Chapter 537
Her voice was soft, as if she had exhausted all her strength
and courage just to shout his name. The rain was pouring
down heavily, smashing against her petite and dirty body that was covered in mud and debris.
She lay in the dirty puddle, lifeless, looking up at the night sky. When she saw the raindrops that were
larger than beans falling from the sky along the street lights, she smiled wryly. Even God was mocking
her foolishness…
What gave her the courage to start over with Griffon while disregarding everything despite being hurt
once before, just for those three unshakeable words? Couldn’t even a near-death experience wake her
up?
How much did Taya love Griffon, to the point of not being able to hurt him once, and to the extent that
she was willing to retrace their old path without hesitation?
Thinking of the painful past that had torn her apart, Taya suddenly laughed. The bitter smile on her pale
face was even uglier than death.
She propped herself up with her hands that had open wounds, and stood up from the ground. Perhaps
she was
unwilling to give up, or perhaps she had decided to admit

She wobbled towards the hotel. However, before she could
step inside, she was stopped by several security guards.
“Miss, this is where the Aronland royal family stays. Outsiders
are not allowed to loiter here. Please leave as soon as
possible.”
The Aronland royal family… such a background was something she could never reach in her lifetime.
But she still deluded herself that such an exalted man would mate her…
As if she had figured it out, Taya smiled brightly, nodded at the guards, and said, “Okay, I’ll leave…”
She turned around and went down the steps one by one. Her petite figure looked extremely thin and
lonely in the rain and
wind.
She wanted to wait for closure, so she didn’t really leave. Instead, she chose to sit on a bench far
away.
She waited quietly, in this unfamiliar country, alone in the rain. Looking at the hotel’s entrance, she was
waiting for the man who said he loved her to the moon and back.
In her heart, she repeatedly told herself that she would
choose to believe whatever he said if he came out right then.
But…
Taya waited for a whole night. She waited until the rain subsided and the sky cleared up. As the empty
streets started to fill with numerous foreigners looking at her, the man who promised to take her to see
the aurora did not show up.
She lifted her numb legs and put them on the bench, hugging her knees and burying her head in her
arms. Curling up like this, she found a sense of security but it made her feel like an abandoned pup all
of a sudden. Thus, she cried uncontrollably, not caring about how others would think of
her.
She had never been so devastated, not even when he slapped her. This was the second time she felt
that way because of the same man, a pain that no one could understand.
However, she did not blame anyone but herself. She knew that Griffon was stubborn and would
become indifferent to her after getting what he wanted yet she still accepted him again and again at his
insistence.
She had never made the right decision, so it was her fault for being hurt twice by the same man. She
deserved to experience the pain of going from full of anticipation to disappointment and then to despair

She cried bitterly, as if to cry out all the grievances of the past few years. The loss of not being able to
even ask him face-to-face, made her feel extremely broken.

She had no powerful background, no connections, and no high education. Even what she had in the
designing world was her sister’s. How could she, a normal human being, dare to expect Griffon’
unattainable love? Why should she even have the audacity?
When Taya was crying her heart out, her phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She fumbled for her
phone while crying, which had been soaked in rain but still had a good waterproof
performance.
When she saw the name displayed on the screen with her blurred vision, she burst into tears as if she
had seen a loved one. She didn’t answer Neil’s call, but only looked at the message he sent.
“The result is out. The National Space Administration is very satisfied. The first project is successfully
completed, and I’m returning home. Are you following?”
Taya slowly raised her head and looked toward the hotel’s entrance. A pale smile reappeared on her
tear-stained face.
Griffon, this time, I really tried my best to be brave. But loving
you was just too exhausting, too exhausting…
