Tangled Temptations

Chapter 167

The atmosphere was a bit tense.

Even though Eloise had a good understanding of Harvey, she still worried that he might get upset.

To her surprise, Harvey didn't seem upset at all. Instead, he came over to her and gently asked, "What's wrong?"

Eloise shook her head, her eyes full of trust as she looked at him.

Harvey gave a slight smile and turned to Parker, he said, "This is Eloise."

Then, he gently wrapped his arm around her.

Parker was already in his fifties, but he looked much younger. From his appearance, it was clear that Harvey had inherited many of his traits.

Eloise greeted him respectfully, saying "Hello."

Parker slowly descended the stairs.

Pauline also came over, and seeing Parker silent, she gave him a nudge. "Lou is greeting you, aren't you going to respond?"

Parker looked conflicted.

He knew that Harvey had brought a girl home on Orlena's birthday.

But Harvey hadn't introduced her to him that day, so he didn't pay much attention to it.

Surprisingly, their relationship had progressed to such a point.

Parker scrutinized Eloise.

She was beautiful, seemed very dignified, and he had heard that she was very successful in her career.

Parker liked such a woman, but he kept a nonchalant attitude, simply nodded, and turned to Pauline. "It's her first time here, where's your welcome gift?"

Pauline brought out a jewelry box.

Inside the box was not only a gold water bottle but also a significant amount of cash. It was quite a hefty gift.

Eloise was a bit puzzled.

Pauline kindly explained, "You're an Aquarius, so I prepared this for you."

Eloise thanked her with a smile.

Harvey glanced at her. His expression was somewhere between a smile and a smirk, which irritated Eloise, but also made her feel a bit sweet.

Orlena also ran in.

In the hall, only Max was unhappy. He knew that Harvey and Eloise's relationship was now official.

During dinner, Parker was in a good mood and drank quite a bit of wine.

Pauline didn't stop him.

Eloise was a bit nervous at first, but Harvey took special care of her.

"Eloise, this soup is really good."

"This dish is your favorite."

Eloise was touched at first, but seeing Max's gloomy gaze, she understood Harvey's intentions.
