Chapter 1718
On the 30th day, the last night, Taya stood outside the castle, staring at the time on her watch. When
the hands pointed to 00:00, there was still no sign of the black car that Griffon had
left in on the road to Blue Bay Island…
Her anxious heart sank suddenly, and her feet seemed to
have a mind of their own as she walked towards the end
of the darkness. She wanted to see if there were any cars
coming up from the bottom of the mountain, but Peter blocked her path.
“Ma’am, danger!”
“Griffon reminded him to always stick close to Taya, no matter
where or when. He must never leave her side, especially during this time. Peter will keep his distance
while they are in
the castle, but at all other times, he will be right by her side.”
“He didn’t come back on time, so how could I possibly care
about any danger?”
Taya pushed away Peter’s hand and ran down the mountain. without a care, feeling certain that if she
just kept running, she would eventually find Griffon.

But she ran all the way to the end where the mountain road
meets the highway, and still didn’t see Griffon‘ car.
She stood there, dazed, with a pair of empty, lifeless eyes, staring at the passing cars…

where he went. How was she supposed to find him?
Peter, who had been following her all along, was also restless.
and furrowed his brow, staring at the passing vehicles…
As two people stood at the intersection, the sky began to drizzle again. Summer had passed and the
rainy autumn
season had arrived. The rain wasn’t heavy, just a light pitter–patter that fell onto the long, loose hair
behind them, giving it a chilly misty appearance.
Peter glanced at the rain pouring down from the night sky
and then at Taya, who was dressed in thin clothes. He wanted to persuade her to go back, but he knew
it would be useless. So he decisively took off his jacket and handed it to Taya.
“Ma’am, it’s pouring rain, please use my clothes to cover
yourself.”
Taya remained still, like an abandoned puppet, devoid of any
signs of life.

Peter saw that she had no reaction, hesitated for a few
seconds, and then unfolded his clothes.
“Ma’am, please forgive me.”
Then he lifted his suit jacket and covered it over her head,
shielding her from the wind and rain.
“Will Peter not come back?”

After a long time, Taya suddenly asked this question.
Peter knew where Mr. Greyson had gone, but he couldn’t tell Taya. All he could do was comfort her.
“No way, Mr. Greyson will definitely come back,” she
reassured.
When Mr. Greyson was about to leave, Peter asked him why
he didn’t take him along, so that he could have an extra
person to protect him.
“Mr. Greyson insisted that instead of protecting him, he would
rather have Peter protect Taya, because she is his everything.”
Peter stayed behind to protect Taya and wait for Mr.
Greyson’s return, risking his own life for his boss. He silently stood by her side, shielding her from harm
and patiently waiting for Mr. Greyson to come back.

Will he come back?”

“Taya murmured softly, not sure if she was asking Peter or herself. All she knew was that she felt
completely drained.”
She hugged her arms tightly and slowly crouched down,
gazing into the distance at the vehicles, hoping that one of them would be Griffon’s, but his car never
appeared…
As time passed by, Taya’s heart grew more and more desperate…
She didn’t know how long had passed when a white car suddenly stopped in front of her.
As soon as Taya saw a pair of black leather boots in the passenger seat, her heart tightened and she
sat up abruptly.
“Griffon!”

What appeared before my eyes was a completely unfamiliar face, not the sharp features I
remembered.
At the moment of touching the other person, Taya’s excited. heart suddenly cooled down.
Are you Mrs. Knight?”

Taya clenched her fists, looking at the other person with
suspicion.
“Who are you?”
“I’m here on behalf of Mr. Knight to check in and make sure everything is okay.”

Taya suddenly remembered that Griffon had said if he didn’t come back in a month, he would send
someone to check in on
her.
“I am his wife.”
As she eagerly nodded, the man finally took out a pink envelope and handed it to Taya.
“This is from Mr. Knight, he asked me to give it to you.”
She quickly reached out and took it, then swiftly tore open the envelope and pulled out the letter inside,
unfolding it hastily.
“Taya, I’m sorry, I broke my promise and didn’t come back on time. Please wait for me for two more
months, I will definitely
return.”
