A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire novel Chapter 56

Without waiting for Eliza to respond, Tanner pulled her into his arms, then reached out to prepare the toiletries for her intently, failing to notice the look of disappointment on her face during the process.

To her surprise, he actually meant it when he said he'd help her.

She was no longer a child, but Tanner brushed her teeth in his arms right then.

Staring at the small mirror in front of them, Eliza thought the scene looked unreal. It was already strange enough seeing Tanner holding a toothbrush, let alone watching him looking so absorbed in brushing her teeth.

At first, Eliza was worried he'd be rough with his actions, breaking her teeth when he was currently in a bad mood!

But surprisingly, although he was still a little rough, it was acceptable.

In actuality, Tanner was equally nervous; this was his first time helping someone brush their teeth. To think when had the all-mighty Mr. Deleon needed to take care of someone like this?

He resented himself; how could he have been so careless, allowing this heartless girl to steal his heart!

Even so, he still tried his best to control his temper.

When that was done, he splashed some water on her face to clean it before carrying her out in his arms.

Eliza felt refreshed after washing up. Even though the process was a little embarrassing, she had achieved her goal either way.

While the two looked at odds with each other but were actually flirting, the doctor's medicine had arrived.

"Does your throat hurt?" Tanner asked.

Tanner placed her back on the bed, sitting with her back leaning against the headboard.

Eliza shook her head, not feeling even the slightest pain in her throat at all.

With that, Tanner picked up the medicine and noticed a note from the doctor on the anti-inflammatory capsules.

"Take anti-inflammatory capsules if her vocal cord is inflamed. Plenty of water, plenty of rest, and she'll be fine in a few days."

Aunt Bell remained in the room after she brought the medicine over. Nothing pleased her more to see Mr. and Mrs. Deleon affectionate with each other.

"Aunt Bell, please bring some hot water to me," Tanner ordered.

Obliging, she quickly went down to boil some water.

As Eliza couldn't speak, she looked over at the medicine. She hated taking them!

Back home, her stepfather would never care if she fell sick, and her mother and sister would also spare her from taking medicine if she acted cute toward them.

However, the person right in front of her now was Tanner. Acting cute… probably wouldn't work on him, right? After all, he was so cold-hearted.

After ruminating, she crossed the poor idea off.

However, unbeknownst to her, the move would work best on this 'heartless' man in front of her.

As she sat obediently on the bed, Aunt Bell brought the boiled water up not long after.

She brought the kettle along with a cup.

Even though Tanner had rarely taken any medicine growing up, he knew dispersing the powder into the water would produce a better effect.

Thus, he immediately cracked open the two capsules and mixed the powder up with hot water.

Seeing what he was doing, Eliza's eyes widened with incredulity!

His action traumatized her.

She would definitely object right then if she could. She had only sat quietly because the medicine was in capsules, and she didn't mind them. But now that he mixed it…

This heartless man! Who would take medicine like that?!

Tanner then picked up the cup with intricate patterns.

He swirled it slowly to cool the water down faster.

Right then, he suddenly seemed suave, as though the contents inside the cup weren't medicine but expensive red wine.

It was a sight to behold.

However, it was what it was, medicine!

When Tanner handed the cup to Eliza, she resisted with all her might!

No way she'd drink the water. Capsulated medicine was generally exceptionally bitter! Plus, she saw the note; she'd be fine after plenty of water and plenty of rest. No medicine for her!

Eliza shook her head continuously, refusing to let Tanner feed her, pursing her lips tightly, not allowing a single drop of that liquid to enter her mouth even when he grabbed her jaw.

She was exerting so much force that Tanner was beginning to suspect if she was feigning. Where did all that strength come from?!

As she struggled, the medicinal water was spilling everywhere.

And it only got Tanner even more livid. Why wouldn't she cooperate, not let him feed her?!

Okay, fine, he had wanted a taste of her all morning anyway.

Just then, Eliza felt the pressure of the cup against her lips disappear while she resisted.

Opening her eyes, Tanner downed all of the medicine!

She was dumbstruck. How could he consume medicine when he didn't need to?! Had he been possessed?!

Despite worrying if he had gone mad, she couldn't help smiling. She didn't need to take the medication anymore, elated.

However, it was destined to be short-lived.

After Tanner put the cup down, he kissed her on her lips.

The sudden kiss shocked Eliza, but at the same time, surprised her. However, before she could react, a medicinal taste filled her mouth.

Sh*t! That sc*mbag!

As she was caught off guard, she swallowed all the medicine he spat into her mouth reflexively.

She couldn't stand the pungent, bitter medicinal taste in her mouth.
