    Chapter 563


    Meanwhile, in the Knight Manor…


    After running a check-up on Griffon, Ste frowned and exined, “You haven’t eaten or drank


    anything for the past few days, and you’ve overworked yourself. You are not in good shape. If you don’t


    take proper rest, I’m afraid that your body might not be able to handle it.”


    Griffon didn’t take Ste seriously at all. He sat on the sofa in the study, staring out the window in a


    daze.


    His eyes, which used to be bright like the stars, were empty and lifeless right then. They were like a


    ck hole, not a single ray of light could break through.


    Ste shook her head looking at him being in this state. After sticking an IV needle into the back of his


    hand, she once again told him, “Without keeping your body in good condition, how are you going to win


    Taya back? Pull yourself together and stop torturing yourself.”


    Ste did not receive any response from Griffon so she stopped speaking. She got up and left the


    study with her medical bag in


    hand.


    Once Ste left, Griffon slowly retracted his gaze and nced in


    the direction of the safe. After staring at it for a while, he suddenly


    got up.


    He pulled the IV needle, walked to the safe, and raised his fingers. to key in the password before


    retrieving his personal phone from


    it.


    After charging it, he turned it on just in time to see a message from Taya.


    “Greyson, since you know that I’m still alive, you should set up a time for us to meet and exin


    yourself properly.”


    “Greyson, you used to reply so quickly. Why don’t you dare to


    reply now? Are you feeling guilty?”


    “Greyson, are you too scared to see me? How did you have the guts to send me thousands of


    messages when you’re such a


    coward?”


    “Greyson, why aren’t you picking up my calls?”


    “Greyson, I’ll ask you out one more time. Let’s set up a time for us to meet. Are youing?”


    There were several other messages where she proposed to meet


    him.


    Griffon was frozen after reading the texts.


    When he checked the timestamps, he realized that they were sent after he went to the NASA. It had


    been more than a month since


    then.


    After Taya returned to the US as Rosalie, she didn’t hear from Greyson and ended up blocking him.


    Why did she suddenly unblock him and even ask him out?


    Griffon stared at the messages. He read through them several times, but still didn’t quite understand.


    Even so, regardless of why she wanted to meet up with him, at least she was willing to meet Greyson.


    Griffon’ dull eyes showed a hint of color, and he typed with his fingers.


    He tapped on the send button, then gripped the phone nervously, waiting for a reply that would never


    come.


    After Taya heard Griffon’ voice on the phone, she was a little confused. She kept losing focus.


    Neil noticed it so he picked up a brick and tapped it on her safety


    hat.


    “Thest thing you want to do at a construction site is getting


    distracted, especially when you are collecting data!” he nagged.


    With Neil’s reminder, Taya quickly pushed her thoughts behind


    her and concentrated on following him around the construction


    site. N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    After jotting down the data, they began tomunicate with the


    project leader about the desired style of design.


    The second project that Rosalie took over was different from that


    of the NASA’s. She had gone back to designing totally ordinary


    buildings.


    What they wanted was amercial building with some special


    features. It would be used as an office building so Taya would be


    facing more limitations in the design.


    Taya listened carefully. She took notes and repeatedly discussed


    the style of design before ending the conversation with the project


    leader.


    She put away her notebook, then looked at Neil who was


    following her. He hadn’t interrupted the whole time. “Was I good enough this time, Mr. Sherwood?”


    Neil forced a smile out of his stiff mouth. “If I had to rate you out of


    ten, I would give you a three at most.”


    Holding the notebook in her arms, Taya nced at him


    speechlessly.


    Neil looked at the darkening sky and urged her. “Hurry up and


    book a hotel, I’m sleepy.”


    Taya looked at him. “Didn’t you bring your phone?”


    Cheekily, he replied, “I have no money.”


    She scoffed. “You are a dignified chief architect. How can you


    have no money?”


    At the mention of money, Neil was filled with resentment. “You managed to get your one million back,


    but I didn’t. How could I have any money?”


    Initially, she had lost more money than him, so he didn’t feel too


    bitter about it. Who knew that Griffon would only help Taya get her


    money back, and leave Neil to fend for himself?


    Looking at Neil’s petty behavior, Taya shook her head. “Mr.


    Sherwood, if you ever get mated, I’ll chop my own head off.”


    Unconvinced, Neil raised his chin. “If I do, I’ll chop your head off


    myself even if you don’t!”


    Taya didn’t bother responding. She took out her phone and powered it on. She was just about to book a


    hotel when a message popped up on her old WhatsApp ount.


    “Okay. When should we meet?”
