Chapter 509 The candlelight dinner slowly came to an end with the playing of the cello… When Taya got up, the cool wind ruffled her short, messy hair, blocking her sight. After Griffon reached out to straighten her hair, he picked up his suit jacket and wrapped it around her body. Then, he took her hand again and led her downstairs. “Taya, there’s a musical. Do you…” He lowered his head to look at Taya beside him and saw that she was looking at the Capitol building in the distance. He stopped talking. He jutted his chin toward the bodyguard behind him, who immediately understood what he meant. The bodyguard quickly walked towards the White House. “Taya, let’s go to the Capitol building,” he suggested. Taya came back to her senses and shook her head. “No. You planned for us to go to a musical, so let’s go.”
It was just that she had heard Neil mention that the Capitol was inspired by the architecture from ancient Greece and ancient Rome, which was why she couldn’t help but stare at it. She didn’t expect Griffon to take her to the Capitol building just because she kept glancing at it. He was being a bit too considerate of her feelings. Griffon didn’t say much and simply led her toward the Capitol building. Taya thought they were just going to look from the outside,
but he took her inside. Tourists were allowed to visit the Capitol building, but a reservation had to be made. On top of that, it wasn’t open at night. However, all Griffon had to do was show his ID for the security guard to respectfully let them in. Taya was shocked. However, what shocked her more was that… After they entered, a group of people in suits and ties bowed down and greeted him. “Sir.”
In their home country, everyone called him Alpha Knight. Abroad, however, they called him Sir.
At first, she thought it was just an honorific title, but right then, she had a vague feeling that the title represented something. Taya couldn’t figure it out. Despite that, she felt he was more than just the person in charge of the Knight pack. After staring at Griffon for a while, she forced herself to look away and stop thinking about it. Instead, she would focus on touring the interior of the building. They held hands like a couple. After visiting the Capitol building, they went to several other landmarks. Such as the White House, the Washington monument, and
the central garden they saw earlier. They visited them all, and Griffon held her hand the whole time. It wasn’t until she was tired from walking that her pace slowed down and Griffon let go of her hand. He squatted down in front of her with his tall and straight body. “Get on, Taya.” Taya looked at the broad-shouldered man, feeling a little dazed. “You…”
Griffon turned his head slightly and gently asked, “You want me to carry you, don’t you?” There were pedestrians all around. How could she have the nerve to let him carry her? After hesitating for a few seconds, Taya crouched down and got on his back. The man under her smirked and easily lifted her up.
He gave her a piggyback as if he was carrying a whole lifetime’s worth of happiness and walked slowly under the street lamps. Taya stared at his defined side profile for a few seconds, then raised her hand and wrapped it around his neck. “Griffon…” “Hm?” He was carrying her on his back while walking on the streets of Washington. His side profile was slightly angled toward her as he looked at Taya who took the initiative to hug him. Taya buried her head in the back of his slender neck, smelling the light cedar fragrance from his thick hair, and muttered, “You never brought me out in the past. This is the first time…”
Her words caused him to stop suddenly. Intense pain began to quietly condense in his heart once again. He felt very distressed and extremely guilty, and apologized to her. “Taya, I’m sorry.” He was the one at fault for those five years. It was because he didn’t know how to cherish her, and he made her waste five years of her time. He subconsciously hugged the woman on his back tightly, using all of his strength as if he had the whole world in his embrace.
“Taya, I will make it up to you for the rest of my life. Just wait for me.” Taya fell silent after hearing that. She did not reply to his words and simply leaned on his back while looking at the sky full of stars. Those stars seem to be illuminating the way forward for them, leading them in the direction of happiness.
