Taya asked for the reason, but Neil only sent over a garbled message.
Now Taya was convinced that he had been caught by those workers.
Mimicking his tone, she replied, “My deepest condolences.”
She then read through the previous chat records, and was impressed to learn that Neil had travelled to different construction sites in eight countries in a month.
In order for her to earn one billion for the redevelopment of the Knight pack headquarters wholeheartedly, Neil changed his old lazy ways, and became a hardworking and motivated sunny wolf.
Neil was very meticulous in his work. He had created a PPT for each project, which included project introduction, site pictures, videos, measurement data, the style required by the project owner, and all of these were listed in detail.
All Taya had to do was to sketch from the PPT, and for the rest, Neil and Sumasa Construction Co., LTD would arrange for her.
She thought for a moment and made a schedule for these projects based on their importance and urgency. After allocating them, she decided to start by designing the mating house.
She had to complete it before the mating ceremony, so she could arrange the renovation in advance.
Taya decided to postpone her French lessons until after her mating ceremony, as she was under a tight deadline for completing her design work.
After she had a specific plan in her mind for the next tasks,
she sent a message to George asking about Grace’s situation.
George quickly replied with a voice message, and Taya listened to it, she surprisingly heard Grace’s voice.
“Auntie, we have returned to Aronland. Strange Uncle is so annoying, he wants to send me back to my dad’s house. Although I also miss my dad, I can’t bear to leave Strange Uncle. Auntie, please help me think of a way. How can I keep staying here?”
A warm current flowed through Taya’s heart at the sound of the soft voice message, making her feel warm inside.
She held the phone, pressed the voice button and answered softly: “Grace, my suggestion is, listen to Strange Uncle, go back to your dad’s house, be a good girl and go to school, do you think that’s okay?”
Grace sent another voice message to Taya: “No, no, I don’t want to go to school or leave Strange Uncle. Auntie, you’re a bad person. I’m not going to talk to you!”
Taya couldn’t help but chuckle at the message. She was about to say something to persuade Grace, but then she saw a text
message from George pop up: “Ms. Palmer, don’t worry, I’ll coax Grace into going to school.”
Taya replied to George: “Dr. George, if Grace really wants to live with Amon for some time, please help look after Grace so that she doesn’t get hurt.”
George sent a message soon after: “Actually Amon is quite fond of Grace, rest a*sured.”
Taya stared at this brief text for a while, then replied an “OK”.
Amon did not treat Grace very well at first, but then he seemed to accept the existence of that little girl.
Perhaps with Grace by his side he will slowly get over the grief of losing Rosalie and start a new life.
Taya sat at her desk with these thoughts in mind for a while, then she put down her phone, got up and went to find Harper.
After more than six months apart, the two of them had not been together, so Harper was very excited because she had been looking forward to spending time with Taya for a long time.
She and Taya were lying on a soft bed, with face masks on and chatting leisurely.
This scene was just like few years ago, on the night before Harper’s mating ceremony, they were also lying on the bed, chatting about the past and future.
Only then it was Harper who was getting mated, now it was her turn, and…
In the past, it was Harper who advised Taya not to mate Griffon, but now every word she spoke was in favor of him.
She kept advising Taya to be good to Griffon in the future so that they could have a happy and lasting mating.
While listening to Harper’s rambling, Taya stared at the ceiling and smiled sweetly.
At this moment, it suddenly became clear to her what the point of living again was.
It was to make up for her regret and to let her know that Griffon once loved her as well.
It was to return to Harper’s side, feeling the care and warmth that came from being with loved ones.
And… The relief given by the young man who disappeared after choosing to give way.
Seeing that Taya did not answer her words, Harper quickly turned to look at her, “What are you thinking?”
Taya came to her senses and smiled at Harper, “I was thinking, the flowers he sent have withered, why haven’t you thrown them away?”
The garden downstairs was full of pink roses that had been there for half a year, most of them had withered away. Surprisingly, Harper had not taken care of them but let them pile up.
Harper side-eyed and smiled, “Those were meant for you. I have to wait for you to come back and take a look, so that you, as the heroine, can deeply feel the romantic sentiment from Alpha.”
Taya lifted her hand and took hold of Harper’s arm, cuddling and saying, “My dear sister Harper, how can you be so good?”
Harper raised her eyebrows, and teased Taya with a smile, “How can I be your husband’s sister-in-law if I’m not good?”
Taya blushed, her shy expression unable to be hidden by her facial mask, “I haven’t mated yet, why did you change your appellation so quickly?”
Harper propped up her legs, swaying her feet, looking quite complacent and jokingly smiled, “It’s just a matter of time, don’t be in a hurry.”
Taya was rendered speechless.
Everyone seemed to think she was in a hurry, but in fact, she was not.
When Taya was extremely embarra*sed, Harper pulled her along again, and chatted casually. As they talked, they eventually brought up Stella.
They agreed to visit Stella tomorrow, washed their faces, finished their skincare routine, lay in bed and drifted off to sleep.
In the early morning of the next day, just as Taya had woken up, there came a knocking at the door. Mandy said, “Ms. Palmer, there’s an old gentleman Knight here to see you.”
Next to Taya, Harper did not hear Mandy clearly and thought it was Griffon Knight, so she said in a daze, “So early in the morning, his wife won’t run away.”
After she finished mumbling, she turned over with the pillow in her arms and fell back into a deep sleep.
But Taya, who was already awake, heard it clearly.
It’s Dominic Knight… Griffon’ grandfather and the Alpha of the Knight pack.
The distinguished man who was once a major figure in the business world appeared unexpectedly at the door.
