Chapter 1722
Taya couldn't shake off the bitter smile on Holden's face as he left. It kept echoing in her mind.
She always felt like Holden was hiding something from her, but as for what it was...
She actually had a suspicion, but she automatically avoided the thought that Griffon or Zack might have gotten into trouble. Holding onto her last hope, she endured all the uneasiness and stayed at home, obediently waiting for 22 days.
The hands on the watch pointed to 00:00 once again, but there was still no sign of Griffon' car or his presence at the entrance of Blue Bay Island...
In this moment, all the trust that Taya had built up crumbled. It was the first time she had smashed a million-dollar watch and also the first time she had flipped over a dining table.
She couldn't take it anymore. She stormed out of the villa like a madwoman, running all the way to the end of the road. If it wasn't for Peter stopping her, she would have been hit by a car.
Peter pulled the irrational Taya and pleaded with her, "Madam, please wait a little longer. Mr. Greyson will definitely come back, he will definitely come back!"
Taya couldn't help but laugh, "Do you believe it?"
Peter was left speechless when he was asked.
He started off believing, but the moment Mr. Davies appeared, he no longer believed.
It's possible that Mr. Davies returned safely, but it may have been at the cost of another life.
Whose life was being exchanged, Peter didn't dare to think about it. One was the man who had raised him, and the other was the person he had relied on since pup period, Zack.
Even though he had already guessed the outcome, he couldn't tell Taya and had to pretend he knew nothing, silently accompanying her to prevent any trouble.
If the deceased person is really Mr. Greyson, then Peter will stay by Taya's side for the rest of his life, protecting her.
Even Peter couldn't provide an answer, Taya's fear grew bigger and bigger, until it completely consumed her.
She gritted her teeth in fear, broke free from Peter's grasp, and hugged herself tightly, slowly crouching down.
"Peter, I'm starting to hate him..."
He promised her that he would come back in a month, but he broke his promise.
He wrote to her again, promising to come back in two months, but he broke his promise.
She didn’t know if his promise of a lifetime commitment would also be broken.
If he couldn’t even keep his word on this, she would never forgive Griffon.
Peter crouched on the ground, his body curled up into a ball, and his brow furrowed in concentration.
"Ma'am, don't resent your husband. He loves you very, very much."
Taya's lips curled into a silent smile, but as she continued to smile, tears began to roll down her cheeks.
"I'll wait for him a little longer..."
She waited for him a little longer, but if he still hadn't returned before dawn, she would go and find him.
Anyway, whether she lived or dead, she had to see Griffon.
But before dawn, she didn't wait for Griffon, instead she waited for Silas...
Taya froze when she saw him slowly approaching with a cane, one step at a time, until he stood in front of her.
