Chapter 1714
It rained all night without stopping, and it wasn't until the next morning that it finally drizzled away.
Griffon lowered his gaze and stared at the woman in his arms. After a moment, he slowly released her.
He thought Taya was asleep, so he lifted the covers, grabbed his clothes, and tiptoed out of the room...
Taya, lying on her side in bed, opened her eyes and gazed at the tall and imposing figure in front of her...
She heard him remind Frank to take good care of her, and also heard him remind Peter to protect her. He also instructed Grace to listen to her words while he was away...
He was saying his final goodbye, and Taya knew it. But compared to ten days ago when she cried and made a fuss, she was much calmer now. It seemed like she had already accepted the fact that he was leaving.
After lying down for a while, she got up and went to the bathroom to freshen up. Then she sat down at the vanity and applied a light makeup for herself. After that, she grabbed her suitcase and headed to Griffon' dressing room...
After finishing his call with Preston, Griffon returned and saw a silver suitcase on the floor of the dressing room. A woman was crouched next to the suitcase, her back facing him as she carefully placed folded clothes inside, one by one...
As Griffon watched the slender and delicate figure walking away, his heart inexplicably ached and his feet froze in place, unable to move...
Taya wasn't sure how long had passed when she finished organizing her suit and shirt. As she got up to straighten her suit pants, she caught a glimpse of the man behind her in the full-length mirror.
As she reached for his pants, her hand hesitated for a moment before pushing down the sadness in her heart. She turned around and smiled at Griffon, "Honey, I'm helping you pack your luggage. Is there anything special you want to bring? Just let me know and I'll pack it for you."
Griffon stood on the second floor hallway, looking back at the dressing room. He wanted to run back and tell Taya that he wasn't leaving, that he would stay with her for the rest of his life. But his rationality stopped him from doing so...
Preston arrived at Blue Bay Island and happened to see Griffon standing on the second floor.
"Griffon, why did you call me to your house so early?"
His voice snapped Griffon out of his thoughts, causing the man to release his tightly clenched fist and quickly turn to walk downstairs.
Go to the study.'
Preston couldn't help but feel a sense of unease as he noticed Griffon' serious expression. Last time, Griffon had mentioned leaving for a while and promised to tell him where he was going before he left. Could it be that Griffon was actually leaving?
