Tangled Temptations

Chapter 175

Before going to bed, Michelle gave Eloise a foot soak with some medication.

"You gotta take care of yourself, girl. Don't let anything mess you up," Michelle gently advised.

"It's just a scratch, no biggie," Eloise tried to keep her cool.

Seeing that Eloise could walk slowly, Michelle didn't think much of it.

As the soak was about to finish, Michelle hesitantly said, "Harvey's been waiting downstairs for a while now. You wanna see him?"

Eloise was taken aback.

After a moment, she shook her head lightly, "I'll deal with him in a couple of days. Not really in the mood right now."

Michelle didn't push her.

She tenderly stroked Eloise's head, "I don't know what went down between you two, but whatever you decide, I'm with you. Be picky when choosing your partner, and if he ain't right for you, give him the boot. Then keep looking for the right one."

Eloise cracked a small smile.

Michelle felt a little relieved.

A few weeks later, Eloise's foot was getting better. She and Michelle went to the cemetery to put fresh flowers on the graves of Angus and Louise.

It was a sunny day with flowers blooming everywhere.

Upon entering the cemetery, they found a fresh bouquet of lilies on Angus and Louise's grave.

Michelle guessed it was Griffin who had left the lilies there. She glanced at Eloise, who simply tossed the lilies aside without expression and placed the daisies she brought in front of the grave.

Michelle sighed lightly.

They spent quite some time in the cemetery and it was almost noon when they left.

A golden Bentley was parked at the entrance. It was Harvey, smoking and leaning against the car. Despite the bright sunshine, his demeanor was gloomy.

He had lost some weight since a few weeks ago, but he was still dashing.

Eloise didn't avoid him. She knew she had to deal with the issues between them.

As he approached, Harvey looked deeply into her eyes.

"I'll drive you home," he offered.

Michelle sensed that Eloise wanted to resolve things, so she volunteered, "I'll take

a cab home. Eloise, you guys talk."

Eloise nodded, reminding Michelle to be careful on the road.

Michelle quickly caught a cab and went home first.
