"What are you talking about?" Frank abruptly stood up. Zack turned to Frank, only for Frank to sit back down in fear. After that, Zack turned to Tara and tried to touch her head as he said, "I hope he didn't hurt you, my lovely cat," but once again Tara dodged his touch.
Cain had been noticing how Zack kept trying to act all affectionate and possessive in front of everyone whenever it came to Tara, and it truly infuriated him. Still, he restrained himself as he tried to look elsewhere other than where Zack was.
Tara took a few bites of the food before saying calmly, "Patriarch, I'm done eating. Can I take my leave?" She stood up as she spoke.
Zack held her hand and looked at Tara as their eyes met. He then said, "My beloved cat, I came to fulfill my promise," he said softly with a smile.
Tara's eyes widened as her whole body stiffened. Her mouth opened and closed as she tried to say something, but nothing could come out.
