Tangled Temptations

Chapter 276

Chapter 265

Late at night.

Eloise tucked Linda into bed, returning to the master bedroom to find it empty of Harvey. She found him in the study.

The night was inky dark.

Without turning on the light, he stood alone by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly smoking. The smoke from his lips was thinned and dissipated by the night breeze. It lightened, then it faded.

Eloise closed the door behind her, walking towards him and wrapping her arms around him from behind. "Harvey, still thinking?"

Ever since returning from the church, he had been melancholic.

Clearly, he was deeply affected.

Harvey patted her hand around his waist, extinguishing his cigarette, and murmured, "No, don't overthink it."

Eloise leaned her face against his back, coaxing him, "Then cheer up, okay? That monk might not be accurate; maybe he was just talking nonsense."

Harvey turned around and gave a light laugh. He caressed her belly. "How's the baby? Behaving?"

Eloise glared at him. "It's just a bit over a month. How could it be behaving or not?"

Harvey pulled her into his arms, kissing her hair. "Eloise, I will be there when our child is born, and watch him grow up. I will not let you leave again."

Eloise leaned against him, listening to his words. After all their time together, how could she not notice that his heart was still tense?

She wanted to please him. Tilting her head up, she kissed his distinct jawline, then his neck. The woman's warm breath always stirred him, especially when she took the initiative.
