Chapter 1708
Matty didn’t ask further when he saw that Taya seemed
unsure. Instead, he walked around the desk, sat down on a
chair, and looked at Taya across from him while holding his
coffee.
“I want to build an estate.”
Finally getting to the point, Taya quickly grabbed her
notebook and pen, ready to take notes.
“Mr. Lawrence, please go on.”
Based on the description from his old friend in his memory,
Matty slowly told Taya…
“A white cottage with a garden filled with tulips. Under an arched bridge, there is a fish pond with
goldfish swimming around. And in the backyard, there will be fruit trees…”
After hearing this, Taya thought it was going to be a challenging commercial building to design, but she
didn’t expect it to be such a simple family residence. She found it a

“Mr. Lawrence, an ordinary designer can handle this kind of

project. Why did you specifically choose me?”
Dylan took another sip of coffee and said, “My young lover once told me that if she had a daughter, she
would build a house like this for her.”

“What about your daughter?”
“I didn’t have a daughter!”
Matty thought for a moment. If Sumasa were still alive, she
would probably look like their daughter with Sophia. After
thinking about it, Matty couldn’t help but observe Taya again.
The woman in front of him also resembled Sumasa, just not as
much.
Taya wanted to ask why Matty would build such a house if his first love didn’t have a daughter. Was it
to make up for the regret? But then she realized that everyone has their own story. As an outsider, she
should just design according to the employer’s request and not ask too many questions.
Therefore, she didn’t say anything more, and Matty didn’t reveal any more about his past. After a
moment of silence between them, Taya put away her notebook.
“Well, Mr. Lawrence, I’ll go find Dylan and have him take me to survey the construction site. I won’t
bother you any longer.”

This kind of task would naturally be Dylan’s responsibility, so there was no need to ask Matty. However,
Matty stopped her.
“The site is right next to us. I’ll take you there.”
Taya was a bit surprised that Matty would personally take her there.
They entered from the backyard and crossed several lawns. until they arrived at a barren land with an
orchard. Matty pointed at the land and told Taya what style he wanted and how big the building should
be. Taya noted everything down.

Neil stay for dinner.
Taya declined, worried that Griffon might be waiting impatiently. “Mr. Lawrence, maybe next time. I
have some other things to attend to today.”
After a few seconds of silence, Matty nodded slightly. “Since you’re busy, then until next time.”
There probably wouldn’t be a next time. Once the design. drawings were done, she would just have
Neil send them to Dylan. However, Taya didn’t say that and bid a polite farewell.
She returned from the backyard feeling relaxed, and Neil, who had been anxious, finally relaxed when
he saw that Dylan was

still there. He didn’t interrogate Taya about the situation.

After handing over the notebook to Neil, Taya greeted Dylan, “Dylan, I’m done talking with your
grandfather. When the drawings are ready, I’ll have my assistant send them to you.”
After he replied with a “good,” Dylan looked at her thoughtfully and asked, “If you don’t mind me asking,
what is your relationship with Mr. Knight?”
