The dishes had all been served, and the servants went upstairs to tell Tanner dinner was ready.

However, Eliza was still huddling on the sofa, either thinking of the message or that Nicholas was still in the restaurant alone. She didn't even notice Tanner had come down while she was on the phone.

He swiftly got behind Eliza and peremptorily snatched her phone away.

He couldn't believe she was still thinking about that man and even called him now that she was home!

Checking the phone, he saw the name was saved as 'Nicholas Abbott'.

Tanner let out a barely noticeable sigh of relief. He would most probably flip if she had saved some weird nickname. The self-control he had always been so proud of was nothing in front of her.

What was worse, she never realized his love for her growing up, thinking his heart had always belonged to Raelyn.

"Dinner's ready." With that, he ended the call in front of her.

A strange feeling arose in Nicholas's heart as he listened to the noise on the other end of the line, but he couldn't put a word to it, probably a flirtatious strike from a couple to this bachelor.

Knowing that his appetite wouldn't come back to him anytime soon, he decided to head home. After saying goodbye to the owner and paying for the meal, he left.

Back in the mansion, Eliza was dumbfounded when Tanner appeared out of nowhere. The next thing she knew, he called her over for dinner, hung up her call, and tossed her phone back to her. Only bossy, outrageous, and domineering could be used to describe the entire process.

Of course, Tanner wouldn't admit he deliberately said what he had, letting the man on the other end of the line know she was his.

No longer paying attention to her, he took his seat at the dining table.

Eliza was rather upset. She had only wanted to express her gratitude to her savior, but he acted as though she had done the heinous.

He probably wasn't like this in front of his sister. He wouldn't act so arbitrarily, considering Raelyn's feelings, just like how he did to her in Ball Island.

Thinking back, that attentive, gentle man was a completely different person from the bossy, tyrannical man in front of her. Reminiscing Ball Island, it felt as though it happened a century ago.

The heart wrenching feeling was unbearable. Picking up her phone, she headed upstairs. She didn't have an appetite away, and the two of them would only feel uncomfortable if she went to the dining table.

At the dining table, Tanner had wanted to make her realize she was his wife and that she should consciously keep her distance from other men when she came over.

However, she never came after waiting for some time.

Looking back, she was no longer there.

Already in the fit of anger, suppressing as hard as he could, even his patience had worn off right then.

He had never felt so confounded in his life before. There would be times when he'd go mad as well!

Putting the cutleries down, a crisp clink could be heard as they hit the plate.

Tanner got up and headed upstairs.

Standing aside, Ms. Bell could see his frighteningly gruesome expressions, somewhat savage even. Though he was intimidating, making people feel tyrannized even if he just stood there, he had never seen him fuming before.

Eliza had gone upstairs a while ago… Watching as he went up as well, she grew worried.

Eliza locked the door as soon as she entered her bedroom, but she knew it was useless as he had all the keys to the house after all.
