The atmosphere at the dinner table felt very tense. Almost all of the Styles family were gathered tonight, except for John and his wife who were out of town.
Harry, who rarely goes home for dinner nowadays, joins for dinner. Harry had no other choice. He had to join, at least he needed a moment to talk to Taylor, who had only been silent while lowering her head.
Gemma, who for the first time rejoined for dinner, just stared around in confusion, before returning to continue eating, as if nothing had happened between them.
Occasionally, Harry would steal glances at Taylor. Harry could clearly see the sadness in Taylor's eyes and Harry deeply regretted his actions. If Taylor hadn't clearly avoided him, maybe Harry would've pulled Taylor into his warm arms, telling Taylor how sorry he was for the stupidity he had done.
When the atmosphere was completely silent around them, Taylor suddenly rose from her seat, making all eyes turn towards her. Taylor bit her lower lip to find herself the center of attention right now.
"I'm sorry, please continue your dinner. I'll be at my room." Taylor said, smiling slightly before turning around and leaving the dining room just like that.
Harry sighed in frustration at Taylor's treatment. Yes, Harry knows, that he certainly deserves this kind of treatment from Taylor. In fact, Harry's frustration doesn't compare to how much he caused pain and hurt Taylor.
"Taylor booked a plane ticket to return to Nashville tomorrow." Anne suddenly said, making everyone in the whole table quiet all at once. Harry choked. What? Nashville? What the hell?!
Harry still remembers clearly when he and Taylor got separated first. Taylor returned to Nashville and never returned to London again, before fate finally brought them together and made them meet at a party. But that was the past and everything is different right now. In the past, they did split up because they were only dating. There wasn't any commitment at all between them. But now? How can that be! Taylor is now Harry's wife. Whatever Taylor will do, she must get Harry's permission. They both swore an oath to that.
Shortly thereafter, Harry rose from his chair as well. Without saying anything, Harry turned and quickly walked to their bedroom.
When he arrived at their room that happened to be unlocked, Harry found Taylor tidying her things up. Harry's heart sank. Harry walked into the room and at that moment, Taylor turned, who was aware of the presence of someone behind her.
For the first time since what had happened in Harry's office, their eyes finally met. Harry could clearly see Taylor's eyes filled with tears. She cried, again.
"Tay, I–" Before Harry could continue his words, Taylor had cut off him off and her turned back away from him, continuing to tidy up her belongings.
"Don't say anything that will just make this situation worse, and I don't want to hear it."
"Don't leave, please." Harry stepped forward, approaching Taylor. Taylor ignored and tried to focus on tidying her things.
Without looking a bit at Harry, Taylor said, "Didn't we made a deal some time ago? If any of us breaks our vows and breaks our promise to each other, why are we even going to bother to stay?"
Harry took Taylor's arm softly, "Tay, listen to me. . ." Taylor shook her head and pulled her arm away from his grip. Taylor smiled sadly.
"Why didn't you say everything from the beginning? You hid that entire girl's existence from me. I tried to believe you. But you destroyed and broke my trust. I don't know what I did to deserve this kind of treatment from you. If you really don't love–"
