Tangled Temptations

Chapter 283

Chapter 272

Eloise had watched it countless times.

Linda's little head full of brown curly hair was motionless. It's Dad! Dad looked so handsome when he smiled! Linda suddenly buried herself in Eloise's arms, and her voice was soft and delicate. "Mum, is Dad coming home?"

Eloise hummed in agreement. She gently stroked Linda's head, speaking gently, "But Dad is sick. We need to give him some time, okay?"

Linda understood a bit. Even though her mum hadn't said it, she knew that after her dad had been admitted to the hospital, they rarely saw him. Sometimes, when he was reading her a story, he would get lost in his thoughts. So he was sick!

Linda ran back to her room, and soon returned with a box. Inside was a plastic stethoscope. Linda's brown curls were bouncing. She said softly, "I can cure Dad!"

Eloise embraced her, pressing a kiss to her forehead. Her eyes were moist. Linda was the most wonderful gift Harvey had left Eloise.

In deep autumn.

Peterborough bustled with life as the leaves of the plane trees began to fall, and the maple trees turned a fiery red, like flaming clouds in the sky.

The airport was buzzing with activity. Countless journalists were squatting. Their cameras were trained on the entrance.

Today was the day of Harvey's return. After a three-year absence, the legal world's King was making a comeback, and who wouldn't want to capture the first photos?

Eloise was there too. She didn't bring Linda, but came alone, accompanied by the Horigan family's old chauffeur, Baron.

Time ticked away, and Eloise's palms were sweaty- "Harvey...what will it be like when we meet again? Do you still remember me?"

A commotion arose, and the journalists suddenly all ran in one direction. The flashbulbs went off!

Harvey was out. Surrounded by his bodyguards, he came out of the security checkpoint. Despite the numerous cameras pointed at him, he handled them with ease, casually answering a few questions before leaving.

The bodyguards held the journalists at bay. Eloise stood at the exit, and he brushed past her. Her limbs felt cold, as if all her strength had been drained. Did Harvey really not remember her?

At that moment, Harvey paused, and his gaze fell on Eloise's face. His gaze was unfamiliar and cold.
