Chapter 2 I’ll Marry You
Blood drained from her face and Eliza’s face turned pale at once. When she came back to her senses,
she immediately pushed the man on top of her away.
"Michael, this is a misunderstanding!" Eliza’s face was ashen as she tried to explain.
Tanner, on the other hand, only glanced at Michael, who seemed to be frozen from the shock. There
was even a hint of mockery in his eyes.
“What happened?” The commotion made Michael’s mother, Maisy, come over. When she saw the
situation in the room, she screamed, “Eliza, what on earth are you doing?! How could you…”
Her face was full of disbelief. Her shrill voice pierced through Eliza’s eardrums and her heart clenched
even more.
"This..." She wanted to explain, but she could not find the words to say anything in her defense.
Michael closed his eyes in pain, and he said something that made Eliza feel even more terrible inside.
“Eliza, we just got married yesterday. How could you cheat on me with your own brother-in-law?”
Eliza grabbed the quilt tightly as she said in a hoarse voice, "I didn't..."
However, when she looked down at her half-naked body…
Tears streamed down her face. What on earth happened the night before? How did she end up in bed
with her brother-in-law?
“Why are you crying?” Tanner’s mellow voice could suddenly be heard from above. He was calm and
composed. His tone was still as casual as it usually was. He spoke as if it was a jolly good day with
perfect weather.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
"At worst, I’ll marry you."
This sentence was like a giant boulder splashing into the water, stirring giant waves in Eliza’s mind, and
completely messing up her thoughts once more.
"What did you just say?"
First of all, he was in a relationship with her sister. Second, she just got married the night before! Her
newlywed husband was standing right in front of them too. How could he say such irresponsible
words?
However, the man who said such mind boggling words just looked cold and indifferent. He was like a
heartless machine. He stood upright and elegantly next to the bed as he slowly buttoned his white shirt.
“If you need anything, come look for me. I will be responsible for you. I will even marry you.” The man
finished buttoning up the last button as he said that.
He tilted his head and his deep gaze fell on Eliza’s body as he enunciated each word, “Remember
that.”
After that, he walked past Michael and Maisy calmly.
His actions caused the whole room to fall into a strange and deathly stillness.
Eliza had never witnessed something as dramatic as this in her life, much less experience it firsthand.
After what seemed like an eternity, Maisy came back to her senses. She asked Eliza in a sharp and
mean voice, “What happened last night? How could you do something so shameless as this? You are
bringing shame to the Francis and Stone family!”
Eliza lowered her head. Her face was still deathly pale, but she could not say anything at all.
In truth, she did not know what happened the night before either.
Maisy was going insane with rage. After pacing half a circle in the room, she suddenly took out her
phone.
“I must inform your parents of this. I will call them over and demand an explanation from them!”
Eliza suddenly looked up and blurted out, “No!”
Her parents must never find out about this…
Her position in the Stone family was awkward, to say the least. Her mother, Penelope, remarried and
brought her along with her. Due to that, she did not have a strong foothold in the Stone family, so she
was usually very careful with what she did.
One year after her family introduced her to Michael, her stepfather, Marco, urged them to get married
because the Stone family’s business was failing, and they needed a marriage alliance with the Francis
family to overcome the crisis.
If she got divorced on the first day of their marriage, not only would her mother die from anger, she
would completely lose her status in the Stone family.
She could not let her mother get into trouble because of her mistakes…
“Please don’t tell my mother. Michael, I’m begging you.” She looked up with tears in her eyes, as she
begged in a low voice.
Michael looked down at her and his expression changed. After a while, he said, "Eliza, I can agree to
keep last night's matter a secret, but you have to agree to one condition."
