Tangled Temptations

Chapter 128

In the air, there hung a chilling silence.

Eloise just blurted out, "Why do I have to act like a housewife, cooking every day waiting for you to come home? I can't take it anymore, Harvey."

Harvey's throat bobbed slightly. He had no idea his indulgence was causing Eloise such pain.

He stared intensely at her. After a while, he said softly, "I had no idea you cared so much."

Eloise laughed bitterly at herself. She looked him straight in the eye and said, "Well, I do care, I'm serious. So what if I just can't play it causal like you do, Harvey?"

Suddenly, she calmed down, her voice filled with fatigue. "Harvey, let's call it quits."

Harvey stared at her. After a while, he said softly, "You want to break ties with me just because of what happened today? Eloise, do you really think you can call it quits when I do not want to?"

Eloise's eyes turned red. How could she not know?

She knew Harvey too well. He didn't want to get married, he chased after whoever he fancied, and Eloise was probably the most interesting woman he'd ever met,

so he hadn't gotten sick of her yet.

Awesome! He really pissed her off.

Eloise clenched her fists, struggling to keep her emotions in check, trying to sound indifferent.

"Fine, we won't break ties. Just give me a call when you need me. I'll be at your beck and call."

Harvey stared at her face, saying softly, "You mean, whenever I need you, you'll come over to my apartment and sleep with me? Eloise, are you moving out?"

After saying that, he took a step forward, pushing Eloise against the TV stand. Their intertwined figures illuminated by the TV screen, looked unusually intimate.
