A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Eliza spent these two days cooped up in her bedroom.

Tanner would come back every night, so she'd still have to go down for her meals. How high of a horse she'd be riding if she didn't.

As usual, the two would be silent the entire dinner, probably the quietest dinner the world had ever seen.

Eliza dared not look at him, only focusing on her plate.

Only someone more intimidating could withstand the massive oppression Tanner exuded when he pulled a straight face and said nothing. Evidently, Eliza wasn't that someone.

If she could, she really didn't want to come down for dinner.

Tanner ate gracefully and swiftly, every action emanating the manners of an affluent family. Ignoring that aloof face, watching him eat was a sight to behold.

Tanner still minded that she went out for dinner with another man behind his back, so he never spared her even a glance the entire dinner, going to his study to continue with work after he was done.

Eliza was more than happy to have a good meal with what was served, but with Tanner next to her, she only wished it would end sooner. Not long after Tanner went up, she put down her cutleries.

The lights in the study would still be on whenever she retired. After washing up, she went to bed.

Her eyes were wide open in the dark. She didn't know why but she had been having trouble falling asleep.

Tanner still hadn't come to bed when it was late at night, and the lights in the study had dimmed. Eliza, on the other hand, was starting to feel sleepy.

Though the two rooms were connected, the two people inside weren't, as though neither could see each other.

Two days of leave passed by quickly; Eliza had long recovered; however, the bruises on her were still noticeable at a careful glance though they had faded.

She picked out a high collar blouse and a professional blazer and put on some light makeup.

She then tied her hair up into a messy bun, making her look lively and playful.

By the time she went downstairs, Tanner was already sitting there.

It was still early in the morning, and birds were chirping outside, indicating a wonderful morning for Eliza.

Tanner, however, thought otherwise.

Compared to her gaunt look in the past two days, she looked much alive now that she had dressed up.

Especially that subtle lift on the corners of her mouth; they really affected his mood.

Was she really that happy to see another man?

As Eliza sat down, Tanner sneered.

"Are you happy because you can finally go and see your lover?"

That was the first thing he said to her in the past two days.

As though struck by lightning, Eliza froze, and her face evidently paled despite the makeup.

The faces of the surrounding servants paled along with her as well.
