Tangled Temptations

Chapter 127

Chapter 119

After hanging up the phone, Eloise sank into her thoughts.

Could he really be so indifferent?

No way!

After all, they did have some fiery times together, and Harvey did once shower her with affection.

Harvey did like her, right?

Eloise collected herself and was ready to start her car when Harvey's call came through.

She answered the phone, her voice as soft as ever.

"Harvey."

On the other end, Harvey seemed taken aback by her gentle tone.

It was then that he realized that he hadn't seen her much in almost a week. She

was already asleep when he got home late and was still asleep when he left early.

Harvey's voice came out husky. "Where are you?"

"I'm heading home."

Harvey glanced at his watch. "I'll be home later for dinner; could you cook something?"

Eloise was silent for a few seconds and then agreed.

After hanging up, she gently stroked her phone, her emotions a jumbled mess.

Considering their current relationship, it would have been normal for him to let her rest in bed. But asking her to cook seemed a bit much.

The sweet domestic life was like a sugar-coated poison pill, and Eloise had once willingly swallowed it.

But now he was chasing his dream lover from his youth.

And she, Eloise, was helpless.

There was no housekeeper at home, so Eloise went to the supermarket to get some groceries.

After paying, a few young guys at the entrance stuffed her with several newspapers.

"This is the preview edition of our city evening paper; have a look."

"There's all kinds of juicy gossip; it's really spicy."

...

Eloise didn't pay it any mind, casually tossing the newspapers into her shopping bag and into the trunk.

When she got home and opened the shopping bag to prepare dinner, she realized that the front-page headlines of those newspapers were all about Harvey.

More accurately, they were about Harvey and Joan's scandal.
