Chapter 381 Return And Reunion

• Unable to reach Griffon on his phone, Andre tried calling the bodyguards that went with him, but no one picked up either. By now, even Andre felt that something might have happened to Alpha. He hurried to an obscure corner to give Zack a call, but he also didn’t pick up. “It can’t be. They were just getting the pup back. It’s not possible that Alpha couldn’t get this done, right?” He wondered. “Could they be ambushed by Casare on their way back here?” Andre quickly contacted their men in Aronland, but they told him that the plane had already taken off. Andre checked the information on the private jet and learned that it had long stopped flying. However, its pa*sengers had yet to get off. Puzzled, he let the airport staff know who they were and brought Taya straight to the plane. Just as they were about to rush inside, a man who was nearly 6.3 feet tall emerged at the aircraft door, holding the hand of As if he had just woken up, his gaze was dreamy, and his flawless face was pallid. He also stood unsteadily. It was too dark to see his expression. However, seeing Griffon, Taya couldn’t help shedding tears. Standing where she was, she looked at the figure from a distance. The long wait made her feel like a century had pa*sed, and she was anxious to see him. For the first time, she rushed forward carelessly and threw her arms around Griffon, “You scared me to death! I thought something happened to you.” Griffon grunted and paled, but raised his hands and pulled her into his chest. Hugging her tight, he said in a low voice, “I promised you that I would be back after two days, so I would surely make it.” As he had promised her, no one could stop him from returning, no matter what that person did to him! Holding him, Taya smelled the familiar scent of cedarwood on him and gradually relaxed, “Why didn’t you answer my calls?” She wanted to look up at him, but his hand held her head down from behind. “Why is he not letting me raise my head?” She wondered. Griffon held her head to his chest and said huskily, “I guess your niece was too noisy, and I didn’t hear my phone ringing.!” Standing beside him, Grace looked up and quietly threw him. an odd look. It was only when he mentioned Grace that Taya shifted her attention to her. When she saw that chubby girl had suddenly lost weight, her heart ached. She quickly let go of Griffon, squatted down, and held Grace’s small face. “Grace, why have you lost so much weight?” Seeing her aunt, Grace parted her lips and wanted to say something, but didn’t do so in the end. Seeing Grace with her head down, quietly playing with the doll in her hands, Taya was deeply saddened. “Forced by Casare to play the shooting game and having to witness the death of her father, she must have been overwhelmed, and that’s why she’s become so quiet.” She thought. Griffon braced his trembling body and explained, “She’s been traumatized and needs to see a shrink.” After Casare forced Amon to kill himself, he had also become cruel to Grace. He locked the crying pup inside a small cage in a dark room for the past few days, only giving her a little food. and water. If Griffon hadn’t come in time, Grace might not have lasted more than three days. Hearing what happened to Grace, Taya felt so bad for her that she held her tightly between her arms and comforted. Grace as she patted her back, “Grace, from now on you will stay with me. I’ll take good care of you, and I won’t let anyone harm you ever again.” Grace’s long and curly eyelashes moved slightly, but she made no verbal response. As if her inner world had crumbled, she had turned from a lively, chubby girl into a withdrawn pup. Seeing her like this, Taya felt very sorry for her. She lovingly held Grace up, and as she rose, she saw Griffon had suddenly put on a heavy coat. Suspicious, she looked at him carefully and saw his face was bloodless. Alarmed, she asked him what was wrong. Griffon held a fist to his mouth and coughed, “It was windy. Probably I caught a cold…” He then pointed his chin at Andre who stood in a daze beside him, “Carry the pup.” Taya wanted to tell him to let her carry Grace, but the little girl struggled to get off her and stretched out her arms toward Andre. Grace was already an obedient pup before this, and now she was even more eager to do what they told her. Seemingly afraid that they would abandon her, Grace didn’t dare to cause them any trouble and had keenly observed them.
