Tangled Temptations

Chapter 199

Chapter 190

A champagne-colored BMW slowly rolled into the neighborhood where Michelle lived. Michelle had dinner ready, and her face lit up in joy when she saw them coming back. "I'll whip up another dish real quick," she said.

Michelle glanced at Dwight, who looked all chipper and full of energy. In front of Michelle, he was always on his best behavior, even helping out with chores. But Michelle just laughed and told him to go freshen up first.

He immediately grabbed his luggage and headed for the small room, his ease making Eloise suspicious that he might be Michelle's family.

By the time Michelle finished cooking, Dwight emerged from the bathroom, all fresh and clean. His long legs looked good in anything he wore. He sat next to Michelle and served her food, acting the part of a dutiful son.

Even though Eloise was somewhat displeased with him, she had to admit that Dwight was really good at cheering Michelle up, and it made her happy just watching them.

While they were eating, the doorbell rang.

"I'll get it," Dwight offered.

Watching his tall figure, Michelle whispered, "Such a good kid, so warm and polite." Eloise just smiled.

On the other side, Dwight opened the door to a middle-aged man who appeared well-mannered and an older woman. "Who are you looking for?"

Griffin, along with his mother and wife, had come to visit and were taken aback by the person who opened the door. Was this the wrong place?

He politely asked, "Is Eloise at home?"

Eloise cringed at the sound of his voice, but Michelle comforted her, "Anyone who comes here is our guest. Your father always said that. We can't lose our manners."

Eloise managed a weak smile.

Michelle welcomed the Lynch family in, and before she could even offer them anything, Jane was already on the verge of tears. "My granddaughter lives in a house like this! Oh, Griffin, what kind of father are you?"

Griffin remained silent, looking displeased.

Eloise coolly responded, "I'm doing just fine, Mr. Lynch. No need for you to feel guilty."

Michelle poured them some water.

Jane tried to reach for Eloise's hand, but she pulled away. Jane looked hurt. "Why won't you come back, dear? Even if Griffin can't give you anything else, he can give you a huge inheritance. You'd live a thousand times better with us. If you're willing to come back, your father's fortune will be left to you and Joan. We won't play favorites."

Eloise felt numb. These people just wanted their biological granddaughter, and didn't care about her pain facing Joan. They didn't truly want to accept her; they just wanted her to reconcile with Joan.

She remained silent.
