Chapter 33 Awakened by His Kiss
Chapter 33 Awakened by His Kiss
Eliza was awakened by Tanner’s kiss.
When they arrived, she was still asleep. Tanner chose to wait until she woke up. However, with such a
beauty in his arms, how could he not do anything to her?
Eliza was still drowsy and did not understand what was going on at all.
"Did you have a good sleep?" His breathing was a little heavy, but his voice was cold.
“Yes.” Eliza rubbed her eyes. By the time she opened her eyes once more, she saw the playful look in
his eyes.
He raised his hand and flicked her forehead. Eliza was stunned. When she looked at him again, his
eyes were deep and emotionless as if the person she saw before was not the same man.
He tidied up his clothes and held her as they got down. It was only at that instant did Eliza come back
to her senses. She remembered him flicking her forehead not too long ago. He must have been
punishing her for her panic. She also seemed to have been awakened by a kiss too…
Her face became a little hot. She had actually fallen asleep while she leaned on him!
After they got off the plane, she was still wondering what had happened on the plane. When Tanner
saw her bashful appearance, his heart started to beat faster and faster. She was simply seducing him
by doing that!
"We’re here,” Tanner deliberately whispered in her ear.
They were at a small landing strip. Eliza looked around in confusion.
"Where is this place?"
"Ball Island. This is our honeymoon trip."
She had to admit that Tanner's voice was very pleasant, especially when he spoke to her in a low
voice.
Eliza’s eyes widened. She never thought that Tanner would actually prepare a honeymoon trip for her.
But they… they had never been in a relationship before. How could they have a honeymoon?
Another strange feeling popped up in her heart again.
Her expression darkened once more. Tanner did not understand her fluctuating emotions. They were
fine a moment ago. Why did this happen again? He suppressed the irritation in his heart and brought
her out. The people who came to welcome them were already waiting outside.
Naturally, someone helped them unload their luggage. They got in the car and drove towards the villa.
Along the way, Eliza was attracted by the scenery outside. She could smell the sea in the air. It was
August, which was the end of Ball Island’s dry season. It was said that the island was the best place for
a honeymoon trip. Even couples on the road could be part of the scenery.
Tanner did not book the highest quality hotel around. He did not want to give Eliza pressure. He only
booked an ordinary sea view villa, and the housekeeper was in charge of their meals. Apart from that,
no one else would disturb them.
……
When they arrived at their destination, the housekeeper helped them carry their luggage inside. It was
a little different from the villa back home.
There weren’t any flowers in the courtyard, but there were local trees, a few pavilions, huge lawns, and
many paved walkways. The biggest difference between this place and their vila was that the sea
breeze was gentle here.
The room was very large, but there was only one room. Eliza naturally did not want to stay with him,
and Tanner knew her thoughts too.
"Put your luggage in the room. I can sleep outside."
Eliza's eyes were full of doubts. At first, she was still hesitating whether to mention to him that she
wanted to sleep outside. How could he be the one to take the initiative to ask to sleep outside?
“I think it would be better if I slept outside.” Eliza dared not imagine his tall body squeezing on the sofa.
“Okay.” Tanner looked at her. “There are lots of bugs here. You should be careful.”
Eliza nodded. Bugs… She was not that scared of it.
At first, Tanner only wanted to tease her. But when he saw how seriously she had taken it, he stopped
those thoughts and rubbed her little head.
“Sleep here.” The next moment, he toughened up with a tone that could not be refused. “Get ready,
we’ll go out to eat in a little while.” When they just entered the villa, he already told the butler that they NôvelDrama.Org owns © this.
would go out for dinner.
After he said that, he turned around and went to the living room.
As Eliza watched him leave, she still could not believe it. However, when she looked into the room, she
was very satisfied with it. Excited, she rolled around on the big bed. After that, she unpacked her
luggage.
They did not bring too many clothes. There were only a few sets, so it was easy for them to sort it out.
However, his underwear… Forget it, she closed her eyes and stuffed it all into the closet.
……
When it was time to eat, she came out of the house. The refreshing air in the building made her feel
relaxed. She was gradually able to feel the charm of this place.
Tanner drove her to a restaurant. The locals spoke in English as well, so there were no problems with
communication. However, their dishes were a little…
The locals liked to add a lot of spices and seasonings to their food. It had too strong of a flavor for their
palate, but the ingredients were great and fresh.
Eliza lost her appetite after just a few bites. Perhaps the Deleon family’s chef was too good at cooking
that she was somewhat unaccustomed to the food there…
However, Tanner needed to go out for business affairs, so he was able to adapt to any kind of cuisine.
Even though the food did not suit his taste, he could still eat it.
Eliza put down her silverware. She looked a little coy.
She was not used to the food here, and Tanner had forgotten about that. He felt a little upset, but the
more annoying thing was that the waiter brought them a fruit platter that someone had specifically
ordered for Eliza.
The person even left a note on it that wrote, “Hello there, gorgeous. Even though we have never met, I
can feel a mysterious charm from you, and I am attracted to it. If it is fine with you, I would like to take
you out for dinner.”
At the end of the message was that person’s phone number.
What made Tanner even angrier was that Eliza smiled when she read the note. Ever since she married
him, he had hardly ever seen her smile.
Tanner’s temperament was indeed strong, but since they were abroad, and they were in a public area,
she would naturally attract plenty of men. His gaze gradually turned cold, and it seemed like he would
tear her into a million pieces if she accepted that offer.
Eliza's eyes were attracted by the delicate display of fruits, and she did not notice that there was
something wrong with his expression. The food was not suitable for her appetite. However, the fruit
looked very delicious. As for the person who sent this... Foreign people were always more enthusiastic,
and her eating it did not necessarily mean that she would accept the invitation.
Seeing how interested she was in that plate of fruit, Tanner was not in the mood to stay there any
longer. He did not want her to sit here and be stared at by other men.
He placed down the silverware in his hands and pulled her away from her seat.
“Don’t pretend that you have never eaten fruits before. I can’t afford to be humiliated like that.”
He spoke in a cold and sarcastic voice, and Eliza felt a chill all at once. It was a sunny afternoon, but
she was feeling cold all over.
She had no idea that Tanner was speaking ill of her because he was jealous. She only heard the
disgust in his words. He grabbed her wrist hard, and it was a little painful. Eliza started to struggle.
However, the more she moved, the tighter his grip became.
"Tanner, you are holding me too hard. It hurts..."
He ignored her words and stuffed her into the car. After that, they left the restaurant.
