Tangled Temptations

Chapter 170

Harvey pulled Eloise into a tight embrace, kissing her as he said, "Call my name again."

But this time, Eloise didn't comply.

She leaned against his shoulder, taking in his damp scent, and held him.

Harvey wanted round two.

Eloise gently stroked his chiseled face, whispering, "Rest a little longer, and drink your soup later."

Harvey chuckled, "Are you feeling sorry for me?"

Indeed, Eloise did feel sorry for him.

Her gentle and docile demeanor which Harvey particularly adored, prompted him

to roll over and pin her down, seeking another intimate moment.

Just then, his phone rang. The caller ID displayed Griffin's name.

Eloise had a strong dislike for Griffin's calls.

As expected, after picking the call, Harvey's face darkened as he got up to dress.

Eloise held him from behind, refusing to let him leave.

"Harvey, can't you just ignore her? You know she's doing this on purpose, how long will you let her hurt you? Harvey, there's a limit to how much you owe her."

Eloise is also a woman... She can't always cook for him nonchalantly, then watch him go to the hospital to give blood to a crazy woman.

Seeing the puncture marks on his arm, Eloise felt suffocated.

Harvey was silent for a moment, then deeply kissed her.

He soothed her trembling body, waiting for her to calm down a bit, then softly said, "I'll be back soon."

"No, you won't be back. Joan won't let you..." This was the first time Eloise seriously discussed the issue with him, "Harvey, Joan is not your responsibility! You can help her with the lawsuit, but your indulgence is only making her crazier."

What she wanted to say was, if Joan is really crazy, she should be treated in a psychiatric ward.

Harvey probably got Eloise's point.

He looked at her affectionately, making Eloise swallow her words.

In the end, he still put on his clothes and left.

As usual, Harvey didn't come back.

Spring nights are actually quite cold. Eloise tossed and turned till 3 am and couldn't sleep anymore. She thought about going back to her own apartment, but didn't want to disturb Milo.

She sat in the living room, sleepless all night.

In the following half month, Joan's behavior became increasingly outrageous.

Eloise barely saw Harvey.

During their two meetings, he seemed very tired and fell asleep as soon as he hit the bed.

Eloise didn't probe further.

In this relationship, she was always at a disadvantage, with no way out. Their relationship was so fragile that... she couldn't even find a reason to feel sorry for him.

Sometimes, Eloise thought, maybe subconsciously, she had given up hope, and was just waiting for an outcome.

Eloise didn't expect Parker to look for her.

The CEO's secretary of Horigan Inc. personally drove to pick Eloise, respectfully saying, "Ms. Laurent, our CEO wants to see you."

Half an hour later, Eloise was sitting in Parker's office.

Parker held Eloise in high regard. He had his secretary leave, made a cup of coffee for Eloise himself, and smiled, "I heard from Orlena that you like ground coffee, so I had my secretary buy some coffee beans. Try it."

Eloise felt flattered.
