Tangled Temptations

Chapter 209

Everything had ended, and the air was thick with discomfort. Especially for Eloise, she felt that their intense interaction was inappropriate. But they had done it,

nonetheless.

With sweat cooling on their bodies, she felt uncomfortable and decided to take a bath, but Harvey gently stopped her. "Stay with me a little longer."

Eloise complied. He leaned in, kissing the back of her ear, and whispered, "Stop giving me the cold shoulder, okay?"

He reached for his pants at the end of the bed, a small box tumbled out. Eloise had an inkling of what was inside. She tried to get up to leave once more, but Harvey grabbed her, and Eloise stumbled back into his arms.

Harvey took out a diamond ring. "Do you like it?" His gaze was intense as he waited for her response.

Eloise took the ring, attempting to slip it onto her middle finger, but it was too small. She chuckled. "It's too small. It doesn't fit."

Harvey's eyes deepened. "Maybe it would fit on your ring finger. Give it a try."

Eloise knew that Harvey rarely made such efforts to please women. If she wanted to seize the opportunity, she should have been overjoyed and accepted his proposal.

But that was the old Eloise.

Before that Valentine's Day, she would have never refused him. But now, even though he was still charming, her feelings were not the same.

Eloise was about to refuse, but she held her tongue. She remembered something important. They had been reckless that night, and they hadn't used any protection.

Eloise put the ring back in the box and closed it. She spoke after a moment of silence, "I'm not on the pill."

Harvey immediately understood her meaning. His handsome face turned a light shade of red. "There's no need for morning-after pills. I didn't..."
