A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Eliza's eyes widened in disbelief.

What did he say?

Sorry? Tanner Deleon, the Tanner Deleon would apologize?!

"By the way, when had your voice returned?"

His deep voice traveled to her ears again.

"I..."

After not speaking for a long time, she wasn't used to the sudden ability.

As she had been too tense, she hadn't even realized it. She was sure she still couldn't speak when she left the bed.

Tanner had already realized it the moment she spoke; it had been a while since he last heard her voice, after all. But it still sounded somewhat different; she'd probably have to rest her vocal chord a bit longer.

However, he had let his fury get the better of him just now. He couldn't control his temper when the thought of her leaving came to him.

He had brought the topic up then to solely distract her.

He knew he must have looked terrifying and had frightened her.

"Why did you come down again?"

Tanner released her, wrapping his arms around her waist loosely.

His composure had only gotten Eliza alerted. His mood was too unpredictable; she dared not answer lightly, searching in his gaze only to find it filled with anticipation.

Staring at him with vigilance, she replied carefully, her voice still rather weak, a little croaky, laced with doubt.

"Make you… coffee?"

It was an answer, but it sounded more like a question.

"Go on then."

Tanner said as he ruffled her hair, his eyes smiling.

Eliza's heart fluttered looking at him, but at the same time, dubious. She couldn't believe she saw affection in his eyes; she must be dreaming!

Adjusting her breathing, she tried to regain her senses.

Then, she caught the ceramic shards that were still on the ground.

"But this, I… I should clean the floor up first."

Eliza bent down as she spoke, still feeling a little scared from their exchange earlier. She did not know the actual reason Tanner was angry, only thinking the houseplant must have been really important to him.

Tanner's hands were still on Eliza's waist, and with a gentle lift, she was back standing.

"Someone will see to it tomorrow."

How bad would his heart have ached if she cut herself picking up the shards? Her only task now was to make him coffee.

With that, he led her to the kitchen without another word.

As they passed the stairs, Eliza deliberately checked the sides. There weren't any switches, so how did the lights switch on when he came down?

As if he could read her mind, Tanner gently twisted the spherical structure with his free hand.

And just like that, the brightly lit hall turned pitch black.

Eliza was taken aback. What sorcery was that?

The darkness only lasted for a moment before the lights switched back on again, and Tanner withdrew his hands at the same time.
