Tangled Temptations

Chapter 143

Chapter 134

Max was rock solid, his muscles hard as stone.

His gaze was filled with a warning.

"I haven't lost my mind." he stated at her, each word weighted, "I'm wide awake. Eloise, let's start over, I'll treat you better this time."

He cared about her past with Harvey, but he chose to forget.

Eloise was stunned. By the time she came to, Max was already cradling her face, preparing to kiss her. She turned her head away.

His lips brushed gently against her smooth cheek, leaving a trail of moisture. Eloise pushed him away forcefully. Her breathing was erratic as she stared at him, wanting to tell him that she didn't need his investment or compensation. There didn't need to be any connection between them.

But just as she was about to speak, her gaze froze. Not far away, Harvey was standing there, smoking. His deep gaze was fixed on them, indifferent as if he was watching a love affair that had nothing to do with him.

Eloise's legs suddenly went weak. She leaned against the wall, having to support herself with her hand to prevent herself from sliding down.

Max also saw Harvey. He spoke hoarsely, "Eloise, just say the word and I'll call off the engagement now. I'll marry you, and we'll have kids."

His proposal was tempting, but not what Eloise wanted. The person she truly desired was coldly observing her.

She helplessly watched Harvey.

Max felt cold all over. Perhaps before today, he still had a glimmer of hope, but now he knew that he had irrevocably lost Eloise.

A conflict among three. But Max was just an outsider.

Eloise's eyes were only for Harvey, and Max had lost badly. He backed off. As he brushed past Harvey, he heard Harvey coldly say, "Max, I don't like other men touching my woman."

Max froze. He had been around Harvey for a long time, and this was the first time he had seen Harvey show possessiveness. He usually didn't care much about anything, especially women.
