Chapter 519
Taya had some understanding of Griffon’s methods, but she didn’t want to dwell on it and simply continued, “Maybe he left Washington.”
Neil didn’t care about this and just replied to her with “bye” before hanging up the phone.
As soon as Taya exited the contact list interface, Harper called her on video.
Taya answered the call and saw Harper was holding a cigarette in one hand and her phone in the other, leaning against a bar in the video.
“Taya, you’ve been in Washington for over half a month. Do
you miss me?” Harper asked with a grin.
“Of course,” Taya replied with a smile, noticing the cigarette in her friend’s hand and advising her, “Harper, you should smoke
less.”
Harper had a heavy smoking habit. She had only quit for a few days before starting again. It was better for women to
smoke and drink less, but Harper didn’t care about that.
“I only smoke good quality cigarettes, which won’t harm my body. Don’t worry,” Harper explained with a raised eyebrow.
Taya sighed deeply and asked, “Harper, have you been okay in the past half month?”
Harper glared at her with her bright eyes. “You only
remember me now? I don’t even know what you’ve been doing during this time. I messaged you and it took you half a day to reply…”
Taya felt a little embarrassed and lowered her head. “I…”
“Wait!” Harper interrupted her.
Harper looked like she had discovered something as she stared at the exposed neck of Taya through the screen. Her
eyes widened. “What are those red patches on your neck?”
Taya’s face turned red instinctively upon hearing this and she hurriedly pulled up her nightgown to cover her neck. However,
the nightgown seemed to be against her and just as she pulled it up, it became loose and fell down.
Harper had sharp eyes and saw how embarrassed Taya was, so she deliberately teased her, “Were you bitten by
mosquitoes?”
Taya opened her mouth to explain but Harper interrupted her
meaningfully, “I didn’t expect the mosquitoes in Washington to be so big.”
Taya laughed at her teasing, and her shyness faded a bit, but she didn’t know how to bring up the topic to Harper..
Harper knew that Griffon was in Washington, and could see from Taya’s expression what had happened between the two during this time. “Have you two made up?”
Taya, who was seen through by Harper, no longer concealed it and nodded slightly at the video. Seeing this, Harper felt relieved because she knew that Taya still loved Griffon, and that he loved her too. They had cleared up their misunderstandings and barriers. Sooner or later they would be together. However, while Harper was happy for Taya, she
also had some worries. She was afraid that Taya would be
hurt again. After all, someone like Griffon would find it difficult
to stay in a mating.
But Harper didn’t say her thoughts out loud. She always felt
that Griffon loved Taya so much that he would overcome all
difficulties and marry her.
Putting aside her worries, she looked at the hic keys on Taya’s
neck and advised her, “Be moderate and don’t come back
with a son-in-law for me.” The blush that had just faded from Taya’s face was instantly brought back by Harper’s words.
“Harper, can you please not be so casual about it?”
With her sharp, manicured fingernail, Harper pointed at Taya’s neck on the screen and retorted, “Look at yourself,
who’s the casual one?”
