Chapter 720
Her tears dropped on the back of his hands and startled the
man who was immersed in his memories.
Loosening his arms, he let her turn around, then pulled her over to sit on his lap again.
His hands held her palm-sized face, then gently wiped her tears away with the pulp of his fingers.
“I didn’t show you this to make you cry, but to let you know that I have always loved you.”
He couldn’t go back in time, so this was the only way he could
let her know that he used to love her in secret in the past.
Feeling his love, Taya nodded, then asked untimely, “Have I
ruined my make-up?”
Harper helped her put on makeup for half an hour just to make her look beautiful on the night of the proposal, but she knew she must have ruined it and looked ugly with all the
crying.
Hugging her tight, the man curled his lips into a half-smile, “I don’t mind about it, but crying is not good for your eyes.
Please stop, okay?”
His voice had always been cold, but talking to her, he tried his best to sound gentle. This warmed her heart.
Putting her hands on his shoulders, she lowered her head to look at him, “Has anyone ever told you that you actually look good when you smile?”
He seldom smiled, but when he did, his beautiful eyes and his thin lips would smile together.
Hearing this, Griffon nodded, “Yes.”
When Taya heard his answer, she suddenly felt jealous, “Who
was it?”
“Doesn’t he seldom smile? Who would make such a
comment?” She thought, “Usually only a woman would make
such a comment. I wonder who she was?”
The smile in Griffon’ eyes deepened, “Take a guess.”
Taya’s calm face was tinged with unhappiness, “I’ve no idea.”
Raising his head slightly, the man leaned against the edge of the sofa and looked at her with a smile, “Mrs. Knight, are you
jealous?”
As he guessed correctly, a look of embarrassment flashed across her face, but she refused to admit it, “I’m not, okay?”
Griffon held her waist and pulled her closer, then parted his lips to kiss hers.
As their moist and warm lips met, the man said in a deep voice, “Mrs. Knight, I’ve waited few years for you to get jealous.”
Taya wanted to tell him that after they separated, she had always been jealous of him and Tara, but he didn’t give her a chance to speak.
His bony fingers pressed the back of her head to tilt her perfect chin up as he kissed her madly and passionately.
Sitting on his lap, Taya enjoyed the kiss, but she still tried her best to push him off her, “You still haven’t told me who said
that.”
Griffon, whose eyes were dreamy, saw her jealously demanding an answer and suddenly chuckled, “Who else but
you?”
Taya blushed in embarrassment and thought Griffon knew her so well that she had failed to get the upper hand even
once.
Not wanting to admit defeat, she snorted, then got off his lap, hoping to hide in the bathroom, but he scooped her up.
“Remember what I said before about the one-time
compensation?”
That husky voice was seductive, but she was unaffected and shook her head, “Nope.”
Seeing that she couldn’t be seduced, the man gazed into her eyes with his sparkling eyes, “It’s okay, as long as I remember!”
