A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Dinner could have ended swiftly. However, because of Tanner, they ate for over an hour.

"Feed me."

The reason was that after Eliza finished her meal, the great Mr. Deleon suddenly 'couldn't move' his limbs anymore.

Which led Eliza to glance at Tanner in disdain as though saying, "As if you can't move your arms!"

Tanner then replied to her with a threat.

"Or, you'd prefer to spend the rest of the night with me like this?"

And he proceeded to reach for the strap as he spoke.

Fearful, she immediately scooped up his food.

Okay, seeing how he had taken care of her for an entire night, feeding him really was nothing.

After they finished their meal, Tanner scooped Eliza into his arms and carried her upstairs.

Sure enough, he could finally feel some weight in Eliza after she had eaten.

Tanner still had some work to do, so Eliza took a shower before going to bed alone.

The lights had all been switched off when Eliza went to bed. Unfortunately, she had more than enough sleep that day, so she didn't feel sleepy at all.

The study was still brightly lit, but she couldn't see what Tanner was doing from where she was at.

For the first time, she got curious about his study.

What did Tanner look like when he was focused on his work?

He was just right there; she wouldn't disturb him if she only went and sneak a peek, right?

With that in mind, she got out of bed. Learning her lesson from that night's dinner, she changed into a nightgown, one with no buttons or zippers.

In fact, she had been deliberating if she should go shopping for some onesies instead. "It'd definitely be safer!" she mused.

To avoid making noise, Eliza did not wear her slippers.

She didn't dare to turn the lights on either, sneakily feeling her way over in the dark.

Thankfully, the moonlight was enough for her to see.

Slowly, she reached the door of the study. The room was warmly lit, great for working at night.

Seeing that he would scribble on papers every now and then, she assumed he must be reviewing paperwork.

She could also see stacks of folders piled up like mountains on Tanner's desk.

And he'd scrutinized every single one of them.

Eliza watched for a while, but Tanner was too engrossed in his work to notice her.

He must have a lot of things to worry about, or he wouldn't constantly be rubbing his forehead, right?

Having that thought, her heart ached for him. This was probably the first time she had felt so toward this man.

He must be shouldering a lot on his back to appear so resolute all the time.

She chewed on her lip; she had decided, hadn't she? To do something for him when he had done so much for her.

However, she really couldn't think of anything the great CEO of Moth Intelligence would need.

Then, an idea came to her mind. She could probably do that.

Eliza trotted downstairs. Aunt Bell and the others had already retired to their rooms.

Tanner never arranged for the servants to attend to them 24/7.

Afraid of being discovered, Eliza did not turn on any lights, and the pitch-black environment got her feeling fearful.
