Tangled Temptations

Chapter 268

Eloise's heart was pounding. She mustered all her strength not to break down into tears and, as alway, she walked in.

Harvey set his diary aside. His slender fingers gently caressed the drawer. When he looked up, his gaze was tender. "Is Linda asleep?" He asked.

Eloise set down the fruit platter and nestled against him, pulling his hand to her belly. "She's asleep, but this little one is waiting for you."

Harvey's palm gently massaged the spot, feeling the unborn child. Unfortunately, it was too early to feel any movement, otherwise, he would have at least felt the pulse of his kid.

He leaned closer to her, and their noses were touching. It was an intimate, wordless gesture. Teasing her, he asked, "Does the baby miss me, or do you want to sleep with me?"

Eloise looped her arms around his neck. She was wearing only a thin silk nightdress, which was easy to undress. In the past, he would have indulged in the moment, but she was pregnant, and he was preoccupied.

Harvey kissed her softly, a slow, lingering kiss. His large hand kept teasing her. Finally, he leaned against her forehead and whispered, "Oh, Eloise, it would be so good if this moment could last forever! That could be our happy ending."

Eloise's eyes glistened, and her fingertips silenced him. "Harvey, we're not married yet. How can we have reached the end?"

Harvey's gaze was intense. He stared at her for a long time before murmuring, "Let's get married tomorrow, Eloise. Just the two of us, alright?"

Eloise croaked out a "yes."

...

The next morning.

Harvey didn't go for his morning run but called Denise, asking her to prepare some documents. Denise arrived in the afternoon and was led to the second-floor study by the maid.

Despite her mixed feelings, Denise managed to put on a professional smile. "Mr. Horigan! I've prepared the documents!"
