Tanner ordered the driver to drive the car back to the villa located in the outskirts of the city.
She could not evade the unavoidable. Looking at the marriage certificate in her hands, Eliza was at a loss.
Just like that, the cold and lonely man beside her had become her husband.
Even though he had emphasized that he would be responsible for her in this marriage, she still felt greatly uncomfortable.
Perhaps it was due to the fact that her sister was not in good health, and that she often lived abroad, that he wanted to find someone to replace her…
However, what kind of position did she hold!
She might just be a substitute… But legally, she was his wife. Or rather, maybe he took her as her sister.
Her sister liked him so much. If she knew about this, Eliza could not imagine what would happen to her…
Eliza felt anxious. She frowned.
Tanner, on the other hand, was still as serious as ever. In reality, deep down, he was elated. After so many twists and turns, she was finally his.
It was precisely because of this joy in his heart that Tanner did not notice Eliza’s expression turning darker and darker.
They did not say anything to each other at all.
After returning to the villa, they got out of the car.
Tanner personally opened the car door for her, and told her to stand beside him. After that, he wrapped his large arm around her waist, and he used his other hand to take the marriage certificate from her hands.
“I’ll help you keep this.” There was not a hint of indifference or sarcasm. He spoke in a normal tone, and his lips were slightly curved upwards. It showed that he was in a good mood.
As Eliza looked at the document, she felt a little annoyed. She was so stressed that she could not say anything at all. She could only nod casually.
Tanner thought that she was just too tired, so he did not think much of it. He carried her into the house and told her to rest at home. After that, he returned to the study room and started to deal with the company’s documents.
……
Eliza looked around. All of this was supposed to be her sister’s. She did not belong there. At that moment, Eliza felt like a wild bird that had occupied another bird’s nest.
Now, she did not even know how to face her sister…
When it was lunchtime, Tanner was busy with work, so he did not go downstairs. However, he wanted Eliza to send him lunch.
“Mrs. Deleon, Mr. Deleon does not want us to disturb him when he is working. He asked for you to deliver his lunch personally to him later.”
“There is no need to wait. I will send it to him now,” Eliza spoke in a calm voice, her expression indifferent and distant.
The servants brought over another plate of food, and Eliza accepted it.
She turned around and went upstairs. It was not too far away, but it took her a long time to walk there.
She knocked on the door and entered.
Tanner was handling company affairs in front of the computer.
The suit jacket was casually laid on the back of the chair, and his handsome face had a serious expression. Tanner was greatly different from how he usually was.
However, Eliza was not in the mood to see how different he was. She just wanted to leave as soon as possible, as the air there was making her feel suffocated.
“You’ve sent it here so soon? Haven’t you eaten?”
Eliza placed the food beside him. As Tanner spoke, his gaze was still fixed on company documents.
Eliza did not speak. She turned around and was about to leave. Tanner stretched out his long arm and pulled her back.
“What’s wrong, are you in a bad mood?”
He could tell from her expressions that her thoughts were serious, but she stayed silent, lowering her head and not looking at him. Tanner exerted his strength, which Eliza tried her best to resist, but she could not defeat him. She was slowly pulled into his arms.
Even so, she still continued to keep her head down, frowning.
Tanner grabbed her chin and forced her to raise her head.
