Perhaps it was due to what Taya had found out about Stella’s past, she had a sleepless night. She woke up in a daze in the morning…
She checked her phone and saw that Griffon usually would have already video called her by this time, but not today. A sense of unease crept into her heart as she gathered the courage to dial his number. However, he didn’t answer…
Taya put down her phone and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, staring blankly at the rising sun outside.
She and Harper had visited Stella at the hospital, attended a training center cla*s, and completed a design project in the study, all without hearing from Griffon.
She lay on the bed, clutching her phone and staring at the chat box. She waited for an hour, then a whole night, but he still didn’t call…
As dawn approached, she couldn’t resist falling asleep. It was then she had a strange dream…
She couldn’t recall the scene, but she remembered Griffon pa*sing her with a cold face. She chased after him, grabbed his sleeve, and apologized tearfully, “I’m sorry, it wasn’t intentional…”
He stopped walking, didn’t look back at her, pushed her hand away, “I’ve really tried. I’ve even given you my whole life. I don’t have the strength to chase after you anymore. Let’s end it between us.”
She stood there, watching him get into the car and drive away. Suddenly, she broke down, covered her face, and cried on the ground.
After waking up from this dream, Taya pressed on her aching heart and sat against the headboard for a long time to calm herself down.
In Washington, Griffon had just awakened from treatment and was alarmed by the time on the hospital wall clock.
He trembled as he turned on his phone and discovered that Taya had video called him. He quickly got out of bed and hurried out of the hospital after getting into his car.
Once inside the car, he tidied up his messy hair before dialing Taya’s video call. Sitting on the bed, Taya’s anxious heart gradually calmed down when she saw his incoming call.
She clicked the answer button and before she could even speak, she heard Griffon’ anxious voice.
“I’m sorry. I was in a meeting for the whole day and night. That’s why I didn’t call you on time. It’s my fault, I…” Taya interrupted him, “When will you be back?”
Griffon gripped his phone and asked her with uncertainty, “Do your miss me?” This time, Taya didn’t avoid the question. Instead, she responded firmly, “Yes.”
Griffon, who was on the video call, clearly froze for a moment, as if he couldn’t believe she would miss him.
A warm feeling, like a hot spring, slowly flowed from his chest. “I’ll be back today.” Taya nodded gently at the video and asked, “Do you want me to pick you up at the airport?”
Griffon slowly curved his lips and spoke in a low, magnetic voice, “Wait for me at home.”
He took his private jet from Washington to Arcadia and arrived close to midnight.
Taya was about to fall asleep when the doorbell suddenly rang outside the villa…
She put on a thin coat and went out to open the door. Before she ven up, her petite body fell into a strong embrace.
The man lifted her up, pressed her against the villa door, and took her lips in his, twisting and turning to taste her fragrance.
The light cedar scent on him lingered between her nostrils, giving Taya a sense of security in her empty heart…
She took the initiative to hug Griffon’ waist and also took the initiative to tilt her head back and respond to him…
That dream gave her an answer, if Griffon were not around, she would collapse like she did in the dream.
Feeling the change in the woman’s emotions in his arms, Griffon’ restrained desire suddenly burst out Come home with me.”
Without responding to him, Taya just leaned her head against his chest.
The tall and sturdy man picked her up and put her in the car, quickly starting the car and driving towards the estate.
After the car stopped at the entrance of the estate, the man picked her up from the pa*senger seat and quickly walked into the villa.
Frank and the se rvants saw him come back holding someone, to the side without disturbing him…
Griffon held Taya and went straight to the master bedroom on the second floor. Without even turning on the lights, he pressed her against the wall and kissed her wildly.
With his fingers, he pulled off her clothes. Just when he held her slender waist against his abdomen, the man became even crazier about her.
“Wait, wait a minute…” “Hmm?”
The man lifted his blurred eyes, filled with desire, and bloodshot. “Don’t you want to try?” Taya touched his thick hair and blushed, lowering her head. “I… I haven’t taken a shower yet…”
With his distinct joints, he lifted her slender legs and tightly wrapped her around his waist, carrying her into the bathroom. “I’ll help you.”
In the bathroom, Taya was pressed against the bathtub, enduring the waves of pleasure…
She held onto the man’s back and lightly kissed his forehead under the light coming in from the window. “Don’t you let me down again.”
Griffon’ reddish eyes were fixated on her face. “I won’t let you down in this life, not ever.”
He lifted her chin and showered her with countless kisses on her lips, eyebrows, cheeks, and chin…
He kissed every inch of her body as if she were the most precious treasure in the world, gentle and meticulous…
He held her in his arms, and his feelings for her deepened. He whispered in her ear, biting her earlobe with a h oa rse voice, “I love you.”
From infatuation to deep love, may not seem like a long time. But it took all his courage to love and pursue her…
After opening her heart to him once again, Taya felt the utmost love that was fully from him…
That night, they experienced a feeling they had never felt before, a tender feeling that only two people in love could share…
Taya couldn’t hold on any longer and was about to fall asleep. The man kept coaxing her, “Let’s try a few more times, okay?”
She replied with a “no,” pushed him away, and turned over. She hugged his pillow and fell into a deep sleep…
Even if he wanted her again, he couldn’t bear to wake her up. He resisted his desire, propped his head up with one hand, and silently watched the sleeping woman.
Not long after, she suddenly turned over and snuggled into his embrace. Her eyes were filled with a deep and affectionate smile…
“I promised you a lifetime, and for you, I will live well. Unless you want my life, no one can take me away from you! Not even death can lure me away!”
When Taya woke up the next morning, she was tightly held in the man’s arms. Lowering her head, she could see his eight-pack abs.
When her gaze fell further down, her face turned red. She didn’t know what he did to her after she fell asleep…
She gently moved away from him, trying to break free from his embrace, but her waist was held down by his broad palm.
“Sleep a little longer.”
Unable to fall asleep, Taya nestled in his arms. After closing her eyes for a few seconds, she moved her body and reached for the water cup on the bedside table.
“Thirsty?”
She nodded, and Griffon released her, sitting up straight. He stretched out his long arm, picked up the gla*s, and held her waist as he fed her water.
As soon as Taya’s lips moved away from the cup, Griffon lowered his head and captured them. The cold touch sent shivers down her spine.
What followed was a pa*sionate encounter. “Want to try again?”
Taya’s small hand pressed against his toned chest as she declared, “Bring it on.” The two of them continued until two or three o’clock in the
afternoon, with Taya exhausted and unable to get out of bed, while Griffon emerged from the master bedroom full of energy. He had ordered Frank to bring up some food, and personally fed Taya before stepping aside and taking a few pills.
When Taya saw him secretly taking the pills, her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “Is that the medicine for migraines?”
The stunning man turned his head and gave her a rea*suring look. Yes.”
After putting the medicine in the drawer and letting Taya sleep for a while longer, Griffon turned and went to the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of water, Taya forced herself to sit up and pulled open the drawer, taking out the bottle of medicine that he had just taken.
She saw that the packaging on it was indeed for medicine to treat migraines, and when she opened it, she saw white pills and didn’t find any problems with them.
She put down the medicine bottle and was about to close the drawer when she saw a golden copper mask, plant dyes, and brushes that were placed inside. Taya remembered that Griffon had sent countless text messages and WhatsApp messages after her death, in the guise of Greyson
She had deleted all of these messages, but Griffon had them on his personal phone. She suddenly wanted to see what he had sent.
Taya reached out her small hand and picked up the phone lying on the table. She quickly unlocked it by entering her birthday…
Just as she opened the messages, the man wrapped in a towel walked up to her and quickly grabbed her hand.
“Don’t look.”
Besides the deeply ingrained longing, there were bold and explicit words that were better left unread.
Taya looked up at Griffon and saw a hint of blush on his incredibly handsome face.
She couldn’t help but smile and tease him, “Are you shy?” Why didn’t he feel shy when he sent them?
Griffon raised his eyebrows but didn’t reply. He just took his phone back from her. Taya stared at him with reddening ears and stretched her hands in front of him, saying, “Give it to me.”
After a brief laugh, Griffon leaned down and whispered in her ear, “The messages aren’t worth looking at. Let me take you to see something better…”
