A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire novel Chapter 48

Only fractions of an inch away from his lips, Raelyn suddenly stopped.

Since Tanner had already recognized her, he would definitely be disgusted with her if she were to leave a mark on his lips.

She couldn't be rash about it.

Tanner's vision was actually foggy then, seeing multiples. Despite recognizing her as Raelyn, it was only for a split second. Then he thought he was seeing Eliza.

Raelyn thought she couldn't do anything to him, but she could do something to Eliza.

Maintaining the position, she fished her phone out of her handbag, adjusted the angle, and took a shot. The room was dimly lit, so the photo taken looked blurry, looking intimate.

Her fingers were still on his lips. With a little bit of force, they sank.

No rush, he would be her's eventually, and this, would be her's as well.

Raelyn kissed, from inches away.

She wouldn't be sending this set to Eliza. It was her most powerful weapon so far. It would definitely land a hard blow on her.

Sending her texts too frequently would have her thinking her beloved sister had other intentions.

She was supposed to be Eliza's gentle sister.

……

Back in the mansion, not long after Tanner left, Ms. Bell came to tell Eliza dinner was ready.

Strength had returned to her legs, but her waist was still sore, so the way she walked was a little weird.

Ms. Bell stayed by her side, supporting her.

Mrs. Deleon may not know about it, but as an outsider, she was all too clear.

Tanner's work kept him in his office, so he would only return past midnight whenever he stayed over.

However, ever since Eliza moved in, not only would he return regularly, he'd rush back for dinner every day, though he'd bring his work home with him.

If anyone said he didn't care about Mrs. Deleon, not even the servants who barely had any contact with their masters would believe, let alone her.

So even if Mr. Deleon hadn't instructed, they'd do their best to serve Eliza, not daring to slack even a little.

She was anxious, seeing how her masters were falling out, but she couldn't big mouth, only wishing that Mrs. Deleon could see how attentive Mr. Deleon was to her and not let him down.

After Tanner left, Eliza cried.

She knew tears were useless ever since she was a child; however, she couldn't help herself. Her sister's message was a reminder to her; she had fallen in love with someone she shouldn't have.

Her heart was dripping bloodily, in throbbing pain. But even so, she told herself to be strong.

She only cried for a little while before she gradually calmed down. By the time Ms. Bell came, her expression had returned to normal.

She slowly made her way to the dining table. Knowing Tanner was gone, she didn't have to keep a watchful eye. After a day of not eating, she was finally feeling a little hungry.

Probably knowing Mrs. Deleon was in a bad mood, they made her something light. They indeed looked appetizing.

Looking over at Aunt Bell with gratitude, she noticed she looked to have something on her mind.

"You okay, Aunt Bell? Is everything alright?"

Seeing Mrs. Deleon's genuine concern, she relaxed a little.

How innocently adorable was their Mrs. Deleon.

She was just a servant; what troubles could she have other than being worried for them? But it seemed that she had overthought. Mrs. Deleon was pure and kind; she'd naturally have her blessings.

"It's nothing, Mrs. Deleon, please, have your meal." She took her to her seat.

Despite being doubtful, Eliza didn't press on.

She was in a brighter mood after finishing her meal. Though the flowers in the yard were beginning to wither, she could still smell the fragrance in the cool autumn wind.

And a smile returned to her face as she took a deep breath.

That night, Eliza retired early.

Tanner didn't return, nor did she care, better that he didn't. She couldn't face him right then, for it would only stir her guilt toward Raelyn whenever she looked at his face.

Eliza knew she was an ostrich sometimes, understanding nothing would be solved with how she decided to deal with it.

She was too exhausted, burnt-out. However, she couldn't fall asleep, filled with bothering thoughts.

So she forced herself to sleep, keeping her eyes shut, lying motionlessly.

But it didn't seem to be working, only making her thoughts clearer.

In the end, she resigned to watching the stars through the window.

Just like that, the night passed.

Seeing the sky gradually turning bright, Eliza got a little depressed. She had spent the night awake.

Tanner returned at dawn.

The hangover left him with a headache, but the level of pain was nothing to him. With a conscious mind, he drove steadily back to the mansion.

The moment he entered the bedroom, Eliza could smell the perfume on him.

It was Raelyn's favorite scent…

Raelyn sprayed some on his shirt, where the jacket covered before she left. As Tanner didn't notice all that, he didn't realize Eliza was only pretending to be asleep.

Tanner grabbed a new set of clothes and made his way to the shower.

He spent the night with Raelyn, hadn't he…

Her face blanched further. But why should she be jealous? Wasn't it supposed to be that way? They were a couple; she was the one who wedged herself in between them.

As Tanner showered, he recalled all that had happened after he was drunk.
