Tangled Temptations

Chapter 114

Chapter 106

Harvey guessed she was seriously ticked off.

He leaned in and whispered in her ear, "Is Landon really worth all this fuss?"

It was late, and Eloise didn't want to argue anymore.

She softened, wrapping her arms around his waist and murmuring, "I trust you."

Then she closed her eyes to sleep, her breathing steadying.

Harvey, on the other hand, was wide awake. He watched her face in the moonlight, grinding his teeth in frustration.

Eloise really fell asleep!

After their not-so-little spat, she seemed to have no interest in talking things out or solving the problem.

Harvey was no saint either. She gave him the cold shoulder so he stopped trying to appease her.

The next morning.

He woke up to find her side of the bed empty. Eloise was not there.

Sounds of housework came from outside.

Lying flat, he mulled over the previous night's events. Their relationship seemed a mess, and they shouldn't have been fighting.

Once he had his thoughts sorted out, he stopped dwelling on it. He got up, freshened up, and dressed in his business attire.

He put on his watch as he walked out, finding Eloise setting the table.

The morning sun shone on her, giving her a soft glow.

Harvey sat down, sipping his coffee while reading the morning paper.

Eloise made him an egg sandwich.

After one bite, he found it tasted better than any he'd had outside. He looked at it, puzzled.

Eloise sat next to him, noticed his gaze, and asked gently, "Don't you like it?"

He looked at her. After a moment, he smiled and replied, "It's delicious!"
