Just as Preston was about to tell Griffon about it, the man suddenly called out to Harper, “Ms. Duke, wait a minute.”
Harper stopped and turned around to look at Griffon, “What’s the matter, Alpha Knight?”
Griffon gestured outwards, “Can I have a word with you?”
Harper nodded and walked outside. The two talked briefly before she left.
Before Griffon entered the building, Preston turned to Taya and asked, “Do you have anything that you like?”
Puzzled for a moment, Taya asked, “Why?”
Preston pointed at Harper outside the floor-to-ceiling window, “Help me ask her who she is going on the blind date with. I’ll buy you anything you want.”
Standing in front of the dining table, Taya looked up at Preston, “Are you serious about Harper?”
The question bewildered Preston, “What are you talking about?”
Seeing him like this, Taya knew that Preston hadn’t yet sorted out his feelings for Harper, and she sighed. “If you’re serious about her, Preston, try to win her heart properly and give her a future. But if you’re not, then let her go on the blind date, okay?”
Irritated by the phrase “blind date”, Preston grew impatient, “It’s fine if you don’t want to help…”
As he turned to leave, Taya stared after him, “It’s not that I don’t want to help you, but I know Harper has always wanted a home deep down. She worked hard for her first mating, but it failed miserably. I don’t want her second mating to fail, so I wish you could understand…!”
All she wanted was Preston being serious about Harper. Otherwise, she would never help him.
Standing where he was, Preston seemed to understand what she was trying to say, and his handsome face was tinged with distress.
“Giving Harper a future and home means getting mated, but can I do it? Will I stop fooling around once I’m mated?”
Preston asked himself several times but had no answer. He could only knit his brow and walk away without saying a word.
con listened carefully to what they said and did not say
much seeing Preston’s troubled look. He walked over to Taya and slightly bent forward, showing the sno wflakes on his hair, “Help me.”
Taya helped him brush off the snow flakes last night because she worried that he would catch a cold, and she never expected him to be wanting her to do it again.
It made Taya wonder if this man, who was six feet and three inches tall, was seizing the opportunity to be pampered by her.
Wondering so, Taya stood on her toes and stretched out her hands to help him pat off the melting snowfla kes.
When her delicate hands brushed his hair, he felt relaxed and cozy as if a kitten was tickling his heart.
Raising his thick eyelashes, he gazed at the fair and thin face, then pulled her into an embrace.
Just as he kissed her tenderly, he held her waist tightly and said earnestly, “I should get a doctor to help you recuperate.”
Having not seen her for six months, the man could not hold his
urge back anymore after sk ipping S** for one night.
But for the sake of Taya’s health, he did not dare to make love
to her. Even though they were roused by the kissing, he gritted his teeth and stopped himself…l
Letting go of Taya, Griffon touched her blushing face, “I’m going out this afternoon.”
Hearing that he was going out, Taya tensed up, “Where are you going?”
He lowered his gaze and kissed her forehead, “My office. Don’t worry, okay?”
When Taya heard that he was going to his office, she nodded in relief. Holding her hand, Griffon led her to sit down at the dining table.
After feeding her a lot of nourishing soup and supplements, he took out his mobile phone and called Andre, asking him to bring someone over to protect Taya at all times.
Taking care of Stella in the hospital, Andre received the call and quickly handed the bowl of cereal he was holding to the nurse, then got up and went to the manor.
With Andre and a group of bodyguards around, Griffon left the place and went to the site where he was going to make the mating proposal.
been scolded for trying to meddle with Harper’s blind
date, Preston was upset.
However, no matter how irritated he was, he still had to do a
good job as it was entrusted by Griffon.
Seeing his plan being realized so quickly with the help of money, Preston could not help but shake his head.
“How ironic! I’m getting rejected when my brother is about to propose to the woman he loves.”
Griffon got out of his car and headed straight to the site with a group of bodyguards.
The man who had always pursued perfection looked coldly around.
In a bad mood, Preston walked over to his brother and asked unhappily, “How is it? Not bad, huh?”
Griffon threw him a cold glance, “It’s nicely decorated, but your face is not festive enough.”
Preston was nonplussed.
“How could he ask a jilted man to be cheerful?” he snapped
inwardly.
Already upset, Preston was about to swear at Griffon when the man stumped him:
“Don’t show up when I propose to her. You’ll spoil my mood.”
Preston was infuriated.
“Does he think I want to f*cking show up here?” He screamed inwardly.
Preston was so angry that he turned and stalked off.
Not bothering about him at all, Griffon paid all his attention to the mating proposal site.
The more he looked at it, the more he felt that something was missing, so he made a call, and a group of programmers immediately came.
On the day Stella was supposed to be discharged, Harper came to pick Taya up on time. However, as the woman wanted to leave wearing an overcoat, she quickly stopped her.
“Well… Stella will be throwing a party to celebrate her recovery, so we won’t be going to the hospital, but to the venue instead. So, you’ll be underdressed wearing like this…”
She then took out a tailor-made evening gown from a high-end paper bag and handed it to Taya, “Put this on. This
will suit you.”
As she unfolded the gown, Taya was surprised because she could tell it was expensive, “Did you buy it?”
Harper swallowed guiltily but said in a casual manner, “Yeah, I bought it for you a long time ago. Try it on, okay?”
Seemingly thinking of something, Taya smiled and instead of resisting, she went back to her room and changed into the evening gown that fitted her perfectly.
Looking at herself in the mirror and seeing the well-fitting silver-white gown, she couldn’t help smiling as if her heart was overflowing with honey.
“The other day, Griffon wanted to have a word with Harper, and he must have asked for her help with this. He’s… so thoughtful!”
Harper was relieved that she didn’t have to persuade Taya to put on the gown. She found another excuse to put light yet elegant makeup on her and took a hair curler to give the woman a nice new look…
After she was done, Harper picked up the beige overcoat and wrapped it around Taya, “Come, let’s go…”
