Chapter 575
At that point, Griffon paused. His hawk eyes, which hadn’t had a proper rest in the past few days, were red-rimmed once more
when he looked at Taya.
“The French restaurant is not a romantic restaurant for couples.
It’s just an ordinary western restaurant.”
“The glass installed in the restaurant is LOW-E glass, which means guests can’t see what’s going on outside at night…”
Eyelashes of the stunned Taya fluttered uncontrollably when she
heard those words.
Griffon’ fingers were gentle and delicate as always in stroking her eyebrows as if to overcome her insecurities.
“Emelyn’s identity is quite unique in the sense that it involves the Aronland royal pack. If we had to go on a mission, we must forge
an alibi.”
“She requested my help for the two of us to act as a couple, but I didn’t want to, so I looked out the window. It just so happened that you showed up at that time.”
After his words died away, he embraced her petite figure in his arms, the pair of hawk eyes under the thick eyelashes were full of
apology.
“I’m sorry that I didn’t see you. Had I known that you were outside, I promise I would have gone out to you.”
Taya frowned, staring blankly at the man, who raised a hand to soothe her frowns.
“After I exited the restaurant, I was wearing a headset and was in contact with the organization, so I didn’t hear you calling my
name.”
“I’m sorry that you sat by the hotel, waiting for me in the heavy rain, and that you mistook both Emelyn and I for cheating on
you…”
“To be honest, there’s nothing between the two of us. After entering the hotel and forging the alibi, we left through the back
door.”
After Taya listened to all he had to say, she recovered from her daze and couldn’t help blurting out asking with visible doubts in her eyes that confused her all the while.
“How do you know all this…”
“The surveillance footage.”
Through the surveillance footage, he could see how desperate she had been with despair overflowing in her eyes, but she tried
her best to chase after him nonetheless, never giving up.
If he had exited through the main entrance of the hotel that night, his Taya wouldn’t have had to soak herself in the rain all night, let alone leave in sorrow and hopelessness.
“The texts and photos from Jessica are all fake.”
“For me, Griffon Knight, you’re the only woman I’ve ever had. I can’t help feeling disgusted whenever I touch other women.”
“Trust me, I’ve never let you down. I swear that I was just dealing with the affairs of the organization that night.”
After Taya nodded her head lightly, her eyelashes lowered to hide
the complicated emotions in her eyes.
Upon returning to the villa in Washington, the first thing he had done was to explain why he hadn’t been able to return home in
time.
He had made it clear that the reason he couldn’t make it back in time was due to an emergency that broke out within the
organization.
Her heartbroken self couldn’t care less about what he had done,
so she didn’t bother to question him if his words were true and if
he had an affair with Emelyn.
Right then as he was telling her all the truth, she was at a loss of
not knowing what to say…
As if he could sense her emotions, Griffon reassured Taya in his usual gentle voice, “It’s all my fault. Before the incident happened, I didn’t give you a heads-up, and after the incident, I didn’t explain everything clearly to you. I mistook your departure as your excuse to meet Silas, and in a fit of anger, I hurt you, I’m sorry…”
After he apologized, he planted a gentle kiss on her lips. “Jessica has been dealt with, and I’ll handle Tara in person since she’s
hired someone to hurt you. Now that you and Silas have gotten a unmate and that we have cleared things up between us, let’s get back together, shall we?”
