Meanwhile, in the Knight Manor…
After running a check-up on Griffon, Stella frowned and explained, "You haven't eaten or drank anything for the past few days, and you've overworked yourself. You are not in good shape. If you don't take proper rest, I'm afraid that your body might not be able to handle it."
Griffon didn't take Stella seriously at all. He sat on the sofa in the study, staring out the window in a daze.
His eyes, which used to be bright like the stars, were empty and lifeless right then. They were like a black hole, not a single ray of light could break through.
Stella shook her head looking at him being in this state. After sticking an IV needle into the back of his hand, she once again told him, "Without keeping your body in good condition, how are you going to win Taya back? Pull yourself together and stop torturing yourself."
Stella did not receive any response from Griffon so she stopped speaking. She got up and left the study with her medical bag in hand.
Once Stella left, Griffon slowly retracted his gaze and glanced in the direction of the safe. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly got up.
He pulled the IV needle, walked to the safe, and raised his fingers to key in the password before retrieving his personal phone from it.
After charging it, he turned it on just in time to see a message from Taya.
"Greyson, since you know that I’m still alive, you should set up a time for us to meet and explain yourself properly.”
"Greyson, you used to reply so quickly. Why don’t you dare to reply now? Are you feeling guilty?”
“Greyson, are you too scared to see me? How did you have the guts to send me thousands of messages when you’re such a coward?”
“Greyson, why aren’t you picking up my calls?”
“Greyson, I'll ask you out one more time. Let's set up a time for us to meet. Are you coming?”
……
There were several other messages where she proposed to meet him.
Griffon was frozen after reading the texts.
When he checked the timestamps, he realized that they were sent after he went to the NASA. It had been more than a month since then.
After Taya returned to the US as Rosalie, she didn’t hear from Greyson and ended up blocking him.
Why did she suddenly unblock him and even ask him out?
Griffon stared at the messages. He read through them several times, but still didn't quite understand.
Even so, regardless of why she wanted to meet up with him, at least she was willing to meet Greyson.
