Tangled Temptations

Chapter 259

Chapter 248

Brett stared at Orlena. She had changed, a lot. She used to be as radiant as a blooming rose, but now she was noticeably thinner. Her dresses were no longer the soft, delicate colors of before, but instead had taken on a more mature hue. She had transformed from a girl into a woman.

In that instant, Brett knew that he still desired her.

He focused intently on her face, whispering, "It's been a while, hasn't it, Orlena?"

Orlena lost control of her emotions more than he did. Her voice choked up, using all her strength to say, "Mr. Brett, it's been a long time."

Their dialogue continued back and forth.

Caught in the middle, Eloise found it difficult to handle. She picked up Linda, asking the driver and trustworthy nanny to take her to kindergarten. Linda was especially well-behaved, giving her a kiss, "Goodbye Mommy!"

Eloise also gave her a kiss, "Mommy will pick you up in the evening!"

Linda hopped down from her lap, holding the nanny's hand and obediently went off to school.

Eloise turned back around, coughing lightly, "I'll make some chamomile tea!"

Orlena seemed to rely on her, holding her back, "Eloise!"

Eloise smiled, "You two need to talk."

...

Brett looked at Orlena, murmuring, "Let's go in."

Orlena lowered her head and walked in, but as soon as she entered, he grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the bathroom.

The bathroom door closed, creating a small, confined space. And her back was pinned against the wall. Brett's arm was propped up above her head, his body trapping her. His faint scent of tobacco lingered, making her feel a bit dizzy.

For a long time, nobody spoke.

Finally, Orlena stuttered, "Let me go!"

Brett gazed at her, his voice low, "I waited for you all night!"

She stared at him sharply. Her eyes were full of tears, ready to fall at the slightest blink. So she didn't dare to blink. She didn't want to cry in front of him anymore. She'd struggled so much after they'd parted ways. Now, crying in front of him, what was that for?

Brett wasn't doing well either. He glanced towards the door, then back at her face, whispering, "Why haven't you been home in two years?"

Orlena offered a faint smile, "What does it matter to you? If I'm not home, it means I'm out having fun. What right do you have to question me?"

Fun.

Brett's gaze was inscrutable. He reached out and touched her face, but as soon as he did, her whole body started to tremble. Her teeth were even chattering.
