A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire novel Chapter 32

The night before their departure, as dusk fell...

Tanner came to her door and raised his hand slightly, but he did not open the door. He heard from Ms. Bell that she had been very happy and in good spirits, even smiling at everyone. Now that he had come back, he was not sure whether she could even fall asleep or not.

He must not scare her anymore…

He knew that Eliza still hadn’t fully accepted him. However, he had never doubted his own abilities. No matter how much she rejected him, he would still be able to conquer her eventually.

He had full determination when it came to Eliza.

……

In the room, Eliza was lying on the bed. She tossed and turned restlessly.

She dared not tell anyone about her marriage to Tanner.

During this period, she did not dare say much when she occasionally contacted her mother. She only told her mother to take good care of herself before hanging up. Her mother was in a difficult situation in the Stone family. Eliza could not tell her that she had stolen her sister's lover and Marco's son-in-law.

As for Gracelynn… She heard that she had caught her husband having an affair again. However, Eliza was in deep trouble herself too, so she had no time to take care of her. Indeed, all men were pigs, be it Michael or Tanner…

When she thought of Tanner, her heart started to beat faster. She did not know where he was going to take her…

She looked out the window. There were no stars in the sky. Even the moon was not visible. Eliza suddenly felt that she was one with the night… It was all too dark!

……

The next day, as the sun rose.

The night before, Eliza slept poorly. She woke up early in the morning, her neck aching. She sat on the bed for some time before the maid knocked on the door to remind her to go down for breakfast.

As she opened the door, she happened to see Tanner, who came out at the same time as her.

"Did you have a good sleep?" He spoke with a hoarse voice, probably because he had just woken up.

"Yes," Eliza answered perfunctorily as she massaged her neck.

Tanner’s gaze, on the other hand, turned cold. A powerful pressure emanated from his body, and he made it impossible for her to ignore his existence. Eliza suddenly realized something, and she put her hands down guiltily.

Tanner did not say anything else. He took the lead in walking downstairs.

Eliza followed from behind, but she kept a measured distance between them.

Because of that little interaction, the two of them did not say anything during breakfast. The servants helped them bring their luggage down, and they were about to leave.

She followed Tanner to the backyard. Eliza had never been there before. Usually, she only wandered in the courtyard. Behind the villa was a forest with tall trees that blocked her sight. She could not see what was within.

As she breathed in the fresh air of the forest, rays of sunlight pierced through the gaps that were between the leaves. The chirping of birds could be heard from time to time. The scene in front of her was like a dream, and the forest in the backyard was beautiful too.

Through the woods, she saw a large open space behind. She saw a private plane. She did not know much about planes, so she did not know what model it was. She only knew that it looked a little smaller than a passenger plane.

In truth, she was scared of heights…

Tanner flipped through the information he had brought with him. He looked like he was very focused.

However, in reality, he did not read much. Eliza was sitting right next to him. So, from time to time, he could not help but look at her from the corner of his eye.

He knew all too well just how nervous she was. He knew that she had a fear of heights. That was one of the reasons why he used a private plane, as it was more comfortable and stable. However, it still seemed to be useless in the face of her fear.

After the plane steadied, Eliza was still motionless. She remained glued to the chair in her original position. Tanner thought for a while, then he pulled her up from her seat.

Eliza’s legs were a little weak. He increased his strength when he embraced her, just like when they got on the plane. Eliza looked at him as if she understood why he was carrying her like that to another seat…

His powerful arms gave her a sense of security, and she felt some strength return to her feet. She followed him, and they sat on the long leather seat.

Tanner forcefully made her lean against him. One of his hands hugged her tightly, while he held his documents with his other hand. His gaze had never left the documents.

As Eliza leaned on his shoulder, she felt his strength. The fear in her heart dissipated a lot. The situation reminded her of the kidnapping she suffered last time. He was the same then. He did not speak much. He gave her the feeling of security through his actions.

While she sat with his arm around her, she felt sleepy.

Tanner looked at the documents in his hand, but his attention was on Eliza. Only when he felt her body slowly relax did he turn his gaze to her. He did not expect her to have fallen asleep so quickly.

He looked at her quiet, sleeping face and gently kissed her forehead. Tanner felt that this trip was not wasted at all…
