Chapter 105

Harvey glanced at Landon, then around the restaurant, and it suddenly hit him.

Landon still had a thing for Eloise!

He lit a cigarette and asked, "Here to pick up Blake?"

Landon gave a faint smile. He had seen it all.

Landon moved over to Harvey and, after drawing a breath from his cigarette, he said with a chuckle, "I was actually planning to take Eloise home, but since you're here, I guess I'm not needed. Don't tell me you were on a date with that famous widow, and got busted by Eloise?"

Harvey frowned, "Stop talking nonsense!"

Although he was only a few years older than Landon, his position commanded respect, and Landon could only tease him.

Landon looked back into the restaurant. He didn't say anything more, just quietly smoked his cigarette.

When he finished, he said quietly, "Harvey, I'm serious. Let her be with me if you don't truly love Eloise."

Harvey's fingers trembled slightly as he held his cigarette.

The city's neon lights reflected off Landon's youthful face, making it flicker between light and shadow. With determination far beyond his years, he declared, "I want her!"

After saying this, Landon swallowed hard, not looking at Harvey again, and walked straight into the restaurant.

Harvey stood there, finishing his cigarette, and let out a cold laugh.

When he went back into the restaurant, Landon was already sitting next to Blake, not saying a word, just watching Blake and Eloise chat. His eyes were full of affection.

Harvey was a man, and although his relationship with Eloise was purely physical, seeing her desired by another man always made him uneasy.

Harvey sat down next to Eloise.

The moment he sat down, Eloise felt a warm breath on her ear, a mix of
