Chapter 241

Eloise's cheeks flushed with embarrassment as she pushed him away. "No, not happening!"

Unable to sleep any longer, she got out of bed to change her clothes in the walk- in closet.

Harvey followed her in.

They had been married once, and he had seen her countless times in various states of dress. Eloise didn't care anymore. As she slipped on her sweater, he wrapped his arms around her from behind. In a low voice, he said, "Eloise, you're still holding a grudge against me, aren't you?"

Eloise didn't deny it. Some things indeed weren't easy to forget. In a soft voice, she said, "Harvey, we both need time."

He hummed in agreement, which was a much better response than she'd gotten from him before. He didn't try anything with her now, because she was not just the woman he wanted, but also Linda's mother.

Certain things had to wait for the right time.

Just then, Harvey's mobile rang. It was a call from Parker. Harvey held Eloise's waist with one hand and answered the call with the other. "Dad?"

Parker didn't sound too happy. "Harvey, bring Eloise home."
