Chapter 501
This action caused Griffon to lose control after just calming down from anger.
He grabbed Taya’s arm and pulled her back into the car, his deep dark eyes fixed on her.
“Taya, I told you that Washington is not safe. Did you ignore my words?”
“I…”
Before Taya could say a word, Griffon said, “I know you don’t
want to go to my villa, but have you ever thought about who
you know and where you can go in Washington?”
His angry voice was mixed with despair. “Why do you refuse to
go to my villa under such circumstances? Accept my help. Do you hate me so much?”
He worked hard to get closer to her and show her his heart
countless times. It didn’t matter if she was unmoved, but why
was she resisting even when she needed help?
Could she turn a blind eye toward his love and tram ple on it
wantonly because she didn’t love him?
Taya stared blankly at him, who was inexplicably angry, and it
took her a while to react.
“Did you think I was leaving?”
She knew she was right when she saw Griffon’ face was cold and he didn’t reply.
After she took a deep breath, she patiently explained, “It’s too stuffy in the car. I just want to get out of the car to take a
breath.”
She added on top of her explanation, “I know Washington is
not safe, and I won’t wander around. As for not wanting to go
to you, it’s because I don’t want to owe you any more favors,
and it has nothing to do with whether I like you or not.”
Her few words made Griffon’s tense expression slightly lessen.
He let go of her arm, sat up straight, turned his head, and extinguished the cigarette in his hand.
After he threw the cigarettes into the trash can in the car, he
raised his thick eyelashes and looked at Taya.
“You have never owed me.”
His pleasant voice sounded a little frail.
“I will send someone to help you find the lost things. In the meantime, please bear with my villa first.”
Seeing him, Taya didn’t say any more words of rejection but pursed her red lips and chose to remain silent.
Griffon glanced at her with his heart aching to the point of
suffocation, but he didn’t say a word either. He restarted the
car and drove towards the villa.
Washington’s private villa covered an area of 100 acres. The exterior architecture was American style. They were
magnificent and surrounded by gardens, high white fences
coiled with roses. The sun shone, forming shadows on the
yard that reflected its luxuriousness.
Griffon drove the car into the garden, parked at the entrance
of the villa, opened the door, and then went to the passenger
seat to open hers.
Seeing that Taya was still a little dazed, he put one hand on the car door, leaned down, and asked, “Can you get down by
yourself, or should I carry you?”
Taya heard that he was going to carry her again, so she quickly recovered and got out of the car.
She stood on the spot and looked at the luxurious villa, feeling
a little at a loss.
Griffon stared at her anxious back, and after a few seconds
of silence, he stepped forward to grab her hand and walked
towards the villa.
Zack saw them from the villa. He immediately got up from the sofa and walked quickly into the study.
Griffon glanced in the direction of the study, pretended to be nonchalant, took Taya’s hand, and entered the living room of
the villa.
When the serv ants saw, they hurried up to greet him, “Sir, what would you need?”
Griffon glanced up and down at Taya’s dress and ordered in a
cold voice, “Prepare some clean clothes for her.”
The serva nts replied respectfully and retreated. Only the two of them were left in the s paci ous living room.
Taya lowered her head, looked at their intertwined fingers,
moved a bit, and wanted to remove her hand, but he held on
tightly.
“Alpha Knight, you…”
“Ms. Palmer.”
Griffon interrupted Taya, turned sideways, and looked down at her. “Have you forgotten that you kissed and touched me and more last night? Even after all that, are you afraid of holding my hand?”
