Tangled Temptations

Chapter 125

Eloise bit her lip gently.

How shameless he was! But at the same time, she felt a deep sadness. Neither she nor Joan had ever truly mattered to Harvey.

He was only interested in her body.

He hadn't had enough of her, so he was willing to pretend to be nice to her.

As for Joan, he looked down on her, even despised her, but he still gave her a glimmer of hope, like a cat toying with a mouse.

With this realization, Eloise regained her composure.

She calmly said, "We'll talk when you get back."

Harvey stared at her retreating figure for a moment, then walked out.

Joan was waiting at the door, her face pale.

She had seen it all.

She saw Harvey sweet-talking Eloise, his indifference masking his concern for her. She used to think she was the only one who had that privilege, but seeing it firsthand made her realize that her place in Harvey's heart had been subtly replaced by another woman.

Joan was not willing to accept this.

She softly said, "Come over for a drink, okay?"

Harvey didn't respond directly. Not until getting into the car he said, "Joan, you've been chasing after me lately, I won't deny that it's a thrill for any man, but we both know it's just child's play, no big deal."

Joan's face turned pale in an instant.

Harvey lit a cigarette, taking his time.

He slowly exhaled a smoke ring, looking at Joan.

"The past is in the past, and there's no way I'm going to have anything more to do with you. Despite our breakup, Griffin and I are still good pals. Joan, stop making a scene."

Joan's lips trembled, "Is it because of Eloise? Have you fallen for her?"

Harvey didn't respond. He had no obligation to explain his private life to Joan.

Joan fell silent for a long time, then chuckled softly. "Harvey, I wish you well."

Eloise thought Harvey might not come home all night. After all, he was meeting his old flame, and Joan had specifically sought him out for that purpose.

But surprisingly, Harvey was back by one in the morning.

Eloise was already in bed.

He removed his coat, embraced her from behind, and gently nibbled on her neck.

His hand reached for her body.
