Chapter 714
Without saying a word, the two neared Gmissta.
The man in the wheelchair stared at the engraved name in
a daze for a while and said in a low voice, “I wanted to build something like this before…”
He wanted to build a place that belonged to him and Taya and named it after them, like Smissta …
The names of Smissta and Gmissta both showed how much they missed and loved Taya.
Silas understood the meaning of the building’s name and curled his lips into a bitter smile, feeling
suffocated.
Seeing someone who was once vigorous becoming so thin and fragile, Harper felt sorry for him, “Have
you had a rough time lately?”
Silas shook his head again, “I’ve been doing great.”
Pushing the wheelchair, Camille frowned in indignation, “Mr. Sterling, that’s not true. You-”
Sila s’s face fell, “Shut up!”
Unable to express his concern, Camille could only keep quiet.
Seeing this, Harper could tell that Silas must have been devastated after losing Taya.
After all, he loved Taya so much and could not be with her
now.

man’s eyes red again.
Silas pushed the wheelchair himself to the center of the “universe”, “Did Griffon Knight propose to her
here?”
Surprised, Harper wondered how he could guess correctly, “How did you know?”
Silas let out a half-smile but did not answer. He knew because
if he were to propose to her, he would get down on his knee
there as well.
“How wonderful it is to get down on one’s knee in the center of the universe, the most important and
beautiful place, and ask his beloved if she would mate him!” He thought.
After sitting there for a long time, he lowered his gaze to the
pink flowers all over the floor.
He remembered that Taya used to like red roses, and wondered if she preferred this type of rose now.
“Well, as time goes by, one’s preference is bound to change, just as no one would wait for the same
person forever…”
With that in mind, Silas looked at the surrounding auroras.
His gloomy eyes slowly lost their focus as he remembered the past…
She once held his arm with both hands and said, “Silas, promise me that you’ll take me to see the
auroras when we are thirty, okay?”
At that time, he put down his pen and raised his hand to scratch the bridge of her nose, “Why must we
wait until the age of thirty?”
Pointing to the piles of books on the desk, she said, “Look at all these books. By the time you finish
college, get a master’s degree, and a Ph.D., you’ll probably be thirty years old, so I could only make an
appointment with you in advance…”
As the young girl in front of him had complained several times that he had been neglecting her for his
studies, Silas gave her an indulgent smile, “You don’t have to wait until we’re both thirty. Once I get the
scholarship, I’ll buy the tickets and we’ll go see the auroras. You can start thinking now about which
country you want to go to.”
When the girl heard that he was going to take her to see the
aurora, she quirked her eyebrows and smiled happily, “It
doesn’t matter which country I go to, as long as you’re by my side.”
But later, he forgot to take her to see the auroras for the sake of his matches, and she didn’t blame him
for it.
Thinking about it now, he hoped that she would not be so sensible. If she had blamed him more often,
perhaps he would be the one who saw the auroras with her instead of Griffon.
Silas smiled, but his tears suddenly rolled down despite

himself.
“What a joke! What right do I have in remembering the past? I was the one who kept her waiting…” He
blamed himself
inwardly.
She had asked him many times, “Silas, when are you going to mate me and give me a home?”
He always used the excuse of giving her a better life in the future and didn’t take the initiative to
propose to her.
It never occurred to him that what Taya wanted was not a wealthy life.
All she wanted from the beginning to the end was complete devotion and a home filled with love.
Realizing that by now, Silas slumped in the wheelchair with a pale face.
He raised his fingers to cover his eyes, but the lips under his high-bridged nose slowly parted.
“Harper, don’t tell her that I’ve been here…”
He knew that Taya had found a man who could not only give her a home but was also willing to die for
her.
He, however, was just a young man who used to keep her
waiting in the past, and he thought it was best for him to
remain so forever.
