The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 509

Chapter 509
The candlelight dinner slowly came to an end with the playing
of the cello…
When Taya got up, the cool wind ruffled her short, messy hair,
blocking her sight.
After Griffon reached out to straighten her hair, he picked up
his suit jacket and wrapped it around her body.
Then, he took her hand again and led her downstairs. “Taya,
there’s a musical. Do you…”
He lowered his head to look at Taya beside him and saw that she was looking at the Capitol building in the distance. He stopped talking.
He jutted his chin toward the bodyguard behind him, who immediately understood what he meant. The bodyguard quickly walked towards the White House.
“Taya, let’s go to the Capitol building,” he suggested.
Taya came back to her senses and shook her head. “No. You planned for us to go to a musical, so let’s go.”

It was just that she had heard Neil mention that the Capitol was inspired by the architecture from ancient Greece and
ancient Rome, which was why she couldn’t help but stare at it.
She didn’t expect Griffon to take her to the Capitol building
just because she kept glancing at it. He was being a bit too considerate of her feelings.
Griffon didn’t say much and simply led her toward the Capitol
building.
Taya thought they were just going to look from the outside,
but he took her inside.
Tourists were allowed to visit the Capitol building, but a
reservation had to be made. On top of that, it wasn’t open at
night.
However, all Griffon had to do was show his ID for the security guard to respectfully let them in.
Taya was shocked. However, what shocked her more was
that…
After they entered, a group of people in suits and ties bowed
down and greeted him.
“Sir.”

In their home country, everyone called him Alpha Knight.
Abroad, however, they called him Sir.

At first, she thought it was just an honorific title, but right then,
she had a vague feeling that the title represented something.
Taya couldn’t figure it out. Despite that, she felt he was more
than just the person in charge of the Knight pack.
After staring at Griffon for a while, she forced herself to look away and stop thinking about it. Instead, she would focus on
touring the interior of the building.
They held hands like a couple. After visiting the Capitol building, they went to several other landmarks.
Such as the White House, the Washington monument, and
the central garden they saw earlier. They visited them all, and
Griffon held her hand the whole time.
It wasn’t until she was tired from walking that her pace slowed
down and Griffon let go of her hand. He squatted down in
front of her with his tall and straight body.
“Get on, Taya.”
Taya looked at the broad-shouldered man, feeling a little
dazed. “You…”

Griffon turned his head slightly and gently asked, “You want
me to carry you, don’t you?”
There were pedestrians all around. How could she have the
nerve to let him carry her?
After hesitating for a few seconds, Taya crouched down and
got on his back.
The man under her smirked and easily lifted her up.
He gave her a piggyback as if he was carrying a whole lifetime’s worth of happiness and walked slowly under the street lamps.
Taya stared at his defined side profile for a few seconds, then
raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck.
“Griffon…”
“Hm?”
He was carrying her on his back while walking on the streets of Washington. His side profile was slightly angled toward her
as he looked at Taya who took the initiative to hug him.
Taya buried her head in the back of his slender neck, smelling
the light cedar fragrance from his thick hair, and muttered, “You never brought me out in the past. This is the first time…”

Her words caused him to stop suddenly. Intense pain began to quietly condense in his heart once again.
He felt very distressed and extremely guilty, and apologized to
her. “Taya, I’m sorry.”
He was the one at fault for those five years. It was because he
didn’t know how to cherish her, and he made her waste five
years of her time.
He subconsciously hugged the woman on his back tightly, using all of his strength as if he had the whole world in his
embrace.
“Taya, I will make it up to you for the rest of my life. Just wait
for me.”
Taya fell silent after hearing that. She did not reply to his words and simply leaned on his back while looking at the sky
full of stars.
Those stars seem to be illuminating the way forward for them,
leading them in the direction of happiness.
