Rebecca had shown up just to meet Taya. Having met her, she thus spun around and left.
Looking at her graceful and composed back, Taya, who was so nervous that her heart leapt to her throat, gradually relaxed…
She thought that the members of the Knight pack would despise her, look down on her, and even speak ill of her, just like Shelly.
Unexpectedly, Griffon’ eldest sister was so gentle and elegant, without any arrogance whatsoever.
Even if she did, it was only because of the way she had been raised in a rich pack, as well as the way she viewed the world,
which was saturated by the knowledge she had obtained.
Griffon lowered his head and asked, “When will you come back to the Knight pack’s house with me for the family dinner?”
Taya raised her clear eyes to stare at his flawless face and thought to herself, “In the future.”
At that moment, she had yet to reach a position where she could be a proper match for him and attend the Knight pack’s banquet.
He didn’t get a response from her, but she reached out and took the paper bag in his hand, indicating that she agre
Griffon put his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him, and lifted her chin.
“I’ll wait for you.” Taya, who was nestled in his arms, smiled faintly.
“Shall we go?”
He witnessed her subtle smile, which was sultry like a rose. It was as if the clouds and mist in his eyes had dispersed, leaving only the moonlight.
“I like your smile, Taya,” he confessed.
His thin lips curved slightly and his voice was full of joy.
He loosened his grip on her waist, interlocked their fingers, and led her away from the shopping mall.
Taya thought that the trip would be over once they were done shopping, but he took her to the beach after that.
It was impossible to tell where the sea ended and the sky began.
The clouds were reflected on the sea surface, emitting a clear blue light, which was endless as far as the eye could see.
The sea breeze was blowing, lifting the hair on one’s temples, causing it to sway with the wind. There were seagulis in the distance that stopped on the beach, coming and going as they pleased.
A man with a tall figure was holding hands with a slender woman as they walked quietly on the beach…
The sun shone on the two of them, drawing long shadows that overlapped and separated behind them.
Griffon lowered his eyes and glanced at Taya, who was looking down and kicking at the fine gravel. The smile on his lips gradually grew bigger.
He took out his phone, opened up the camera, and took a photo of their interlocked hands under the golden light.
Taya looked up just in time to see Griffon taking the picture, her expression slightly awkward.
“Are you… taking pictures of the scenery?”
Griffon put down his phone and stared closely at the woman in front of him through his sungla*ses.
“To me, the most beautiful scenery is you.”
Taya was stunned for a moment, as if she didn’t expect that Griffon would use his phone to take pictures of her.
In the past, she had wanted to keep some memories and summoned up the courage to ask him to take a picture of her,
but…He had refused.
Right then, he took the initiative to take pictures of her, which gave Taya indescribable feelings.
Griffon was making up for the love she didn’t get and the things she wanted in the past…
Taya raised her chin slightly, facing the glare of the sun, and looked at the man who had his back facing the sun.
“Thank you, Griffon…”
She was thanking him for healing her old scars, and for making up for past regrets.
Griffon’ drooping eyelashes trembled slightly, but he didn’t say much.
He squeezed the phone tightly and asked, “Let’s take a photo together, okay?”
They had known each other for few years. It was a pity that they had not one picture together.
Upon hearing Griffon’ words, Taya didn’t refuse. Instead, she nodded, “Okay…”
Seeing that she agreed, a faint smile appeared on Griffon’ lips. He opened the camera app once again, extended his long arm, and held Taya’s waist.
Before pressing the shutter button, Griffon pinched Taya. Feeling the pain, Taya instinctively raised her head and looked at the man beside her. She parted her lips and wanted to say something but before she could utter a word, Griffon lowered his head and kissed her.
At the same time, his fingers with distinct knuckles pressed the shutter button…
Taya thought that he only wanted to take a photo together, but she didn’t expect it to be this kind of photo.
After Griffon put away his phone, Taya quickly tiptoed to take a look at the screen…
When she saw the image of her tilting her head back and Griffon kissing her sweetly under the blue sky, her cheeks turned red.
“Quickly delete it and take another one…” Taya ordered Griffon.
Griffon grabbed her fingers that were about to hit the delete button, and quickly put away his phone.
“I’ll take you to dinner now.” Griffon held her hand tightly and led her to the lounge area, while Taya stared at the pocket of his suit.
She thought that she would sneak on his phone if he happened to take off his coat later during dinner. However, what was the
pa*sword to his phone? Taya wondered.
“My pa*sword is your birthday.” Griffon seemed to know whatever Taya was thinking and answered without hesitation before putting his phone into his trouser pocket.
Taya’s gaze fell on the phone close to the root of his thigh, and she immediately abandoned her plan to “delete the photo secretly”.
Griffon took Taya onto a four-story private yacht that was white on the outside, sp acious and luxurious. The inside was simple and clean.
When the staff on the yacht saw the two of them approaching, they quickly led them to the top floor restaurant…
A luxurious and sumptuous Western-style lunch was placed on an exquisite dining table, with the magnificent sea view outside
the floor-to-ceiling windows. As they sat down to eat, the ship slowly started, and the silver-white waves it stirred up swept over the sides of the ship, creating endless ripples.
She ate with her head down, watched her quietly. Although they didn’t speak, the atmosphere was calm and beautiful.
After finishing their meal, they went down to the first floor where the crew had already set up two sp ac ious and comfortable white loungers on the deck.
Griffon helped Taya lay down and brought a thin blanket to cover her stomach, gently brushing her hair with his fingers. “Let’s take a nap,” he said.
Taya had woken up early and had been walking on the street and along the beach for a long time. She was a little tired, so she lay
down on the lounge and fell asleep deeply.
When Griffon saw her shallow breathing gradually become steady, he gently lifted her up and let her lay on top of him. He put
one hand around her waist and took off his sungla*ses with the other. His eyes were bloodshot, showing how exhausted he was.
The crew member next to him was startled and wanted to ask him what was wrong, but he raised his hand to stop them. Griffon rubbed his reddened eyes and put his sungla*ses back on.
The headache that had been suppressed by painkillers started to appear again after the medication had worn off. Griffon endured
the pain, tightening his fingers and holding the woman in his arms, one bit by bit.
Taya woke up and found herself laying in his arms. She stiffened and saw that he seemed to be asleep, so she quietly got off him.
She sat next to him and stared at his handsome face for a while before picking up the blanket and gently covering him with it.
She stood up and walked to the railing, facing the sea breeze and looking at the distant ocean. The frustration in her heart slowly
dissipated.
After showing her the best scenery, and the best of each other, Griffon sent her back to the villa.
