However, it was far from the extent that he couldn't sleep or eat well.

He just felt uncomfortable because his original life was interrupted.

Griffin realized that he shouldn't have revealed this to Daphne, knowing that no woman would be pleased to hear it.

However, he couldn't bring himself to lie to her.

Stepping back, he regained his composure and said, "I'm sorry, Daphne.I can't give you what you want."

Including marriage and children.

A chilly gust of wind swept through the night.

This caused Daphne to shiver.

She wrapped her coat around herself, looking at Griffin under the moonlight.

The previous embarrassment and anger seemed to have dissipated.

"Mr.Reyes, what do you think you're doing?"Griffin fixed his gaze on her and uttered, "You're all dolled up tonight. Are you attending the banquet? With Edgar?"Summoning all her composure,Daphne replied, "Mr. Reyes, we have ended our relationship.
