A wedding night Love Affair With The Billionaire

Chapter 24 An Illusion?

There were bloodstains on the ground of the woods, and the faint smell of blood could be detected in

the air. How could anyone who dared to touch his woman still be alive? Eliza was a pure person, her

reputation should not be stained like that. Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Everything happened all too quickly. By the time Eliza fully came back to her senses, she was already

in Tanner’s embrace. She could hear his sturdy heartbeat and feel his warmth too.

Tanner… He seemed to have the magical ability to make her relax. She felt as if she was truly safe

now.

But... her sister...

The moment she thought of her sister, Eliza felt a sense of guilt.

She had lived with the Stone family for so many years. Even though she was not on good terms with

Marco, and her mother would sometimes gossip behind her back, her sister had never done anything

wrong to her. They were sisters who grew up together, and even though they were not related by blood,

they were as close as real sisters. Yet now, she…

She raised her head and looked at the man in the suit in front of her, she had known him since she was

young. In her impression, he liked her sister. She did not know why he wanted to marry her so badly?

It seemed like Eliza’s gaze revealed all her doubts, and Tanner lowered his head to glance at her as if

he had sensed something. She was startled, and it felt like she had done something wrong. She

lowered her head once more.

It seemed like he was… smiling. Was it her imagination? An illusion?

They got in the car, but they did not say anything along the way.

……

Tanner took her to a villa in the outskirts of the city that he prepared two years ago. Even though the

house had been empty for two years, the butler had taken very good care of it.

The bedroom was filled with the faint scent of lavender all year round. The living room was spacious

and bright, and the flowers that were in the courtyard were blooming brightly.

When the villa was first being designed, Tanner had deliberately made it a warm and cozy place. It did

not have too many magnificent decorations, and everything was simple and minimalistic. This was

because he was going to give Eliza the house as a gift. He knew that one day, the owner of this villa

would arrive.

The driver parked the car at the entrance. At that moment, it was already dusk, and a soft sunset glow

shone on the villa.

Eliza was sure that she had never been there before. It was too beautiful. It was unlike the magnificent

villas that she had seen before. It looked like a real home. It was warm and soft, much like a beautiful

dream.

“Do you like it?” She did not know when, but Tanner had walked up to her side. His hand naturally

wrapped around her waist as he leaned over and whispered in her ear. His voice was heavy, and it was

enough to captivate her.

“Yes,” Eliza replied subconsciously. There was a sense of joy in her heart that she did not even realize,

and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised.

Eliza turned around to look at the man who was beside her, but she unexpectedly saw a pair of tender

and deep eyes staring at her. It felt like she was waking up from a dream, Eliza suddenly pushed the

man away from her.

There wasn’t too much distance between them, and she could feel his hot breath. No, that won’t do.

Even though she had promised to marry him, she still thought that there should be some distance

between them. She had thought of him as her brother-in-law for so many years. It was difficult for her to

take all of this change in so quickly.

She tried to resist subconsciously, and that angered Tanner. Even though she had already accepted his

proposal, even though they had been intimate, she was still the same. It seemed like he still needed to

do more.

Tanner tidied up his clothes before turning back to how he usually was. He spoke coldly, “Let’s go

inside.”

After that, he strode in with his long legs.
