Chapter 576 His kiss was as light as a peck. He ran his fingers along her hair and eventually her face. It was a refreshingly cooling touch. Taya looked at the finger rubbing her eyebrows and turned her head slightly to avoid his touch. The barely noticeable action caused emotional turmoil, smashing against the walls of the man’s heart, causing an instant pang of pain. The hawk eyes under the double eyelids were gradually smudged by affliction, with misty tears that moistened the eyes. “You… don’t want to?” Although he knew the answer, he couldn’t help blurting out asking out loud. Taya gave a slight hum as a reply. She nodded, the complex emotions in her pupils fading away to clarity. Her response was the last straw that destroyed his faith as if he
had reached the end of his life, powerless. “Why…” Why would she not want to get back with him after he had told her everything? Why would he fail to hold onto her no matter how hard he tried? Why couldn’t he get her when she was all he wanted in his life? Taya lowered her head, and after a moment of pondering, raised her clear bright eyes to stare at him. “Do you know what I was like in the past?” Her past few years ago belonged to Silas, so Griffon had no idea. Although he didn’t want to hear about the past between the two, he couldn’t help shaking his head still when it came to her.
“If you love someone, you can give everything you have, without hesitation, but…” Taya’s eyes dimmed as if shrouded in the darkness of the past, dull and gloomy. “I knelt in front of Silas, crying and begging for him not to abandon me, pleading for him not to forget me, but despair was all I received.” “Although few years later, he recovered his memory and told me that those were all misunderstandings, the fact is that I was hurt…” “After the incident, I grew a lot more sensitive, and nor did I have the courage to love someone again…” When she said so, she was once again imprisoned in her memories, struggling to break free while her eyes were on Griffon’ face, the face of the man who had tormented her for few whole years. “Back then, although I knew that you’ll never mate or love me, I still couldn’t help falling in love with you.” “After all the harm done, I no longer had the courage to boldly express my love, so staying by your side in silence was all I could do.” “I look forward to hoping that there’ll be a possible delay to the date that we end our agreement, but you still ended it in advance.” “Later, you and Tara became a pair. The two of you appeared before my eyes to hurt me, and that’s when I lost all my expectations of you…” “I remember the most heartbreaking moment was when you warned me not to dream of you loving me. As a result, I died
without hoping for you to fall in love with me… The tears in Taya’s eyes gushed out, pouring out the past grievances accumulated in her heart to the man hugging her tightly. “I was hurt, I’m insecure, I’m sensitive, and I have weak trust in you, but under such circumstances, I mustered the courage to get back with you. Just when I was opening up to you, I saw you entering a hotel with another woman.” “Even if you tell me now that it’s all made-up, I’d still be disappointed and terrified witnessing such a scene with my own eyes. My emotions torture me still, and I don’t even have the courage to question your words.” “I’m no longer the person I was few years ago. I’m now sensitive and cowardly. The next time I encounter similar situations, I’ll still take a step back and retreat. If I continue staying by your side, it wouldn’t be good for the two of us. We’re just not meant to be together.”
