Tangled Temptations

Chapter 227

Eloise couldn't help but scoff, "Not at all!"

She hesitated before sharing Linda's story, then spoke softly, "Veronica, I know I shouldn't. I just can't help but want to care for that child! She looks just like her, and even her name is Linda."

It seemed fantastical to Veronica. What were the odds? A child appeared out of the blue and motherless.

Veronica thought it was implausible. She put on a serious face and said, "You must be missing Linda too much! Eloise, give it another try, there might be someone out there for you!"

Three years had passed, and Eloise was still single. Veronica felt guilty and anxious. Eloise, however, seemed in no rush. She was about to say something when her phone rang. It was the same number from the night before, but this time it was Linda on the other end, her voice sweet as sugar, "Eloise, I miss you!"

Eloise's face immediately softened, "I miss you too!"

Linda continued with her cajoling, "I want to see you!"

Eloise hesitated. Meeting a student outside of school hours was against the rules. She resisted for a while before reluctantly declining, "We can meet on Friday."

Linda sounded disappointed. She didn't cry, but her voice was soft and pleading, "Dad isn't home! I'm so lonely. Eloise, will you stay with me?"

Eloise's heart softened. Veronica, who had overheard, was taken aback. Who could resist such a little devil? As expected, Eloise was already asking where to meet. Linda chuckled with delight, "Eloise, look outside!"

Eloise was surprised.

She looked out the cafe window to see a stretch limousine parked outside, its back door open. Linda was sitting inside. Dressed in a small floral dress, she looked at Eloise with gentle and obedient eyes.
