Chapter 246

When Harvey returned to Peterborough, it was already ten in the morning.

The villa was quiet.

Linda had left for school, and Eloise was holding little Daniel, chatting with Orlena. At this moment, Harvey felt much calmer than before. He watched Eloise holding Daniel for a while before taking the child from her and calmly telling Orlena, "Eloise and I are taking you home now."

A flicker of panic crossed Orlena's face. She looked at Eloise.

Harvey snorted softly, "Scared now, are you? You gave birth to a child alone out there. Weren't you scared then?"

Orlena didn't dare to say a word.

Eloise gently wiped Harvey's face with a tissue, asking softly in a voice full of tenderness, "Did you get into a fight in Brockville? What did you say?"

Harvey knew how considerate she was. He replied calmly, "Yes, I got into a fight. But I didn't mention anything about Daniel. If he cares, he'll find out eventually." He couldn't resist adding a jest, "Isn't he always the one with all the answers?" Eloise glanced at Orlena, who didn't dare to retort. It was heart-wrenching.

When Harvey went upstairs to freshen up, Eloise followed him to their bedroom. She agreed with him, "You did the right thing by not saying anything. If Uncle cares for Orlena, he will find out eventually."

Harvey was half-dressed. He chuckled, "You're playing both sides, aren't you, Eloise? How did I never notice before?"

Eloise chose a new set of clothes for him, her fingers paused, "You don't have to use this to mock me. I don't have to meddle, you know...."

Before she could finish, she was embraced. And then she was pressed against the wardrobe. Harvey held her slim waist, caressing her cheek, "Of course, you have to care. As Orlena's sister-in-law, you're always the sensible one. You help me look after her, okay?"

Eloise leaned on his shoulder, smiling lightly, "Aren't you afraid that I might side with Uncle?"

Harvey took a step forward, whispering into her ear, "When I was fighting with him, who did you worry for?"

He was intentionally teasing her. Eloise was not without feelings; she whispered back against his lips, "Neither."

Harvey chuckled softly. His mood had improved significantly, and he found himself flirting with her. Perhaps the pressure of the past few days had been too much, and he desperately wanted to be close to her. Despite the limited time and inappropriate timing, he still gently slipped his hand under her clothes, bringing her to the climax.

Afterwards, she leaned on his shoulder, catching her breath. Harvey held her tenderly, after a while he said, "You don't have to go later. My dad has a bad temper. He might say some harsh words."

Eloise shook her head. Her eyes were moist as she said softly, "If I go, it will calm his temper."
