Chapter 7 I Like Your Body
Eliza stopped dead in her tracks, she held her breath against the cold and oppressive feeling. Her heart
was beating wildly, she dared not look back.
She wanted to ask him what he wanted, but it felt like she had lost her voice, she could not say
anything at all!
Her chaotic mind was spinning wildly, and a thought flashed in her mind. Was Tanner always this strong
and cold in front of her sister?
Eliza’s mind was a mess. Her body suddenly felt warm. She belatedly realized that it was because of
Tanner. He had taken off his coat to cover her body.
It was only at that moment she suddenly remembered that several buttons of her shirt were unbuttoned
and the rest of her clothes were in a mess too.
Tanner placed his jacket on her, and his deep and steady voice could be heard in Eliza’s ear.
“I’ll repeat the same thing I told you before. If you need me, come to me. I will marry you.”
The words “marry you” were like thunder in Eliza’s ears.
She was stunned, but by the time she came back to her senses, she had already been stuffed into
Tanner’s car. He was sitting beside her and staring at her with his deep eyes.
Eliza stared back at him alertly and asked warily, “What are you going to do?”
Tanner withdrew his gaze and turned his head to the other side as if he was staring at the scenery
outside the window before he said, “I am going to send you home.”
Eliza glanced at his perfect side profile. It looked as if it were carved by God himself. Her heart was
beating fast, and she quickly lowered her eyes.
The atmosphere quieted down, and it stayed that way for a long time.
She still could not help but ask, “Tanner, what about my sister?”
If he married her, then what was her sister supposed to do? The two of them were childhood
sweethearts. This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.
Tanner did not turn back, he did not even hesitate to reply, “I will consider her matters after you agree
to marry me.”
Eliza frowned, feeling that his answer was too perfunctory.
They had been friends ever since they were young, how could he say such things so casually?
She stared at her fingers that were gripping her knees and said slowly, “I won’t marry you.”
Throughout the years, even though she and her mother’s position in the Stone family was awkward,
Raelyn had never treated her badly. She would even share half of the good things she received with
her when they were young. She could never do such an ungrateful thing to her.
Tanner immediately tilted his head. His gaze was threatening as he stared at the little woman who had
her head lowered.
liza could feel his gaze. She unconsciously tightened her fingers and continued the silent and stubborn
posture of hers.
“Why do you think I want to marry you?” He suddenly said, his voice was icy cold like white mist was
practically wafting from his mouth with every word he spoke. The cold atmosphere he radiated was
mind-numbing.
Eliza’s fingers that were on her knees tightened, and she bit her lips.
Then, she heard his cold voice sneering at her, “Do you think I like you?”
This question was asked with a hint of rejection and sarcasm. It was like a sharp knife slowly slicing
into Eliza’s heart. She admitted it hurt her pride, making her feel suffocated and humiliated.
“Stop dreaming,” The imposing man uttered clearly. Each word was a sharp thorn. “I just think that you
are similar to that sister of yours, and I want you to be her substitute. You know that her body is weak,
and she has to stay abroad for a long time.”
Eliza’s body completely stiffened.
A substitute...
She had no blood relations with Raelyn, but it was very strange. Their facial features were so similar. If
one did not look carefully, it could be said that they were almost identical.
“Besides…” After he had ruthlessly hurt Eliza’s heart countless times, he still felt that it was not enough,
so he continued to hurt her. “I like your body.”
