The night before their departure, as dusk fell...
Tanner came to her door and raised his hand slightly, but he did not open the door. He heard from Ms. Bell that she had been very happy and in good spirits, even smiling at everyone. Now that he had come back, he was not sure whether she could even fall asleep or not.
He must not scare her anymore…
He knew that Eliza still hadn’t fully accepted him. However, he had never doubted his own abilities. No matter how much she rejected him, he would still be able to conquer her eventually.
He had full determination when it came to Eliza.
……
In the room, Eliza was lying on the bed. She tossed and turned restlessly.
She dared not tell anyone about her marriage to Tanner.
During this period, she did not dare say much when she occasionally contacted her mother. She only told her mother to take good care of herself before hanging up. Her mother was in a difficult situation in the Stone family. Eliza could not tell her that she had stolen her sister's lover and Marco's son-in-law.
As for Gracelynn… She heard that she had caught her husband having an affair again. However, Eliza was in deep trouble herself too, so she had no time to take care of her. Indeed, all men were pigs, be it Michael or Tanner…
When she thought of Tanner, her heart started to beat faster. She did not know where he was going to take her…
She looked out the window. There were no stars in the sky. Even the moon was not visible. Eliza suddenly felt that she was one with the night… It was all too dark!
……
The next day, as the sun rose.
The night before, Eliza slept poorly. She woke up early in the morning, her neck aching. She sat on the bed for some time before the maid knocked on the door to remind her to go down for breakfast.
As she opened the door, she happened to see Tanner, who came out at the same time as her.
"Did you have a good sleep?" He spoke with a hoarse voice, probably because he had just woken up.
"Yes," Eliza answered perfunctorily as she massaged her neck.
Tanner’s gaze, on the other hand, turned cold. A powerful pressure emanated from his body, and he made it impossible for her to ignore his existence. Eliza suddenly realized something, and she put her hands down guiltily.
Tanner did not say anything else. He took the lead in walking downstairs.
Eliza followed from behind, but she kept a measured distance between them.
Because of that little interaction, the two of them did not say anything during breakfast. The servants helped them bring their luggage down, and they were about to leave.
She followed Tanner to the backyard. Eliza had never been there before. Usually, she only wandered in the courtyard. Behind the villa was a forest with tall trees that blocked her sight. She could not see what was within.
As she breathed in the fresh air of the forest, rays of sunlight pierced through the gaps that were between the leaves. The chirping of birds could be heard from time to time. The scene in front of her was like a dream, and the forest in the backyard was beautiful too.
Through the woods, she saw a large open space behind. She saw a private plane. She did not know much about planes, so she did not know what model it was. She only knew that it looked a little smaller than a passenger plane.
