Tangled Temptations

Chapter 293

Harvey didn't want a divorce. For the several days that followed, he doggedly pursued Eloise, faithfully appearing at Everest Technologies as soon as work was

over.

To outsiders, they seemed like a happily married couple.

Eloise was just exhausted. She could tolerate his temper and his wicked behavior

in bed, but what he did with Monika crossed a line she couldn't ignore. He knew about Monika's ambitions, but he still allowed her to get too close.

He was disrespectful to his wife, and he even thought that as long as he didn't engage in a physical relationship, he was still loyal.

On Friday, at half past five...

Eloise handed over the signed documents to Natalia, "Distribute these, and then you can leave."

Natalia smiled. "Ms. Laurent, Attorney Horigan called. He said he wants to pick up Linda with you."

Eloise didn't respond. Natalia, not daring to say more, took the documents and left.

Eloise sat in silence, lost in thought before she gathered her belongings and left.

As she took the elevator down, she contemplated - Harvey had been pestering her, unwilling to get a divorce, using their child to soften her heart. But he didn't realize that it was because of their child that she made this decision so quickly.

In the lobby of Everest Technologies.

Harvey sat leisurely on the couch, looking expensive. He wore a light gray shirt and a classic black suit. His handsome face was full of cheerfulness, showing no sign of a man about to be divorced.

Eloise descended the stairs. Harvey immediately stood up, took her briefcase, and said gently, "The daycare has an activity today, so Linda will be late. We can go pick her up now."

He was smart. In front of everyone, Eloise also didn't want to make a scene. Besides, she also wanted to make Linda happy, so Eloise got into his car.

He noticed that she obviously didn't want to talk to him, and only asked when he would sign the divorce papers.

He wouldn't sign them.

He cleared his throat, his voice slightly deep. "Fasten your seatbelt."

Eloise snapped out of her thoughts. As she fastened her seatbelt, he started the car and tentatively suggested, "Shall we take Linda out for some pizza tonight? She was upset last night, and said she wanted to eat with both of us."

He was hinting at something, and Eloise understood. She remained silent for a while before saying, "After the divorce, you can see her and Darrien anytime you want."
