Tangled Temptations

Chapter 264

Eloise covered her chest and dry-heaved a few times.

Harvey had just finished pouring a glass of milk when he heard the sound. He hurried over, with a look of concern on his face. "What's wrong?"

Eloise looked rather pale. She knew what was happening, but she shook her head at Harvey. "I'm fine. Just a little nauseous."

Harvey helped her to a chair. He crouched in front of her, gently patting her back and softly saying, "You shouldn't be doing housework anymore. Let the maid do it, and I'll take care of you."

At that moment, they were at eye level. Eloise looked at his handsome features, feeling a flutter in her heart. Harvey was a good husband, indeed.

She gently touched his face, her voice soft. "Remember when you said you wanted another child? Harvey, maybe next year Linda will have a little brother or sister."

Harvey was stunned.

Eloise took his hand and placed it on her belly. "Surprised?"

Considering how often they had sex, having a baby was quite normal, wasn't it?

After a moment, Harvey found his voice. His hand gently stroked her flat stomach. There was no bump yet, of course, but he just wanted to touch, to feel the presence of their child. Later, he half-kneeled to get closer to her.

Eloise felt a warmth spreading in her heart. No woman could resist a man's closeness. He didn't say anything, but she could tell he was overjoyed.

"Harvey, pour the soup out, or it'll burn."

Harvey still seemed reluctant to leave her side.

Eloise's slender finger traced his handsome features. "If I really am pregnant, don't neglect Linda."

Harvey chuckled. He said, "How could I? I'll take care of all three of you." After saying this, he lifted Eloise and carried her to the living room couch.

Once he set her down, his dark eyes fondly watched her stomach. Eloise playfully swatted his hand away. "Go. And heat up Linda's milk."

Harvey leaned in to kiss her. "Eloise, thank you."

After he finished in the kitchen, Orlena's car arrived.

She was crying again.

Harvey shook the bottle of milk. "Did that old man bully you again?"

Eloise didn't like this kind of talk. She urged him, "Linda's probably falling asleep. Aren't you going to take her milk to her?"

Harvey's gazes were deep, with a hint of meaning in them. In the end, he didn't say anything else. He slowly walked up the stairs to take care of the child.

Orlena complained for a while, then couldn't help but sit at the dining table and eat, sniffing all the while. Under the dim light, her small face had a pearl-like glow, and beads of sweat appeared on her nose. Eloise could understand why her uncle couldn't let go. As a man of his status, living always in calculations, having Orlena by his side must be very relaxing.
