Chapter 17
“Eliza, what would you like for dinner tonight?”
Julian pushed the shopping cart as they walked through the supermarket.
Eliza smiled and named a few dishes, Julian agreeing to each one.
With a smile reaching his eyes, he tightened his grip on her hand.
They left the supermarket with bags full of groceries.
‘I want to the shop first to prepare the coffee beans for tomorrow,” she said, swinging their joined hands. “Care to join me, Mr. Artist?”
Julian kissed her forehead. “Of course.”
Their sweet moment together was captured entirely by another pair of eyes.
Suddenly, Liam stepped forward and yanked Eliza into his arms, his eyes full of possessiveness.
‘Liza!” He gripped her shoulders tightly, jealously kissing her forehead.
‘How could you! How could you let another man touch you!”
‘Liza, how could you do this to me!”
Liam’s eyes were bloodshot, his heart twisting in pain.
‘Do you even know how much it tore me up watching you kiss him?”
He held her in his arms like a madman, refusing to let go despite her struggles.
Liam kissed her lips as if trying to erase every trace the other man had left.
‘Liza, you’re mine. You can only be mine…”
She saw the panic in her own reflection in Liam’s dark eyes.
“Let her go!” Julian stepped forward, landing a hard punch on Liam’s face.

The blow made Liam loosen his grip. Eliza immediately broke free and rushed into Julian’s arms.
“Julian,” she said, tears streaming down her face. Julian protectively pulled her behind him, holding her hand tightly.
Liam wiped the blood from his lip, his eyes full of rage.
“Liza.” Eliza quickly covered her ears, refusing to hear anything he had to say.
“Liza, please, don’t be like this.” Seeing her rejection, Liam felt as if a sword had pierced his heart.
“You’re killing me…”
“Liza, just look at me once, please, I’m begging you.” The man abandoned all pride and dignity, pleading with her.
Eliza simply closed her eyes. Seeing her distress, Julian pulled her tightly against him.
“Liam, leave her alone.”
Julian’s usually gentle face turned cold. “Haven’t you hurt her enough? What right do you have to come looking for her?”
Liam ignored him, his eyes fixed only on Eliza in Julian’s arms, his gaze filled with anguish.
Julian said nothing more. He lifted Eliza in his arms, hailed a taxi, and carried her inside.
He tenderly kissed the corner of her eye, whispering comforting words as the taxi drove away, leaving Liam standing alone.
He stared in the direction they’d gone, his heart shattered.
So this was how she had felt watching him carry Maya away.
Had he known then, he would never have let Maya set foot in the Harris home!
“Eliza, are you okay?”
Eliza opened her eyes to find herself lying on a soft bed. Julian’s worried face relaxed slightly when
he saw her awake.
“Julian…” She rubbed her eyes as he brought a mug to her lips.

“Don’t think about it. Drink some water.”
Eliza nodded and took the mug.
Muffin immediately nuzzled her palm, meowing urgently.
“This little one has been waiting for you to wake up!” Julian tapped the cat’s head, then looked at he
tenderly.
“I made your favorite vegetable porridge. Promise me you’ll rest well and not overthink things,
okay?”
Eliza looked into his gentle eyes, her heart pounding in her chest.
“I’ve already contacted the delivery people for the shop. After you finish your porridge, I’ll go take
care of everything.”
“Rest well, my Eliza.”
He kissed her lips, lingering for a long moment before reluctantly pulling away.
“I’ll go get the porridge.”
Julian smiled and went downstairs, completely missing how Eliza’s face turned bright red after he
left.
