Tangled Temptations

Chapter 302

Chapter 291

Eloise was distant. "It's not neccessary."

She tried to get out of the car, but Harvey was quicker, blocking her way. His gaze was intense as he locked eyes with her. "I was wrong last time. I shouldn't have treated you like that, but Eloise... don't give me the cold shoulder, and stop saying things that provoke me, okay?"

Eloise laughed lightly, her voice devoid of warmth. She looked out at him, her voice soft. "Monika came to see me today; she said she wanted to stay by your side. She said she doesn't need a title. Harvey, do you know how disgusted I am? If you hadn't insisted on rescuing her yourself, and if you hadn't stayed at the hospital for two or three days, where would she get the audacity to challenge me?"

This was all his doing.

Harvey was visibly taken aback. He had not expected Monika to be so persistent. After paying her medical bills and ensuring that she was not in danger, he cut off all contact with her and blocked her number.

Harvey lowered his voice. "I will handle it, okay?"

Eloise chuckled lightly. "No need. I'll take care of it."

Harvey thought it was just a catfight that would end with Monika leaving, so he didn't interfere. He was feeling a bit moved tonight, and he wanted to be with Eloise. He softly asked, "Stay in my room tonight? I won't do anything to upset you."

Eloise was not in the mood. Even though she had the same needs as any woman, she just couldn't get past the mental hurdle. She flatly rejected him.

Under the pale moonlight, Harvey leaned in, about to kiss her.

Eloise retreated into the car. She got out from the other side, but Harvey quickly followed her, grabbing her arm and pushing her into the back seat, trying to kiss her. Outside the car, a cough sounded. Then, the voice of Parker sounded. "What's going on, Harvey?"

Harvey froze. He looked down at Eloise in his arms, and his handsome face showed signs of frustration.

Eloise's slender throat tightened, her voice hoarse. "Parker, let's go for a walk." Parker was waiting outside the car.

Harvey let go of Eloise, allowing her to compose herself and get out of the car.
