Chapter 1514
She rolled down the car window to get some fresh air, but Preston closed it and turned on the air conditioning.
In that instant, as the temperature dropped, Harper looked uncomfortably at Preston, who was focused on driving. Despite him taking care of her during this time, they mostly remained silent, just like now. It was awkward, but they had no choice but to be together.
Preston wanted to ask Harper if she still had feelings for him, but thinking about what she had just been through, he gritted his teeth and held back. He should give her some more time…
Taya was going to the capital city, and it just so happened that George and Neil were returning to the US to visit Grace. So, Taya entrusted Grace to both of them. George was a bit older and quite reliable, so Taya felt at ease with him. As for Neil…
Taya glanced at Neil, who was lying on the couch, swinging his feet and ordering Grace to pick up darts. “Teacher, if my husband sees you trashing his couch like this, he’ll definitely come over from the office and strangle you.”
Neil took a bite of his banana without a care in the world. “Once
you guys leave, I’ll be the master of this castle. I can do whatever I
want.”
teacher, I would never let you into my house.”
Neil smiled mischievously. “If you don’t want me to mess up your home, then make a golden figurine for me according to my proportions.”
George, who was picking up darts with Grace, chimed in. “Taya, it’s enough for me to watch the kids alone. Tell your bodyguard to kick him out.”
He deceived them for food and drinks, and now he wanted to deceive them for gold. Where was Neil’s conscience?
Taya was about to reply when she saw Griffon enter with confident strides from the door.
She quickly turned her head to remind Neil to sit properly, only to find that Neil, who hadn’t even put on his shoes just now, was sitting up straight with his hands naturally resting on his knees. He had a serious and solemn expression, which shocked Taya, George, and Grace.
After Griffon coldly surveyed the room without noticing anything
amiss, his gaze shifted past Neil and onto Taya.
“The helicopter is here, let’s go.”
“Harper hasn’t arrived yet, let’s wait a bit longer.”
Speaking, Harper walked in with her suitcase,
accompanied by Edith.
“Take me with you.”
Edith, wearing a champagne-colored long dress, stood gracefully and elegantly at the entrance.
“I’ve also suffered from depression and know how to overcome it. Take me with you, maybe I can help Silas.”
Her beautiful face held a clear and confident smile, like the morning sun that could heal all things in the world.
