The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover by Caesar Erickson novel Chapter 719

Chapter 719
Looking at the man as he sat on the sofa and fiddled with
the safe on the table, she said softly, “Griffon, thank you for preparing all these for me.”
Griffon entered the password on the safe and looked up at her with his beautiful eyes, “Come here.”
When he said “come here”, Taya was reminded of the past.
At that time, they were also in Mansion No. 8. When he saw her, the phrase he said the most to her was “come here”.
However, he used to be domineering and indifferent, while he was loving and affectionate now. It was as if he had reserved
all his tenderness for her.
Taya stopped thinking about the past and walked over before he pulled her into his lap.
Wrapping his arms around her from behind, he reached out his hands and opened the safe on the table.
Taya was surprised to see the beige scarf inside, along with her photo and a torn letter held together with many tapes.
She reached out her hand to touch the scarf and lowered her gaze thoughtfully before remembering that it was something she left behind in Mansion No. 8.
And that photo was of her lying on her side while sleeping in
bed.
She picked up the photo and looked over her shoulder at
Griffon, “When did you take this?”
The man gazed at her remorsefully, “You wanted to leave me
a photo, so…”
Before he could finish, Taya caught on.
Back then, she thought she was going to die soon, so she begged him to take a photo of her, hoping that he would keep it as a souvenir.
But at that time, Griffon probably heard her calling Sila s’s name in her sleep and turned her down.
Taya thought that he wouldn’t think about it afterward, and had not expected him to take her photo in secret. Knowing this, she felt somewhat relieved of the regret that had bugged
her.
She looked at Griffon and smiled, but he said solemnly, “I kept looking at it during those few years.”
If it wasn’t for this photo, Taya’s image in his mind would have been blurry, and he wouldn’t have suffered so much missing her.
Hearing this, Taya gently kissed his forehead, “That was the past. Now that I’m by your side, you don’t need it anymore.”
She put the photo back into the safe, “I’ll take more photos with you in the future…”
Hearing her promise, Griffon, who couldn’t get over the past, was gradually filled with warmth.
Taya’s fingers caressed the letter that had been taped back together, “I remember I tore it.”
The man behind her replied softly, “Even if the thing you left me was torn, I would restore it.”
Just like their relationship, even if it was once broken, he would do his best to repair it. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have gotten engaged now.
Taya scolded him for being foolish, but her fingers picked up the suicide note written with few words.
Seeing what she wrote and a few lines that had been added below, her eyes gradually turned red.
Her letter read:
“Griffon,
He said, ‘Do not wishfully think that I would love you!
It turned out that he doesn’t love me…”
Added underneath her message was in Griffon’ handwriting:
“Taya,
It was I who wishfully thought you would love me.
Unfortunately, you don’t.”
What he wrote had been smudged many times and looked a
little blurry. It must have been written a long, long time ago.
Taya could guess that after she tore the letter to pieces, he had picked them up and pasted them together before adding
his message.
She did not know how much the man behind her had
struggled when he wrote these three lines.
All she knew was that when she was holding the crumpled
letter, her tears couldn’t stop falling.
“Some people say that when we want something or think
about someone badly, we would surely receive a res
