Griffon’ words reminded Taya of those absurd scenes again, and her face flushed instantly with embarra*sment. Griffon, as if he didn’t realize it, raised his fingers and touched her hot cheek. “Taya, from the moment we crossed the line, you have disappointed Silas, so why bother sticking to the rules?” After he finished speaking and before Taya could reply, he picked her up and headed straight for the bathroom. After he put her in the bathtub, he said to her, “You look tired. Take a good rest after washing up.” The man took the bath towel handed over by the se rvant, placed it on the bathroom rack, and walked out. Taya stared at the closed door and sighed.
What Griffon said was right. They had done almost everything, and even if she didn’t want to have anything to do with him, what was done was done. When she thought of this, her mood became heavy and depressed, and the tiredness consumed her. She simply stopped thinking about it, took off her dress, filled the bathtub, and stared at the lights above her head in a daze. After Griffon left the bathroom, he walked into the study. Seeing him coming in, Zack quickly got up from the sofa. “Sir, you are back.” Griffon nodded, and after sitting down at the desk, he raised his cold eyes to look at Zack. “How is the matter in Washington?” “The people who should be dealt with have been dealt with, and there will be no threat to the branch.” “One more thing.” “Sir, I await your orders.” Griffon threw the two hotel room cards in front of Zack. “A few habitual offenders on the list stole the things in these two suites last night. Find them.” “Yes.” Zack picked up the room card, turned around and wanted to leave when Griffon’ cold voice came from behind. “Go out from the back garden. Don’t let her see you.” Zack turned his head, nodded, and left in no time. After taking a bath, Taya wrapped herself in a towel and came out of the bathroom. She stepped on the wooden floor, stood at the door, and looked around the luxuriously decorated villa. The fabrics, furniture, and facilities were all top-end, and even the chandelier hanging in the living room was made of crystal. It was just that the villa was too big. There were several floors. Looking up from the first floor, it was extremely empty, and the strangeness that hit her face made Taya feel at a loss.
Holding on to the stairs, she stood blankly. When she was looking around, her body was lifted, and she fell into a warm embrace. Griffon hugged her like a princess and walked to the bedroom on the second floor. Taya nestled in his arms, looking up at him with a flawless She wanted him to put herself down, but she was afraid that he would tease her with what had happened a night ago, so she shut up. After Griffon put her on the soft bed, he glanced at her short, undried hair and turned around to get the hair dryer. Seeing that he wanted to dry her hair, Taya quickly reached out to sna tch the hair dryer from his hand. “I’ll do it myself…” Griffon avoided her hand, turned on the hair dryer, sat behind her, and helped her dry her hair without saying a word. Taya’s eyelashes subconsciously twitched as his fingers brushed her smooth hair. The man behind him was staring at her back, his eyes overflowing with yearning.
This trace of longing gradually amplified with the sound of the hair dryer, making him hug her from behind uncontrollably. He lowered his head slightly, put his chin on her shoulder, and showed his feelings again. “Taya, I’ve missed you for many days. When I think about it, I want to be with you again.” “Can you… can you give me another chance to be with you? Even if it’s just for a few days?” Such warm and humble words came from the side of Taya, making her heart tremble. She turned her head slightly and looked at Griffon, who was holding her tightly from behind. His face was thin and pale, his eyes were scarlet, and the end of his eyes were red. The Griffon she remembered had always been aloof and arrogant. Now, to pursue her, he put down his arrogance. He was like an unreachable star falling from the night sky and becoming dust. However, scatt ered stars on the ground were extraordinary things. How could he change for her? She raised her hand and touched the thick hair on his forehead… Such a gentle touch made Griffon’ body stiff. He looked at the woman, who was within reach, as if he could see the tender determination in her eyes. He subconsciously hugged her a little more. “Taya, please, don’t be so unfeeling to me…” With such a strong force, it seemed like he wanted to rub her into his bones, forcing Taya to swallow her words. She withdrew her hand, lowered her eyelashes, and looked at his scarred right hand. After a long silence, she sighed. “How long is a few days?” Griffon held his breath, and his dull eyes regained the light of hope. His Taya was feeling sorry for him.
After all, she was still the kind and gentle Taya from before. He hugged and exerted a little more force as if he had regained something he had lost. He didn’t dare to let go. “Once you get back your things. Is that okay?” He wanted to say forever, but she had Silas, so it was impossible for her to be with him forever. He knew that it was an absurd, unreasonable, and despicable request when he knew she was mated. However, he would rather be a secret lover to be with her even for a few days. Taya clenched her palms tightly, hesitated for a few seconds, and compromised, “Okay, I promise you.” Griffon hugged her tightly, leaned against her ear, and said gratefully, “Taya, thank you for giving me a chance to start over…” Taya looked up slowly. She looked at the afterglow outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, full of confusion. She didn’t know whether the decision she made this time was right or wrong, and she was both terrified and uneasy… Because in her heavy and depressing memories, Griffon was persistent in getting the things he liked. But after he got it, he treated it indifferently… She had seen his indifferent appearance. He was so cold that one couldn’t get close to him, and those were the most profound memories. She was afraid of this side of Griffon and afraid he would do the same with her… When she was full of helplessness and panic, Griffon turned his head and kissed her cheek lightly. “Taya, don’t be afraid. I won’t hurt you again.” He felt her petite body trembling, and he knew what she was afraid of. He wanted to tell her that he had already made a mistake once and would never make a second mistake. But he knew very well that words were feeble.
Taya lost a heart, experienced several life and death, and her heart is full of holes. Scarred, how could she easily let him into her heart with such weak words? Griffon didn’t give any promises. He picked up the hair dryer and helped her dry her wet hair. When the hair between his fingers was completely dried, he knelt on one knee, bent down, lifted her feet, and took off her shoes.
