After they left, Taya collapsed onto the couch, her eyes lifeless
and filled with despair.
“Holden, I need some time alone,” she said.
In the desolate living room, a faint voice drifted in, carrying both loneliness and a sense of coldness and despair. novelbin
Holden’s gaze fell upon the slightly swollen face, his lips parting as if to say something, but in the end, he remained
silent.
Holden’s heavy footsteps gradually faded away, leaving Taya
alone in the spacious house.
She was like a gust of wind, floating lightly as if she didn’t exist, even her breath was barely there…
After leaning against the couch for a while, she lifted her blurry eyes and looked at the sunset outside the window…
No one could empathize with her current feelings, and Taya wouldn’t use her own emotions to manipulate anyone.
She just sat there, feeling the pain of losing Griffon in silence.

She didn’t know how long had passed when the door opened again, and the warm glow of the setting sun poured in from the horizon…
Preston held Harper’s hand and stood at the doorway, looking at Taya who was crouched in a ball, lost in thought for a long time.
In the end, Harper let go of Preston’s hand and stepped on the light on the ground, walking step by step towards Taya.
As Taya was embraced in warm arms, in that moment, it was as if her soul had been sucked out and she finally had a
reaction.
She slowly lifted her head from his embrace and saw Harper’s worried face and tear–stained eyes.
“I just found out that I thought Griffon was really just on a business trip. I… I’m sorry…”
If she had known earlier, she would have come to accompany Taya, but Preston only told her the truth now. If it weren’t
for worrying that Taya wouldn’t understand, Preston would probably have kept it from her.
As she made her way over, she couldn’t help but blame Preston and Griffon for thinking they know everything. She

also blamed them for not communicating with their wives, leaving them with no solutions when something goes wrong.
Taya was overwhelmed with sadness, but when she saw
Harper crying uncontrollably, she still reached out her hand. and awkwardly hugged Harper back.
She was too weak to speak, relying on her loved ones for a bit of comfort. Harper knew she needed strength, so she mustered all her energy and hugged her tightly.
“It’s going to be okay. Griffon is so amazing, he will definitely
find a way to save himself. You have to believe in him, your
have to trust him…”
Despite struggling to hold back her tears, Harper managed to suppress her trembling voice and gently comforted Taya like. an older sister, softly stroking her back.
Taya, who had already buried herself in darkness, held, Harper tightly and buried her head in her neck, crying out loud like a pup, with a heart–wrenching pain…
Preston’s eyes turned red as he looked away from Taya’s face
and towards the urn on the table. For some reason, just one glance was enough for him to know that it wasn’t Griffon
inside.
The sound of crying in the living room gradually turned into

sobs in the silent stillness. Preston, who had been standing for a long time, lifted his heavy gaze and looked at Taya.
“Taya, since you didn’t choose Silas, I’ll be the one to protect you from now on.”
Taya slowly raised her tear–filled eyes and stared blankly at
Preston.
“Do you believe he’s dead too?”
Preston shook his head.
“I don’t believe it.”
Griffon was a master strategist and had a knack for being in control of everything. He refused to believe that Griffon had simply died.
“If I don’t believe he’s dead, he just can’t be dead.”
Preston’s determination was so powerful in his eyes.
Taya’s hope deepened, but she didn’t respond. She just
remained silent.
She defined Griffon as missing, rather than dead.
Because she will find him, no matter what, she will find him.

With this belief in mind, Taya slowly clenched her fingers.
Outside the villa, Peter was holding Grace and playing with Lego.
Peter didn’t hear their conversation, but he could sense it.

He had long suspected that Alpha was in a precarious situation and seemed to have mentally prepared himself, but he was still very sad.
It’s not the sudden sadness of finding out a friend has passed away, but the slow crumbling of the world that brings sorrow.
Grace was a smart and observant pup. When she saw the heavy expressions on the adults‘ faces, she knew something had happened.
As she quietly played with her Lego, she sneakily glanced up at Peter. “Uncle Peter, is my uncle Griffon, like the strange
uncle, gone?”
Peter’s tall figure stiffened for a moment, then he reached out and touched her head. “No, it’s not possible. Your uncle is so powerful, why would he leave?”
Grace pretended to be nonchalant as she said, “Although the strange uncle is quite powerful, but my uncle Alpha is event stronger. He should be fine…”
