The moment they stepped out of the mansion, Eliza gently pushed Tanner away, she wanted to keep a distance from him.
“Thank you for saving me just now,” Eliza lowered her head as she spoke. His aura was so strong that she dared not look at him at all.
Even though she was avoiding eye contact, she could still feel his cold and sharp gaze on her.
“How are you going to thank me?” He asked.
Eliza gritted her teeth and replied, “I’ll treat you to a meal.”
That was the only thing she could do.
Her chin was suddenly held tightly by Tanner. He used a little bit of strength to make her look up directly into his eyes.
“I helped you get rid of your marriage with Michael, and that is the way you repay me?”
His gaze was so sharp, it made Eliza feel as if her heart was being squeezed by something. She was in a state of despair and panic.
She blinked her eyes in panic and managed to calm herself down. She stammered, “What else do you want, my future brother-in-law?”
The words ‘my future brother-in-law’ were enough to make sure that the possibility of them being in a relationship was zero.
Tanner frowned, and his deep eyes churned with a hint of sternness.
Eliza was too afraid to continue staring into his eyes. She shook off Tanner’s hand forcefully, turned around, and left.
Tanner stared at her slender and fragile back intensely, the expressions in his eyes were terrifyingly cold.
Eliza dared not turn back to look at him. Since her back was facing him, she quickened her pace and walked out of the villa. She found a taxi and quickly left the scene.
She dared not go back to the Francis’ or her own house. She thought for a long time and realized that the only place she could stay was Gracelynn’s house.
