Tangled Temptations

Chapter 45

Eloise felt the long skirt was a good fit as well. She sat down and complimented Denise on her taste.

Harvey didn't respond.

Marianna brought breakfast over and apologized, "I didn't know you'd be here, Ms. Laurent! Please make do with what we have today. If there's anything in particular you'd like, let me know. I'll have it ready for you tomorrow morning."

Eloise wasn't too keen on the breakfast, but it was Harvey's house, and the maid was hired by him. She wasn't in a position to give orders. Smiling, Eloise said, "This is fine."

Marianna breathed a sigh of relief. Eloise seemed easy to get along with. Rubbing her hands, she returned to the kitchen to continue her work.

Harvey began reading the newspaper. He glanced at Eloise, who was sipping her milk with grace. It was clear she came from a well-to-do family. Her manners were impeccable, yet not ostentatious.

Harvey thought she looked elegant eating breakfast. He was born into a wealthier family than most, and growing up he was pursued by countless women due to his looks and abilities. Harvey was very picky. While some men might enjoy having naive girls for mental satisfaction, Harvey wasn't one of them. The women who could catch his eyes needed to match him well, and their family background mattered a lot.

He loved Eloise's looks and character. In fact, he was willing to move in with her.

After finishing half a glass of milk, she decided to tell him something, "I've given up all

that much? I've heard you play. You're really good. Why didn't you continue your studies?" He knew her family could afford the
