The Billionaire Alpha’s Contract Lover

Chapter 1817

Taya’s marriage to Griffon was something that the Lawrence pack’s people would inevitably be able to find out, but they never mentioned Griffon in front of her, including not asking about the pup in her belly.

Taya thought that the Lawrence pack didn’t care who her mated-wolf was, only about her, so no one brought it up.

Now that Matty had personally asked, she didn’t avoid the question. After pausing for a few seconds, Taya turned to face Matty. “He is important to me.”

Matty and Taya locked eyes across the small garden.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke. “I’ve checked, Griffon hasn’t been good to you. He almost caused your death for another woman. With a man like that, is he really important to you?”

“That was a misunderstanding from the past. We are mated now and have a pup. Let’s not dwell on the past.”

Their personal matters were not something outsiders had the right to comment on. Standing under the pear tree, bathed in the dim light of the streetlamp, her figure was somewhat blurry, but her determination was still evident.

“I can feel that you love him very much, but what about him?”

After a moment of contemplation, Taya looked at Matty under the lamplight, her eyes reflecting his weathered and puzzled face. “In your view, is it that only your love is true love, and others’ is not?”

Matty smiled faintly, walked across the cobblestone path, past a few small trees, and stood in front of Taya. “Someone once said that my love is twisted, I admit, but now it’s not about me, it’s about your

mated-wolf.”

Taya raised her chin slightly, staring into Matty’s resolute eyes. “Why do you think that you can interfere in my mated-wolf and my affairs just because I agreed to come back and acknowledge my family?”

“I have no right to interfere, but Taya, I just want to understand you inore, to care for you, without any ill intentions.”

His expression truly showed no malice. However, Taya clearly felt that Matty did not want her to be with Griffon.

“Dylan previously came to the Knight pack to discuss a marriage alliance, which shows that the Lawrence pack does not reject the Knight pack.”

If he didn’t know Griffon’ true identity, Matty would naturally be satisfied with Griffon. However, now they were essentially in a hostile relationship, each standing for their own members.

So, even if he was willing to let Griffon go for Taya’s sake, Erebus’s other partners would not agree.

And Griffon himself might not necessarily let go of past grievances, especially considering the many members of S that Erebus had killed.

Matty was a comprehensive thinker, so his decisions would be resolute, including when facing Taya. “I just said that I have checked your situation, and I cannot forgive him on your behalf.”

Taya didn’t show much emotion, and didn’t say anything. “I just came back to acknowledge my family, don’t meddle in my affairs.”

With that, Taya didn’t wait for Matty’s response, she turned and walked back into the house.

The back door slammed shut, cutting off Matty and the cold wind.

After standing there in a daze for a moment, the old butler came over with a blanket, draped it over him, and helped him back inside.

That night, Taya took her phone, found a storybook, and touched her belly, telling her pup a story before falling asleep. Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Matty, on the other hand, stayed up all night, looking at Sophia’s photo under the desk lamp, quietly contemplating the importance of what Taya had said.

The next day, Matty waited for Taya to wake up naturally, then instructed the butler to prepare a nutritious breakfast and bring a thick coat for her.

“Your two uncles and two brothers are waiting outside for you. Let’s go.”

Yesterday, when she arrived at the airport, Taya had already met Matty’s two sons, who were quite handsome and had a resemblance to Sumasa in their features.

In fact, Taya-preferred the way she interacted with the two uncles. They didn’t force themselves on her and genuinely cared for her in small ways, which was quite heartwarming.

They sat in the business-class seats, which were spacious, and the two uncles made her sit in the back seat, even fastening her seatbelt for her, and prepared snacks like hawthorn and preserved plums, in case she felt carsick.
