Taya took a deep breath. Her face flushed with anger. She shouldn’t have felt sorry and compromised just now! Seeing her angry look, Griffon smirked with a smile in his eyes. He couldn’t help but bow his head and kiss her again. Then he let go of her, saying, “Okay. I’ll stop. Get up for food.” Taya was in no mood to eat. She was woken up by his kiss before she got enough sleep, so she was furious. Seeing that she didn’t want to get up, Griffon didn’t rush her.
He got up and served the porridge and sat down on the sofa beside the bed. After stirring the porridge in the bowl again and again, he took a small spoonful and brought it to her lips. “Open your mouth.” Taya glanced at him, turned sideways, rested her hands on the side of her face, and stared at the porridge. She sulked as she stared at the garden outside the window. Griffon looked at her back, and a hint of tenderness flashed across his eyes. “Taya, if you’re not hungry, I am. Do you want to help me with it?” Hearing this, Taya turned around, staring at him angrily with a pair of clear and bright almond eyes. Griffon propped his elbows on both sides of his knees and fixed his eyes on her. “Taya, I’ve endured it for several years. It’s been hard for me…” Taya didn’t want to hear some outrageous words from him, so she got up wrapped in the quilt and stretched out her hand to him. “Give me the porridge.” Griffon shook his head lightly. “I’ll feed you.” “It’s not that I don’t have the ability to take care of myself.” Griffon didn’t reply.
His indifferent eyes stared at her quietly. After Taya took a deep breath, she parted her red lips, and the man picked up the spoon again. After he finished feeding her, he asked softly, “Do you want more?” Taya shook her head, looked at Griffon, who put down the porridge bowl and picked up a napkin to wipe the corners of her mouth. Her eyelashes trembled slightly. He would never treat her like this before, but now, he seems to have changed a little… After Griffon memorized all the subtle expressions on her face, he quickly understood her thinking, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised. He put down the napkin, raised his fingers, and touched her face. “Taya, the night view near the White House is beautiful, I’ll take you to see it.” Hearing the word White House, Taya was a little moved, but she needed the time to complete her drawings. There was just over a year left, and she had over 50 projects that have not yet been designed. Thinking of this, she raised her eyes to look at Griffon. “May I go find Neil first?” Neil was alone in Washington DC, and he didn’t know anyone. He was probably on the street like a homeless man. Thinking of Neil’s penniless and nowhere to go situation, Taya felt very sorry. The tenderness in Griffon’ eyes was gradually stained with jealousy, “Why do you want to see him?” Taya glanced at him and explained, “The NASA’s expansion project and the surveyed data are with him.
I need the data to draw.” Griffon calmed down, sat up straight, and said to her, “Don’t worry. Leave everything to me.” There was an inexplicable sense of security in his words, as if he would resolve any difficulty she had. He got up, went to the door, and called a ser vant. After a few orders, he came back, and when he sat down again, he had two extra cards in his hand. “I’ve sent someone to arrange accommodation for Neil, and the things you left behind at the hotel will be delivered right away.” After he finished speaking, he handed the two bank cards between his fingers to Taya. “One is an unlimited credit card, and the other is all the liquid funds under my name.” “You can use it however you want, and you don’t have to worry about running out of money.” Taya looked at him. She did not reply, nor did she take the cards.
The man grabbed her hand, put the cards in her palm, and said to her, “Don’t think too much. I’m just afraid that you won’t feel safe in a foreign country.” Taya lowered her eyelashes, looked at the cards in her palm. After a few seconds of silence, she raised her eyes and looked at Griffon. “We’ll only be together for a short time, so you don’t have to…” Griffon interrupted her, “Taya, remember, no matter how short it is, you are still my woman. I won’t make you feel uneasy.” Taya parted her red lips and wanted to say something, but Griffon lifted the quilt and picked her up from the bed. He hugged her, bowed his head, and said to her, “I haven’t dated you. Let’s not waste time on this and do something meaningful.” Taya was nestled in his arms. She looked into his eyes, which harbored unconcealed affection, then nodded obediently. Her gentle and peaceful appearance made it feel like they had gone back to the past. The faint smile in the depths of Griffon’ eyes became more and more charming. With Taya in his arms, he went into the walk-in closet. After placing her on the sofa, he pressed the invisible, automatic switch on the wall. Several high-end wardrobes quickly opened up, and rows of high-end dresses with similar styles were on display in front of Taya. When she saw that, she was a little surprised. It was the same style that she used to dress up in, and Griffon still remembered… “After you came home with me, I asked the ser vants to prepare it in advance,” he explained.
He picked out a waist-pinching, A-line long skirt. Griffon handed it to her and jutted his chin towards the fitting room, signaling for her to change first. Taya reached out to take it. Hesitantly, she looked at Griffon, wanting to ask if there was any underwear, but was too embarra*sed. When she was about to go commando, Griffon’ bony hand suddenly grabbed a piece of underwear from the closet and handed it to her. “Your size hasn’t changed much. It’s still the same as before, so this should fit you well,” he stated. Taya glanced at the pink underwear that barely covered anything, and then at Griffon, whose expression never changed. Pretending to be nonchalant, she reached out to take the underwear, then turned around and quickly walked into the fitting room.
She took off the bathrobe on her body and put on the long skirt. The mirror quickly reflected her slim figure, but the clothes were very conservative. The long sleeves covered her arms, and the hem of the skirt covered her ankles. Aside from her neck, which was exposed, everything else was tightly covered. She didn’t pay it much mind. After getting changed, Griffon took her pale, delicate hand and led her into the extended Lincoln. Taya sat in the back seat, looking out the window at the buildings surrounded by bright lights. Meanwhile, Griffon propped his head up on one hand and looked at her from the side. The distance between them no longer felt like they were separated by an insurmountable gap. This time, they were extremely close. He put his arms around her waist, pressing her back against his chest. He felt the residual warmth of her body through his fingertips, and smelled her faint, familiar fragrance. His heart, which had been aching for years, was gradually soothed by her temporary warmth. The car soon came to a stop. The man looked out the window, then glanced away and kissed her hair affectionately. “Taya, we’re here.” Taya was lying in Griffon’ arms. When she saw that they had arrived, she quickly got up. Griffon got out of the car first, opened the door for her, and helped her out in a gentlemanly manner. Standing in front of the car door, Taya looked around at the night view of Washington. In front of her was the majestic White House, the domed Capitol Building, the Supreme Court building, the Washington Monument Square, and the Eisenhower Executive Office Building not far away.
Under the warm yellow light, those neocla*sical style buildings, which were mainly made of white sandstone, stood tall, luxurious, and majestic. While Taya was observing the beautiful scenery, a hand grabbed her own small one. He put his palm over hers and led her to the hotel building. They walked in front, followed by a group of about twenty bodyguards. Pa*sers-by stopped to watch them. Griffon was noble and abstinent, while Taya looked elegant and majestic. They looked like a match made in heaven. Under the envious eyes of the crowd, Taya lowered her head and looked at the hand intertwined with hers. Her once extravagant wish was that he would shamelessly hold her hand in public. The what ke Unexpectedly few years for dream come true rigga kam hold her hand in public like what he was doing right then. Unexpectedly, few years later, Griffon would make her elusive dream come true…
