Tangled Temptations

Chapter 231

Harvey Horigan couldn't help but chuckle. He walked back to his seat across from her, picked up his lukewarm coffee, and slowly drained the cup. Setting the cup down, he smirked.

"So, I'll be visiting often to see the kid? Staying the night whenever the weather is bad? Eloise... you can control your lust, but I fear I may not be as disciplined. Rumors about the CEO of Everest Technologies having an ongoing affair with his ex-wife could harm my reputation and our relationship!"

His insinuations infuriated Eloise.

To hell with him!

She didn't want to have this conversation with him anymore. It was pointless anyway!

At that moment, the grandfather clock downstairs struck seven. It was seven in the morning.

Harvey glanced at his wristwatch and told Eloise, "Go take a shower and change your clothes. We'll take Linda to school together later."

His expression was somewhat tender. "She will be thrilled!"

Eloise was usually compliant when it came to matters involving their daughter. She insisted on showering in the guest room, but didn't see the need to change her clothes. However, tragedy struck after she showered.

Her period had arrived. There were faint traces of blood on her beige dress.

Eloise stayed in the bathroom for a while. Harvey knocked on the door. "Eloise, are you done? Linda will be waking up soon. She will be upset if she doesn't see you..."

She might even have a meltdown!

Eloise was in a hurry.

She put on her original clothes, cracked the door open slightly, and said, "I need feminine hygiene products and women's clothes. Do you have any here?"

Harvey looked at her, his gaze intense. He scanned her from head to toe, then slowly said, "Why would I have such things here? And... I haven't been with a woman for years, so I certainly don't have women's clothes."

Eloise bit her lip. "No one asked about your loyalty! How am I supposed to go out now?"
