, they happened to meet Tara who was carrying several shopping bags. When Tara saw Taya, she reacted as if she had seen a ghost, and she stood there in fright, her face turning pale. Taya didn’t respond at all. She just glanced at her lightly, then pulled Harper away. Harper was still furious after leaving the mall, she said, “You should have rushed over and slapped her twice!” After putting the fruits into the car, Taya looked at the man who was following Tara. “She always has bodyguards with her. I can’t hit her…” Harper glanced over, and when she saw several bodyguards following Tara, her face sank, “The Thorin pack has been bought over by the Knight pack yet she still lives like a rich young lady. Well even though things had gone south for her, she’s still living life better than ordinary people like us.” After Harper finished speaking, she looked at Taya again, and said sadly, “Taya, when will I become a rich person?!” Taya opened the car door with a smile and said to Harper, “Let’s go. We’ll go to the church and ask God about it.”” Harper was amused by her. “Okay, I’ll go and make a wish. Maybe it will come true.” Talking and laughing, the two got into the car and drove to the church where Harper often went. As soon as they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they heard deep and distant bells, as well as the sound of music and prayers. Those voices sounded refreshing and calm, and their hearts felt lighter. Carrying the fruits, Taya followed Harper, step by step, and walked into the church very piously.
When she saw the statues and paintings, tears welled up in her eyes. It seemed that there had been too much pain accumulated in her heart, and she had nowhere to vent, so she could only find a moment of peace there… After they entered, one of the priests led them to a pew to pray and light candles, and Harper piously made her offerings… After Taya was done, the priest glanced at her signature, and said kindly to her, “Young lady, you owe too much debt and you need to pay it off, or you will have no peace in this life..” Taya felt as if she had been seen through by the priest. She stood there in a daze, her face turning pale. The priest brought her three ribbons, and asked her to write her wishes on them and hang them on the tree. Taya slowly came to her senses, took the pen handed to her, and wrote down her wishes on the ribbons: First wish, Harper’s safety. Second wish, Silas’s health. Third wish… At this point, Taya held the pen and her fingers froze. Images of Griffon flashed in her mind. The priest saw her hesitation. He looked at her kindly and said, “Write whoever comes to mind. Don’t worry about it.” Hearing that, Taya began writing. Third wish: Griffon is happy. She wished him happiness, and she also wished that he could find a partner whom he could spend the rest of his life with. After Taya finished writing her wishes, she thanked the priest, said kindly to her, “Young lady, you owe too much debt and you need to pay it off, or you will have no peace in this life…” Taya felt as if she had been seen through by the priest. She stood there in a daze, her face turning pale. The priest brought her three ribbons, and asked her to write her wishes on them and hang them on the tree. Taya slowly came to her senses, took the pen handed to her, and wrote down her wishes on the ribbons: First wish, Harper’s safety. Second wish, Silas’s health. Third wish… At this point, Taya held the pen and her fingers froze. Images of Griffon flashed in her mind. The priest saw her hesitation.

She wished him happiness, and she also wished that he could find a partner whom he could spend the rest of his life with. After Taya finished writing her wishes, she thanked the priest, turned around and walked out of the church. She found a tree that wasn’t very tall, and hung all three wishing ribbons on it. Seeing the red ribbons fluttering in the wind, Taya’s heart was completely relieved. After finding out that what he did was unavoidable and learning all the things that he had done for her, she felt burdened. However, when he saw him with other women, the feeling slowly dissipated. From now on, he had his new life, and she also had her mission to complete… Just like the priest said, she had too many debts that she needed to pay off… She had been raised by Silas in the first half of her life and he took care of her when she was growing up. Now, it’s her turn to repay the debt.
Moreover, she would also find a way to pay off all the things Griffon had done for her. After Taya sorted out her thoughts, she gradually let go of the heavy burden in her heart… After she was done praying, Harper wrote a few wishes on the wishing ribbons. She found a very tall tree, climbed a ladder and hung it up. She firmly believed that the higher you hung the ribbons, the faster your wishes would come true. After the two were done, they bid farewell to the priest and turned to leave the church. Harper planned to drive home directly, but Taya asked, “Harper, can you take me to the cemetery?” As soon as she returned to the country, she had been busy looking for Harper and Silas, and dealing with Griffon and Amon. She had not had the time to visit the cemetery. Now that those matters are all dealt with, it was time to go and visit her sister’s grave in the cemetery… Harper nodded quickly. “I will take you there.” Soon, they arrived at the cemetery. Before going in, Taya glanced at the scenic mountain scenery opposite. She remembered that that was the place Silas took her to… At that time, he promised to bring her there next time, but before he could do so, he was met with an accident. Taya didn’t expect that after her death, he would bury her there in order to fulfill this promise… Silas did everything he promised her… The corners of Taya’s mouth twitched.
She turned around and bought a bouquet of white roses, then followed Harper into the cemetery. Her grave was much larger than the others and it was surrounded by trees, flowers, and sunshine… There was a photo of her on the tombstone, and the photo was very clean, as if someone had been there to wipe it. She bent down, put down the flowers in her hand, and raised her hand to touch the tombstone… With her name, she was buried there for three years. Taya thought that her sister must be very lonely…
