Griffin fastened his seatbelt.He beamed at her as he cupped her cheek.”Who said this is going to be used on you?My dear,are you thinking about having sex with me?”Daphne eyed him.He sat up straight and looked ahead.Griffin coughed,lightly and said.”But you are looking forward to tonight,Daphne.Don’t lie.I’m the best man you’ve ever been with.”He was the only man she had ever been with,sexually but so far,she couldn’t deny that he was indeed the best man.Not only was he capable of eliciting different feelings from her,simply being with him was always so exciting.Daphne didn’t say anything but the way she blushed let him know the answer.Everything else fell into place.When it came to Daphne and Griffin,they didn’t need to say much.Just a look was enough to know each others desire.When they walked into Griffin’s house, he wrapped his arms around Daphne’s body from behind,her waist was especially thin and he liked it.He pressed her against the wall and asked,softly.“The living r
Jacob’s fist were clenched tightly in anger.“Jacob,you aren’t eating.”Lucia let out.A piece of pork chop was placed in his bowl,Griffin gently advised.”Recently,I’ve noticed you’ve lost a lot of weight,you should eat more or else Lucia will be heartbroken.”Lucia yelled.”I’m not heartbroken!”Jacob’s anger intensified.Griffin smiled and then said to his sister.”In a while,I’ll take you to see the fireworks and then we’ll take pictures to show Daphne.”Lucia was happy hearing that.She turned to Jacob and said.”Jacob,you’ll take the pictures for us.Remember to make my brother look handsome,I want Daphne to fall even more in love with him.”Jacob’s face paled.“I gave Daphne a ring today.”Griffin announced.Jacob was about to explode with anger.Soon,Griffin set off a lot of fireworks in the Reyes Family’s mansion.Lucia took a small one and circled around him,her face bright and colorful.Daphne received a call from him.“Good evening,Daphne.”Daphne leaned against the window.She g
The atmosphere was a little subtle.Daphne understood Griffin and she was afraid that he would be upset.She didn’t realize that he wasn’t upset.Instead, he walked over to her and asked,softly.“What’s going on?”Daphne shook her head.She looked into his eyes needing him to see that he could fully trust her.Griffin smiled and turned back to Anthony.“Dad,this is Daphne,my girlfriend.”He officially introduced.He was holding onto her hand,tightly.Anthony was over 50 years old and well-maintained,and from the looks of it,Griffin mostly took after his father.Daphne respectfully greeted the older man.Anthony slowly descended the stairs.Magda smiled and said.”Anthony,aren’t you going to say anything?I already see Daphne here as our daughter-in-law.”Anthony remained quiet.On Lucia’s birthday,he knew Griffin had brought Daphne but Griffin didn’t introduce her to him so he figured that she might be one of his call girls.But now,Griffin had officially introduced Daphne to him and was
Anthony slowly finished his cup of tea.He looked at his son and then at Daphne.He softly spoke.”The two of you, come with me to the study.”A moment later,Daphne followed Griffin to the study which was located on the second floor.Obviously,Anthony wasn’t in a good mood either.However,he was gentle when he looked at Daphne and spoke casually as if she was a family member.Daphne,please make us some tea please.”Daphne was slightly surprised.But she wasn’t stupid,and she guessed that this warmth from Anthony would inevitably require her to make some sacrifices and concessions.Daphne made the tea in peace and silent.Anthony didn’t say anything while Daphne made tea.He slightly surveyed the girl.The drooping eyebrows and gentleness in her physique,she looked very educated, so much better than Renee.Anthony was quite fond of Daphne and he could see that his son was so much in love with this girl.He didn’t want anything to ruin their relationship but Owen risked his life to save Lu
Daphne didn’t ask him what time he would be back on the phone.When it came to Renee,she had a few moments of pride and self- respect.At eight in the evening,Magda was especially apologetic when Daphne left holding her dog.Daphne smiled, lightly.”It’s fine.Everything’s fine.”She assured the older woman.But she knew in her own heart that she had been nothing but bitter since Griffin left.In the car,the driver didn’t drive immediately and the rear door was pulled open instead.Jacob appeared on the night.The driver was very sensible so he remained quiet.Jacob held onto the roof of the car and looked at Daphne.“I have something to say to you.”Daphne was originally in a bad mood and didn’t want to care about him at all.Jacob caught her arm and forcefully dragged her out of the car.The night wind was strong.Daphne stared at him dead in the face,Jacob lowered his head and lit a cigarette.As the smoke rose,he looked at her.“After this, do you still want to be with him?This kind
“Daphne.”Daphne turned around and saw Griffin standing under the roiling neon.A clear and noble body that even the most radiant light couldn’t hide for half a second.After a long time,Daphne asked very slowly.“Are you done with business?”Griffin nodded.He took the car keys from her hand and said very gently.“You’re in a bad shape.I’ll drive.”Daphne didn’t object.Once in the car, he asked her.” my place or yours?”Daphne leaned on the seat and said,tiredly.”Murphy is at my place.You can take me back to my place and go home yourself.”Griffin felt her coldness and frowned,slightly.Instead of showing his displeasure though,he said thoughtfully.”We’ll spend the night at your place then,and later you can rest up while I go skate.”Daphne didn’t refuse.She figured that to object would backfire and make her look too petty.Griffin seemed to be eager to talk to her.“I saw you dining with Miss Lee.She doesn’t look well.”Daphne nodded and told him what Vanessa was going through.Whe
Daphne lowered her head and sighed.The corners of her eyes were moist and her pretty nose was slightly red.Nora’s heart ached as she watched.She reached out to straighten Daphne’s coat for him.“If you love him so much,then fight for him.But at the same time,I’m scared that you might waste your time fighting for him.”Daphne swallowed hard.Nora patted her and said,softly.”Go on.Drive slowly.”Daphne hugged Nora and turned to get into the car.************Daphne drove to the hospital and picked up her father’s medication.She hadn’t expected to run into Renee at the hospital.A little nurse pushed her in a wheelchair and took a walk outside.Renee didn’t look very well indeed,her face was pale, her originally delicate body was now thin,and her hospital gown was empty over her body.Daphne looked at Renee.Renee inclined her face to look at her as well.Though Renee is haggard,the vigorous look is still there.Daphne decided to ignore her and started walking away.But Renee stopped h
“I know things with Renee hasn’t been easy.And we’re not particularly fair on you.So I think you should go abroad for a while.If you and Griffin are meant to be,you’ll surely find your way back to each other.”Anthony continued.Daphne’s body went cold.She wasn't an uneducated person, she understood what Anthony meant.The friendship between the two families, Reyes and Smith, will not be broken because of her.So, she can only be condescended to.She had to leave so Renee won't stop making so much trouble and Griffin can also suffer less.The arrangement was quite considerate for everyone except her.She was the one who has to make the big sacrifice.The only one who was going to be far away was her,Daphne!Daphne forgot to breathe in pain!The large, luxurious office fell into a long, long silence. Anthony did not rush, he seemed to treat this girl with endless patience.Finally, Daphne raised her head.With difficulty she said, "I'll have to think about it."When she got up, she was
