Tangled Temptations

Chapter 297

Harvey had lived a life of whimsy. However, at this moment, he felt a sense of panic he'd never experienced before. He had a vague feeling of having lost something, something he desperately wanted to hold onto.

But Eloise had made the decision to let go.

He'd read the diary and listened to her voice recordings. His recent behavior towards Eloise dominated his thoughts.

He'd allow Monika to stay at the office.

On New Year's Eve, he abandoned Eloise to go rescue Monika.

He'd blamed Eloise for being cold and ruthless and allowed Monika to get close after feeling neglected, testing his feelings for Eloise...

In a fit of rage, he'd allowed rumors to circulate about him and an actress.

Eloise remained silent, calmly signing the papers and finally giving up on their relationship.

She didn't want him anymore.

"Eloise." Harvey slowly approached her, calling her name.

Eloise stood straight, basking in the sunlight. The diamond ring on her finger sparkled brilliantly, piercing Harvey's heart.

"I've read your diary, and I've heard the recordings." He said, his voice barely audible. There was so much he wanted to say, but at this moment, he was struggling to find the right words, even though he was a top-tier attorney known for his eloquence in court,

Harvey felt lost.

The overwhelming emotions in the voice recordings were much more intense than his youthful romance with Joan, and it shocked him. Hearing his own familiar voice expressing such deep affection for a woman, he admitted he was stunned.

Eloise paused, but she quickly composed herself. She didn't ask anything else, only quietly asked him, "Where's the stuff?"

In a hoarse voice, Harvey replied, "In the car."

"I'll go with you to get it."

As Eloise walked towards the cemetery gate, Harvey grabbed her delicate wrist, unwilling to let go easily. "Eloise, you promised not to give up on me. I just need time."

Eloise blinked gently and lowered her eyes. Her gaze fell on the diamond ring. "Harvey, did I not wait long enough? Or did I not give you enough chances?

"I did promise. But I never thought there would be a Monika, or that she would become more important to you than I am... and then there's that actress.

"If it was him, he wouldn't treat me like this."

After speaking those words, Eloise seemed exhausted. She pulled away from Harvey's grip and headed towards the cemetery gate. The sunlight was blinding, and it hurt her eyes.

Harvey stood in place. He stared at the tombstone, engraved with Harvey and Eloise.

He suddenly realized, that before he had the chance to love her, Eloise had already left her love, right here.
