Tangled Temptations

Chapter 212

Brett flashed a small smile. "The Horigan family, is it?"

The butler let out a nervous chuckle, then glanced at Eloise. The whole household knew about the young lady's affairs with the Horigan scion.

Brett took a moment to consider, then ordered for them to be let in. A line of 18 black Mercedes and 88 lavish gifts appeared, all in pairs.

Brett pointed to these and asked, "Is this a gift-giving or a proposal?"

A representative from the Horigan family replied with a laugh.

Just as the old lady was about to speak, Brett whispered into her ear, "I've met the man. He seems promising!"

The old lady, always concerned for her son, nodded in approval.

Brett accepted only half of the gifts, indicating no agreement to the proposal. In doing so, he was setting a strong image for Eloise in the Noland family. His niece was so sought after that even the richest family from the north had proposed. He wanted Eloise, the Noland family's young lady, to feel secure.

Eloise was moved. What did Harvey mean by this?

In the evening, when she finally had a moment, she was about to call him, but Harvey beat her to it.

Eloise picked up. His tone was surprisingly gentle. "Are you enjoying your time in Brockville?"

Eloise nodded. "It's alright."

She thought for a moment, then decided to be straightforward. "Stop sending gifts to the Noland family. I'm afraid..."

"Afraid of misunderstandings? Eloise, I was indeed proposing, but your uncle refused!"

Late at night, Harvey's voice was seductively low. "What should do I do? It seems more difficult to pursue you! Eloise, do you want me to come over?"

Eloise shook her head. Recognizing kin was one thing and it had nothing to do with their relationship. Harvey was clearly fishing in troubled waters.

Eloise stayed calm. She spoke softly, "If there's anything, let's talk about it when I return to Peterborough!"

On the other end of the line, Harvey was silent for a while, then quietly asked, "Eloise, are you rejecting me from your life?"

In the Noland family's generation, she was the only girl. Brett's behavior clearly indicated that he wanted her to return to Brockville. If Eloise was willing, would there still be a chance for them?

After he asked, neither of them spoke. Eloise knew he wanted a promise, but she couldn't give one at the moment! She didn't want to impulsively hand over her emotions and her everything, once again.

Finally, Harvey hung up the phone.

...

Eloise stayed in the Noland family home for three days, then returned to Peterborough. As the driver dropped her off at her apartment, a black Maybach was parked there. The window was down and a slender arm was rested there, its owner smoking back and forth.
