A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Chapter 31 Honeymoon

There were mixed feelings in Eliza’s heart. She could not stand him at all. Why must he force her?!

"Tanner, you can't do this to me." Her voice was trembling, but that only excited him even further.

“Nothing is impossible.” Tanner’s voice was hoarse, his breathing gradually turned heavier.

Eliza still wanted to say something else, but he did not want to hear it anymore. He kissed her

passionately to seal her lips. He left her no chance to refuse.

He held her in his arms and took her to the bed, his long legs leading the way. He then placed her on

the bed and leaned forward once more.

But, after that, he stopped.

That was because he saw how red Eliza’s eyes were. There was grievance and anger in her eyes.

"Tanner, I hate you!" She said.

When she said that, Eliza’s eyes were filled with disgust. That sentence was so harsh too!

He finally compromised. Eliza was his weakness, so her disgust towards him hurt him.

He slowly let her go, and then, he turned around and went into the bathroom.

……

That night, Eliza sat on the sofa in the living room. She did not sleep for the entire night. The other

person who did not sleep was Tanner. He sat in the study room.

For the next few days, there was almost zero communication between the two of them. Eliza felt a Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

pang of unexplainable guilt which made her feel more and more reluctant to be with him.

Tanner had thoughts about easing the tension between them. However, he did not want to make her

cry again.

……

One day, Tanner went on a business trip. He wanted to tell her about it himself. However, that day,

Eliza had left early. Sometimes he even wondered if she stayed out for an entire night.

A maid helped him pack the clothes for his business trip. Before he left, he asked Ms. Bell to tell Eliza

that he would not be around and that she needed to take care of herself.

……

After she finished working for an entire day, Eliza came back. She had thought about running away.

But, no matter what, she knew that she could not escape. Tanner was too powerful and influential.

Running away would just be a boring game of cat and mice to him. It would be meaningless.

It was already dark, and she needed to face him again.

She entered the house, and Ms. Bell was waiting for her. To avoid Tanner, she had been eating outside

for the past few days. At this point, logically speaking, they should already have left her alone and

returned to their own rooms.

"Aunt Bell, what happened?"

Eliza had a good impression of her. When she saw her abnormal behavior, she became worried.

“Mr. Deleon has asked me to tell you that he will be going on a business trip and will be away for a few

days. He told me to let you know that you should take good care of yourself. It is getting late, and you

should rest earlier.” After Aunt Bell finished conveying the message, she left.

He left for a business trip?

Her eyes suddenly lit up.

For the past few days, in order to avoid him, she tortured herself by leaving early and coming back late.

She was extremely tired.

After learning that he left for a business trip, she finally relaxed a little.

Finally! Thank the stars! She could finally have a good sleep!

……

Tanner went on a trip to discuss business with a friend.

Because of their good relationship, both sides signed the contract in no time.

After the business dealings were done, the other party offered to take him around the city for some

sightseeing.

“We have not seen each other for so many years. How have you been?”

His friend’s name was Corey Shaw. He was handsome and a bit of a ruffian. Tanner, on the other hand,

was cold and hard. When they were together, one was lively while the other person was indifferent. It

made them look like an unexpectedly good-looking pair.

“I am married.” Tanner hesitated for some time before he finally shared the news in a calm voice.

“Wow, this is such big news! Why haven’t I ever heard anything about it?” Corey spoke with a smile on

his face, “Tell me, which beauty caught your heart, Mr. Deleon?” He raised his eyebrows and smirked.

Tanner was already used to his behavior, so he was no longer surprised by him.

“If I didn’t make it public, it’s because I have my reasons.”

Tanner had a lot of friends, but he only treated Corey with some level of enthusiasm. Perhaps this was

the bond between the two of them.

Recalling his recent interactions with Eliza, Tanner’s cold and stiff expressions softened a little.

“It seems like you are not getting along too well with my sister-in-law? Ha, I knew that being too cold

wouldn’t work. What about it, do you need me to teach you a thing or two?” Corey smiled cheekily and

placed his arms around Tanner’s shoulder, his eyes filled with a hint of teasing.

“What sister-in-law? Don’t call her that.” Tanner rolled his eyes at him in an indiscernible manner. He

paused for a while, cleared his throat, and spoke in an unnatural voice, “Come on then, tell me your

tricks!”

Corey glanced at him in disgust. Whatever… Since Tanner had some problems in his relationship, he

would not take it to heart.

"Aren't you two newlyweds? Haven’t you thought about taking her on a trip? Have you heard of going

on a honeymoon? You know, sunshine, beach, surfing, and bikini babes..."

Corey spoke his mind, and Tanner gave him a cold look. He even interrupted him.

“What I mean is that you should take her out, bring her to a different environment. A relationship only

works well when it is fresh. Besides, if she is unfamiliar with the outside world, she can only rely on

you. Listen to me, it can’t go wrong!” Corey smiled ambiguously and raised his eyebrows.

Upon hearing that, Tanner narrowed his eyes. It seemed like he was considering it seriously. A

honeymoon?

“Where?” Even though he had a location in mind, he was still inexperienced when it came to matters of

the heart.

“Ball Island, of course! There’s sunshine, beaches…” Before Corey could finish speaking, Tanner gave

him another cold look.

"You’re pretending to be serious! Hmph..." This time Corey, actually took a hard punch!

……

For a few days, Eliza was able to relax at home, which was rare for her. Since Tanner was not around,

she work on her clothing design at home. She had to admit that the beautiful sea of flowers gave her

lots of inspiration…

In the blink of an eye, three days had passed. Tanner had already booked his flight ticket, and he could

not wait to go home.

……

The morning Tanner returned, it was already bright. Eliza was sitting in the living room and eating

quietly.

Tanner opened the door, bringing in the chilliness of the early autumn morning with him.

Three days of a business trip was enough buffer time for the two of them. By the time Tanner returned,

Eliza had already calmed down. However, when she saw him, her heart still clenched.

Tanner pretended as if nothing had happened. He sat beside her naturally. The servants immediately

prepared breakfast for him.

The two of them ate in tacit understanding. They did not speak at all.

After the two of them finished eating, Tanner took the initiative to extend an invitation to her.

“I will bring you somewhere tomorrow. Don’t worry, I have already helped you ask your company for

leave.” His words were forceful… It did not sound like an invitation at all.

“Why?” Eliza wanted to reject him. She still did not want to be alone with him.

“Do you think there is room for refusal?” Tanner asked her in a deep voice.

Eliza frowned. She was speechless. From her point of view, his words were like an imperial edict, and

there was no room for resistance at all.

Following that was another round of silence.

After breakfast, Tanner asked Aunt Bell to help her pack.

Eliza was a little depressed. It seemed that she was going on a long journey. Even if she was unwilling,

there was nothing she could do. She knew that her resistance would not have much effect. It might

even provoke him.

Oh well… It just so happened that she had not gone out to have fun in a long time too. So, she thought

that she could take it as a way for her to relax.
