A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire novel Chapter 42

A few photos were attached to Raelyn's message.

"Eliza, Tanner took me to the mountains to see a doctor today to nurse my body. This doctor is really amazing; I can feel my body getting better already."

"Also, I've secretly taken a few photos of Tanner. You're the only one I'm sharing with! Don't tell anyone; it's our secret!"

……

None of the photos showed his face; actually, they were all his back. But she could still tell it was him at a glance.

Her sister stood right behind him, beaming.

They were... a perfect match.

The heartache she felt before appeared again.

His assistant said he was on a business trip, probably instructed by Tanner to say so.

Noticing the change in her mood, Nicholas asked, "What's wrong? You don't look so good."

Eliza forced a smile. "It's nothing."

However, her slightly red eyes told him that it was a lie!

Nicholas squinted a little. He wasn't blind; how could he not tell something was up?

However, since she didn't want to talk about it, then he wouldn't ask.

After all, they weren't familiar with each other.

Eliza could tell that the atmosphere was a little awkward. But it felt as though something was stuck in her heart, making her uncomfortable.

"Sorry, I..."

Nicholas interrupted her. "You don't have to apologize. Have you forgotten you've asked me out to thank me?"

"Sigh, but I haven't even heard a word of thanks from you yet." He placed one hand on his head and acted like he was wronged.

Eliza looked at him and smiled once more.

Nicholas looked at her seriously, then said, "Do you know you look stunning when you smile…"

"Really?"

A deep, mellow voice with a thick chill interrupted his words.

Tanner appeared all of a sudden.

Raelyn had wanted to stay in the mountains for a few days, but the doctor had a rule that his patients could only stay for a day.

After giving her a prescription, he asked them to leave.

Publicity-stunt-like rule. But perfect for Tanner as he didn't want to stay another second longer.

Returning to the company around five, he quickly dealt with the pile of documents so that he could go home to his Eliza sooner.

Ironically, the person who had been following her sent him a picture at six-thirty.

She was standing face to face with a man, smiling at each other.

Tanner's smile turned vicious as he saw the photo.

Watching from the side, Fran only thought the world was about to end.

Sure enough, Tanner headed straight to the destination after he received the address.

Right then, Tanner got closer and closer to them, exuding dominance.

Seeing his sudden appearance, Eliza panicked.

Why was he here? Shouldn't he… be with Raelyn?

"Come here,"

Tanner ordered with a grim face. Though his words were directed at Eliza, his eyes latched onto Nicholas.

His gaze was sub-zero, filled with warning.

However, Nicholas was lost, unsure of what to make of the situation.

He knew… this person. Wasn't he the Deleon family's only son, Tanner? He looked at Eliza. It seemed… he had discovered an incredible secret.

Eliza was completely flustered. She heard him, but she didn't move an inch. Raelyn's message ruffled her, and Tanner's appearance got her heart tightened.

However, Tanner, who didn't know Raelyn had twisted the story, only though Eliza was feeling guilty, seeing that she was motionless.

Huh! If it weren't for that doctor's stupid rules, he might really have missed out on this wonderful scene.

"Eliza Stone, do you really crave men that badly?" He said through gnashed teeth.

Hearing that, blood drained from Eliza's face.

Not even in her dreams would she think she would one day hear such words coming out of his mouth.

Nicholas also got upset at his words. How rude to say that to a young lady.

However, Tanner stood firmly on the spot. Heavens knew how furious he was when he saw that photo.

Seeing Eliza dumbstricken, he had enough with words and grabbed her wrist, dragging her out.

His grip was so tight that Eliza thought her bones were close to shattering.

It was also this pain that pulled her back to reality, no longer like a soulless puppet.

She quickly greeted Nicholas goodbye.

"I'm sorry, I have to go. Let's meet some other time. Thank you, bye."

How dare she still say goodbye to him when he was right there?! She still wanted another rendezvous?!

How bold, Stone!

He tightened his grip and strode even faster. Being dragged behind, Eliza endured the pain, forcing herself to stay silent as she trotted, trying to keep up with him so as not to fall over.

Reaching the exit, he shoved her into the car.

"Start the car."

"Yes, Sir."

Seeing his boss was in an awful mood, Fran didn't dare delay, hitting the gas, heading for the suburbs.
