A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Raelyn wore a white cocktail dress with a bit of a tutu, outlining her graceful figure yet making her look innocent and youthful.

She had been busy the whole morning preparing this lunch box, for she had known her purpose since little. She was to become the matriarch of the Deleon family. Naturally, to reach her goal, she'd had to put in some effort, like how she conducted herself, her speech, and cooking.

She walked lightly over and placed the lunch box on his desk.

It was only then that Tanner noticed her.

Rubbing his glabella, he had spaced out.

Even though it looked like he was reading the newspaper attentively, the page stayed for a long, long time.

"Tanner, I've made you lunch. Give it a try."

She intentionally revealed the band-aid in her hand, knowing Tanner would definitely notice it.

"What's with your hand?" He remained flat, not even questioning.

Raelyn smiled. Tanner was aloof to everyone, so it was a great honor to obtain his concern.

She pretended to hide her hand as if she did not want him to see it at all.

"Nothing; just a little accident when I was cooking. It is just a small wound." There was an happiness on her face. Her happiness would have people thinking she was the genuine president's wife.

Tanner checked out the lunch box she had brought. It was a small box wrapped in a beautiful piece of cloth.

Catching his line of sight, Raelyn quickly unwrapped the cloth. There were three layers to the lunch box; pasta, salad, and soup, which she had thoughtfully separated.

She was a noble young lady, after all; her cooking would definitely not be on the same level as the Deleon family's chef. However, with a few years under her belt coupled with a thoughtful presentation, it still looked decent.

Seeing that she was going to open the lunch box, Tanner stopped her.

"Leave it for now."

They may have known each other since little, but she wasn't the one he fancied, so he felt nothing toward her gestures.

Being indifferent toward her was already the most he'd do, and it was all only to steady his mother and grandmother.

He knew they would never accept Eliza since he was little, and his collaboration and interaction with the Stone family was naturally to have them thinking it was all to court the legitimate young lady of the Stone family, Raelyn.

However, he knew who he truly liked, and he had no intentions of eating the food she brought.

"Tanner, I… I know this isn't as good as the chef's, but I made it just for you. Will you have a bite? Just a little?"

She pursed her lips, looking a little aggrieved with her misty, amorous eyes laced with a hint of coquetry.

Though Tanner never once looked right at her, he could tell the coyness in her voice. As his gaze landed on the band-aid on her finger, his tense face finally eased a little.

They were childhood friends after all, and she wasn't his enemy either, having always tried to please him even. Plus, he could see a little bit of Eliza in her.

He wouldn't describe his feelings for her as hate, in all honesty.
