Chapter 540
She lowered her eyelashes and stared at her injured palm for
a few seconds before nodding at Griffon.
“It’s okay.”
No matter what he did last night, Taya, who was exhausted from this relationship, didn’t care anymore.
As she sat on the bench on the streets of Washington all night,
she finally realized…
She and Griffon were simply people from two different worlds,
one from the bottom and the other from the top of the ladder.
She couldn’t understand what kind of a world Griffon was in
and she could only see the narrow side of it.
Her narrow perspective was that the fragile trust she had just built with Griffon was shattered by someone from the top.
She had never thought deeply about the issue of unequal
status before, thinking that as long as she bravely loved, she could have a beautiful ending.
But…
When they went on a date at a French restaurant, she couldn’t
understand the menu written in French.
When they visited the Washington Capitol Building, people
bowed to him.
When he took her to meet his friends, they were all nobles
from around the world that he had known since childhood.
She saw him with another woman at a restaurant and wanted to go in and ask him about it, but was stopped by security at the door.
When she chased him to the hotel in the pouring rain, only to be told that it was a place where the Aronland royal pack frequented…
She realized that the problem between them was not just about trust, but also the huge gap in their backgrounds.
After promising to be with him, she had hoped to stand shoulder to shoulder with him through her own efforts, but during this time…
He made her realize how many obstacles an ordinary person had to overcome with their own hands to climb to where he
was…
Just as she was trying to overcome these obstacles, he shattered her trust, destroyed her sense of security, and made
her utterly exhausted…
Whether it’s love or mating, it ultimately depends on
compatibility. She and Griffon were really not suitable for
each other…
Griffon saw the wound on her palms and felt a pang in his heart. “How did you get hurt?”
Taya didn’t care and replied softly, “I fell.”
Upon hearing this, Griffon grabbed her hand and called for
the servant to bring first aid.
However, she pushed his hand away and uttered, “I’ve already applied the medicine. It’s nothing serious…”
Griffon saw her distant attitude and his suspicion grew stronger. “What happened to you? Did the servants and bodyguards bully you while I was away? Did they hurt you?
Tell me and I will deal with them.”
The servant, who had just come with the first aid, was frightened by his words and turned pale.
Looking at Taya’s eyes, the servant panicked as if he was
looking at some venomous snake or fierce beast, making Taya
feel even more burdened.

She quickly shook her head at Griffon. “They’ve been very nice
to me and never bullied me. It was my own fault for falling.
