Chapter 1721
Taya sat on the windowsill, clutching the letter, waiting silently for Griffon. Suddenly, Frank burst through the door.
"Ma'am, Holden has returned."
Upon hearing these words, Taya was momentarily stunned. Then, a glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in her otherwise dull eyes.
She didn't even bother to put on her shoes, and ran barefoot past Frank, quickly stepping onto the revolving staircase and rushing into the living room.
Sitting straight on the couch, Holden heard the sound of someone coming downstairs behind him and slowly turned around...
As soon as Taya saw Holden's familiar face, tears welled up in her clear and pure eyes.
Holden returned safely, did that mean Griffon also returned unharmed?
Taya took a step forward and walked up to Holden.
"Where is he?"
Holden lowered his eyelashes, hiding the sadness in his eyes, and said softly, "He... hasn't come back yet."
Taya's heart sank as the hope that had just ignited was completely extinguished. "When will he be able to come back?"
Holden tightened his fingers on his knee. "Didn't he write to you and tell you to wait another two months? There's still 22 days left, just hold on a little longer."
Taya's eyes were fixed on Holden's pale face, "Holden, why did you come back, but he didn't?"
Holden's already pale face turned even whiter at the sound of this question, draining all color from his cheeks.
He gritted his teeth in pain and guilt, looking at Taya. "He still has a mission to complete, so he asked me to come back and let you know that he's safe."
Did he send Holden back to report his safety because he was afraid she would worry?
If that was the case, it meant he's okay, he was still alive.
Taya's heart clenched, but she managed to calm down a bit. "So how is he? Is he injured?"
All she worried about was Griffon getting hurt, getting into trouble, or not coming back. As long as he was okay, she didn't mind waiting however long it took.
Holden's fingers trembled as he gripped his suit pants, but he forced himself to let go and put on a strained smile to reassure Taya, "He's fine, he didn't get hurt."
If anyone else had said this, Taya wouldn't believe it. But it's coming from Holden, who went with Griffon and came back unharmed. That proves that what he's saying is trustworthy.
