Tangled Temptations

Chapter 294

At the break of dawn, the sunlight was weak.

Eloise's face appeared unusually pale, but her expression was notably calm. "Sign it." She said.

Harvey watched her. After a long while, he gently closed the door, walked over to pick up the document, and whispered, "Eloise... yesterday was an accident. I promise that woman won't appear in front of Linda again."

Eloise gave a faint, cold laugh. She no longer wished to hear his promises. All she wanted now was to protect her children.

She spoke again, her tone still calm, "Once you've signed, and once Linda has calmed down a bit, I will move out with the kids."

Eloise was still distressed. When she first moved here, she had harbored some hope. She thought that in a big family, Harvey could feel the warmth of a home. But perhaps she was wrong from the start. When he had abandoned his family to rescue Monika, she should have given up on him completely.

Harvey watched her, noticing her moist eyes. The document in his hand was tossed back onto the coffee table. He went to the closet to change his clothes but couldn't find anything suitable after a while.

In the end, he stood inside the closet, talking to Eloise outside, "Do you think I have no feelings for you at all? But Eloise...if I really didn't like you, why would I move back with you?" He still refused to accept the divorce and sign the documents.

"Eloise, don't you love me?"

Eloise quietly replied, "I can't anymore, Harvey. I just want to live a peaceful life."

Harvey had already put on his shirt. He abruptly took it off, threw it aside, and put on another one. After trying several times, he finally came out. He looked at her and said softly, "I will not agree to a divorce."

Eloise lowered her eyes and gave a faint smile. "I will find a way. Harvey, if you don't sign this, don't blame me for coming after your girl."

Harvey gave a cold laugh, "She isn't, but you are."

Eloise scoffed. This joke was not funny at all.

She turned around and left, not looking back. The door slammed shut with a loud bang.

Before Harvey left, he went to check on Darrien. The nanny was feeding Darrien milk, and he couldn't help but ask, "Isn't Eloise usually the one feeding him in the morning?"

Her milk had always been plentiful. There was always more than enough for Darrien.

The nanny looked awkward and whispered, "Last night, Mrs. Horigan suddenly dried up. There wasn't a drop left. We don't know what happened." Harvey was taken aback.
