Chapter 32 The Journey Begins
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 hade
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 epted 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 asionally 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-inw.
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 vi 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 arge open space behind. She saw a private ne. She did not know
much about nes, so she did not know what model it was. She only knew that it looked a little smaller
than a passenger ne.
Tanner was born to a wealthy family, so it was not surprising that he had a private ne. However,
even though she had lived there for a long time, she had never noticed it. She did not know whether he
was good at hiding things, or if she was just too unfamiliar with this ce.
The Deleon family’s private ne was usually in the vi, and some specialists regrly maintained it.
He helped her take a month of vacation. This was something he helped her with when he came back
the day before. The roar of the ne was so loud that it was easily exposed. He did not tell her where
they were going or what they were going to do there. He thought that she would take it as a
honeymoon surprise.
Eliza was a little curious. She had been thinking about this for a long time the night before, but she
could not figure out where Tanner was taking her. A private jet? What was he up to…
Tanner stood at the entrance of the cabin, waiting for her. The sunlight shone on him, and he was
bathed in so much sunshine that she could not open her eyes.
After staying in the same spot for some time, she thought that she should still send Penelope and
Gracelynn a text message. She informed them that she probably needed to leave for some time to find
more inspiration.
After that, she turned off her phone and walked towards him.
By the time they boarded the ne, she could see that theyout inside was very luxurious. There
were 10 seats in total, including single seats, a lengthened seat for many people, and even arge sofa
bed.
Food and drinks were all ready and avable on the ne. All of which had been carefully packed. The
entire kitchen, bathroom, telephone, and desk could be used too. There was everything on the ne!
Tanner walked up from behind and hugged her waist with one hand. Eliza was a little hesitant at such
body contact. Before she could break free from him, she felt him exerting force, and her body was
being controlled by the crook of his arms.
When their eyes met, his gaze was sharp. She frowned slightly. She thought that she had no right to
refuse his intimate actions, so she felt sad, but she did not resist.
Seeing how well-behaved she was, Tanner brought her to her seat. To help her get used to him and not
build up more resistance, he deliberately allowed her to sit on a single seat. After that, he used his
phone to send a departure order for the pilot before turning off his phone.
The two of them sat firmly in their seats, and the ne started to take off. The shaking during the
process of the ne taking off made her unconsciously straighten her back. She looked out of the
window, and the ne got farther and farther away from the ground. With that, she felt a little dizzy too.
In truth, she was scared of heights…
Tanner flipped through the information he had brought with him. He looked like he was very focused.
However, in reality, he did not read much. Eliza was sitting right next to him. So, from time to time, he
could not help but look at her from the corner of his eye.
He knew all too well just how nervous she was. He knew that she had a fear of heights. That was one
of the reasons why he used a private ne, as it was morefortable and stable. However, it still
seemed to be useless in the face of her fear.
After the ne steadied, Eliza was still motionless. She remained glued to the chair in her original
position. Tanner thought for a while, then he pulled her up from her seat.
Eliza’s legs were a little weak. He increased his strength when he embraced her, just like when they got
on the ne. Eliza looked at him as if she understood why he was carrying her like that to another
seat…
His powerful arms gave her a sense of security, and she felt some strength return to her feet. She
followed him, and they sat on the long leather seat.
Tanner forcefully made her lean against him. One of his hands hugged her tightly, while he held his
documents with his other hand. His gaze had never left the documents.
As Eliza leaned on his shoulder, she felt his strength. The fear in her heart dissipated a lot. The
situation reminded her of the kidnapping she sufferedst time. He was the same then. He did not
speak much. He gave her the feeling of security through his actions.
While she sat with his arm around her, she felt sleepy.

Tanner looked at the documents in his hand, but his attention was on Eliza. Only when he felt her body
slowly rx did he turn his gaze to her. He did not expect her to have fallen asleep so quickly.
He looked at her quiet, sleeping face and gently kissed her forehead. Tanner felt that this trip was not
wasted at all…
