Tangled Temptations

Chapter 112

Harvey got back to the apartment.

He looked like he was down in the dumps, and Eloise caught his mood. She asked softly, "What's up?"

But he just looked at her in silence.

Eloise was all dolled up in a new outfit. She was sporting a dark, lacy long dress with a light-colored long coat over it. Her light brown hair was draped around her waist, making her look gorgeous and elegant.

Harvey gestured for her to come over. He put his hand on her shoulder and murmured. "I called Michelle and learned that your birthday was a few days ago. Can I throw you a belated birthday party on Saturday?"

Eloise was over the moon.

Harvey lifted his head, gave her a peck, and then asked, "So, can you give me a lift to the office?"

Eloise figured he was feeling blue. She was no fool, and she figured it had to do with whoever was on his mind. But instead of asking directly, she wrapped her arms around his neck and cooed. "As long as you want me to, I can drive you to work every day."

Harvey cracked a smile.

He gave her a lazy pat and then headed into the dressing room to change.

Eloise went over to the piano and gently touched the keys.

Harvey was a good lover, but definitely not husband material.

He may spoil her, but he would never truly love her.

Eloise was glad she had wised up early. Otherwise, she would've fallen head over heels for him and straight-up told him she wanted to be with him forever.

She could guess his response.

"Eloise..."

Harvey came out and found her daydreaming.

After seeing Harvey all dressed to the nines, Eloise chuckled. "Attorney Horigan, you're looking so dapper today!"

Harvey responded with a gentle smile.
