Chapter 500
Griffon deliberately lowered his voice. It seemed that he was
seducing Taya.
But Taya was unmoved and remained firm. She shook her
head at him.
“It has nothing to do with her.”
She made it clear in the hospital that she rejected him because loving him was tiring.
In those years, they had never reciprocated each other’s
feelings. They had been guessing and suspicious of each
other.
Even though it was caused by various misunderstandings, she
did experience those pains and despair.
Such a tortured and entangled past made her fearful and

Griffon wanted to see a hint of jealousy in her eyes, but there
was nothing. It was as if it wasn’t because of Jessica.
He slightly distanced himself from her, his eyes were deep and
cold from disappointment. “It seems that you don’t care who I’m with.” Taya glanced at him, and this
time, she mustered up the courage to confess to him. “I used to care about it.” The first three words
made Griffon realize that the gap between them was an obstacle called time. However, it is impossible
to turn back time. No matter how remorseful he felt, he couldn’t go back to the past. The loss in Griffon’
eyes gradually turned into gloom, and his handsome face was also tinged with a bleak pallor. He
withdrew his finger on the elevator door, turned sideways, and faced the front of the elevator, staring at
the descending numbers with cold eyes. Taya looked at the lonely and cold back in front of her, clasped
her palms tightly, and explained, “I thought you were with Jessica, but you let me live in your villa. I
don’t think it’s appropriate, so I asked you about it. I hope you… won’t get me wrong.” Griffon didn’t turn
his head. He didn’t say anything as if he didn’t hear her.
It wasn’t until the elevator door opened that he turned around
and grabbed her wrist, dragging her out of the hotel.
Griffon forced Taya into his car. Regardless of her wishes, the man fastened the seat belt on her and
started the car quickly. When the car was speeding through the streets of Washington, Taya turned her
head slightly and took a look at Griffon. He kept a cold face and said nothing. His eyes were frosted
over, and he seemed mad with her. Taya was afraid of him when he was like this, but she mustered up
her courage and said, “I… Can I not go to your villa?” In a foreign country, when encountering
difficulties twice, it was Griffon who extended his helping hand. Originally, they didn’t owe each other
anything, but in this way, she would owe him a favor again. When Griffon heard this, his expression
darkened. He slammed on the brakes and stopped the car.
Due to the inertia, Taya fell forward.
Seeing that she was about to hit the front of the car, Griffon
reached out to his finger to support her forehead.
Taya, who avoided crashing into the interior of the car,

withdrawn her hand.
His handsome and flawless complexion was as cold as snow, and his expression was indifferent as
usual.
Griffon looked ahead, and after a few seconds of silence, he took out a pack of cigarettes from the car.
He took one out of it, rubbed it between his fingers for a few seconds, and finally lit it.
He lowered the car window, propped his elbows on the edge of the window, tilted his head, and quietly
smoked a cigarette.
All Taya could see was his clear jawline and fingers holding the cigarette through the smoke.
She glanced at it and looked away, assuming Griffon did it
because of his addiction to cigarettes.
The silence in the car was suffocating, and Taya felt a little
restless. She wanted to get out of the car to take a breath, so
she couldn’t help reaching out and pressing the door button.
Hearing the slight movement, the man raised his eyes and
looked in the rearview mirror to see her pushing the door
